Filter by:We hypothesized that clopidogrel mono-therapy will not be inferior to the extended DAPT in terms of the occurrence of both ischemic and bleeding events, for lesions or patients at high risk for either ischemic or bleeding complications 12 months after drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation.
A Pilot Observational Study to evaluate safety and efficacy of the hybrid approach DES/DCB in treating de-novo diffuse lesions
Incidence of ST-segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) is rising and the existing emergency medical aid system for STEMI was not enough for timely perfusion treatment. No existing research with high-quality data focuses on the characteristic of STEMI incidence and regional network construction. Aiming of Guangdong GAMI(reGional network for Acute Myocardial Infarction) project is to establish effective collaborative regional network system for STEMI patients treatment.
The study is a prospective, multinational (Italy, Ireland and UK), multicenter, randomised Clinical Trial that compares the efficacy and performance of two drug coated balloon (DCB), the MAGIC TOUCH sirolimus coated balloon (Concept Medical) and SeQuent Please paclitaxel coated balloon (B Braun). The objective of the study is to compare angiographic outcomes of Magic TouchTM sirolimus coated balloon (Concept Medical) versus SeQuentTM paclitaxel coated balloon (Bbraun) for the treatment of de novo coronary artery lesions in small vessels (≤2.75 mm) with respect to Net Gain (mm) at 6 months follow-up
After a 30-year decline, heart disease is projected to increase up to 18% by 2030. Participation rates in cardiac rehabilitation remain extremely low and hopeless individuals are less likely to participate. This innovative study has the potential to advance science, improve patient care, and improve patient outcomes by demonstrating the effectiveness of the Heart Up! program to increase physical activity and reduce hopelessness in patients with heart disease. Hopelessness is associated with a 3.4 times increased risk of mortality or nonfatal myocardial infarction in patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD), independent of depression. Hopelessness has been identified in 27-52% of patients with IHD and can persist for up to 12 months after hospital discharge. Hopelessness, a negative outlook and sense of helplessness toward the future, can be a temporary response to an event (state) or a habitual outlook (trait). Hopelessness is associated with decreased physical functioning and lower physical activity (PA) levels in individuals with IHD. While research has investigated strategies to increase PA among IHD patients in general, the study team is the only group to design an intervention to promote PA specifically in hopeless IHD patients. The purpose of this randomized controlled trial is to establish the effectiveness of our 6-week mHealth intervention (Heart Up!) to promote increased PA in hopeless patients with IHD. A total of 225 hopeless IHD patients will be enrolled from a large community teaching hospital in the Midwest. Patients will be randomized (75 per group) to one of three groups: 1) motivational social support (MSS) from a nurse, 2) MSS from a nurse with additional significant other support (SOS), or 3) attention control (AC). It is hypothesized that 1) The MSS with SOS group will have the greatest increase in average minutes of moderate to vigorous PA per day at 8 and 24 weeks as compared to the MSS only or AC groups; 2) Greater increase in minutes of moderate to vigorous PA per day will be associated with decreased state hopelessness levels from baseline to weeks 8 and 24; and 3) Increased social support and increased motivation will mediate the effects of Heart Up! on a greater increase in moderate to vigorous PA at 8 and 24 weeks. The findings from this study could transform care for IHD patients who are hopeless by promoting self-management of important PA goals that can contribute to better health outcomes.
This study will assess the effect of lowering low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) with evolocumab on major cardiovascular events in adults without a prior myocardial infarction (MI) or stroke who are at high risk of a cardiovascular event.
The objective of this study is to compare the clinical outcome of Non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) and ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients with non-obstructive, non-culprit coronary lesions and either presence or absence of vulnerable plaque characteristics as assessed by optical coherence tomography (OCT).
A prospective, multicenter, registered cohort study to observe the incidence of 1-year major adverse cardiac events in patients with coronary heart disease co-morbid depression treated with percutaneous coronary intervention and to clarify the predictors of 1-year major adverse cardiac events post PCI among these patients.
The main objective is to investigate i) continuity of care, ii) health literacy and self-management, iii) adherence to treatment, and iv) patient preferences, healthcare utilization and costs, and to determine associations with future short- and long-term health outcomes in patients after percutaneous coronary intervention.
The aim of the study is to assess the safety and efficacy of the device to treat coronary de novo and restenotic lesions.
