Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of an intensive Cardiac rehabilitation program on glucose metabolism of non-diabetic coronary artery disease patients.
The purpose of the investigation is to verify the efficiency of the HyperQ™ system in detecting exercise induced ischemia, with higher specificity and sensitivity than conventional ECG Stress testing. The study will be carried out by applying the HyperQ™ system during cycle ergometer stress testing in patients who are referred for angiography at the Department of Cardiology, Essen University Hospital, Essen, Germany. The HyperQ™ results will then be compared to the standard ECG stress test results using the angiography results as the gold standard. The study will be considered successful if analysis of the HyperQ provides a statistically significant improvement over the diagnostic accuracy of conventional ECG stress testing analysis.
The aim of this prospective study is to investigate the prevalence of endothelial dysfunction in subjects with family history of premature coronary heart disease. At the same time, the effect of atorvastatin in treating subclinical endothelial dysfunction in those patients will be evaluated.
The objective of Series III Run-In Trial is to compare the performance and efficacy of the Supralimus® sirolimus-eluting stent with the Xience V™ everolimus-eluting stent with respect to in-stent luminal late loss at 9 months as assessed by off-line QCA. Ninety percent power to reject the null hypothesis that the Supralimus® stent is inferior to Xience V™ in favor of the alternative hypothesis that the Supralimus® stent is not inferior to Xience V™.
It is previously reported that the cerebral oxygen desaturation during cardiac surgery is associated with an increased incidence of cognitive impairment. The aim of this study is to determine whether intraoperative monitoring and predetermined interventions protocol to improve cerebral oxygenation during coronary artery bypass surgery provides benefits in neurocognitive functions.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the treatment of true bifurcation lesions with the XIENCE V stent using the simple strategy (stent in main vessel and provisional T-stenting in the side branch) compared to the complex strategy (stent in main vessel and T-stenting in the side branch).
To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the XIENCE PRIME and XIENCE PRIME Long Lesion (LL) Everolimus Eluting Coronary Stent System (EECSS) in improving coronary luminal diameter in subjects with symptomatic heart disease due to a maximum of two de novo native coronary artery lesions, each in a different epicardial vessel.
Assess the impact of lesion preparation using the AngioSculpt balloon in the treatment of bifurcation lesions in native coronary arteries.
Patients presenting with ACS (Acute Coronary Syndrome) in the emergency department will be screened for clinical eligibility and asked to sign informed consent to the study. A total of 40 patients will be randomized. 20 of them will receive a Trapidil eluting stent (Intrepide™ stent), 20 will receive a Paclitaxel eluting stent (Taxus™ stent). After 90 days the patients who were treated with the INTREPIDE stent in the first lesion will be treated with the Taxus stent in the second lesion. After 90 days the patients who were treated with the Taxus stent in the first lesion will be treated with the INTREPIDE stent in the second lesion. Coronary angiography will be performed through the femoral (groin) or radial (wrist) artery with the use of standard techniques. The doctor will determine if the patient is qualified for enrolment at the end of the diagnostic coronary angiogram
The primary objective of this study is to establish a cut off level of platelet inhibition that separates patients with or without previous stent occlusion with acute clinical onset while on aspirin and clopidogrel treatment within 6 months after coronary stenting for coronary artery disease.
