Filter by:Thirty patients scheduled to coronary angiography and IVUS in according to their treating physician decision will be enrolled in the study. The coronary angiography and IVUS will be done on according to regular clinical standards. As the study protocol, 40 cc of blood will be drawn from the patients after written informed consent. The laboratory tests will be processed for the above mentioned serum markers of unstable plaque. A multivariate correlation test will be done between the different serum markers and the plaque morphology by angiography and composition (virtual histology) by IVUS.
The primary objective of this clinical trial is to evaluate safety of switching from fondaparinux to either unfractionated heparin or bivalirudin for patients experiencing acute coronary syndrome undergoing percutaneous coronary angioplasty.
During the 6-month period 119 patients with acute coronary syndrome, were randomized to either stent graft group (n=40), sirolimus eluting stent group (n=39), or bare metal stent group (n=40). Demographic, angiographic and procedural characteristics were similar for all three groups. The incidence of 6-month major adverse coronary events were analysed.
The purpose of this project is to examine the effectiveness of computed tomographic angiography (CTA) in patients with non-ST elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS). People who are hospitalized with this situation often require an angiogram to assess the heart and its arteries. Recent advancements in technology have enabled CTA to clearly define coronary artery anatomy with great accuracy and to guide treatment strategies in select patient populations. We are investigating that CTA may be used, as an alternative to conventional angiograms, for the risk stratification of patients with high risk NSTE-ACS. Patients eligible for the study will be high risk NSTE-ACS and awaiting an angiogram. Enrolled patients will undergo CTA prior to the angiogram. With each CTA the patient will be injected with a small dose of an X-ray dye and will be asked to lie still on the "scanning bed" for a period of 5-10 minutes.
Release of troponin evaluated by the peak of troponin during the hospital phase.Because of its sensitivity and specificity as well as its widespread use in routine practice, rise in troponin levels is the main assessment criteria of this study. We plan to demonstrate a significantly altered distribution of the troponin release as evaluated by the peak of troponin for each patient during the hospitalization period (from randomization to cardiologic unit discharge), in the two arms of the trial.
The study hypothesis is that differential proteomic techniques can be used to discover new circulating biomarkers of coronary atherosclerosis in the blood of patients suffering from coronary artery disease (either stable or unstable) who will be compared to a group of patients without coronary artery disease
The purpose of the study was to test a telephone counseling intervention for patients after leaving the hospital for a heart attack to use medication, exercise, healthy eating and smoking cessation to prevent further heart attacks.
The purpose of the study is to procure blood samples from patients who present to the Emergency Department with suspected ACS (Acute Coronary Syndrome).
To determine the rate of symptomatic and asymptomatic gastrointestinal erosions and ulcerations in patients on dual antiplatelet (aspirin and clopidogrel) therapy after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
The objective of the VALIDE study is to validate that a 25% dose reduction of enoxaparine in patients with moderate renal failure (creatinine clearance between 30 and 50 ml/min) and hospitalized for an acute coronary syndrome provides at steady state a similar anti Xa level in plasma compared to that obtained in patients without renal failure and receiving the usual dose of 1 mg/kg subcutaneously every 12 hours. 140 per - protocol patients are planned to be included.
