Filter by:A Prospective, observational, single center diagnostic study to investigate the the diagnostic agreement between QFR and the pressure wire-based iFR in a real world setting.
In this study, the relative bioavailability of different formulations of AZD5718 will be determined in order to compare it with the formulation used in a previous Phase 2a study and confirm appropriate drug exposure. This study consist of 2 parts. In Part 1, 5 different formulations of AZD5718 would be provided to the participant in fasting condition in a randomized order. After evaluation of Part 1 a single formulation would be selected for dosing in fed condition in Part 2. Each participant will be involved in the study for approximately 5 to 6 weeks. Fourteen participants will be randomized to ensure at least 10 evaluable participants at the end of the last treatment period.
Clopidogrel is a prescription medicine used to minimize blood clot formation in patients with cardiovascular disease, particularly those undergoing heart catheterization and stroke. A substantial amount of medical evidence has proven that patients with stroke or heart diseases can benefit from this medicine. However, significant variability in such expected benefits has been found among individuals receiving clopidogrel, with some patients not having the benefit of reduced complications and adverse cardiovascular events. Prior studies have demonstrated a significant association between certain variants on patient's genes (e.g., CYP2C19) and poor response to clopidogrel and, therefore, major adverse cardiovascular events. Variation in other genes and other factors such as platelet activation, weight, diabetes mellitus (a medical condition that produces high blood sugar), concomitant use of other drugs, and smoking status have also been proposed to be related to the same adverse outcomes. In this study, the investigators would like to determine a possible association between these genes and the response to the medication among Caribbean Hispanic cardiovascular patients on clopidogrel. In other populations, it is known that patients with certain genetic variants have lower or magnified responses to this medication when compared to those individuals taking the same dose and not carrying the genetic variations. However, a fundamental gap remains in understanding whether the genomic diversity of Caribbean Hispanics accounts for the observed high inter-individual variability of clinical outcomes to preventive dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) with clopidogrel.
The aim of this project is to study the safety and efficacy of anthocyanins in improving key dementia-related mechanisms and cognitive functioning in older people at risk for dementia. Secondary analyses will include a variety of biological measures, including biochemistry, imaging and cardiovascular measures.
The aim of this study was to observe the effect of transcutaneous acupoint electrical stimulation (TAES) on postoperative heart rate variability and high-sensitive cardiac troponin T of elderly patients with coronary heart disease.
The Ischemia-IMT (Ischemia-Intensive Medical Treatment Reduces Events in Women with Non-Obstructive CAD), subtitle: Women's Ischemia Trial to Reduce Events in Non-Obstructive CAD (WARRIOR) trial is a multicenter, prospective, randomized, blinded outcome evaluation (PROBE design) evaluating intensive statin/ACE-I (or ARB)/aspirin treatment (IMT) vs. usual care (UC) in 4,422 symptomatic women patients with symptoms and/or signs of ischemia but no obstructive CAD. The hypothesis is that IMT will reduce major adverse coronary events (MACE) 20% vs. UC. The primary outcome is first occurrence of MACE as death, nonfatal MI, nonfatal stroke/transient ischemic attack (TIA) or hospitalization for heart failure or angina. Secondary outcomes include quality of life, time to "return to duty"/work, health resource consumption, angina, cardiovascular (CV) death and primary outcome components. Events will be adjudicated by an experienced Clinical Events Committee (CEC). Follow-up will be 3-years using 50 sites: primarily VA and Active Duty Military Hospitals/Clinics and a National Patient-Centered Clinical Research Network (PCORnet) clinical data research network (CDRN)(OneFlorida Consortium). This study is being conducted to determine whether intensive medication treatment to modify risk factors and vascular function in women patients with coronary arteries showing no flow limit obstruction but with cardiac symptoms (i.e., chest pain, shortness of breath) will reduce the patient's likelihood of dying, having a heart attack, stroke/TIA or being hospitalized for cardiac reasons. The results will provide evidence data necessary to inform future guidelines regarding how best to treat this growing population of patients, and ultimately improve the patient's cardiac health and quality of life and reduce health-care costs.
An investigator-driven, retrospective study to compare long-term survival-data (10-year follow-up) of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD), previously enrolled in the SYNTAX trial, who were randomized to percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) using a paclitaxel (TAXUS) drug-eluting-stent (DES) or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).
Assessment of Change in AtheROSclerotic Plaque by Serial CCTA (ACROSS) is designed as a prospective observational study which aim is to demonstrate the effect of statins on coronary atherosclerosis, assessed by quantitative analysis of CCTA.
The safety and efficacy of percutaneous coronary revascularization has been progressively increasing since its inception, and the problem of restenosis has been minimized. The efficacy and safety data of the Magmaris stent are quite high, in selected cases. The objective is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the bioabsorbable stent MAGMARIS in the percutaneous treatment of severe coronary disease (in vessels between 2.7mm and 3.75 mm) in routine clinical practice in poorly selected populations.
Recently, researchers have paid attention to the development of new products such as supplements food and nutraceuticals for identify and develop integrative therapies to be used in cardiovascular disease. As suggested by literature, some nutritional components (creatine, ribose) can enhance the fundamental energy levels for the functioning of the heart muscle and can enhance the body's antioxidant capacity through the reduction in free radicals activity, one of the main pathogenic mechanisms of these diseases. In this context, the investigators have developed a research with the principal purpose to establish whether a supplement of creatine and ribose can improve the total work capacity during exercise in a population of patients with known ischemic heart disease.
