The Alberta NutrIMM Study - Nutrition and Immunity
Excess weight, nutrition, and blood sugar levels can all affect immune function, which in turn can affect participants risk for heart disease and type 2 diabetes (T2DM). It is not known how diet, blood sugar, and weight affect immune function. The purpose of the study is to look at how …
Balloon Lithoplasty for Preparation of Severely Calcified Coronary Lesions
Severely calcified coronary stenoses are difficult to treat with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) using current techniques and there is little specific evidence on how to best treat these cases. It is hypothesized that balloon lithoplasty is superior to conventional balloons for lesion preparation of severely calcified coronary lesions before stent …
Cryoballoon Pulmonary Vein Isolation for Atrial Fibrillation With Heart Failure
The combination of atrial fibrillation (AF) and heart failure (HF) is common and implies a poor prognosis. Pulmonary vein isolation is an established method for the treatment of symptomatic AF in patients with normal heart function and has been shown to be more effective than drug therapy. Recently, radiofrequency ablation …
Effect of Nutritional Supplementation and Pulmonary Rehabilitation on the Clinical Status of HF and COPD
Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the leading cause of death in the world and our country. The prevalence of Heart Failure (HF) is 1-2% in the adult population in developed countries, up to 10% among people 70 years of age. Concerning COPD, it is estimated that by 2030 will be the …
Two-Year Study of the Safety and Efficacy of the Second-Generation Tissue Engineered Vascular Grafts
A single arm clinical trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of the second generation TEVG as vascular conduits for extracardiac total cavopulmonary connection.
Assessment of Paravalvular Leak After TAVI by Hemodynamic Measurements and Cardiac MRI
Rationale: Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has become the standard therapy for elderly patients with high surgical risks. Paravalvular leakage after TAVI is relatively common and there is conflicting evidence regarding the clinical impact of mild paravalvular leakage in self-expanding devices. Prospective data for self-expanding devices are required to compare …

Effectiveness of Combining Patient Follow-Up With an Educational Intervention on Self-Management Skills of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients: A Controlled Intervention Study in Primary Care
The purpose of this clinical study is to evaluate whether patient education provided in conjunction with a structured, shared follow-up plan in primary care strengthens the self-management skills of patients with Type 2 Diabetes (T2DM). The study also aims to determine whether the effect of this intervention is associated with …
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation and Constraint Induced Language Therapy for Alzheimer Disease
Impaired verbal communication is a cardinal symptom of Alzheimer Disease (AD) and the source of enormous distress and disability. Effective therapies for this deficit are lacking. In light of the emerging literature demonstrating that Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) improves general cognition in subjects with Alzheimer Disease (AD), the investigators propose …
