Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine whether the administration of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, particularly eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), can be useful both to reduce coronary artery disease (CAD) risk and illness severity in clinically-stable patients with schizophrenia (or schizoaffective disorder), major depression or bipolar disorder (depressed phase) being treated with lipid lowering drugs (e.g., statins).
In patients with coronary artery disease and a LDL-C level between 2.5 mmol/L and 5.0 mmol/L on a stable (> 4 weeks) statin starting dose (simvastatin 20 mg or atorvastatin 10 mg), investigate what the LCL-C lowering efficacy is of doubling the statin dose (to 40 mg simvastatin or 20 mg atorvastatin) versus a combination tablet of ezetimibe 10 mg plus simvastatin 20 mg once daily for 12 weeks. It is postulated that more patients reach their LDL-C treatment goal with the combination tablet compared to doubling the starting dose. Furthermore, the effect of both treatment regimens on other lipid parameters, safety and LDL-subfractions will be measured.
The purpose of this study is to compare cardiac MRI with positron emission tomography (PET) with fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) to determine if cardiac MRI images are as good as, or better, than PET with FDG.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the investigational stent CoStar™ Paclitaxel-Eluting Coronary Stent- a reservoir based DES system in comparison to a surface coated DES stent (TAXUS™ Express2™ Paclitaxel-Eluting Coronary Stent) in the treatment of single-vessel (one blood vessel) and multi-vessel (two or three blood vessels) coronary artery disease.
The study will evaluate the effect of familial risk assessment and prevention prompts tailored to familial risk on health behaviors and use of preventive services among adults who are members of primary care practices in the U.S.
In this study we will compare the effects of a Mediterranean diet, high in fruit and vegetables with the more conventional diet recommended for diabetes therapy (a high carbohydrate, low fat diet) on glycaemic and lipid control and on markers of inflammation, in people with newly diagnosed Type 2 diabetes. The hypothesis is that, over a six-month intervention period, a HVM diet will be more effective than a conventional HCLF diet in improving glycaemic and lipid control, and in reducing markers of vascular inflammation in people with Type 2 diabetes.
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of atorvastatin 80 mg daily as compared to atorvastatin 10 mg daily in reducing C-reactive protein levels over a 26-week treatment period in subjects with documented coronary artery disease.
The study is designed to see if stress echocardiography can be used as a screening exam in peri-, or post-menopausal women with a risk of developing of coronary artery disease and experiencing future cardiac events.
The purpose of the study is to determine whether BMS068645 is as effective as Adenosine SPECT at detecting blockages in heart arteries, and to determine if it will have fewer side effects
The primary purpose of this study is to determine the optimal time for myocardial perfusion imaging with Technetium Tc99m Sestamibi following the administration of BMS068645. The safety of BMS068645 will also be studied.
