Filter by:The aim of this trial is to evaluate whether a reduction in the heparin dose from 140 to 100 U/kg is associated with a better net clinical outcome in patients undergoing PCI after pretreatment with 600mg clopidogrel
Safety and dosimetry of BFPET™ will be evaluated in healthy volunteers and Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) patients , male or female and of age ranging between 20-80 years old.
Subjects with impaired glucose tolerance will be randomized to either rosiglitazone or placebo for a 18 month period. The study will look at baseline, 12 month and 18 month data for exercise tolerance, coronary artery calcification and diabetes indicators.
Percutaneous coronary intervention with stent implantation is limited on the one hand by restenosis due to smooth muscle cell proliferation and on the other hand by stent thrombosis due to incomplete or not sufficient enough endothelialization of stent struts. The Genous stent implantation allows a rapid layer over the stent struts with endothelial progenitor cells allowing a fast endothelialization and probably reducing the risk of stent thrombosis. Local therapy with drug-eluting balloons administering paclitaxel has been shown to reduce restenosis in in-stent restenosis and de-novo lesions in vessels with small reference diameter. The combination of a paclitaxel-eluting balloon and Genous stent implantation may summarized both advantages: a rapid endothelialization limiting the number of stent thrombosis and on the other hand a reduction of smooth muscle cell proliferation minimizing the risk of restenosis with the subsequent need for revascularization.
This trial is to assess physician-determined XIENCE V® EECSS acute performance, deliverability and resource utilization in the catheterization lab during commercial use by various physicians with a range of coronary stenting experience
The purpose of this study is to determine whether polymorphisms in G protein subunits, namely Galphas and Galphaq, are associated with altered cardiac performance in heart failure patients.
This study is being performed to evaluate what variants of lipid-lowering therapy are used in Russian clinical practice in coronary heart disease (CHD) patients with hypercholesterolemia in whom the initial statin therapy did not achieve low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) goals. Additionally, the efficacy and safety of all variants of modified lipid-lowering therapy are to be evaluated.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether online peer support will increase adherence to an internet-based pedometer walking program.
Increases in carotid artery intima-media thickness (IMT) are correlated with increased risk of stroke and myocardial infarction. The purpose of this study is to assess if pomegranate juice will retard the carotid (IMT) progression rate in men and women who have one or more existing cardiovascular risk factors (current cigarette smoking, hypertension, low HDL-cholesterol, and/or high LDL-cholesterol) upon entrance into the study.
Patients with diabetes are more likely to develop furring of their coronary arteries and present with angina and heart attacks. Furthermore, after such an event, they have poorer outcomes (higher rates of death) and survivors are more likely to have recurring symptoms. Using a novel "clotting chamber" the investigators have shown that patients with diabetes are more likely to develop blood clots. This study will look at the role of different blood thinning medications in patients with diabetes. If successful, the investigators will provide evidence to conduct large clinical studies to look at the role of additional blood thinning medication in reducing heart attacks and strokes in patients with diabetes.
