Filter by:The purpose of this research is to see if Heart Health Yoga (HHY) Program when added on to standard cardiac rehabilitation (CR) will improve overall wellbeing and quality of life for patients experiencing ischemic heart disease, heart problems caused by narrowed heart arteries.
In a prospective multi-center observational study, 200 HIV-infected patients treated with antiretroviral treatment (ART) and who suffered from coronary artery disease (CAD) will be enrolled. Blood samples for biological parameters will be collected with all participants: lipid profile and markers of systemic inflammation specific for HIV-infection (lipopolysaccharide-binding protein; cytokines: IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, TNF -α, INF-γ, INF-α; procalcitonin; inflammatory hsCRP). All of them will undergo functional testing (Echo, CMR both at rest and stress if necessary) and invasive imaging with QCA, FFR, QFR, OCT, IVUS, VH-IVUS, NIRS. Patients will be treated according to the current and previous recommendations. Both medical treatment and percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) with or without stenting will be done. Collected data will be analyzed: correlation between ART, blood test results, coronary angiography results, including performed PTCA, history of myocardial infarctions, and other cardiovascular events. The follow-up period will achieve 12 months prospectively with collected clinical events and imaging outcomes which will be determined at the baseline and 12-month follow-up. The independent ethics expertise will be provided by the Central Clinical Hospital of the Russian Academy of Sciences (Moscow, Russia). The monitoring of the clinical data with imaging will be provided by The Ethics Board of Central Clinical Hospital of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety and efficacy of drug-coated balloon angioplasty for the treatment of chronic total occlusions patients with chronic total occlusion (CTO) lesion.
Early-Synergy investigates a diagnostic imaging approach in asymptomatic individuals from the general population for early detection of silent myocardial ischemia and cardiac dysfunction. The diagnostic imaging approach consists of cardiac computed tomography for coronary artery calcium scoring (CT-CAC) and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) stress perfusion imaging. Early-Synergy investigates the effect of early detection of silent myocardial ischemia and cardiac dysfunction by CMR in asymptomatic individuals with increased CAC. In addition, the diagnostic yield of CMR for early detection of silent myocardial ischemia and cardiac dysfunction is investigated. Asymptomatic individuals at increased risk (CAC ≥ 300) are therefore randomized 1:1 to either CMR stress perfusion imaging or a control group.
The ICRR is a health services registry to establish the quality of CR delivery, and the effectiveness in terms of patient outcomes, in low-resource settings. The purposes of the registry are care optimization, evidentiary support for CR advocacy / policy, and research. All programs in low-resource settings will be welcome to participate at no cost. Programs will follow procedures approved by their local ethics board for collection of program and patient-reported variables. Assessments occur pre-cardiac rehabilitation (CR), post-CR and annually thereafter.
A FIH study to collect preliminary device safety, feasibility and performance data of the XABG in patients with symptomatic coronary artery disease (SCAD), with suitable multi vessel disease (MVD) and selected by the local Heart Team for elective coronary artery bypass grafts surgery of at least 3 bypass grafts (minimally 1 artery and 2 veins or 2 arteries and 1 vein).
Multi-center, prospective, randomized controlled study comparing PCI guided by angiography versus iFR Co-Registration using commercially available Philips pressure guidewires and the SyncVision co-registration system, employing an adaptive design study for interim sample size re-estimation.
The overall objective of CONFIRM2 is to perform the largest cardiovascular phenotype outcomes study ever.
Introduction: Stress can cause hemodynamic and metabolic changes that contribute to endothelial dysfunction and there is a significant association between high stress and cardiovascular events. Objective: To evaluate the influence of stress management on endothelial function in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods: Randomized, controlled, parallel, intention-to-treat clinical trial. Will be considered eligible patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention and who have high stress (above average for the Brazilian population) in the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10). Patients will be evaluated on PCI admission and stress management with cognitive behavioral techniques will be implemented one month after hospital discharge in the intervention group. Group sessions will be held between 6-9 people. There will be 4 1-hour meetings for 8 weeks. The primary outcome will be the difference in the variation of brachial artery flow-mediated dilatation (FMD) between the groups and at 3 months of baseline evaluation and at 6-month follow-up after the intervention and the secondary outcome will be the difference in the variation of the velocity of brachial artery. Pulse wave evaluated at the same time periods as DMF. Outcomes will be evaluated by Generalized Estimation Equations (GEE). Expected Results: In patients undergoing high-stress percutaneous coronary intervention, the use of cognitive behavioral techniques for stress management will improve endothelial function and vascular stiffness.
The coronary images of invasive angiography and optical coherence tomography (or Coronary CT angiography) with FFR(Fractional Flow Reserve) values of the intermediate lesions (50-70% stenosis) will be prospectively registered.
