Filter by:The aim of this study is to evaluate whether use of the echoclip device (an ultrasound transducer positioning device which can stabilize the involved part of the myocardium on the beating heart) facilitates imaging of coronary bypass anastomoses during coronary bypass surgery. A total of 100 low risk patients undergoing elective on-pump coronary bypass surgery will be included in the study in order to evaluate if the surgeons can visualize the coronary anastomoses before closure of the sternum. Ultrasonograpic pictures will be analyzed directly peroperatively and electronically post-operatively in order to evaluate if selected areas of the anastomoses can be visualized. Use of the echoclip devise will be considered a success if at least 80% of the anastomoses can be visualized.
OBJECTIVES: To investigate the incidence of cardiovascular events as well as progression of coronary artery calcium (CAC) in healthy middle-aged subjects over a period of 7 years, and the relation to traditional as well as new cardiovascular risk factors. METHODS: The Danrisk cohort was established in 2009-2010 based on random retrieval from the Danish national civil registry (N=1825). Initially, distribution of gender, area of residence and year of birth (1949 or 1959) were equal among the 4 involved centres (OUH, Svendborg, Vejle and Esbjerg). A total of 1257 subjects (69%) accepted the invitation to undergo cardiovascular risk evaluation including non-contrast enhanced cardiac CT-scan for CAC estimation, and a total of 1227 subjects were found free of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and diabetes (DM), and was included in the study back then. In 2014-2015 the DanRisk cohort was invited to a 5 year follow-up examination. The investigators examined a total of 1031 subjects (82%) in the investigators 4 regional centres. The follow-up examination included general health evaluation and estimation of CAC by non-contrast enhanced cardiac CT-scan. Information of death, cardiovascular events and medication usage was obtained from the Danish national patient register, the Danish register of causes of death and the Danish national database of reimbursed prescriptions in 2016.
Postmarket surveillance in terms of the safety and efficacy of Sirolimus-eluting Coroflex ISAR Stent for the treatment of "real world" patients with de-novo and restenotic lesions after stand-alone angioplasty in coronary arteries.
Modern high-end CT scanners with faster scan acquisition times now allow for routine assessment of cardiac pathologies, which could result in numerous incidental cardiac findings on standard thoracic CT angiography (CTA) scans. The CaPaCT-study aims to assesses the presence, management and possible clinical impact of incidental cardiac pathologies which are becoming visible on standard thoracic CT scans performed on new high-end scanners.
The purpose of this study is to determine if extra systoles can be used to predict fluid responsiveness perioperatively in patients undergoing on pump coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. As an additional study we will investigate the ability of a mini fluid challenge to predict response of a larger volume of fluid.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of an extended behavioral intervention in exercise-based CR for improvement of physical capacity, adherence, psychological and physiological parameters, compared with usual care.
Published data indicate that obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) worse the prognosis of coronary artery disease (CAD) and that oxidative stress can link this 2 diseases. Investigators hypothesise that oxidative stress decrease after 3 months of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) in this specific population. The results may have major implication in the comprehension of physiopathologic processes linking OSAS and CAD and in the treatment of OSAS in this specific population.
The purpose of the study is to find out if hybrid coronary revascularization (HCR) and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) procedure outcomes are similar. HCR is a combination of surgery and catheter procedures to open up clogged heart arteries. CABG is a surgical procedure to open up clogged heart arteries.
The study is a two-arm, parallel, randomized clinical trial. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of automated mobile phone text message-based intervention for secondary prevention, including lifestyles modification, medication adherence improvement and risk factors control among coronary heart disease (CHD) patients without diabetes. The participants will be randomized into intervention and control groups in a 1:1 ratio. The intervention group will receive 6 pre-designed text messages per week in addition to usual care for 6 months, while the control group will receive usual care.
Study on the registration of coronary heart disease patients undergoing PCI in Chinese's population. Get the incidence of adverse events in these patients after PCI, a clear type of adverse reaction, forms, influencing factors, to establish risk management processes, clinical safety and reasonable treatment, and provide the basis for further research and reference.
