Filter by:This study is designed to validate the hypothesis that the treatment of rosuvastatin could increase the score of Calcification of Coronary artery(CAC) density in coronary artery disease(CAD) patients with diabetes mellitus.CAD patients with diabetes who confirmed CAC will receive rosuvastatin (20mg/d) therapy for 24 months.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether scaling and root planing as a periodontal intervention helps in improving the overall health of patients suffering from coronary heart disease.
The purpose of this trial is to assess the safety and efficacy of the Resolute Onyx Zotarolimus-Eluting Coronary Stent System for the treatment of de novo lesions in native coronary arteries that allows the use of a 2.0 mm diameter stent.
According to 2011 ACCF/AHA guideline and 2014 ESC/EACTS guideline, CABG surgery was recommended for three-vessel coronary artery disease and left main coronary artery disease in the patients with stable ischemic heart disease as class I. 2-VD with proximal left anterior descending artery stenosis was also indicated for CABG surgery as class I recommendation. However, many patients have been recommended for PCI by catheterization laboratory cardiologist; 46% and 93% in the only-CABG candidates and both CABG and PCI candidates, retrospectively, defined by previous ACC/AHA guideline. Although the discordance between real practice in catheterization laboratory and guideline would be adjusted by recently updated guideline. The revascularization strategy for patients with 3-VD/LMD in real practice have been getting toward more PCI and less CABG surgery. In this study, we will identify the rate of CABG candidates who were treated with PCI or medical treatment instead of CABG surgery in different from current guideline. We are also going to compare two treatment strategies CABG surgery vs. PCI with 2nd generation DES regarding clinical outcomes.
In acute coronary artery disease, pre-clinical studies have indicated that, during a continuous infusion of intravenous perfluorocarbon containing microbubbles, the ultrasonic power delivered from a diagnostic ultrasound transducer is capable of restoring microcirculatory flow and improving epicardial recanalization rates obtained by conventional therapy, a process known by Sonothrombolysis. The investigators proposed to examine the feasibility, safety and efficacy of such an ultrasound guided approach in 100 patients with ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).
The purpose of this study is to examine weather treatment with anthocyanins will affect lipid profile, markers of inflammation and oxidative stress in addition to antioxidative level in serum to the better in persons with increased risk of dementia. The purpose of this study is to examine weather treatment with anthocyanins will increase the score of relevant tests of cognitive function. The investigators will do an open pilot study where patients receive anthocyanin for 16 weeks. 34 patients are expected to be included. In addition we will include 20 healthy Controls.
This study evaluates the myocardial protection against perioperative ischemia comparing two standard anesthetic regimes in diabetic patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery. Half of the patients will receive volatile anesthesia while the other half will receive total intravenous anesthesia. Primary and secondary outcome parameters will be assessed after induction of anesthesia, at the end of the procedure and postoperative day 1 to 3.
Myocardial fibrosis is the fundamental substrate for the development of heart failure. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) allows non-invasive assessment of myocardial fibrosis based on late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) and T1 mapping. Patients: Prospective longitudinal observational multicenter study of consecutive patients with suspected or known non-ischemic cardiomyopathy. Imaging: Non-invasive measures of myocardial fibrosis: native T1, extracellular volume fraction (ECV) and LGE. Primary endpoints: all cause and cardiovascular mortality. Secondary endpoints: arrhythmic composite and HF composite endpoints.
This is a multi centre, prospective trial. 250 patients will be enrolled in the study.(10 patients per centre involving approximately 25 centres). Patients will be followed up clinically for twelve months post-procedure at 1 month, 6 months & 12 months. All patients will have a repeat angiography at 8 months. Clinical follow-up will be maintained for years 3 & 5 post-implant.
This is a retrospective study, designed to be conducted at a single-center in the US. The study will conduct a one-time data abstraction from approximately 500 patient medical charts who received Age/Sex/Gene Expression score (ASGES) also knows as Corus CAD testing, by order of the Principal Investigator. Limited demographic data and patient data pertaining to cardiology referral or advanced diagnostic testing will be collected. All data will be collected anonymously.
