Filter by:This study aims to compare the outcome between genotype guided versus clinical guided approach in selection of oral P2Y12 receptor blocker in Chinese patients suffering from acute coronary syndrome.
Blood tests may be able to quickly identify and exclude patients that are having a heart attack. Using these tests in the Emergency Department (ED) may lead to faster treatment, a reduced wait time, and quicker discharge for patients presenting with symptoms suggestive of a heart attack.
The purpose of this study is to examine, in a randomized controlled trial, the benefits and costs of the American Heart Association's (AHA) advisory for depression screen and treatment of post-acute coronary syndrome patients.
The aim of the Mashed Or Just Integral pill of TicagrelOr (MOJITO) study is to evaluate the superiority of Ticagrelor 180 mg LD mashed pill versus Ticagrelor 180 mg LD integral pill both orally administrated in decreasing residual platelet reactivity 1 hour after the administration among 70 patients with STEMI (ST segment elevation myocardial infarction) undergoing PPCI (primary percutaneous coronary intervention) with bivalirudin monotherapy.
The aims of the study are to: - explore whether platelet reactivity in patients treated wih novel platelet inhibitors is associated with clinical outcome - investigate whether a therapeutic window exist for novel platelet inhibitors - investigate the incidence of adverse events under treatment with novel platelet inhibitors in the real life clinical scenario - investigate the association between genetic polymorphisms, inflammation, platelet reactivity and clinical outcome - investigate synergistic effects between aspirin and novel platelet inhibitors
The aim of the present study is to evaluate candidate variables,including Cytochrome P450 2C19(CYP2C19) genotypes, clinical and demographic variables,to establish a simple risk score that can be easily adopted by clinicians to identify patients who are at risk for HPR and composite cardiovascular outcomes in Chinese Han patients treated with dual antiplatelet therapy.
Objectives: To determine the efficacy of low rate fluoroscopy at 7.5 frames per second (FPS) vs. conventional 15 FPS for reduction of operator and patient radiation dose during diagnostic coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention via the transradial approach. Background: Transradial approach for cardiac catheterization is potentially associated with increased radiation exposure. Low rate fluoroscopy has potential to reduce radiation exposure.
This is an OBSERVATIONAL Specimen procurement and data collections trial for acute coronary syndrome that will be conducted in the Emergency Department at Henry Ford Hospital. The standard protocol for evaluating patients in the Emergency Department for possible acute myocardial infarction includes the measurement of cardiac troponin over 3 hours. Subjects presenting to the ED with chest discomfort or ischemic symptoms will be eligible for blood draw protocol. The study is blinded to treating physicians and does not change current standard of care. After informed consent patients will have blood samples drawn at 0, 30 minutes, 1 hour and 3 hours. Serum from the samples will be stored in a -80 research freezer to be evaluated at a later time as new cardiac markers for acute coronary syndrome are developed.
To characterize and estimate the size of different populations with a history of acute coronary syndrome in Sweden. To assess the burden of illness (co-morbidities, mortality rates healthcare resource utilization and atherothrombotic events) among patients with a history of myocardial infarction (MI) 1-3 years ago and additional risk factors for atherothrombosis.
Periprocedural treatment with high-dose statins is known to have cardioprotective and pleiotropic effects, such as anti-thrombotic and anti-inflammatory actions. -Objective: to determine whether preoperative rosuvastatin loading is independently associated with reduced myocardial ischemia and clinical outcomes in patients with stable angina undergoing isolated off-pump coronary bypass (OPCAB) in patients with acute coronary syndrome. Study design - Prospective, double-blinded, single-center study of each 117 subjects enrolled - Subjects with acute coronary syndrome who meet all inclusion and exclusion criteria will be enrolled preoperatively. - Eligible subjects will be randomized 1:1 to A) High-dose rosuvastatin (n=117) vs. B) Placebo (n=117). - The amount of preoperative administration of high-dose rosuvastatin will be 60mg of a total - All subjects will undergo OPCAB procedure. - The primary and secondary endpoints will be compared at 30 days and 2 years postoperatively between two groups
