Filter by:The purpose of the study is to assess the safety and efficacy of the BioFreedom Ultra stent for treatment of STEMI patients. Besides, in patients who are clinically indicated for a stage procedure, Investigators aim to assess the angiographic and endovascular healing of BioFreedom Ultra stent at one month This is a prospective, single center, post marketing registry. Investigators aim to recruit 50 patients. All enrolled patients will be followed up for 12 months. Restudy Subgroup For subjects who are clinically indicated for staged procedure, they will be recruited into restudy subgroup. Restudy angiogram of target lesion will be performed at 28 (±7) days. Intravascular OCT will be performed. The primary endpoint is target lesion failure (TLF) defined as composite of cardiovascular death, target-vessel related myocardial infarction (Q-wave and non-Q-wave), or ischemia-driven target lesion revascularization within 12 months (device-oriented outcome per ARC definitions) The co-primary endpoint in subjects who require stage procedure is stent strut coverage (degree of endothelialisation) as assessed by optic coherence tomography (OCT) at one month Secondary endpoints include 1. All-cause mortality 2. Cardiovascular death (cardiovascular and undetermined) 3. The composite of cardiovascular death, Target Lesion (TL)-related myocardial infarction and TL-related definite or probable stent thrombosis at one year. 4. Stroke disabling and non-disabling ARC definition 5. Myocardial infarction 6. ARC Stent thrombosis 7. Clinically driven TLR at any follow-up time point 8. Clinically driven target vessel revascularization 9. Any revascularization within 12 months following the index procedure, unless they are planned within the 1st month 10. Bleeding per BARC criteria For subjects in restudy subgroup 11. Restudy angiographic result (QCA) 12. OCT parameters including neointimal volume, neointimal area etc
The purpose of this study is to compare the risk of cardiovascular events associated with the use of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors in comparison with the use of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors among patients with type 2 diabetes. The investigators will carry out separate population-based cohort studies using health care databases in seven Canadian provinces and the United Kingdom. The study cohort will be defined by the initiation of a SGLT2 inhibitor or a DPP-4 inhibitor after SGLT2 inhibitors entered the market. Patients will be followed up until the occurrence of a cardiovascular event. The results from the separate sites will be combined by meta-analysis to provide an overall assessment of the risk of cardiovascular events in users of SGLT2 inhibitors. The investigators hypothesize that the use of SGLT2 inhibitors will be associated with a decreased risk of cardiovascular events in comparison with the use of DPP-4 inhibitors.
Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are currently the leading cause of death in industrialized countries and are expected to become the leading cause of death in emerging countries by 20201. According to the official Russian statistics, in 2015, CVD was the cause in 34% of deaths in Russia2. Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) is the most prevalent manifestation of CVD and is associated with high mortality and morbidity. No other life-threatening disease is as prevalent or expensive to society3. In 2014 in Russian Federation 46 250 people died from acute myocardial infarction (MI) and 17 605 people died from recurrent MI4. ACS is a clinical syndrome characterized by unstable angina (UA), non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) and ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). The most common cause of ACS is reduced myocardial perfusion that results from coronary artery narrowing caused by the formation of partially or totally occlusive thrombi in response to rupture of atherosclerotic plaques on the vessel wall5-7. In Russian Federation ACS management after ACS is provided in out-patient settings by doctors of different specialties (cardiologists and general practitioners (GPs)). However, the management of ACS in out-patient settings in some regions in Russian Federation is frequently suboptimal. Moscow city significantly differs from other parts of Russia from ACS management at hospital stage (up to 90% of PCI managed ST elevation myocardial infarction (MI) patients, no thrombolysis, short first medical contact to balloon time etc.) but it is unclear if management of post MI patients in Moscow out-patient settings is also optimal. In-hospital mortality in MI patients decreased last years but there is no data on clinical outcomes during 12 months after MI in Moscow. This study will provide the epidemiological data about rates of major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) (MI, stroke, cardiovascular death) within 12 months after MI in real clinical practice in Moscow and describe DAPT at out-patient setting. The information received in this study will help to optimize management of Russian patients with ACS. The data will be used in discussion with payers
The objective of this five-year prospective observational follow-up study is to examine the additional benefits of using cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) as a predictive indicator of cardiovascular events in high-risk patients.
This study is being carried out to see if a new drug called ticagrelor given twice daily in addition to the ASA therapy decreases the frequency of cardiovascular events (e.g., death from heart disease, heart attack, or stroke).
The purpose of this study is to review cause of death in patients undergoing prostate brachytherapy at a single institution. Furthermore, we are analyzing patients undergoing androgen deprivation therapy and whether or not this contributed to cardiovascular deaths, specifically myocardial infarction.
