Filter by:The investigators want to compare blood microbiota profile between patients with documented coronary lesions and patients free of coronary disease.
This is a validation study comparing a pulse wave based algorithm for the detection of coronary artery disease with parameters from coronary angiography, echocardiography and cardiogoniometry.
Ticagrelor is associated with more prompt and potent antiplatelet effects compared with clopidogrel, leading to better clinical outcomes, including reduced cardiovascular mortality, across the spectrum of patients with acute coronary syndrome, including those with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). However, in this latter setting a delay in the onset of its antiplatelet effects has been shown. Morphine has been identified as a cause of delayed P2Y12 inhibition in patients with STEMI. Methylnaltrexone is a parenteral peripheral opioid receptor antagonist which has the potential to prevent or reverse opioid-induced peripherally mediated side effects without affecting analgesia. However, whether the use of intravenous methylnaltrexone may overcome the effects of morphine administration on the pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) profiles of ticagrelor has not been investigated yet. The proposed investigation will include patients with coronary artery disease and will have a prospective, randomized, cross-over design.
The purpose of this study is to advance research through collaboration, 4C was established in the United Kingdom (UK) in 2009 as a resource in which deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and biomarker samples were obtained at time of presentation with chest pain linked to detailed phenotypic data obtained from electronic health records and participant self-completed questionnaires. The investigators sought to explore and assess the current potential of setting up a comparable consented research platform by collecting DNA samples and to quantify the extent to which diverse NHS hospital information systems are accessible for extracting secondary care data (structured and unstructured) for research purposes at scale.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the efficacy of MagicTouch DCB in reducing late lumen loss / suppressing neointimal tissue formation as assessed by Quantitative Coronary Angiography / Intravascular Ultrasound examination for the treatment of coronary artery lesions ranging from 3.0 mm to 3.5 mm of diameter and lesion length ≤ 15 mm.
The primary hypothesis is that computed tomography (CT) is superior to invasive coronary angiography (ICA) concerning the primary endpoint MACE (MACE = major adverse cardiovascular event; defined as at least one of the following: cardiovascular death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, and nonfatal stroke) after a maximum follow-up of 4 years, in other words, that CT will result in a significantly lower rate of MACE. Secondary outcomes include MICE (MICE = minor cardiovascular events), procedural complications, cost-effectiveness, radiation exposure, cross-over to CT or ICA, gender differences, and health-related quality of life.
The investigators propose to correlate 1) cardiac MRI pericardial adipose volume, 2) the presence of pericardial monocytes and 3) circulating immune biomarkers in persons with and without CHD and HIV infection compared to seronegative controls with known CHD. The investigators aim to test the hypothesis that higher amounts of pericardial fat deposition and increased presence of monocytes within this adipose tissue are associated with underlying coronary artery disease in persons with HIV infection as measured by cardiac MRI.
Biomime stent is a novel sirolimus-eluting stent (SES) (Meril Life Sciences Pvt. Ltd., Gujarat, India) with an ultra-thin stent platform (65 μm) and a biodegradable polymer licensed for the treatment of de novo coronary lesions. However no data regarding the efficacy and safety of this stent in an "all-comers" patient population treated with percutaneus coronary interventions (PCI) have been published so far. In this registry the investigators aimed to collect clinical and angiographic information about an extensive "all-comers" employ of this novel stent.
The purpose of this study is to collect data from real-world use with the Glider Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty (PTCA) Balloon Catheter to support the effectiveness of the Glider PTCA Balloon for crossing into complex coronary lesions.
Currently, cardiac computed tomography angiography (CCTA) is a well-implemented non-invasive diagnostic imaging modality in patients with stable chest pain. Besides conventional CT-reading, CCTA is also capable to identify several morphologic and geometric characteristics of atherosclerotic plaques. Recently, the investigators showed that the use of semi-automated plaque quantification algorithm identified parameters predictive for acute coronary syndrome on top of clinical risk profiling and conventional CT-reading. In addition, several atherotrombosis biomarkers, like high-sensitivity cardiac troponins, are described as related to coronary artery disease and cardiovascular events. Prospective data with sequential analysis of atherosclerotic plaques combined with different atherothrombosis biomarkers are currently lacking, but will provide important clues about the pathophysiology of plaque progression and atherothrombosis.
