Filter by:This study is a retrospective, single-center study.This experiment aims to explore the influence of CT-FFR as a relevant for revascularization on the prognosis of patients with coronary heart disease, assessing concurrent on different basis the difference of prognosis of patients with revascularization was analyzed, and the significance of revascularization related by CT-FFR was analyzed.This study is a retrospective study. The treatment strategies of all patients are based on the results of CAG，including coronary revascularization.After calculating the CT-FFR value, the above doctors will formulate treatment strategies based on the results and formulate treatment strategies retrospectively.
As part of National Institutes of Health Rapid Acceleration of Diagnostics-Underserved Populations (RADx-UP) program, the goal of the RADxUP study is to develop, test, and evaluate a rapid, scalable capacity building project to enhance COVID-19 testing in three regional community health centers (CHCs) in San Diego County, California. In collaboration with CHC partners, their consortium organization, Health Quality Partners (HQP), investigators are pursuing the following Specific Aims: 1) Compare the effectiveness of automated calls vs text messaging for uptake of COVID-19 testing among asymptomatic adult patients with select medical conditions and those 65 years of age and older receiving care at participating CHCs. Secondarily, investigators will invite all study participants to receive flu vaccination and will assess feasibility and acceptability of study participants to refer adult family household members who are essential workers for COVID-19 testing. 2) Gather patient, provider, CHC leadership, and community stakeholder insights to establish best practices for future scale-up of COVID-19 testing sustainability and vaccination.
This study will collect initial clinical data on the CSI pVAD system to inform device design and finalization.
To determine the effects of exercise training on ankle-brachial index and Quality of Life in coronary artery disease patients after stenting. There is a need to develop strategies, not only to prevent restenosis but also to improve patients' functional status and perception of well-being. In particular, it is not well defined whether exercise training can reduce the restenosis rate and improve the outcome after percutaneous intervention (PCI), and its effects on the Ankle-brachial index are not yet well known.
There are currently only few data on the coronary artery calcium score in patient with diabetes in France, and the diagnostic and therapeutic attitudes towards a high coronary artery calcium score are not standardized and depend on clinical practices, which may vary from one center to another. The proposed multicenter prospective study would provide a better understanding of the epidemiological particularities of the coronary artery calcium score in French diabetics, refine the indications for better performance of the examination, and compare attitudes when this score is high.
Patients with chronic coronary syndromes (CCS) diagnosed without significant lesions in invasive coronary angiography (ischemia non-obstructive coronary artery disease - INOCA) represent approximately 50% of all patients with CCS. Results of FAME study clearly showed that evaluation of coronary circulation should not be accomplished only with visual assessment in resting conditions. Current European Society of Cardiology Guidelines of diagnosis and treatment of CCS published in 2019 emphasize the necessity of performing complex coronary physiology assessment. Invasive physiological measurements and vasoreactivity provocative tests emerged as key tools to differentiate between vasospastic angina, microcirculatory angina, overlap of both conditions or non-cardiac disease. According to contemporary literature, identification of heterogeneity of patients with INOCA is crucial for determination of adequate treatment. An appropriate pharmacotherapy has a potential to improve outcomes including grade of angina, quality of life, exertional tolerance and most important - MACCE (major adverse cardiac and cardiovascular events) free survival. However, there is a lack of evidence on each of the subtypes of INOCA especially in those with signs and symptoms of vasospasm in provocative test but without visual spasm in epicardial vessels.
The aim of this non-inferiority trial is to determine if the distal radial access (DRA) during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has an acceptable efficacy compared to the reference access through the conventional radial artery (TRA) with a lower rate of radial artery occlusion (RAO) in real life practice.
NOTACS aims to determine if prophylactic use of high-flow nasal therapy (for a minimum of 16 hours after tracheal extubation, inclusive of up to one hour off randomised therapy for transfers around the hospital and/or physio mobilisation) increases days at home in the first 90 days after surgery, for adult patients undergoing cardiac surgery who are at high risk of postoperative pulmonary complications. The study also incorporates a health economic analysis to estimate the incremental cost-effectiveness and cost-utility of HFNT versus standard oxygen therapy at 90 days, from the view-point of the public sector, NHS and patients.
Heart attacks are caused by the sudden formation of a clot inside a diseased coronary artery which reduces blood flow beyond the blockage site. During conventional treatment of the blockage with what is known as a stent; a stainless steel tub that keeps the artery open, the clot that has formed is disrupted and is pushed further down leading to damage in smaller blood vessels supplying the heart muscle. This additional damage can lead to long-term heart muscle damage influencing recovery and wellbeing. The original concept that was tested to prevent this 'clot shower' was that of a suction device to withdraw the clot before stenting. However, this approach has not translated to patient benefit. Amongst the reasons put forward for the inefficacy of the suction device was that it does not remove the entire clot as it does not interact with it. A new device that physically interacts with the clot and traps it before pulling it out - the stent retriever - is now routinely used in stroke therapy to remove clots in the arteries supplying the brain. This device has been successfully used as a last resort to remove clots in a small number of heart attacks. The investigators hypothesize that stent retriever therapy will be more effective in clot removal than the current standard of care; suction or stenting. To study this, the investigators propose the RETRIEVE-AMI randomised controlled trial.
This study was planned as a randomized controlled trial to determine the effect of mandala painting on the anxiety of coronary heart patients.
