Filter by:OBJECTIVES: To investigate the incidence of cardiovascular events as well as progression of coronary artery calcium (CAC) in healthy middle-aged subjects over a period of 7 years, and the relation to traditional as well as new cardiovascular risk factors. METHODS: The Danrisk cohort was established in 2009-2010 based on random retrieval from the Danish national civil registry (N=1825). Initially, distribution of gender, area of residence and year of birth (1949 or 1959) were equal among the 4 involved centres (OUH, Svendborg, Vejle and Esbjerg). A total of 1257 subjects (69%) accepted the invitation to undergo cardiovascular risk evaluation including non-contrast enhanced cardiac CT-scan for CAC estimation, and a total of 1227 subjects were found free of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and diabetes (DM), and was included in the study back then. In 2014-2015 the DanRisk cohort was invited to a 5 year follow-up examination. The investigators examined a total of 1031 subjects (82%) in the investigators 4 regional centres. The follow-up examination included general health evaluation and estimation of CAC by non-contrast enhanced cardiac CT-scan. Information of death, cardiovascular events and medication usage was obtained from the Danish national patient register, the Danish register of causes of death and the Danish national database of reimbursed prescriptions in 2016.
Postmarket surveillance in terms of the safety and efficacy of Sirolimus-eluting Coroflex ISAR Stent for the treatment of "real world" patients with de-novo and restenotic lesions after stand-alone angioplasty in coronary arteries.
Modern high-end CT scanners with faster scan acquisition times now allow for routine assessment of cardiac pathologies, which could result in numerous incidental cardiac findings on standard thoracic CT angiography (CTA) scans. The CaPaCT-study aims to assesses the presence, management and possible clinical impact of incidental cardiac pathologies which are becoming visible on standard thoracic CT scans performed on new high-end scanners.
The purpose of this study is to determine if extra systoles can be used to predict fluid responsiveness perioperatively in patients undergoing on pump coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. As an additional study we will investigate the ability of a mini fluid challenge to predict response of a larger volume of fluid.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and performance of a new version of a coronary artery stent for treating blockages in the arteries supplying blood to the heart muscle. The Amaranth Medical MAGNITUDE scaffold releases a drug (sirolimus) to reduce the likelihood of the treated blood vessel developing a new blockage. In addition, the scaffold dissolves away over time, leaving no permanent implant after the blood vessel has healed.
HIV-infected patients with intermediate-high risk have a high prevalence of CAD and a substantial proportion of obstructive CAD. Degree of stenosis is associated with immunoactivation (lymphocyte and monocyte) and microbial translocation
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of an extended behavioral intervention in exercise-based CR for improvement of physical capacity, adherence, psychological and physiological parameters, compared with usual care.
The purpose of the study is to investigate the protective effects of short term TR Band compression on transradial coronary occlusion after transradial coronary intervention.
Previous studies reported 20-30% of under-expansion or malapposition with BVS, which would increase the risk of adverse events including late stent thrombosis. OCT-guidance may improve more optimized scaffold placement and also better outcomes. However, there is still no sufficient evidence that OCT has an inevitable role in optimal implantation of BVS and it should be more evaluated in real practice. In the study, the investigators will evaluate an incidence of OCT-defined BVS sub-optimization requiring additional PCI+A1.
This prospective multicenter registry evaluates the efficacy of hybrid coronary revascularization (HCR) combining coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in the treatment of multivessel coronary artery disease. CABG is to be performed in the left anterior descending artery and the left circumflex artery using only arterial grafts, whereas PCI is to be conducted for the treatment of significant stenotic disease in the right coronary artery with everolimus-eluting stents (EESs). This research plans to involve patients scheduled for coronary revascularization for multivessel coronary artery disease who consent to participate in the registry.
