Filter by:The objective of the GRAVITAS trial is to determine whether tailored anti-platelet therapy using the Accumetrics VerifyNow P2Y12 assay reduces major adverse cardiovascular events after drug-eluting stent implantation.
Many people who have recently left the hospital have difficulties managing their medications, and medication errors are common. Patients with low health literacy levels may have a particularly difficult time understanding medication dosing and instructions. This study will evaluate a literacy-focused program that provides educational assistance from pharmacists at the time of hospital discharge to people hospitalized with heart problems.
The investigators hypothesized that complementary intracoronary streptokinase administration to primary percutaneous intervention in patients with acute myocardial infarction may provide limitation infarct size and improvement in left ventricular volumes and function in acute and late phases (6 months).
The purpose of this trial is to evaluate the safety and indicators of efficacy of up to 4 doses of orally administered dabigatran etexilate, administered twice daily, compared to placebo when given in addition to dual antiplatelet treatment in patients with an index event (MI) at high risk for new ischaemic cardiovascular events.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of E5555 in Japanese patients with acute coronary syndrome.
The purpose of this clinical trial is to study the ability of a radioactive drug called "Technetium Glucarate" to detect whether the cause of chest pain in patients entering the emergency department with no obvious signs of heart attack is due to a condition called Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS). The drug will be injected intravenously. After one or two hours the patient will undergo an imaging procedure to detect if the drug has accumulated in the heart. Uptake of the radioactive drug in the heart is indicative of reduced blood flow to the heart.
The primary goal of this study is to measure the prevalence of undiagnosed pre-diabetes/diabetes among women hospitalized with acute coronary syndromes (ACS) compared to men. Inpatients with confirmed ACS (and no known prior history of diabetes) are invited to return to the Yale Hospital Research Unit 6-8 weeks after hospital discharge for an oral glucose tolerance test to identify individuals with pre-diabetes and diabetes.
The purpose of this study is to: - evaluate the performance characteristics (sensitivity & specificity) of iodofiltic acid I-123 imaging for detection of myocardial ischemia in patients that present in the Emergency Department with suspected Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS). - evaluate the safety of a single injection of iodofiltic acid I-123 in patients suspected of myocardial ischemia related to ACS.
The timing of intervention study is a prospective, randomized, international, multicentre comparison of the relative efficacy, safety, and cost effectiveness of a management strategy of coronary angiography and intervention performed within 24 hours of randomization versus delayed coronary angiography and intervention in patients after 36 hours with acute coronary syndromes (ACS).
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of VIA-2291 as compared to placebo on vascular inflammation following 24 weeks of dosing.
