This study looks at two ways of managing anesthesia during non-intubated video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (NIVATS), a type of chest surgery where patients breathe on their own without a breathing tube. Researchers will review records of 120 adults who had this surgery to crea…

This study follows 319 people under 21 who developed heart inflammation (myocarditis or pericarditis) within 21 days of receiving the Comirnaty (Pfizer) COVID-19 vaccine. Researchers will monitor their heart function with imaging tests for up to 5 years to see if there are lastin…

This study follows 500 children and adults with recurrent pericarditis (repeated inflammation of the heart lining) to better understand the disease. Researchers will track which treatments patients use, how the disease affects quality of life, and the economic costs. The goal is …

This study looks at people with rare adrenal tumors (pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas) that do not produce excess hormones. Researchers want to see if these 'silent' tumors still cause heart problems, blood pressure changes, or metabolic issues like diabetes and high choleste…
