Intensive Rhythm Monitoring to Decrease Ischemic Stroke and Systemic Embolism - the Find-AF 2 Study

The hypothesis of Find-AF 2 is that enhanced (evaluation in a ECG core lab), prolonged (at least 7 days of rhythm monitoring annually) and intensified (continuous rhythm monitoring in high risk patients) not only finds atrial fibrillation more often, but that changes in therapeutic management (e. g. start of anticoagulation …

Sulodexide VESSEL for the Prevention of Recurrent Venous Thromboembolism (The Jason Study)

The study aims at optimizing extended management of elderly patients (> 75 years) with at least one of the known bleeding risk factor, who suffered from first episode of venous thromboembolism of the lower extremity (proximal deep vein thrombosis with or without pulmonary embolism) (VTE). Patients were randomized to receive …

Clinical Surveillance vs. Anticoagulation for Low-risk Patients With Isolated Subsegmental Pulmonary Embolism

The clinical significance of pulmonary embolism (PE) limited to the subsegmental pulmonary arteries, so called isolated subsegmental pulmonary embolism (SSPE), remains controversial.

Evaluation of the Right Ventricular Systolic Function Using Real-time Three-dimensional Echocardiography in Intensive Care Unit Patients

In the intensive care unit (ICU), acute RVF is mainly due to the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), sepsis or septic shock, and less often to severe pulmonary embolism or RV infarction. The anatomical complexity of the RV precludes any geometrical assumption to estimate its volume, hence its ejection fraction …
