Filter by:Participants being evaluated for suspected or known Coronary artery Disease (CAD) based on signs and/or symptoms, will be invited to participate in the study. The duration for a participant in the study may range from 2 days to 4-6 weeks. One to four visits to the study doctor will be required. This study will investigate the diagnostic results of gadobutrol-enhanced Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging (CMRI) images regarding the detection (sensitivity) and exclusion (specificity) of coronary artery disease utilizing a uniform image acquisition software. The CMR images will be tested either against the results from routine clinical Coronary Angiography (CA) or those from Computed Tomography Angiography (CTA), which is used as the standard of reference. The CA/CTA may have been performed up to 4 weeks prior to enrollment or be scheduled up to 4/6 weeks after the study. CMRI and CA/CTA images will be collected for an independent image review (blinded read).
The optimal treatment of calcified coronary lesion remained to be elucidated. A Prospective, randomized controlled trial was perform to explore the immediate effect and long-term outcome of rotational atherectomy in patients with balloon resistant coronary lesion.
It has been well known that moderate and regular levels of physical activity has a favorable effect on many of the established risk factors related to coronary artery disease (CAD). Given that exercise in the morning has a greater potential for inducing sudden cardiac death and myocardial ischemia, it may be sensible for patients with CAD not to take exercise at this time. Our previous study indicated that the protective effect of exercise in the evening was greater than morning. However, which times of day to exercise could achieve the greatest improvements in lipids and inflammatory markers remains unclear. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the responses of lipid profiles and inflammatory markers to walking at different times of day in sedentary patients with CAD.
The purpose of this study is to examine whether the use of genetic test information and/or health coaching in patient risk counseling for heart disease and diabetes affect health behaviors and health outcomes in active-duty Air Force (ADAF), beneficiaries or dependents and Air Force retiree patients. Total of 400 subjects will be enrolled. They will be randomly(like flipping a coin)assigned to 4 groups: 1)Standard risk assessment (SRA)only; 2)SRA plus genetic risk information (SRA+G); 3)SRA plus health coaching (SRA+HC); or 4)SRA, genetic risk information, and health coaching (SRA+G+HC). Subjects randomized to the two genetic arms will have blood collected for testing of investigational coronary heart disease (CHD) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) risk markers. Participants in the two groups that include health coaching will be assigned to a trained certified health coach for a period of 6 months. The duration of the study is 12 months with 3 in person visits (baseline, 6 months and 12 months) and completion of surveys at 6 weeks and 3 month time points.
This study will examine whether a twelve-week intervention with one ounce (28 g) per day of walnuts improves endothelial function measured non-invasively using finger probe (EndoPat-2000) in people with coronary heart disease or type 2 diabetes.
Patients who recently suffered a heart attack will use a smart-phone/computer application during cardiac rehabilitation to reduce their risk of a future attack, their re-hospitalizations, their cost of care, and increase their quality of life.
The objective of this trial is to compare the clinical outcomes and cost-effectiveness of 2 therapeutic strategies, one based on coronary angiography guidance and the other based on coronary angiography with fractional flow reserve (FFR) in multivessel coronary artery disease patients. The trial is a prospective, multicenter, French, randomized clinical trial including men and women ≥ 18 years presenting with significant multivessel disease defined by coronary angiography as coronary narrowing > 50% diameter stenosis in at least 2 major epicardic vessels. The patients who give their informed consent will be randomly assigned to a therapeutic strategy based upon coronary angiography or angiography with FFR testing. In the FFR group, a significant coronary stenosis will be defined by a FFR ≤ 0.8. Based upon this multivessel evaluation (angiography or FFR), the investigator will choose the best therapeutic strategy to his discretion (medical optimal treatment, coronary stenting, coronary artery bypass graft surgery). The aim of revascularization procedures will be to obtain complete revascularization. In the FFR group, only stenosis with FFR≤0.8 will be treated. The primary end point of the trial is a composite of major cardiovascular events including death from any cause, myocardial infarction, any hospitalization for coronary revascularization performed in addition to initial treatment and stroke at 1 year of follow-up. Secondary end points will include adverse events, individual major cardiovascular events, stent thrombosis, bleeding events, occlusion of coronary artery bypass graft, patient's quality of life and cost-effectiveness and 30-day, 6 month, 2-year and 5-year outcomes.

For the majority of Coronary Artery Disease (CAD), treatment with Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty (PTCA) provides high initial procedural success. However, the medium to long-term complications range from rather immediate elastic recoil or vessel contraction to longer processes like smooth muscle cell proliferation and excessive production of extra cellular matrix, thrombus formation and atherosclerotic changes like restenosis or angiographic re-narrowing. The reported incidence of restenosis after PTCA ranges from 30%-50%. Such rates of recurrence have serious economic consequences. Bare Metal Stents (BMS), designed to address the limitations of PTCA, reduced the angiographic and clinical restenosis rates in de novo lesions compared to PTCA alone and decreased the need for CABG. BMS substantially reduced the incidence of abrupt artery closure, but restenosis still occurred in about 20%-40% of cases, necessitating repeat procedures. The invention of Drug Eluting Stents (DES) significantly improved on the principle of BMS by adding an antiproliferative drug (directly immobilized on the stent surface or released from a polymer matrix), which inhibits neointimal hyperplasia. The introduction of DES greatly reduced the incidence of restenosis and resulted in a better safety profile as compared to BMS with systemic drug administration. These advantages and a lower cost compared to surgical interventions has made DES an attractive option to treat coronary artery disease. This observational registry 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.
The aim of the Danish Organization for Randomized Trials with Clinical Outcome (SORT OUT) is to compare the safety and efficacy of the sirolimus eluting ORSIRO stent and the biolimus-eluting NOBORI stent in a population-based setting, using registry detection of clinically driven events
