Filter by:The study is a Randomised Registry-based Clinical Trial (RRCT) to assess whether dual antiplatelet therapy with ticagrelor and ASA compared to ASA alone improves outcome after isolated CABG in patients with acute coronary syndrome.
role of different risk scores in acute coronary syndrome to predict left ventricular remodeling
A prospective multi-centre observational study to validate the diagnostic accuracy of a transportable magnetocardiograph device for acute coronary syndrome (ACS), focusing on rule-out capability, in patients who present to the emergency department with chest pain symptoms consistent with ACS.
all patients with a left ventricular ejection fraction superior or equal to 50% less than 2 years after an acute coronary event and receiving ticagrelor will undergo a sleep polygraphy
Platelet function testing has been considered for DAPT strategy adjustments to reduce the patient's risk of ischemia and bleeding. Although several previous RCT studies did not find any benefit in the detection of platelet function， the previous studies were mostly low-risk populations, and the P2Y12 receptor antagonists were simply clopidogrel, and the detection methods were relatively simple. Therefore, the need for platelet monitoring in high-risk ACS patients receiving new potent P2Y12 inhibitor ticagrelor, as well as the diagnostic threshold for different platelet function assays needs further study. In addition, due to the differences on the response to anti-platelet drugs between the East and the West, it is not appropriate to simply refer to the conclusion of the other party. However, as of now, there is no large sample randomized controlled study systematically focused on the applicability and status of platelet function tests in East Asian populations, especially Chinese populations.
Vascular and myocardial inflammation are significantly increased in Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) patients, are closely correlated to LDL-C levels, and are associated with these adverse consequences in the post-ACS patient population. Serum proprotein convertase subtilisin/kerin type 9 (PCSK9) levels are also increased in ACS, may raise LDL-C, and the investigators' pre-clinical studies indicate that PCSK9 is also a potent inducer of vascular inflammation. The addition of the PCSK9 antibody evolocumab, currently approved to lower LDL-C in certain patient populations, to current medical therapies would appear to be of particular benefit in an important subset of ACS patients, those with non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) by markedly reducing LDL-C, stabilizing vulnerable plaque, and limiting inflammation-associated myocardial cell loss and resultant dysfunction.
The NHIC Cardiovascular Project is an observational, multi-centre and longitudinal study of clinical data from collaborating hospitals. A dataset of the longitudinal record for patients who presented with a suspected acute coronary syndrome, characterised by the request of a troponin test, has been developed (NHIC-Troponin Study).
Decision aids such as the HEART Pathway, Emergency Department Assessment of Chest Pain Score (EDACS), Revised Geneva Score and PERC Score have similar ability to accurately risk stratify Emergency Department (ED) patients with possible Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) and Pulmonary Embolism (PE) and have become standard practice in the ED setting. This study seeks to determine whether prehospital use of these decision aids is feasible and determine which are the most sensitive and specific for prediction of ACS and PE, respectively.
This is a prospective, exploratory, randomised clinical trial. Patients with diagnosed cancer that are to be treated with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) will be randomised into standard oncological treatment or a cardiological assessment prior to the 5-FU treatment. The investigators hypothesize that aggressive management of ischemic risk factors in asymptomatic patients will reduce the number of hospitalisations and investigations for acute coronary syndrome during and after 5-FU treatment and that patients with high coronary artery calcium scores are more likely to experience chest pain during the treatment with 5-FU.
