Filter by:The high rate of cardiovascular complications in the dialysis population cannot be explained by traditional cardiovascular risk factors. One of such factors proposed to contribute to the cardiovascular mortality in dialysis patient population is vascular calcification possibly resulting from disturbances of calcium-phosphate metabolism. The aim of this study is to assess the effects of treatment with dialysate containing 1.75 or 1.5 mmol/L to 1.25 mmol/L calcium regarding coronary artery calcification and bone histomorphometry in hemodialysis patients.
The purpose of this study is to determine if the hemodialysis procedure changes the risk for cardiac arrest in patients.
Primary Objective - The main objective of this study is to assess if a two-month regimen of irbesartan in patients hospitalized for acute coronary syndrome without ST segment elevation can reduce inflammation markers (ie hsCRP), in comparison to a similar regimen of enalapril. Secondary Objectives - To compare both regimens on several other biological parameters which have demonstrated their relevance and their predictive clinical value (ie BNP, microalbuminuria, troponin I …) in this patient population. - To compare on the above parameters the early initiation of treatment versus the initiation of treatment at hospital discharge.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of Omacor 4g/day on blood lipid parameters and on the function and stiffness of blood vessels in HIV infected patients on Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART)
The purpose of the study is to determine if calcium score can be used as a predictor of coronary artery disease in heart transplanted patients, as it is used in non-transplanted persons.
In patients with hypertension who undergo elective PCI, the effects of long-term administration of Calblock (azelnidipine) on plaque volume will be determined quantitatively by 3D-IVUS and compared with those of amlodipine besilate (Norvasc or Amlodin).
Several studies including ours have reported that celecoxib improves endothelium-dependent vasodilation and reduces inflammation and neointimal hyperplasia. Our hypothesis is that celecoxib may reduce the late luminal loss after coronary stent implantation (paclitaxel-eluting stent.
The ultimate goal of a paclitaxel eluting stent system (TAXUS stent) is to prevent restenosis by blunting the initial response to stent implant injury and sustaining the arrested response until vascular healing has taken place. The purpose of the TAXUS IV-SR trial is to study the safety and efficacy of the TAXUS Stent under controlled trial circumstances used in the treatment of new coronary artery lesions (heart blockages) This clinical investigation will evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the TAXUS Stent with 1 ug/mm2 (loaded drug/stent surface area) of paclitaxel incorporated into a slow rate-release formulation of a triblock copolymer carrier system for treatment of new coronary artery lesions.
This is a study of crush- or culotte stenting of bifurcation lesions using drug eluting stents. This is a randomized Nordic multicenter study including 400 patients with angina pectoris with clinical angiographic follow-up.
Study of SB-681323 (a novel p38 MAPkinase inhibitor) in subjects with documented coronary heart disease (CHD) undergoing elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
