Nuala Byrne

Insulin resistance (IR) and inflammation are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and may contribute to obesity cardiomyopathy. The earliest sign of obesity cardiomyopathy is impaired left ventricular (LV) diastolic function, which may be evident in obese children and adolescents. However, the precise metabolic basis of the impaired LV diastolic function remains unknown. The aims of this study were to evaluate cardiac structure and LV diastolic function by tissue Doppler imaging in overweight and obese (OW) youth and to assess the relative individual contributions of adiposity, IR, and inflammation to alterations in cardiac structure and function. We studied …

Cardiac: Study Of Access Site For Enhancement Of Pci For Women (Safe-Pci For Women), Nainesh Patel

Nainesh C Patel MD

Description Multicenter, randomized, open-label, active-controlled study in which women undergoing an urgent or elective medical procedure to open a blood vessel in the heart (PCI) will be randomized to either transradial (through the arm) or transfemoral (through the leg) access site

Eligibility Inclusion Criteria-including but may not be limited to:
o Must be older than 18 years of age
o Must be female
o Undergoing urgent or elective PCI
o Appropriate performance scores

Purpose The primary study purpose is to assess the success and complication rates of the transradial approach to PCI in women compared with the transfermoral approach.
