Filter by:The objective of the study is to verify the safety and efficacy of the MDT-4107 Drug-Eluting Coronary Stent for the treatment of de novo lesions in native coronary arteries.
Early Identification of Subclinical Atherosclerosis by Noninvasive Imaging Research (EISNER) is a multi-study research program being conducted at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. The principal objective of this randomized trial (referred to as "Study 1") is to assess whether coronary artery calcium (CAC) scanning provides clinical benefit thus improving patient outcomes in asymptomatic subjects with intermediate coronary artery disease (CAD) risk. Additionally, the study is designed to assess the value of combining the CAC scan with the Framingham risk score (FRS) and measurements of serum or plasma biomarkers to predict outcomes.
The objective of the proposed study, using an experimental, two-group (n = 30 couples in each group) repeated measures design, was to pilot test the effects of the PaTH Intervention versus a usual care group in improving the following outcomes: a) physical activity and healthy eating behaviors, and b) functional capacity. The primary outcomes will be physical activity behavior (minutes per week) and eating behavior (percent saturated fat) at the 6 month time point in both the coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) patient and his/her partner. Secondary outcome includes functional capacity in patients and partners at 6 months.
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is an important health concern for African Americans, who are diagnosed with CAD at high rates. Coronary artery calcification, which is characterized by calcium deposits in the coronary arteries, is a contributing factor to CAD. This study will examine the possible genetic causes of coronary artery calcification in African Americans.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ONO-1101 in patients scheduled for multi-slice CT, in a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel group, multi-center study.
It is becoming increasingly clear that North Americans prefer dietary approaches to enhance health in favour of pharmaceutical approaches. Although the consumption of various phytosterol (PS)-enriched foods have been shown to be effective in lowering plasma cholesterol in a variety of food matrices, the lipid-lowering potential of PS-enriched soymilk has not been investigated. Therefore, the objective of this investigation was to examine the lipid-lowering efficacy of a PS-enriched soymilk beverage in comparison to a 1% dairy milk control. Twenty-three hypercholesterolemic subjects (Total-cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol ≥ 5.0 and 3.5 mmol/L, respectively) consumed 3 tetrapacs per day of a phytosterol-enriched soy beverage providing 1.95g PS/d or a 1% dairy milk control. The study was conducted as a 28 d controlled dietary intervention according to a completely randomized, two-period cross-over design.
This study will investigate whether the lacto-tripeptide Ile-Pro-Pro (IPP) improves the function of the endothelium in patients with coronary artery disease. The study has a crossover design. Participants will be treated with a protein hydrolysate rich in IPP for 12 weeks and placebo for 12 weeks with a four-week rest period between treatment periods. The investigators will use ultrasound to test the function of the endothelium in the brachial artery before, after 6 weeks, and after 12 weeks of each treatment. Blood will be collected before and after each treatment. The investigators hypothesize that IPP will improve endothelial function.
the objective of the Israeli MGurad Registry is to evaluate the 'Real World' Clinical Performance of the InspireMD MGuard Coronary Stent System
The investigators' rationale was to evaluate whether a 64-slice CT scanner allows accurate measurement of computed tomographic changes in coronary artery flow profiles and whether CT flow measurements are suitable for classifying the significance and hemodynamic relevance of a stenosis and thereby supplement as a functional parameter for morphological stenosis analysis.
The COMPETE study is a prospective,randomized,two-arm multi-center clinical trial comparing two commercially available coronary stents: Chrono Carbostent Carbofilm™ Coated vs Driver/Micro-Driver Coronary Stent System. In this study, 204 subjects will be included (2:1 randomization Chrono:Driver/Micro Driver) in 6 Italian sites.
