Filter by:The purpose of this study is to assess whether adding mitral valve repair to coronary artery bypass grafting improves outcome in patients with ischemic mitral regurgitation.
Evaluate the proportion of hyperlipaemic persons with known coronary heart disease achieving ldl-c goal as defined by the national cholesterol education program (NCEP) adult treatment panel (ATP) III guidelines
Physicians tend to always use the lowest dose of statins to initiate therapy even in subjects who require large reductions in cholesterol. The study evaluates if selecting the starting dose based on baseline and target LDL-C cholesterol would provide better results (ie proportion of subjects resching target)
The purpose of this study is to establish safety and feasibility of utilizing Adipose-Derived Stem and Regenerative Cells (ADRC's) in patients who have suffered a ST-elevation acute myocardial infarction.
European physicians tend to always use the lowest dose of statins to initiate therapy even in subjects who require large reductions in cholesterol. The study evaluates if selecting the starting dose based on baseline and target LDL-C cholesterol would provide better results (ie proportion of subjects resching target)
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of a direct stenting technique compared to conventional stenting with pre-dilatation strategy using the CoStar Paclitaxel-eluting coronary stent system for the treatment of a single de novo lesion in a native coronary artery ≤ 25 mm long in a native coronary artery 2.5-3.5 mm diameter.
Enoxaparin 0.75mg/kg BW is not inferior to weight adjusted unfractionated heparin as anticoagulation for PCI
This multicenter, prospective, observational registry will evaluate the safety and performance of the CYPHER SELECT™ Sirolimus-eluting Coronary Stent, and of all future generation of commercially approved Cordis Sirolimus-eluting Stents (SES), in routine clinical practice. Its objective is to measure the incidence and identify the predictors of acute, sub-acute and late stent thrombosis and Major Adverse Cardiac Events (MACE). Additional analyses will be performed in patient sub-populations, such as diabetes, in-stent restenosis (ISR), acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and multivessel coronary disease.
Air pollution is a major cause of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The components of air pollution responsible and the mechanisms through which they might mediate these harmful effects remain only partially understood. We hypothesise that these adverse effects are mediated by combustion derived air pollutants and that even a brief exposure will effect heart and blood vessel function. We assess the effect of dilute diesel exhaust inhalation at levels encountered in urban road traffic on heart and blood vessel function in patients with stable coronary heart disease.
Cholesterol is the precursor of glucocorticoids, mineralocorticoids and sex steroids. Both adrenal and non-adrenal (ovarian + testicular) all steroid hormones are primarily synthesized using the LDL–cholesterol in the circulation. Additionally there is ‘de novo’ cholesterol synthesis in both the adrenals and gonads controlled by the HMG-CoA reductase enzyme. A third pathway is the use of circulatory HDL–cholesterol by the adrenal and gonadal tissues for the synthesis of steroids. Since statins both decrease circulatory LDL and inhibit de novo cholesterol synthesis, they are likely to affect the synthesis of steroid hormones. In this study we aim to investigate the effects of lowering LDL levels below 70 mg/dL on steroid hormone synthesis.
