Filter by:This study is designed to evaluate the effectiveness of the current ticagrelor risk minimisation strategy in Canada through a prescriber knowledge and understanding (KAU) survey of selected important identified safety concerns (i.e., bleeding, dyspnea and drug interactions) and ASA dosage.
This will be a double-blind, 4-period, randomized, cross-over study conducted in healthy adult subjects. The purpose of this study is to characterize the effect of orally administered losmapimod on the electrocardiogram (ECG) parameters with a focus on cardiac repolarization as measured by the corrected QT interval (QTc) duration, compared with placebo and moxifloxacin. Moxifloxacin (Avelox) is a drug with a known potential to create a mild QTc interval prolongation; therefore, it will serve as a positive control to validate the ability of this study to detect a change in the QTc interval. All subjects will participate in 4 study periods separated by a minimum washout period of 5 days. Each subject will receive one of 4 regimens (A = Losmapimod 7.5 milligram [mg] Twice daily [BID] x 5 days, B = Losmapimod 20 mg Once daily [QD] x 5 days, C = moxifloxacin 400 mg on Day 5, D = Losmapimod matched placebo and moxifloxacin placebo x 5 days) in each of the 4 planned study periods in a randomized, cross-over fashion. Subjects will be assigned to one of four treatment sequences following a Williams design (ABDC, BCAD, CDBA, DACB). Follow-up visit will occur 10 to 14 days after end of Period 4
The primary objective of this study ist to test the hypothesis that ticagrelor is superior to Aspirin (ASA) fort he prevention of major cardio- and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) in patients undergoing artery bypass operation. The primary efficiacy MACCE-endpoint is the composite of cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, recurent revascularisation, and stroke at twelve month after coronary artery bypass operation.
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is a recent imaging modality that yields cross-sectional images with a resolution 10 times greater than that of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS). OCT uses a near-infra-red light source to obtain images of the interior walls of the coronary arteries and is increasingly used to evaluate vulnerable atherosclerotic plaques and assess placement and response to stenting. - To date, no study has evaluated whether optical coherence tomography (OCT) contributes to optimizing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and stenting. The DOCTORS study is a randomized, open label study to evaluate whether OCT-guided angioplasty would provide useful clinical information beyond that obtained by angiography, and whether this information would subsequently modify physician behavior and treatment choices. In particular, we will evaluate the impact of changes in procedural strategy resulting from the use of OCT on the value of fractional flow reserve (FFR) obtained after angioplasty and stent implantation of a lesion responsible for non-ST segment elevation acute coronary syndromes.
Clopidogrel is an anti-platelet medication approved by the U.S. Federal Drug Administration (FDA) for use in patients who undergo Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) with coronary stent implantation. Anti-platelet medications work to prevent blood clots from forming. Some studies have suggested that patients who have a certain genetic liver enzyme abnormality (known as cytochrome P450 2C19 [CYP2C19] *2 or *3 allele) may have a reduced ability to activate clopidogrel, and therefore may have a lowered response to clopidogrel. It is thought that perhaps people who have a coronary stent procedure may have this genetic liver enzyme abnormality. There is a research genetic test available to determine whether or not someone has this genetic liver enzyme abnormality. Ticagrelor, is a newer anti-platelet drug that is not dependent on the CYP2C19 liver enzyme for its activation and hence in poor clopidogrel metabolizers, alternative drugs like Ticagrelor have been recommended for use as an anti-platelet agent after PCI. The purpose of this study is to determine if genetic testing can identify the best anti-platelet therapy, for patients who undergo a coronary stent placement and do not activate clopidogrel very well.
In order to further clarify the interaction of PPIs with clopidogrel anti - platelet effect , the investigators designed a clinical randomized controlled trials of omeprazole and pantoprazole antiplatelet effect of clopidogrel .In this experiment , the investigators have taken a randomized NSTE-ACS hospitalized patients met the inclusion criteria were randomly divided into omeprazole and pantoprazole groups . On the day of admission , all patients taking clopidogrel loading dose 300mg + aspirin 300mg and the subsequent maintenance dose of clopidogrel 75mg + aspirin 300mg and omeprazole group taking omeprazole 20mg / d , pantoprazole group taking pantoprazole 20mg / d. Respectively, on the day of admission ( before medication ) , medication for 12-24 hours , medication after 72 hours , 30 days , each taken early morning fasting venous blood again , measuring AA 、ADP - induced platelet aggregation . And selected 30 days , 6 months and 12 months to record the patient's clinical adverse events ( including death , myocardial infarction , and any revascularization , stent thrombosis , recurrent angina , rehospitalization due to cardiovascular disease , bleeding events) . To assess the impact of PPIs on clopidogrel antiplatelet effect by observing 1 year follow-up results , and further explore the optimal combination of dual anti-platelet and joint PPIs course of treatment , appropriate dosage and the best time to provide reasonable for clinical programs to create a personalized treatment system , improve the patient's quality of life .
Physical exercise training appears effective for low to moderate patients assigned to cardiac rehabilitation. However, adherence to cardiac rehabilitation is low and physical activity levels often drop after attending the last supervised rehabilitation session. This study will compare home based physical exercise training including telemonitoring with regular centre based physical exercise training. Main outcome measures are the change in physical activity and the change in physical fitness (peak Oxygen uptake) after the initial rehabilitation period (12 weeks) and after 1 year. Secondary outcome measures are cost-effectiveness, training adherence, health-related quality of life and patient satisfaction.
12% of patients suffering from an acute crornary syndrome will develop long lasting anxiety symptoms. The object of this study is to lessen or prevent these symptoms by the use of neurofeed back (EEG-NF).
To determine the significance of a simple bedside clinical test (chest wall tenderness) to exclude myocardial ischemia in different demographic groups.
This study's general objective was to evaluate the efficacy of nursing orientation to reduce the anxiety of patients with acute coronary syndrome undergoing bed bath. The specific objectives included: the development and validation of an informative manual concerning bed bath; correlation of physiological variables (systolic and diastolic blood pressure and heart and respiratory rate) with the patients' state anxiety; correlation of antecedent variables (age, gender, cardiovascular risk factor, use of beta blockers, trait anxiety, depression, prior hospitalization, prior experience with bed baths, the patients' preference for a female or male professional to perform the bath, pain, fear, and embarrassment) with the patients' state anxiety.
