Treatment Summary

Nitroglycerin is a medication used to treat chest pain and high blood pressure. It was first approved in 2000 and is now made by Pfizer and other companies in different forms like a spray, tablets, an intravenous form, an extended-release form, and a transdermal form. In addition to treating angina, nitroglycerin can also be used as an ointment to relieve the pain of anal fissures. The rectal ointment form of nitroglycerin was approved by the FDA in 1955.

Effectiveness

How Nitrostat Affects Patients

Nitroglycerin helps to relax the walls of blood vessels and increases blood flow to the heart. This reduces the amount of work the heart needs to do and improves symptoms of chest pain. However, taking nitroglycerin for a long time can make it less effective, as the body gets used to it. This is because the enzyme that activates nitroglycerin is blocked. Nitroglycerin tolerance can also lead to other issues, such as a pro-oxidant effect, reduced blood vessel function, and increased sensitivity to medicines that constrict blood vessels.

How Nitrostat works in the body

Nitroglycerin helps to relax and open up blood vessels, allowing more blood to flow. It does this by converting to nitric oxide in the cells, which starts a chain reaction. Nitric oxide activates an enzyme that turns a molecule in the body into cyclic GMP, which relaxes the muscles in the blood vessels and increases blood flow. It also seems to target receptors that help control how much salt and water are in your body.

When to interrupt dosage

The amount of Nitrostat is contingent upon the diagnosed illness, including Coronary Artery Spasm, induction of Uterine relaxation and Anal Fissure. The dosage also depends on the technique of administration (e.g. Tablet or Tablet - Oral) depicted in the table beneath.

Nitrostat for Angina

Nitrostat is very effective at quickly reducing the intensity of my angina pain, though it doesn't completely eliminate it. I worry about taking a second pill since it might drop my blood pressure too low; however, if the pain becomes unbearable, I would take another one and call for medical assistance.

Remote Monitoring for Cardiovascular Disease

18+
All Sexes
Halifax, Canada

The goal of this interventional study is to evaluate the implementation, usability, and clinical outcomes of a wearable medical-grade device in a virtual Cardiac Rehabilitation (CR) program, titled HEARTS in Sync. The question guiding this study is: Do patient clinical outcomes differ between those who use the CardioWatch 287-2 during the HEARTS in Sync program as compared to those who participate without using the CardioWatch 287-2? The comparison will happen between two non-randomized groups of patients who are enrolled in the HEARTS in Sync virtual CR program. The wearable device (CardioWatch 287-2), worn on patient's wrists, will provide clinicians with physiological information to better mirror the clinical oversight provided to an in-person CR program. Participants who choose to use the device will be asked to wear it daily. The clinical team will review weekly summary reports to help guide participant progress through the 13-week program. The primary objectives of this study are to: 1. Characterize participants (e.g., demographic health history, patient feedback) between those who choose to use the CardioWatch 287-2 device and those who do not. 2. Compare clinical outcomes between users and non-users of the device within the HEARTS in Sync program, by: 1. Tracking patient enrollment, attendance in virtual education sessions, and program completion rates, 2. Evaluating change in patient bloodwork outcomes, 3. Measuring change is physical ability, 4. Analyzing changes in eating behaviours, and 5. Examining quality of life using validated tools. 3. Asses the feasibility of the CardioWatch 287-2 for the HEARTS in Sync virtual CR program by: 1. Assessing device adherence 2. Reviewing patient feedback survey, and 3. Determining if clinician team were able to access and interpret data collected throughout the program The secondary objective of this study is to compare clinical outcomes of device users during the HEARTS in Sync program with patients who completed the on-site CR program. This research aims to better understand how a medical-grade device may improve virtual CR programming to extend clinical care to the community. As a result, this could lead to a more personalized care and better results for patients.

Endovascular Treatment for Stroke

All Sexes
Richmond, VA

Endovascular therapy (EVT) has proven to be more beneficial for patients with AIS caused by large vessel occlusions (LVO) than medical management alone. A recent meta-analysis of 5 RCTs showed that EVT significantly reduced disability at 90 days compared to medical management \[1\]. Despite its obvious benefits, patients may have neurological deterioration despite successful thrombectomy due to ischemia progression, intracranial hemorrhage, re-occlusion, or vasogenic edema. The incidence of early neurological deterioration (END) following EVT for acute stroke has been reported to be ranging from 14.1-35.2% with some studies defining END up to 7 days and some restricting the definition between 6-72 hours post thrombectomy. A small proportion of these patients, approximately 5.9-10.5%, experienced sICH following EVT. Whether END occurs due to ischemic or hemorrhagic it leads to worse outcomes.

Pharmacy Intervention for Medication Adherence

18+
All Sexes
Knoxville, TN

Socioeconomically disadvantaged populations with multiple chronic conditions have high rates of nonadherence to essential chronic disease medications after hospital discharge. Medication nonadherence after hospital discharge is significantly associated with increased mortality and higher rates of readmissions and costs among these patients. Major patient-reported barriers to essential medication use after hospital discharge among low-income individuals are related to social determinants of health (SDOH) and include: 1) financial barriers , 2) transportation barriers, and 3) system-level barriers. Although, medication therapy management services are important during care transitions, these services have not proven effective in improving medication adherence after hospital discharge, highlighting a critical need for innovative interventions. The Medication Affordability, Accessibility, and Availability in Care Transitions (Med AAAction) Study will test the effectiveness of a pharmacy-led care transitions intervention versus usual care through a pragmatic randomized controlled trial of 388 Medicaid and uninsured hospital in-patients with MCC from three large healthcare systems in Tennessee. The intervention will involve: 1) medications with zero copay, 2) bedside delivery then home delivery of medications, and 3) care coordination provided by certified pharmacy technicians/health coaches to assist with medication access, medication reconciliation, and rapid and ongoing primary care follow-up. We will examine the impact of the intervention during 12 months on 1) medication adherence (primary outcome) and 2) rapid primary care follow-up, 30-day readmissions, hospitalizations and emergency department visits, and costs. We will conduct key informant interviews to understand patient experience with the acre received during and after care transitions. By examining effectiveness of the intervention on outcomes including medication adherence, health care utilization, costs, and patient experience, this study will provide valuable results to health systems, payers, and policymakers to assist in future implementation and sustainability of the intervention for socioeconomically disadvantaged populations.

The objective of this study is to widely implement and evaluate the Care Transitions App in a randomized controlled trial. The app the investigators designed for patients with multiple chronic conditions has four envisioned modules: 1) falls-reduction content, 2) a digital post-discharge transitional care plan (e.g., after hospital care plan, including education, medications, follow-up appointments, warning signs to watch for, nutrition, and other care plan activities), 3) a new module for patients with MCC (diabetes, congestive heart failure, and chronic kidney disease) including condition-specific post-discharge care plans with relevant symptom management activities, 4) a new post-discharge report module which summarizes key care transition findings and allows for patients to enter notes and questions for their providers and their own goals for recovery.

CTO PCI for Chronic Total Occlusions

18+
All Sexes
New York, NY

Following unsuccessful CTO crossing a CTO modification procedure is sometimes performed. CTO PCI registries where plaque modification has been performed in some patients, report this to be safe, and associated with higher success rates at subsequent attempts. It has never been investigated whether a planned investment procedure, with an intention that both the initial and staged completion PCI are of shorter duration, could improve safety and efficacy. The investigators hypothesize that 1. A planned investment procedure in the treatment of CTOs will be associated with improved patient safety 2. A planned investment procedure will be associated with improved cumulative procedure success rates 3. A planned two stage procedure will be associated with improved patient experience
