Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to determine if a standardized 12-point acupuncture protocol will reduce pain in participants with stable angina. This study addresses the critical need to reduce persistent pain for angina. The investigators long-term goal is symptom management for diverse women and men with angina, targeting additional angina burden borne of social disadvantage Participants will be randomized to a 10-acupuncture session protocol, two treatments per week for five weeks, or an attention control group. Participants will view designated, non-pain related Technology, Entertainment, Design Talks equal to the time spent receiving acupuncture (~7.5-10 hrs.). The investigators will test the efficacy of acupuncture for stable angina/chest pain syndrome to reduce pain and symptoms, improve health-related quality of life, reduce healthcare utilization and and improve patient related health outcomes.
The purpose of this study is to assess in recently diagnosed stable Angina patients symptomatic despite first line hemodynamic therapy, the effect of a combination of this hemodynamic agent with a metabolic one (trimetazidine). The treatment effect will be measured by the reduction of patients' angina symptoms, physical limitation and an improvement of quality of life using the Seattle Angina Questionnaire-7 items (SAQ-7) Patients will be also proposed to complete a BEAMER (BEhavioral and Adherence Model for improving quality, health outcomes and cost-Effectiveness of healthcaRe) questionnaire which will contribute to a separate research project developed by the Innovative Medicines Initiative (IMI). Analysis of the BEAMER questionnaires will be performed outside the study by the IMI BEAMER Consortium for BEAMER purposes only.
Distal radial access (DRA) in the anatomical snuffbox (AS) is a relatively novel approach that can be considered an alternative to trans radial access (TRA) for coronary procedures. Several observational and randomized studies have established its feasibility and safety, with evidence of certain advantages over TRA, such as a reduction in hemostasis time, a lower incidence of complications at the puncture site, and a lower incidence of radial artery occlusion (RAO). Notwithstanding that a recent randomized study reported a similar RAO rate between DRA and TRA, several meta-analyzes confirm the advantages of DRA, despite a consistently higher crossover rate. The objective of this observational study is to assess the performance of the procedure and to compare clinical characteristics in an all-comer population undergoing diagnostic or interventional coronary procedures. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Determine the success rate of DRA and measure the incidence of RAO in an all-comer population undergoing coronary procedures. - Compare the clinical and anatomical characteristics of patients with DRA for coronary procedures and determine predictors of failure of access.
The purpose of the COMPLEX Registry is to prospectively and retrospectively collect baseline, clinical and procedural data of patients who have undergone PCI or CABG for complex and/ or calcified chronic CAD, irrespective of clinical presentation as well as to prospectively collect data about their clinical outcomes. The outcomes will be compared in different clinical subgroups (e.g. PCI vs. CABG). The impact of current PCI techniques/ devices, but also CABG strategies in different clinical settings and coronary artery lesions on cardiovascular outcomes will be assessed.
The aim of this study is to evaluate feasibility, efficacy, and adherence of home-based cardiac rehabilitation with the integration of telemedicine. Several components will be assessed such as quality-of-life, nutritional counseling, maximum metabolic activity (MET's), diabetic management, tobacco cessation, lipid, blood pressure, and psychosocial management. These tasks will be accomplished through concurrent conversations between patients and their therapist's utilizing telemedicine with observed exercise training.
Cardiac rehabilitation is a medically recommended program for patients with certain heart conditions. It includes exercise training, health education, and counseling. Unfortunately, many patients do not participate in cardiac rehabilitation. Some find it challenging to attend the in-person sessions. This study aims to compare two methods of delivering cardiac rehabilitation: in-person and through telehealth. The investigators want to know if the effects of these two programs are alike and if certain individuals benefit more from one program over the other.
We will establish a cohort of 570 symptomatic chronic coronary syndrome patients undergoing 15O-water PET and assess their symptoms through repeated questionnaires. Two hundred patients with abnormal perfusion will be randomized to immediate or delayed referral to invasive coronary angiography with concomitant optimization of guideline-directed medical therapy with repeated 15O-water PET and questionnaires at 3 and 6 months. The primary objective is to compare the potential benefit of early invasive coronary angiography (ICA) versus guideline directed medical therapy (GDMT) on symptomatic relief defined as freedom of angina after 3 months following a positive [15O]H2O cardiac PET/CT in patients with symptomatic chronic coronary syndrome.
The main objective is to prospectively validate the capacity of continuous thermodilution coronary flow reserve (CFRflow) as a predictor of the presence of angina measured by SAQ7 in patients with INOCA at 3 months. Secondary objectives include identifying hemodynamic factors related to the persistence of angina at 3 and 12 months, identifying clinical factors associated with the persistence of angina, establishing the prevalence of patients with coronary microvascular dysfunction within the cohort of INOCA patients, identifying predictors of major cardiovascular events at 12 months, validating the pathological value of MMR and establishing the pathological value of AF measured in ml/min. The study also aims to evaluate the concordance between measures of the coronary microvascular function obtained by continuous thermodilution and bolus thermodilution, as well as their concordance with clinical characteristics.
To establish the effectiveness and tolerability of standard of care anti-anginal treatment (beta-blocker and calcium channel blocker medications) in older adults with symptomatic Stable Ischemic Heart Disease (SIHD) and multiple chronic conditions (MCC).
The purpose of this observational study is to compare the impact of rotational atherectomy to conventional stenting and to investigate how it may affect coronary microcirculation in patients with calcified coronary artery lesions and stable CAD. The study's objectives are to: - investigate the impact of rotational atherectomy on the prevalence of post-percutaneuos coronary intervention coronay microvascular dysfunction; - investigate the impact of conventional stenting on the prevalence of post-percutaneuos coronary intervention coronay microvascular dysfunction; and - compare the impact of both percutaneuos coronary interventions on coronary microvascular dysfunction. Patients with calcified lesions will be enrolled prospectively and will have serial invasive and non-invasive microvascular testing prior to and after rotational atherectomy or conventional stenting.
