Filter by:A randomised controlled trial to compare two strategies for the investigation of coronary artery disease at the time of angiography. Patients will be randomised to conventional angiography or additional, routine pressure wire assessment - measuring fractional flow reserve (FFR) - in all main vessels judged as being of sufficient vessel calibre to allow percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) (experimental arm).
The FUTURE-II study is a confirmative clinical trial for Sirolimus Target Eluting Bioresorbable Vascular Scaffold (Firesorb) after the feasibility and safety of the device has been preliminary confirmed in a small-scale First-in-Man clinical trial.
The multicenter observational CLIMA registry has been conceived to explore correlation between OCT morphology of atherosclerotic plaques located in the left anterior descending artery with mid and long term clinical outcome.
The aims of this study are 1) to identify IVUS determinants of the CAMS-derived myocardial territories subtended to the diseased vessels, 2) to find IVUS determinant for the extent of CAMS-derived myocardial size, and 3) to develop the mathematical model that integrates the IVUS information about myocardial territory and stenosis severity and predicts the extent of CAMS-derived myocardial size.
The registry will investigate the clinical performance and long-term safety of Magmaris in a real world setting
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a very common cause of heart failure affecting millions of people worldwide, which is caused by build-up of plaque inside arteries of the heart. Build-up of plaque eventually impacts the blood supply to the heart. In medicine, techniques (invasive or non-invasive) such as coronary angiography, intravascular ultrasound, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, positron emission tomography and transthoracic echocardiography can be used to diagnose CAD. The investigators aim to study Coronary Artery Disease significance with the combination of computed tomography angiography (CTA), and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methods. CTA is a non-invasive technique to visualize arterial vessels, which uses computer-processed x-rays. Computational Fluid Dynamics employs digital computers and numerical methods to solve complex flow patterns inside arterial vessels. Combining these two methods, the investigators are able to provide detailed blood flow information and mechanical stress distributions on the vessels. This study therefore, aims to propose a non-invasive methodology to assess the significance of CAD.
To describe the natural history of the coronary atherosclerotic plaque development and progression over time by CCTA with demographic and laboratory data for refinement of risk stratification of patients referred for CCTA.
This study will evaluate a complex intervention based on a patient management tool (PMT), combined with educational outreach to primary care doctors, nurses and other health workers, in the Brazilian city of Florianopolis. The intervention is aimed at improving the quality of primary health care and health outcomes, in adults with diabetes and cardiovascular disease (CVD). The effectiveness of the intervention will be assessed by randomly allocating 48 primary care clinics to receive the intervention or not, and comparing patient and clinic level endpoints that reflect the health and quality of care provided over the following year. About 11000 patients known to have been diagnosed with diabetes mellitus and 32000 with CVD (defined as having a diagnosis of hypertension, ischemic heart disease, heart failure or cerebrovascular disease) in participating clinics will be included in the study. About 7800 of them have diagnoses of both CVD and stroke. The primary endpoints will be 1. Number of participants in whom at least one of the following tests was recorded: body mass index, plasma glucose, serum cholesterol, electrocardiogram, and 2. in participants with a diagnosis of hypertension recorded previously, average systolic blood pressure recorded. Secondary endpoints will include the individual components of the composite scores, health measures (hospital admissions and deaths), and indicators of appropriate diagnosis of comorbid conditions such as depression. Eligible patients will be identified and outcomes measured using electronic medical records.
The goal of this study is to determine if a remote cardiac or pulmonary rehabilitation program delivered via a smartphone application and regular telephone calls will lead to improved delivery of cardiac rehabilitation compared to usual care. This includes increased adherence for eligible veterans, increased program completion, improved patient outcomes as measured by functional capacity, improved patient compliance in monitoring symptoms, improved self-efficacy and knowledge in managing disease and, a decreased rate of hospitalization and re-admissions.
This is a multi-center, investigator initiated study that will prospectively and retrospectively examine treatment strategies and outcomes of patients who underwent percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI). The goal of this multi-center, investigator initiated, registry is to collect information on treatment strategies and outcomes of consecutive patients undergoing laser-assisted PCI among various participating centers. The study is a purely observational, chart review study and involves retrieval and compiling of data based on clinically indicated procedures and follow-up clinical and procedural outcomes. The information collected will be used to determine the frequency of laser-assisted PCI performed at the participating sites and examine the procedural strategies utilized, and the procedural (both immediate and subsequent) outcomes.
