Filter by:Left internal thoracic artery (LITA) has been acknowledged as the first graft of choice for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). However, it is still not conclusive which one is the best second graft of choice among right internal thoracic artery, radial artery, right gastroepiploic artery, saphenous vein, and etc., as well as its configuration for CABG. In our institution, saphenous vein has been primarily used for the second graft and we have harvested it with 'No touch technique'. We have been demonstrated the excellent long-term patency of this 'No touch saphenous vein' in many studies. However, it is still unknown which configuration is the better strategy for the saphenous vein as a Y-composite graft based on the left internal thoracic artery versus an aortocoronary conduit. Thus, we aimed to evaluate morphologic change of saphenous vein graft by 1-year intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) study and angiographic patency results between Y-composite graft and aortocoronary conduit.
The primary aim of this research is to explore the adherence and drop-out from early cardiac rehabilitation (CR), to inform interventions to support patient's adherence to CR and facilitate maintenance. The secondary aim is to understand which aspects of CR are essential for improving health-related quality of life in the short and long-term. This research will comprise four stages adopting a mixed-methods, quasi-experimental, repeated measures design.
Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a leading cause of premature death in Canadian women. Women who suffer an acute coronary event are more likely than men to be physically inactive, have lower exercise capacity, and die in the next year. The standard cardiac rehabilitation (CR) programs do not meet women's needs. There is a need to address these issues to increase participation in CR. The main purpose of this project is to evaluate the effects of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) compared to moderate-intensity continuous exercise training (MICE) on exercise capacity and quality of life in women with CHD. Positive results of this study will fill the gap in knowledge in exercise training, levels of motivation, self-efficacy and enjoyment following HIIT vs. MICE in women with CHD.
Current Status and Prognosis of Coronary artery disease patients treated with coronary intervention - Analysis of the Korean Nationwide Health Insurance Database
A multicentre, post-marketing, observational trial in 450 patients, whose standard diagnostic workup for chronic coronary syndromes provided for Invasive Coronary Angiography (ICA). Medical records of a potential subject of the trial before their enrolment contain a good quality result of at least 128-slice CCTA performed up to 3 months before the elective ICA. CCTA should find at least one ≥50% stenosis in at least one big coronary artery of ≥ 2 mm diameter. At one hour before ICA in the latest the patient should have a resting Continuous Non-Invasive Blood Pressure (CNBP) taken with a certified device delivered by LifeFlow. The last criterion before including a patient in the final analysis is at least one significant (≥50%) stenosis in one or two coronary arteries of ≥ 2 mm diameter visually confirmed by ICA with a FFR measurement taken in these arteries. The data collection period will cover time from admission for the elective ICA to discharge from the hospital (evaluation of possible adverse events related to invasive procedures). After initial qualification of available data by the attending physician, selected patients will be asked for a consent to participation in the trial no later than upon admission for the elective ICA and before CNBP measurement.
The primary purpose of this proof-of-activity, phase 2 trial is to evaluate the safety and activity of orticumab in subjects with moderate to severe psoriasis and cardiometabolic risk factors.
In summary, the purpose of the study is to evaluate whether the Wirecath device can be used as a standard pressure wire in a safe and efficient way.
The purpose of this study is to test the hypothesis that allogeneic Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) promote systemic and coronary endothelial repair through rescue of bone marrow progenitors in type 2 diabetic patients with symptomatic IHD compared to placebo.
The aim of this study is to compare coronary artery dimensions on Cardiac CT angiography amongst different ethnicities in Trinidad.
The quality of life, linked to physical, social and mental performance in people with coronary heart disease represents the primary goals in terms of rehabilitation. This is often developed to meet the expected performance standard in order to give the person effective autonomy. However, is the occupational balance always evaluated? and this management adapted? Does occupational therapist, expert in autonomy and independence in multiple illnesses and disabilities, has a major role to play in cardiac rehabilitation? This area of expertise and the application of occupational therapy to coronary patients seems appropriate, if not necessary. However, there are few scientific studies on the need to include occupational therapy within cardiac rehabilitation protocols.
