Filter by:The MyoVista system is a novel electrocardiogram technology that provides non‐invasive assessment of myocardial abnormalities by analyzing energy changes at the cellular level of the myocardium.
Coronary revascularization improves survival for patients with coronary artery disease. However,many patients are left with poor physical and mental health. Traditional cardiac rehabilitation involves moderate intensity continuous exercise (MICE). Alternatives to traditional cardiac rehabilitation programming may however provide superior understudied benefits to patients with poor physical and mental health. Nordic walking (NW) and high-intensity interval training (HIIT) are two examples of alternative programs for cardiac rehabilitation, which may provide superior physical and mental health benefits when compared to traditional MICE. The main purpose of this project is, therefore, to determine the short and long term physical and mental health benefits of alternative cardiac rehabilitation modalities, including NW and HIIT on exercise capacity, quality of life and depression after a 12-week program.
Postmarket surveillance in terms of the safety and efficacy of Sirolimus-eluting Coroflex ISAR Stent for the treatment of "real world" patients with de-novo and restenotic lesions after stand-alone angioplasty in coronary arteries
The investigators hypothesize that chemoreflex response of muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) during hypoxia and hypercapnia will be increased in coronary artery disease (CAD) patients and that the presence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) will potentiate these responses. And, that the exercise training would decrease the chemoreflex response of MSNA in these patients.
The main objective of the SeQuent® Please Neo post market surveillance is to assess the clinical suitability of the combination of pre-dilatation using the NSE Alpha scoring balloon before the use of the paclitaxel-coated SeQuent® Please Neo in an 'all comer'/ 'real world' setting for the treatment of in-stent restenosis and de-novo lesions.
The purpose of the Patient and Provider Assessment of Lipid Management Registry (PALM) is to gain a better understanding of physicians' cholesterol medication prescribing practices, patient and physician attitudes and beliefs related to cholesterol management, and current utilization of cholesterol-lowering therapies given the new ACC/AHA guideline recommendations. The PALM Registry hopes to allow for the design of ways to improve cholesterol management and decrease the burden of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in the US.
The objective of this investigation is to compare the cardioprotective effects and safety of two cardioplegic solutions, HTK Cardioplegic Solution (Custodiol) and Custodiol-N in patients undergoing aortic valve surgery. The study design is a prospective, double blind, multicenter, randomized, Phase III comparison study intended to demonstrate superiority in surgical outcome between Custodiol and Custodiol-N as determined by CK-MB peak value 4-24 hours after opening of the aortic cross-clamp (primary endpoint), catecholamine requirement (cumulative dose) and cardiac Troponin T, occurrence of comorbid events postoperatively (e.g., myocardial infarction).
Now, adipose tissue is established as an active endocrine organ that controls systemic energy homeostasis by secretion of adipokines. Recently, members of the C1q/tumor necrosis factor-related protein (CTRP) family have been reported to share structural homology with adiponectin. To date, 15 CTRP family members have been found that might play major roles in metabolism and inflammation. The investigators tried to clarify the relationship between CTRP family and coronary artery disease (CAD) in Korean men and women.
Antiplatelet therapy with aspirin-clopidogrel reduces the risk of cardiovascular episodes after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with acute coronary syndromes. However, a significant number of patients experience recurrent events while on such therapy. The individual response to dual antiplatelet therapy is not uniform, and consistent findings across multiple investigations support the association between a lower degree of platelet inhibition, high on-treatment platelet reactivity, and the occurrence of atherothrombotic events [1, 2]. Particularly in diabetic patients, clopidogrel resistance is more prevalent compared with non-diabetics [3,4], which seems to contribute to the increased atherothrombotic risk in these patients compared with those without diabetes mellitus (DM) [5]. A number of platelet function instruments have now become available that are simple to use and can be utilized as point-of-care (POC) instruments in order to monitor antiplatelet therapy and potentially assess the risk of a recurrent event [6].
There are two separate objectives in this study: 1. To demonstrate the pharmacodynamic (PD) profile when participants treated with cangrelor are switched to oral prasugrel 60 mg administered 30 minutes (min) after cangrelor infusion is discontinued 2. To demonstrate the PD profile when participants treated with cangrelor are switched to oral clopidogrel 600 mg administered during or immediately after cangrelor infusion.
