Filter by:Our goal is to examine sub lingual versus traditional oral administration of ticagrelor in ACS/non ST-elevation Myocardial Infarction (NSTEMI) patients on platelet reactivity.
Several studies and registries suggested that the concomitant presence of acute coronary syndromes (ACS) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is significantly associated with poor prognosis. It has been suggested that diagnosis of COPD is frequently missing. Thus, it is plausible that a significant percentage of patients with ACS may have unrecognized COPD. This missing diagnosis may contribute significantly to poor prognosis. The investigators suppose that the concomitant use of peak expiratory flow (PEF) measurement and of Respiratory Health Screening Questionnaire (RHSQ, adapted version) could be useful as screening test for COPD in patient smokers or former smokers admitted to hospital with a diagnosis of ACS. In all screened patients COPD diagnosis will be confirmed (or not) two months after hospital discharge with spirometry. In the same setting of patients, the investigators will characterize the underlying pathological mechanisms, evaluating several inflammation, platelet and endothelial markers.
This study is to describe the long-term antithrombotic management patterns in a real-life setting for patients hospitalized with an acute coronary syndrome in China.
The primary objective of the UPSTREAM Registry is to address the data gap regarding the course of NSTEMI (Non-ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction)between ED (Emergency Department) arrival and diagnostic angiography in detail, by characterizing and following the ED and peri-ED use of advanced OAP (Oral Anti-Platelet) agents. In addition to exploring ED treatment patterns and success of both ischemic and bleeding risk stratification prior to definition of the coronary anatomy, data generated via the UPSTREAM registry will allow plausible attribution of ischemic and bleeding outcomes to pre-catheterization antiplatelet therapy in the management of NSTEMI. This registry further seeks to demonstrate that contemporary use of upstream ticagrelor is associated with an economically-sound utilization of hospital resources, and smooth transition of care into the outpatient, secondary prevention setting for the first 30 days after hospitalization. Finally, it will allow characterization of patient selection factors and processes for ticagrelor vs alternative OAP agents, carrying out that descriptive comparison through discharge. Patients transferred in to an UPSTREAM hospital are eligible for inclusion, but the timing for OAP agent administration and diagnostic catheterization begin with ED care at the first hospital.
Through the National Registry of patients with ACS in the IMSS (RENASCA IMSS) the investigators will know the real world in terms of risk factors frequency, clinical presentation and its complications, and in the end they can build a risk model for early Major Cardiovascular Events (MACE).
Excessive radiation received by the operator has been described as a possible drawback of the radial catheterization technique when compared with the femoral access. The study hypothesis is that the use of radial access device dedicated radioprotective TRIPTable ® (Transradial Intervention Table Protection) is not inferior to standard femoral technique and superior to standard radial technique as radioprotection strategy to the operator in patients with acute coronary syndromes acute and submitted to cardiac catheterization.
The overall goal of this study is to develop, pilot test, implement, and evaluate a nurse-coordinated depression care model integrated into the care of Acute Coronary Syndromes (ACS) patients with rigorous assessment of feasibility, effectiveness, acceptability and cost in rural China. This study is a large multi-center, randomized clinical trial among 4,000 ACS patients from 20 rural county hospitals selected from a well-established research network across China.
The Registry pretends to identify stratification, diagnosis and treatment approaches in patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) in community hospitals with tertiary hospitals to optimize resources and identify strategies to improve health care quality through the creation of clinical guidelines that serve for unify management and treatment methods with adherence to international guidelines which include suggestions for treatment and medication.
RADIATION PROTECT is a randomized, controlled trial of patients undergoing coronary angiography or PCI with or without a pelvic lead shield. Interventional cardiologists who will perform the procedure will wear a radiation protection cap in all procedures. It is hypothesized that routine use of the pelvic lead shield and radiation protection cap during these procedures will reduce the amount of radiation in which the interventional cardiologists get exposed.
This prospective study aimed to validate a new prognostic approach of endothelial progenitor cells associated biomarkers in patients with acute coronary syndromes . Recruitment is made prospectively by two centers of Inter -region South Mediterranean,
