Abstract WP201: Stroke Patients With Atrial Fibrillation Detected by 72 hour- versus Prolonged ECG-monitoring
2018
Background: Detecting concealed paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (pAF) is a major focus in the workup of ischemic-stroke-patients. The minimal ECG-monitoring for stroke patients was recently expanded from 24 to 72 hours. However, it has been shown that even more prolonged monitoring reveals further pAF-cases. Our aim was to determine, whether known predictors for underlying pAF differ between stroke patients with AF that occurs on shorter (72h) or more prolonged ECG-monitoring (>72h). Methods: The Find-AF RANDOMISED -trial (NCT01855035) evaluated 3x10-day Holter-ECG vs. standard-care in patients > 60 years with acute ischemic strokes with the primary endpoint of novel pAF after 6 month…

How Do Cancer Registries in Europe Estimate Completeness of Registration?
2008
Summary Objectives: Several methods for estimating completeness in cancer registries have been proposed. Little is known about their relative merits. Before embarking on a systematic comparison of methods we wanted to know which indicators were currently in use and whether there had been comparative investigations of estimation methods. Methods: We performed a survey among European cancer registries asking which methods for estimating completeness they used and whether they had performed comparisons of methods. Results: One hundred and ninety-five European cancer registries were contacted after identification using membership directories of the European Network of Cancer Registries (ENCR) a…
Multidisciplinary program based in physiotherapy and nutrition in coronary artery disease patients: randomized controlled trial
2021
Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Introduction. The interventions on eating habits and exercise in physiotherapy programs are usually recommended in coronary artery disease (CAD), since they are beneficial to improve physical and nutritional status of patient. Despite this, scarce studies are focused on combined protocols based on high intensity interval training (HIIT) and dietary education in CAD patients with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Purpose The main goal of this study was to compare the effectiveness of a multidisciplinary program based in HIIT, with a program based in dietary education and HIIT (DEHIIT), on eating habits in CAD patients w…
Abstract TMP17: Revacept, an Inhibitor of Platelet Adhesion in Patients With Symptomatic Carotid Artery Stenosis. Safety Data From the International …
2020
Introduction: Revacept is a novel vascular lesion-directed inhibitor of platelet adhesion and thrombus formation, exhibiting no effects on the homeostatic functions of circulating platelets. Objective: The effects of Revacept on plaque-mediated thrombosis were investigated in patients with symptomatic stenosis of the internal carotid artery (at least 50%, following ECST-criteria). Methods: Within an international, prospective, multicenter (n=16), randomized trial 158 patients could be randomized to receive placebo, or 40/120 mg Revacept by intravenous infusion over 20 minutes. Cerebrovascular events and cardiovascular complications were followed up to 3 months. Results: 158 patients were f…
Professional Qualification of German Physicians in Medical Informatics
1994
Abstract:In addition to the medical education in the Federal Republic of Germany which includes a compulsory Medical Informatics course there exists a formal program for professional qualification of physicians in Medical Informatics. After two years of clinical practice and 1.5 years of professional training at an authorized institution, a physician may receive in addition to the medical degree a “supplement Medical Informatics”. The qualification requirements are described in detail. Physicians with the additional Medical Informatics qualification perform responsible tasks in their medical domain and serve as partners for fully specialized Medical Informatics ex-’ perts in the solution of…
Impact of a program based in eating habits and physiotherapy on anthropometric parameters in patients with coronary artery disease: randomized contro…
2021
Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Introduction. On the one hand, physical training such as High intensity interval training (HIIT) and on the other, eating habits, it is often prescribed to patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Nevertheless, the combination of HIIT and eating habits in CAD with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) there is no consensus on using a combined protocol of both. Purpose. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of an HIIT program with eating habits, with a program based in HIIT, on anthropometric parameters in CAD patients with PCI. Methods. A randomized controlled trial was carried out in a hospital. 44 pati…

Background and Purpose— Prevalence of atrial fibrillation (AF) is increasing, but the impact on overall burden of stroke is uncertain, as is the proportion that could be attributed to under anticoagulation. We did a population-based study of AF-associated stroke and a systematic review of time trends in other stroke incidence studies and of rates of premorbid anticoagulation. Methods— The proportion of incident strokes with associated AF was determined in the OXVASC (Oxford Vascular Study; 2002–2017) and in other prospective, population-based stroke incidence studies published before December 2017. Proportions were pooled by Mantel Haenszel methods, and the pooled percentage of cases with …
Abstract 124: How to Preselect Stroke Patients for Enhanced ECG-Monitoring - Evaluation of Predictors of Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation in "Find-AFra…
2019
Background: Detecting concealed paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (pAF) is a major focus of the workup of ischemic-stroke-patients, but requires elaborate ECG-monitoring. We aimed to evaluate pre-specified predictors to determine stroke patients with an increased probability of underlying pAF. We applied cut-off-levels recently suggested by the German Stroke Society 1 . Methods: The Find-AF RANDOMISED -trial (NCT01855035) evaluated 3x10-day Holter-ECG vs. standard-care in 398 patients > 60 years with acute ischemic strokes. The primary endpoint was novel pAF after 6 months. 27 patients in the intervention arm (13.5 %) and 9 patients in the control arm (9.0 %) met the primary endpoint (p=0.…
Abstract WP200: Development and Validation of a Score to Detect Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation During Long-term Holter-monitoring After Acute Ischemi…
2018
Introduction: Atrial fibrillation remains one of the most common causes of ischemic stroke. The diagnosis of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (pAF) frequently escapes routine diagnostic due to its intermittent and asymptomatic occurrence. Currently prolonged monitoring times (72h) are recommended, but did not find their way into everyday practice. Therefore an individual patient selection for prolonged ECG-monitoring might increase the diagnostic yield of pAF in a resource-saving and cost-effective manner. Methods: We used individual patient data from three prospective studies (n total =1556) which performed a prolonged Holter ECG-monitoring (at least 72 h) and centralized data evaluation af…
