Filter by:This epidemiological study investigates the association of recent stroke, acute coronary syndrome or pneumonia and adverse perioperative outcomes following elective non-cardiac and cardiac surgery using routinely collected UK primary and secondary care patient data.
The objective of the study is to investigate whether prophylactic treatment with melatonin has an effect on depressive symptoms. Secondarily melatonin's effect on anxiety, sleep and circadian disturbances will be investigated. The MEDACIS trial is a randomised, placebo-controlled, double-blinded multicenter trial investigating the effect of 25 mg exogenous melatonin (intervention group) against placebo (control group) and the study is designed as a parallel group superiority trial.
The primary objective is to describe the safety and tolerability of ticagrelor, by assessment of adverse events (characteristics, reporting rate, severity, relationship and risk factors), especially the bleeding events as defined in 8.1 and other serious adverse events (SAEs) during 1-year follow up in Chinese acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients.
This study will try to determine if the measure of the platelet reactivity of the patients receiving from the ticagrelor continuation in an acute coronary syndrome handled by coronary angioplasty allows to predict the hemorrhagic risk.
A nationwide registry of patients with acute coronary disease to evaluate epidemiological patient characteristics, medical management, implementation of invasive strategy, patient outcome and impact on quality of life in Greece.
The purpose of this study is to determine if Apixaban is safer than a Vitamin K Antagonist given for 6 months in terms of bleeding in patients with an irregular heart beat (atrial fibrillation) and a recent heart attack or a recent procedure to open up a blood vessel in the heart. All patients would also be taking a class of medicines called P2Y12 inhibitors (such as clopidogrel/Plavix) and be treated for up to 6 months. The primary focus will be a comparison of the bleeding risk of Apixaban, with or without aspirin, versus a Vitamin K antagonist, such as warfarin, with or without aspirin.
The TREASURE observational study is designed to address the need to understand the usage pattern of Ticagrelor in real life scenario in large number of ACS (Acute Coronary Syndrome) patients in India. The aim of this national study is to understand the usage pattern (including the duration of treatment) of Ticagrelor in various ACS patient population undergoing PCI (Percutaneous Coronary Intervention), CABG (Coronary Artery Bypass Graft) or medical management in a real-life setting in India.
Current patterns of P2Y12 receptor inhibitor use provide an excellent opportunity to test the impact of copayment reduction on clinician choice of medication, patient adherence, and clinical outcomes. The ARTEMIS trial is a practical multicenter, cluster- randomized clinical trial that will assess the impact of copayment reduction by equalizing the copayment of clopidogrel and ticagrelor. ARTEMIS will assess prescribing patterns, patient medication adherence, and clinical outcomes up to one year. We hypothesize that reducing out--of--pocket cost for P2Y12 receptor inhibitor will lead to improved adherence. Additionally, copayment reduction of both generic and brand antiplatelet agents may lead to a reduction in MACE risk. This is in part due to greater adherence to an evidence--based secondary prevention medication. Additionally the reduction in MACE may reflect greater selection of a more potent antiplatelet agent that has been shown to reduce MACE in randomized clinical trials, as provider choice of antiplatelet therapy will be primarily driven by risk- benefit assessment rather than the cost burden to the patient.
The objective of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of the Orsiro Sirolimus Eluting Coronary Stent System in the treatment of subjects with up to three native de novo or restenotic (standard PTCA only) coronary artery lesions compared to the Xience coronary stent system.
Elevated on-treatment platelet reactivity is an independent risk factor of major adverse cardiovascular events following percutaneous coronary intervention or ACS. People living with HIV patients have a higher risk of recurrent events after ACS than people without HIV. The investigators hypothesized that this increased risk is driven by higher platelet reactivity. Using a nested case-control study design, HIV-infected and HIV-uninfected patients with a first episode of Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) treated with percutaneous coronary intervention were matched for age, sex, known diabetes mellitus and anti-platelet therapy. The primary end-point was the residual platelet reactivity (RPA) on dual antiplatelet therapy assessed by light transmission aggregometry (LTA, 20µM ADP). The study was conducted in a two large public university hospitals in central Paris, France.
