Primary objective: To investigate whether urine prothrombin fragments are increased in individuals suffering from VTE (i.e. PE or DVT) or a myocardial infarction compared to healthy matched controls.Secondary objective: to investigate whether…
- To detect carotid and aortic plaque morphology and long term plaque behaviour in patients with cerebral and cardiac end-organ damage (NSTEMI / STEMI and TIA / CVA) with 1.5T MRI-derived virtual histology and relation to biomarkers.- To correlate…
Primary Objective: To assess whether ageing across body systems is accelerated by sub-optimal early life circumstances.Secondary Objective: To asses underlying mechanisms of the potential association between sub-optimal early life circumstances and…
To establish whether miRNA expression patterns in platelets, monocytes, plasma and endothelial cells differ between subjects with premature CVD and a positive family history of premature CVD as compared to age en sex matched healthy controls.
The primary purpose of this study is to determine the relation between a physically active lifestyle and the primary and secondary prevention of diseases and death.Using an online questionnaire, we will approach all civilian participants of the…
We intend to study the effect of trastuzumab on the cardiac neuronal activity in patients with HER-2 positive breast cancer by using iodine-123 meta-iodobenzylguanidine (123I-MIBG) and cardiac imaging. 123I-MIBG, an analogue of the false…
The goal of this study is to find an efficient early diagnostic and prognostic marker of myocardial ischemia and myocardial infarction. Extended screening of gene expression profiles in circulating progenitor cells in the peripheral blood of…
The goal of this trial is to collect long-term observational data on the tolerability, safety and efficacy of dabigatran etexilate in a spectrum of patients receiving bileaflet mechanical heart valves. All patients that have completed study 1160.113…
The primary aim of this project is to investigate acute effects of moderate- and high-intensity exercise in heart failure patients and their age- and sex-matched controls on retrograde and antegrade shear in the brachial artery, expressed in the…
Is sympathetic innervation and perfusion disturbed in patients with chronic kidney disease and will is change after HD?
We hypothesised that cardiovascular changes already exist in children with cystic fibrosis compared with healthy control children. Therefore, we will evaluate the cardiovascular system in a group of children with cystic fibrosis compared with…
- To investigate the cause of the symptoms patients with a vagus nerve stimulator experience during exercise.- To investigate whether there are changes in EEG during stimulation.
Objective:The hypothesis of this study is that laboratory markers for blood coagulation, platelet activity and inflammation may help to identify patients at risk for a recurrent cardiovascular event after ACS. Secondary, we expect to find…
The primary objective of the study is to relate depression and anxiety in CHF patients receiving an ICD to the occurrence of ventricular tachyarrhythmias. Secondary objectives of the study are:Assessment of the effects of depression and anxiety on…
Primary Objective: a) Do EC/SMC from patients with cardiovascular disease and renal failure have inferior reproductive capacity compared to cells from control donors?Secondary Objectives: a) What is the interindividual variation of cultured…
We aim to investigate thirst in the above mentioned patient groups, applying a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and, where ethically acceptable, a new thirst provocation test which we will develop in a group of healthy probands. Using these tools, we aim…
The goal of this study is to determine if off-pump CABG surgery is associated with better cerebral tissue oxygenation when compared with on-pump CABG. In addition, we would like to compare the results of two different monitors of brain tissue…
Objectives: 1/. To study the proarrhythmic effects of intracellular Ca2+ signaling alterations in AF.2/. To study the nuclear Ca2+ signaling in AF.3/. To study the Ca2+-dependent pathways activated in AF and the consequences of the inactivation of…
We would like to evaluate the beneficial effects of fibrate treatment on muscle mitochondrial and cardiac function in patients with NLSDM.
The primary objective of the study is to determine whether exercise training exerts a long term effect on maximal exercise capacity, clinical events, sports participation, serum NT-proBNP and quality of life in adults with a systemic right ventricle…
