Filter by:Patients with atherosclerosis are at high risk of future cardiovascular disease. Approximately 70% cardiac death and 50% myocardial infarction (MI) occurred among patients with established coronary artery disease (CAD). These patients have a four to seven-fold risk of fatal or non-fatal MI compared with those without CAD. Current secondary prevention therapy, including statins and anti-platelet therapy have decreased mortality among CHD patients. However, one out of five patients with MI experienced cardiovascular events within one-year of discharge. This study aims at identifying new risk factors of atherosclerosis, improving risk-stratification among patients with CAD by using novel biomarkers and finally improving outcome and life quality of patients. The investigators will recruit 30000 patients undergoing elective elective coronary angiography and collect baseline characteristics, physical examination, lab test results, angiographic characteristics, etc. Blood sample will also be collected at baseline. Subsequently, two-year follow-up will be done to collect data regarding patients' outcome, including cardiac death, MI, revascularization, medication, etc. Investigators will compare baseline, imaging, blood test results between patients with and without cardiovascular events and identify novel predictors of the occurrence and progression of CAD.
Radial approach is widely established in cardiac diagnostic and therapeutic treatments. It has been shown to decrease bleeding, vascular problems, and mortality rates when compared to the femoral approach. It also offers better comfort to patients through early mobility and lowers hospital expenses. Previously, there were no specific devices for radial artery hemostasis. Many different types of dressings were used in various hospitals with no standardization. This raises the question of whether specific devices surpass dressings in terms of patient comfort, time required to maintain hemostasis, and vascular complications. The primary goal of this study was to examine the effectiveness of compression dressings and hemostatic wristbands on patients undergoing cardiac procedures via radial approach in terms of patient comfort, time required to maintain hemostasis, and vascular problems. The hemostatic wristband TR BandR (Terumo Corporation, Tokyo, Japan) was utilized in one group, while compressive elastic dressing, standardized as 13 threads gauze overlapped, opened, longitudinally pleated once and wrapped, making a 5-cm long cylinder, 1-cm in height, was used in the other.
The purpose of this study is to characterize the distribution of lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)) levels among participants with a history of ASCVD as defined by their medical history and is 2-fold: - Evaluate the distribution of Lp(a) value in the overall participants with documented history of ASCVD - Evaluate the distribution of Lp(a) value in participants with documented history of ASCVD by demographics and regions
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effect of olezarsen on percent change in fasting triglyceride (TG) levels compared to placebo at Months 6 and 12 and the percentage of participants who achieve different thresholds in fasting TG. Another objective is to evaluate the effect of olezarsen on percent change in fasting apolipoprotein C-III (apoC-III), very low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (VLDL-C), remnant cholesterol, non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C), HDL-C, total cholesterol (TC), apolipoprotein B (apoB), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and apolipoprotein A-1 (apoA-1).
The study is intended to estimate the proportion and clinical management of people with type 2 diabetes having atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases or who are at high risk to develop atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases. Participants will be asked to give information about their health. Partipants will continue normal way of life and will not get any medication other than those prescribed to them by the doctor. The study will last for about 6 months.
The REDUCE-IT Canada SA Study is a cross-sectional study aiming to determine the proportion of study participants who meet the Health Canada-approved indication for icosapent ethyl (IPE;Vascepa®).
This study intends to build a model through deep learning that can automatically and accurately detect plaques, calculate the lumen stenosis rate and evaluate the stability of plaques based on the carotid transverse axis dynamic ultrasound images and contrast-enhanced ultrasound images, so as to comprehensively evaluate the possibility of carotid plaques. cardiovascular risk. The successful development of this study will automatically simulate and reproduce the whole process of carotid plaque assessment by clinical sonographers. Solve the problem of ultrasonic inspection equipment and experience dependence. It is expected to carry out large-scale population intelligent screening, providing new ideas for early prevention and treatment. Especially in medically underdeveloped remote areas and the lack of experienced sonographers, it has great practical value in clinical health care and can bring greater social and economic benefits.
Chronic kidney disease (CKD), is characterized by accelerated development of atherosclerosis and advanced remodelling of vessels and the heart. It is associated with many factors, including inflammation, arterial hypertension, hyperlipidemia, hyperhomocysteinemia, secondary hyperparathyroidism, and oxidative stress. Hypertension is one of the most critical risk factors for cardiovascular complications. It leads to the formation of structural changes in the vascular system: it impairs the activity of the endothelium, causes hypertrophy and remodelling of the vascular wall, reduces the susceptibility of the vessels and accelerates the development of atherosclerosis. This study aimed to identify the processes and their representative markers, the concentration of which in the serum may reflect the cardiovascular system status and can predict the increased mortality in HD patients.
The purpose of this study is to assess short and long term outcomes of stenting for symptomatic intracranial arterial stenosis.
