Filter by:Main objective: To assess the efficacy of a phase III cardiac rehabilitation program (CRP), based on counseling in the maintenance of physical exercise (time of physical exercise per week) for patients with myocardial ischemia (MI), once the supervised physical exercise program of phase II of CRP is completed. Secondary objectives: To assess the efficacy of a phase III program of CRP based on counseling in the maintenance of physical exercise for the patient with MI in: 1) the energy expenditure per week, 2) body mass index and abdominal perimeter, 3) control of cardiovascular risk factors (smoking, high blood pressure, dyslipidemia and diabetes mellitus), 4) quality of life related to health, 5) assess the adherence to cardiac pharmacological treatment. Method: Randomized clinical trial in conglomerates, open and controlled. The intervention group will carry out phase III of CRP based on counseling in the maintenance of physical exercise. The control group will receive the usual care. The main outcome will be the physical exercise time per week after finish the supervised physical exercise program of phase II of CRP and at 6 and 12 month later according to the 7-day Physical Activity Recall.
Stress perfusion CMR has recently considered as one of the methods of choice for establishing the diagnosis of CAD based on its high diagnostic accuracy, lack of ionizing radiation as well as its ability to simultaneously assess the cardiac function, myocardial perfusion, and viability, however, there are some concerns on its suitability for assessment of myocardial perfusion in patients after coronary artery bypass graft surgery who suffer from recurrent angina. The study of hemodynamic forces offers a promising tool for further understanding of the interplay between the myocardium and blood as well as the mechanisms of cardiac filling. This work represents a retrospective follow up study of CMR data, available on CMR-database, from 112 patients with previous coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) performed around 10 years before the initial CMR examination. The study subjects underwent stress CMR testing; using both stressors; dobutamine and adenosine (done on two separate occasions). Injection of gadolinium contrast medium for late gadolinium enhancement was done with adenosine stress testing for late gadolinium enhancement (LGE). Offline analysis of these data will be done with the use of dedicated software for assessment for myocardial ischemia together with quantitative measurements of the hemodynamic forces with the help of dedicated software (QStrain version 1.3.0.79; Medis, Leiden, the Netherlands).
In the present study, the investigators aim to use the in-vivo Transcatheter Mitral Valve Repair (TMVR) model to determine how Mitral Regurgitation (MR) affects coronary hemodynamics in patients affected with severe MR and concomittant angiographically-documented coronary artery disease. The investigators will also provide unique physiologic data on the acute effect of TMVR using the MitraClip system on coronary microcirculation in patients with severe MR.
This study is designed to investigate whether drug-coated balloon (DCB) compared to conventional balloon angioplasty for side branch after provisional stenting will lead to lower rates of the composite endpoint of major adverse cardiac event (MACE) at 12 months. The individual components of MACE include cardiac death, myocardial infarction (MI), or target lesion revascularization (TLR). True bifurcation lesions were defined according to Medina classification.
This is a prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled clinical trial, which plans to enroll 260 subjects.
This is a single-center, observational, prospective study. This study aims to observe the effect of periprocedural myocardial injury on cardiovascular events in patients undergoing elective percutaneous coronary intervention, and to detect the levels of serum inflammatory factors before and after intervention to predict the occurrence of periprocedural myocardial injury and its association with cardiovascular events.
To compare in diabetic patients eligible for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with minimal exclusion criteria, the efficacy and safety of Abluminus DES+ sirolimus- eluting stents (SES) versus XIENCE Everolimus-Eluting Stents (EES). At least 40% of patients are expected to be affected by multivessel coronary artery disease and 30% with acute coronary syndrome
The purpose is to observe and evaluate the safety and efficacy of Bingo drug-coated balloon in the real world.
The main objective of the study is to demonstrate that the inclusion of eggs to a plant-based diet will not increase the risk for heart disease but will increase the concentration of lutein and zeaxanthin, two important antioxidants and will also increase choline, an important component of membrane phospholipids.
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of death in Trinidad and Tobago. Early detection and management can help improve morbidity and mortality. Retinal artery microvascular disease has been shown to directly correlate with coronary artery disease. Retinal artery calibre screening via the Optic Coherence Tomography (OCT) will provide a non-invasive method of diagnosing CAD.
