Filter by:XIENCE V USA is a prospective, multi-center, multi-cohort post-approval study. The objectives of this study are - To evaluate XIENCE V EECSS continued safety and effectiveness during commercial use in real world settings, and - To support the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) initiative. This initiative is designed to evaluate the composite of all death, myocardial infarction (MI) and stroke (MACCE) and the survival of patients that are free from Academic Research Consortium (ARC) definite or probable stent thrombosis (ST) and that have been treated with drug eluting stents (DES) and extended dual antiplatelet therapy.
1. OBJECTIVES Primary objective to evaluate the difference of the peak oxygen uptake change (VO2 max, mL/kg/min) in amlodipine group against no CCB group at 9 months Secondary objectives To evaluate the change of sublingual nitrate use per day against no CCB group at 1 and 3 months To evaluate the change of biomarkers against no CCB group at 9 months 2. SUBJECTS AND CENTERS 212, stable angina patients with angiographically confirmed significant residual stenosis 10, 3rd-grade, teaching hospitals in Korea
Mechanisms that link metabolic syndrome to atherosclerosis are incompletely understood. As a part of Hämeenlinna Metabolic Syndrome Research Program (HMS) surrogate indicators for atherosclerosis are studied in 120 men with metabolic syndrome, 120 men with coronary heart disease and 80 physically active controls and in different settings.
This is a Scripps pilot study on the effect of high clopidogrel maintenance dosing and its relationship to cytochrome P450 2C19 polymorphism status [STSI/CTSA].
Aspirin is very effective in protecting patients with coronary artery disease against adverse cardiac events, because it is a potent "antiplatelet agent". Some patients may develop a history of hypersensitivity to aspirin and treatment cannot usually be resumed in these patients. We have developed a rapid procedure to induce tolerance in these patients (SILBERMAN et al, Am J CARDIOL 2005;95:509-10) and wish to test whether aspirin is as effective as antiplatelet agent in patients with a history of allergy to aspirin and who undergo desensitization as it is in patients without history of hypersensitivity
The purpose of the study is to determine the drug characteristics of Ticagrelor, and to determine if 4 weeks treatment will reduce the blood clotting.
To validate the use of Corus CAD (Age/Sex/Gene Expression score - ASGES) blood assay in subjects who are referred for the work-up of coronary artery disease. The study will evaluate the clinical utility of a gene expression test Corus CAD (Age, Sex, Gene Expression Score - ASGES) in subjects referred for myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) work-up for suspected obstructive atherosclerotic coronary artery disease (CAD). The Corus CAD (ASGES) is a gene expression test that quantify the expression of multiple genes from circulating peripheral blood cells to detect the presence of clinically significant obstructive CAD in patients with chest pain.
The primary objective of the trial is to compare the acute safety and long term outcomes between hospitals with cardiac surgery on-site (SOS hospitals) and hospitals without cardiac surgery on-site (non-SOS hospitals) for patients with ischemic heart disease treated with elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) (stable angina, acute coronary syndrome, or non-Q wave MI) presenting to non-SOS hospitals.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the AVJ-09-385 Small Vessel Everolimus Eluting Coronary Stent System (EECSS) (2.25 mm diameter stent) in treatment of subjects with ischemic heart disease caused by de novo lesions.
Objectives To explore the impact of a clinical pharmacist-led 12 month lasting follow-up program for patients with established coronary heart disease (CHD) discharged from the North Norway University Hospital. Methods A total of 102 patients aged 18-82 years were enrolled in a non-blinded, randomized controlled trial. The intervention comprised medication reconciliation, medication review and patient education during three meetings; at discharge, after three months and after twelve months. The control group received standard care from their general practitioner. Primary outcomes were adherence to clinical guideline recommendations concerning prescription, therapy goal achievement and lifestyle education defined in the medication assessment tool for secondary prevention of CHD (MAT-CHDSP). Secondary outcomes included changes in the biomedical risk factors cholesterol, blood pressure and blood glucose. Key findings Ninety-four patients completed the trial, 48 intervention group patients and 46 controls. Appropriate prescribing was high, but therapy goal achievement was low in both study groups throughout the study. Overall adherence to MAT-CHDSP criteria increased in both groups and was significantly higher in the intervention group at study end compared to the control group, 78.1% vs. 61.4%, P < 0.001. The difference was mainly due to an increased documentation of lifestyle advices in intervention group patients. No significant improvements in biomedical risk factors were observed in favor of the intervention group, possible due to an underpowered study. Conclusion The clinical pharmacist-led follow-up program significantly increased documented lifestyle advices defined in the MAT-CHDSP for the intervention group, but did not lead to significant improvements in biomedical risk factor measures in favor of the intervention group. Even if prescribing was high, therapy goal achievement was low in both study groups. Changes to the follow-up program are warranted, in addition to a larger, adequately powered study, before implementation in standard patient care can be recommended.
