NCT ID: NCT05735938 Suspended - Clinical trials for Acute Coronary Syndrome

Use of ARIA in Risk Stratification for Chest Pain Patients Presenting to Emergency Departments Suspected Acute Coronary Syndrome

Start date: August 18, 2022
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The current assessment of patients with acute chest pain in the Emergency Department (ED) remains lengthy with the need for serial troponin. This contributes to overcrowding in the ED and work overload of clinical staff. These are associated with increased costs and adverse patient outcomes. The use of risk scores such at HEART score can be subjective and is not useful in risk stratification for those with higher risk (age and risk factors) to Major Acute Cardiac Event (MACE). Aim of Study: This study is designed to explore whether the use of Automatic Retinal Image Analysis (ARIA) can identify patients presenting with undifferentiated chest pain without the need for serial troponin test results in order to facilitate early and safely discharge and at high-risk MACE to receive early appropriate intervention. Hypothesis: ARIA or the combination with single troponin or HEART score can identify patients with undifferentiated chest pain presenting to the ED at low- and high-risk of adverse cardiac events within 30 days and 3 months after initial presentation. Procedure: The ARIA is a non-invasive and novel technology, it will be used to access the risk of acute coronary syndrome by analyzing of fundus (back of the eye) photo taken by a fundus camera. All subjects will be arranged to take a fundus photography (both eyes) by a conventional fundus camera, and capture the retinal photo. The images will be used to develop a risk stratification method for chest pain patients presenting to ED with suspected acute coronary syndrome (ACS). The fundus photography will be taken in the Emergency Department of Prince of Wales Hospital. The process takes about 5-8 minutes. Subject may feel discomfort for a short while at the time of photo taking due to flash exposure similar to ordinary camera flash, but the procedure is neither invasive nor painful. The fundus image will then be analyzed by computer algorithm developed by the research team. Apart from that, subject's medical history, ECG findings, age and sex, risk factors, and serial troponin levels will be recorded during their ED visit in order to work out the HEART score. Their disposal outcome from the ED will also be recorded. After 30 days, subject will be phoned to follow-up whether they have been readmitted into the hospital. If the subject have been readmitted, his/her investigation findings, diagnosis, treatment, disposal outcome, and length-of-stay will be recorded. The same follow-up process will be performed once more at 3 months after the subject has joined the study in his/her inital ED visit.

NCT ID: NCT05328375 Suspended - Clinical trials for Myocardial Infarction

Telehealth-enhanced Hybrid Cardiac Rehabilitation Among Acute Coronary Syndrome Survivors

Start date: March 11, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study investigates the feasibility of conducting a randomized controlled trial of telehealth-enhanced hybrid cardiac rehabilitation (THCR) compared with traditional cardiac rehabilitation (CR) among acute coronary syndrome (ACS) survivors. THCR is a novel, hybrid model that targets the same core components as traditional CR (e.g., exercise training, patient education, and risk factor management), but uses a mixture of telehealth, clinic-, and home-based activities to offer 24 CR sessions (5 clinic-based + 19 home-based) over 12 weeks.

NCT ID: NCT05051228 Suspended - Clinical trials for Acute Coronary Syndrome

Genetesis Accelerated Registry

GEAR
Start date: January 27, 2021
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Heart disease is the number one cause of death in the United States, with over 650,000 deaths in 2019 alone. Many healthy individuals possess key risk factors for heart disease which include but are not limited to high blood pressure, high cholesterol, family history of heart disease, and diabetes. The purpose of the Genetesis Accelerated Registry (GEAR) study is to understand the potential for magnetocardiography to be utilized as a diagnostic, screening or surveillance tool for heart disease in healthy and non-healthy volunteers. Magnetocardiography (MCG) is a diagnostic method that analyzes and records the magnetic fields of the heart for the detection of various forms of heart disease. There will be a 12-month duration of the study where we propose to collect screening data from approximately 500 volunteers who present to the Genetesis facility for a 5-minute CardioFlux MCG scan. The volunteers will be contacted at intervals over a 1-year period for follow-up data and may choose whether or not they would like to provide follow-up data or participate in another scan.

NCT ID: NCT04862026 Suspended - Clinical trials for Acute Coronary Syndrome

Telemonitoring of Patients With Acute Coronary Syndrome

TeleCor
Start date: April 29, 2021
Phase:
Study type: Observational

It is planned to enroll 950 patients in an open, prospective, randomized study to assess the impact of telemonitoring on the development of clinical events and improve the quality of life of patients with acute coronary syndrome. The duration of the study is 365 days, of which 180 days are enrollment of patients, 180 days are observation. The study of patients will include the collection of anamnesis, assessment of the clinical status of patients using special questionnaires, data of objective, laboratory and instrumental examinations. The instrumental complex of the examination will include: electrocardiography (ECG), 6-minute walk test (6MWT), Holter ECG monitoring (HMECG), echocardiography, veloergometry (VEM), assessment of the actual nutrition Nutrilogic, autogeneration of an individual diet (Nutrilogic), weekly telemonitoring. Laboratory examination includes: biochemical blood test. The main objectives of the study are to study the effect of telemonitoring on mortality from cardiovascular diseases (CVD), as well as the number of readmissions for cardiovascular pathology in patients with ACS. The secondary endpoints of the study include quality of life as measured by the HeartQol questionnaire and adherence to ambulatory monitoring.

NCT ID: NCT01151176 Suspended - Clinical trials for Acute Coronary Syndrome

Feasible Insulin Algorithm for Glycemic Control in Patients With Acute Coronary Syndrome

Start date: August 2012
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

The study aims to demonstrate that a simple intravenous insulin algorithm can be implemented in Latin America and will result in safe and better glucose control in patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) compared with SC insulin.

NCT ID: NCT00990197 Suspended - Smoking Cessation Clinical Trials

The Safety of Transdermal Nicotine Immediately Following an Acute Coronary Syndrome

STADIA
Start date: June 2005
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Continuing to smoke after having a heart attack greatly increases the risk of death and cardiac illness. The nicotine patch is a commonly used pharmacotherapy for smoking cessation and has great potential to help heart attack patients quit smoking. However, due to safety concerns, physicians are often hesitant to prescribe the nicotine patch to patients who have just suffered a heart attack. The STADIA pilot study will assess the feasibility of a large-scale clinical trial investigating safety and efficacy outcomes associated with the nicotine patch immediately following a heart attack. Eligible subjects will be randomized within 48 hours of suffering a heart attack to wear a transdermal nicotine patch on either day 1 or day 2 of the study period. The nicotine patch will deliver nicotine to the patient over the period of 24 hours. Patients will be advised to discuss smoking cessation strategies with their treating physician and subsequent care will be left to the discretion of this physician. The duration of ischemia (loss of blood flow in the heart), patient adherence, incidence of arrhythmia (disorder of the heart rate or rhythm), heart rate, and blood pressure within the two groups will be used to evaluate the safety of transdermal nicotine use immediately after a heart attack.
