Filter by:This trial is designed as a phase 2 randomized, double-blind double dummy, active comparator controlled, two-period two-arm crossover study to enroll 40 patients across multiple centers. The study will compare platelet function following a prasugrel loading dose and 1 week of prasugrel maintenance therapy with high-dose clopidogrel loading dose and 1 week of high-dose clopidogrel maintenance therapy in patients with drug treated type 2 diabetes mellitus who have coronary artery disease. Various assays of platelet function will be used in this study. Platelet function will be studied using the following assays: Accumetrics VerifyNowTM P2Y12, Light Transmittance Aggregometry (LTA), Vasodilator-associated stimulated phosphoprotein (VASP), and Thromboelastography (TEG)-platelet mapping.
Pycnogenol® is a proprietary bark extract of the French maritime pine tree (Pinus pinaster ssp. atlantica). Pycnogenol® has prevented pathologic symptoms such as chronic inflammation and increased platelet aggregation, a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. The endothelium is increasingly recognized not only a target (with vascular remodelling occurring in response to an injury and resulting in atherosclerosis), but also a mediator in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. Indeed, endothelial cells play an important regulatory role in the cardiovascular system by the expression of numerous molecules and release of mediators such as nitric oxide (NO), superoxide and endothelin-1 (ET-1). Data from animal studies, as well as human studies indicate that Pycnogenol may improve endothelial function, which is a powerful surrogate for clinical prognosis.
To study the role of Vigileo monitor using the FloTrac sensor to measure cardiac output using the pulse contour analysis as well as central venous oxygen saturation monitoring as a guide for tissue perfusion. The accuracy of the Vigileo monitoring was compared with the conventional thermodilution method for measuring cardiac output using the pulmonary artery catheter and mixed venous oxygen saturation for assessing global tissue perfusion.
The hypothesis to be tested is that gradual clopidogrel therapy cessation is associated with a superior clinical outcome compared with abrupt cessation (superiority hypothesis).
The ACIC is a Collaborative Quality Improvement (CQI) program involving the collection of data related to: indications for Coronary Computed Tomography (CCTA), patient health characteristics, acquisition techniques of CCTA scans, physician interpretation of results and short-term outcomes over a 90 day period.
The primary purpose of this study is to compare the safety and efficacy of ABT-335 (investigational drug) coadministered with atorvastatin and ezetimibe to atorvastatin coadministered with ezetimibe in subjects with abnormal lipid (fat) levels in the blood.
Prospective, multicenter, registry of at least 11,000 (and up to 15,000) consecutive patients with coronary artery disease undergoing stent-assisted percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) using DES without major procedural complications.
The main objective of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of the TiN-coated MAR-Tyn stent in maintaining minimum lumen diameter in de novo native coronary artery lesions as compared to an uncoated control cobalt-chromium balloon-expandable stent (Vision, Abbott Vascular). Both stents are mounted on a Rapid Exchange Stent Delivery System.
XIENCE V® India is a prospective, open-label, multi-center, observational, single-arm study to evaluate XIENCE V® EECSS continued safety and effectiveness during commercial use in real world settings.
The purpose of this study is to prospectivly analyze the correlation of triglyceride tolerance and glucose tolerance with cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in patients with stable coronary artery disease within 18 months and to determine, whether measurement of triglyceride tolerance can discriminate patients at risk for cardiovascular events.
