Filter by:Statin interference has been suggested among the mechanisms of reduction of the antiplatelet effect of clopidogrel. The purpose of this study is to evaluate pharmacodynamic effects of rosuvastatin and atorvastatin on platelet reactivity in patients with coronary artery disease undergone double antiplatelet therapy with new P2Y12 inhibitors. This is a single-center, prospective, randomized, crossover study conducted in the Department of Heart and Great Vessels "Attilio Reale", Sapienza University, Rome, Italy. All consecutive patients undergone PTCA in our institution in the period between July 2013 and December 2013 will be eligible to be enrolled. Patients will be offered to participate to the trial at time of 1-month post-angioplasty follow-up visit.patients receiving dual antiplatelet therapy (prasugrel 10 mg or brilique 90 mg x 2 plus aspirin 100 mg) after percutaneous coronary intervention. Patients were randomly assigned to rosuvastatin (20 mg day) or atorvastatin (40 mg day) for 30 days. After 1-week wash-out period to avoid any carryover effect, cross-over was performed, and patients were switched to the other drug which was continued for 30 days. Platelet function will be evaluated using a validated method: the VerifyNow System (Accumetrics Inc., San Diego, CA), which is a point-of-care turbidimetry-based optical detection system that measures platelet-induced aggregation. Platelet function will be measured with the VerifyNow P2Y12 test at baseline and after 30 days from rosuvastatin or atorvastatin administration. Platelet reactivity will be expressed in P2Y12 reaction units (PRU). PRU values >208 are suggestive of high platelet reactivity.
This registry is a clinical evaluation of the Orsiro LESS in subjects requiring coronary revascularization with Drug Eluting Stents (DES). It is designed to investigate and collect clinical evidence for the clinical performance and safety of the Orsiro Drug Eluting Stent System in an all-comers patient population in daily clinical practice.
Clinical evaluation of the Orsiro LESS in subjects requiring coronary revascularization with Drug Eluting Stents (DES). 500 subjects will be enrolled in this registry. The sample size maybe increased in order to reach the subgroup sizes (Diabetes, small vessel, AMI and CTO).
Clopidogrel and Prasugrel are pro-drug necessitating conversion in active metabolites through CYP 450 system (CYP), particularly CYP3A and CYP2C19 isoforms. These drugs are platelet purinergic receptor antagonists, known as P2Y12. The link between active metabolite of Clopidogrel and Prasugrel to P2Y12 receptor prevents ADP receptor activation and inhibits several events leading to conformational change of platelets, therefore facilitating their activation and aggregation, that is the basis of acute coronary syndromes. Proton pump inhibitors (PPI) are actually considered principal agents reducing gastroenteric bleeding risk associated to antiplatelet therapy. Nevertheless the interaction between PPI and antiplatelet therapy has been object of interest. Several studies demonstrated PPI reduce efficacy of clopidogrel on platelet reactivity. Only few data about Prasugrel are available showing a minor effect of PPI on its antiplatelet activity than clopidogrel. Differing from prasugrel and clopidogrel, ticagrelor is a direct inhibitor of P2Y12, not necessitating biotransformation in the liver; therefore its interaction with PPI remains unclear. Interaction between omeprazole and clopidogrel seems related to high inhibitory activity of PPI on CYP2C19, interfering with the conversion of clopidogrel in its active metabolite.
The study aims to further assess the safety, efficacy and the performance of its delivery system of the new generation Sirolimus-eluting stent of JWMS up to five years.
All consecutive patients undergone PTCA in the period between July 2013 and December 2013 are eligible to be enrolled. Study population are divided in : Group 1: smokers on dual antiplatelet therapy with ASA (100 mg once a day) and Prasugrel (10 mg die); Group 2: smokers on dual antiplatelet therapy with ASA(100 mg once a day) and Ticagrelor (90 mg twice a day); Control group: smokers on dual antiplatelet therapy with ASA(100 mg once a day) and Clopidogrel (75 mg once a day). Platelet function is evaluated using a validated method: the VerifyNow System (Accumetrics Inc., San Diego, CA), which is a point-of-care turbidimetry-based optical detection system that measures platelet-induced aggregation. These value are measured Platelet function, measured with the VerifyNow P2Y12. All patients on chronic dual antiplatelet therapy (>1 month) quit smoking for a 2 weeks period. Therefore PRU values are obtained at baseline (at the enrollment time) and after 2 weeks after smoking cessation. Platelet reactivity are expressed in P2Y12 reaction units (PRU). PRU values >240 are suggestive of high platelet reactivity. Primary outcomes: P2Y12 reaction units (PRU) at baseline and two weeks after quitting smoking.
This is an observational registry, sponsored by Saint Luke's Hospital. This study is to be conducted according to DHHS Guidelines, applicable state regulations, and local IRB policies and procedures. The overall objective is to address current gaps in knowledge regarding CTO-PCI, as a prospective, multi-center, single-arm study of 1,000 participants.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of exercise for patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) aged 80 years and older, with special reference to maximum aerobic capacity, muscle endurance, physical functioning, level of physical activity, health related quality of life, anxiety, depression and endothelial function, compared to a control group.
Antiplatelet therapy is indispensable for the prevention of stent thrombosis in patients who underwent coronary artery stenting. Similarly, anticoagulant therapy is essential for the prevention of cardiogenic embolism including cerebral infarction in AF patients. However, the combined antithrombotic therapy has been reported to increase the risk of major bleeding for AF patients after coronary stenting, New anticoagulant drugs that hardly interact with other drugs and do not need frequent blood tests have become commonly used. The purpose of this study is to assess the hypothesis that Rivaroxaban is non-inferior to Warfarin in the efficacy and safety for AF patients after coronary stenting
The aim of the study is to prove that early discharge (within 72 hours) in selected group of patients after myocardial infarction with elevations of ST-segment is feasible and safe
