Filter by:Radial artery access use in percutaneous cardiac interventions (PCI) is associated with a lower risk of vascular complications, bleeding and major adverse cardiac events including cardiac death in the long-term follow-up. Intra-radial administration of vasodilatory drugs, transiently painful for the patient, reduces the risk of spasm and is currently the standard technique performed worldwide. However, the efficacy of intravenous administration of vasodilatory drugs has never been evaluated.
The overall goal of this project is to compare the absolute quantification of myocardial perfusion done by using CT myocardial perfusion imaging (CT-MPI) and the coronary flow measured by using CT Fractional Flow Reserve analysis (CT-FFR) to the gold standard represented by PET myocardial perfusion imaging (PET-MPI).
This study evaluates the effectiveness of virtual reality (VR) therapy in the treatment of depression and anxiety symptoms in patients undergoing second stage of cardiac rehabilitation. Half of the study group will receive VR therapy (VR group) as an addition to cardiologically monitored physical training. The other half of the group (control group) will receive Schultz Autogenic Training as a standard supplement to cardiological training
In this prospective open-label randomized trial, 160 patients with elective off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB) surgery were enrolled. After primary suture of aortocoronary anastomosis, if an area of hemorrhage was identified, patients were randomized to receive Floseal® or Collastat® (n=80), respectively. The selected agent was applied with compression of the target area for 1 min. If hemostasis was not achieved, the agent was re-applied for a further 1 min, and was repeated up to 5 min, after which rescue treatment was applied, including any conventional surgical methods.
The primary objective of this study is to compare, in patients with severe aortic stenosis and concomitant coronary artery disease accepted for transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) by the multidisciplinary Heart Team, the safety and efficacy of angiography-guided complete revascularization performed after (within 1-45 days) with angiography-guided complete revascularization performed before (within 1-45 days) TAVI using the Edwards SAPIEN Transcatheter Heart Valve®.
This study evaluates the effect of Indobufen and Aspirin on platelet aggregation and long term prognosis in patients with stable coronary heart disease.
The research question was to investigate whether non-surgical periodontal therapy could reduce cardiovascular risk markers in Coronary heart disease (CHD) patients.
The presence of myocardial ischemia is the most important prognostic indicator in patients with coronary artery disease. Therefore, the purpose of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is to relieve myocardial ischemia caused by the target stenosis. Fractional flow reserve (FFR) is an invasive physiologic index used to define functionally significant coronary stenosis, and its prognostic implications are supported by numerous studies. Contrary to the clear cutoff value and the benefit of FFR in pre-PCI evaluation, there have been various results regarding optimal cut-off values for post-PCI FFR. Nevertheless, the positive association between post-PCI FFR and the risk of future events has been reproduced by several studies. PCI with stent implantation is basically a local treatment and post-PCI FFR reflects both residual stenosis in the stented segment and remaining disease beyond the stented segment in the target vessel(s). Therefore, post-PCI FFR alone cannot fully discriminate the degree of contribution of each component. The relative increase of FFR with PCI is determined by the interaction of baseline severity of a target lesion, baseline disease burden of a target vessel, adequacy of PCI and residual disease burden in a target vessel. However, the most important problem in stratifying patients with better expected post-PCI physiologic results and following clinical outcome would be that there has been no clear method to identify these patients in pre-PCI phase. In this regard, we hypothesized that the amount of FFR step-up in pre-PCI pullback recording would determine the physiologic nature of target stenosis. For example, stenosis with sufficient step-up of FFR would deserve local treatment with PCI and these lesions would result in higher percent FFR increase, post-PCI FFR, and better clinical outcome than those without sufficient amount of FFR step-up. For this, we sought to develop automated algorithm to define physiologic major stenosis versus minor stenosis using pre-PCI pullback recording.
Low mobility is a mediator for poor outcomes of hospital care. Wearable devices will be used and 2-way texting via patient smartphones to monitor patients' physical activity during hospitalization with and without gamification to improve patient adherence to existing guidance on recommended activity. After discharge, investigators will assess patient care utilization (SNF, inpatient vs home rehab, ED visits, readmission) and conduct validated surveys on patient function at 30 days after discharge.
This is an observational study in which data from Indian people with coronary artery disease and / or symptomatic peripheral artery disease who will be receiving the drug rivaroxaban (Xarelto) are studied. Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a condition where the arteries that bring blood and oxygen to the heart become hardened and narrow. Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a condition with reduced blood flow in the arteries of the legs and arms. People with CAD and / or PAD with symptoms may receive rivaroxaban from their doctors to prevent problems (for example, stoke) caused by blood clots and hardening of the arteries. In this study researcher want to gather more information on the safety and the effectiveness of rivaroxaban when given together with the drug acetylsalicylic acid (also known as "aspirin") to people with CAD and / or PAD with symptoms in the routine practice in India. Researchers are especially interested whether patients under treatment experience any events such as minor or major bleedings, stroke, sickness of the heart or blood vessels. In addition, information on why and when treating doctors decide to start or stop the treatment with rivaroxaban and acetylsalicylic acid is of interest to the researchers. The study plans to enroll about 300 male or female patients who are at least 18 years old and are already treated with the two drugs or at least with rivaroxaban.
