NCT ID: NCT06313008 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Coronary Artery Disease

Empagliflozin Versus Vildagliptin in CAD Patients With T2DM

Start date: August 10, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

We compared the cardioprotective effects of empagliflozin, an SGLT2 inhibitor, with those of vildagliptin, a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor, focusing on various inflammatory biomarkers lipid profile, and cardiac function, in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

NCT ID: NCT06311071 Completed - Clinical trials for Coronary Artery Disease

The Predictive Value of Coronary Artery Calcium Score

Start date: January 1, 2022
Phase:
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

In this analytical prospective study 498 patients over 40 years with any cardiovascular symptoms and without pre-established coronary artery disease ( CAD) were enrolled. Patients underwent CT scans to measure coronary artery calcium score (CACS), and total calcium scores were recorded. Then, conventional coronary angiography was performed for all the participants as the gold standard for diagnosing CAD (defined as at least one stenotic coronary artery with ≥ 50%). Framingham risk score (FRS) was also estimated for all the patients

Coronary Thermo-dilution Derived Flow-indices in Chronic Coronary Syndrome

Start date: September 2, 2015
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Patients scheduled for elective coronary angiography due to chronic coronary syndrome are recruited at admission to hospital before the coronary anatomy is known. Immediately after coronary angiography measures thermo-dilution derived flow indices are obtained in the left left anterior descending artery (LAD). The patients are followed through telephone-calls and medical records at 1 and 2 years after inclusion and at completion of the study. The hypothesis is that elevated index of microcirculatory resistance (IMR),(>25) is associated with all-cause death, myocardial infarction (MI) and hospitalization due to congestive heart failure (CHF). The primary analysis is the relationship between IMR and the composite outcome all-cause death, MI and hospitalization due to CHF.

TREAT Study - Improving the Interpretation of Troponin Concentrations Following Exercise and Their Clinical Significance

TREAT
Start date: June 15, 2022
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The goal of this observational study is to learn about cardiac biomarker release following exercise in amateur athletes. The main questions it aims to answer are: Question 1: What are the reference values for exercise-induced cardiac troponin elevations following walking, cycling and running exercise? Hypothesis 1: We hypothesize that the exercise-induced cTn release is different following walking, cycling and running exercise. Therefore, we will establish reference values for post-exercise cTn concentrations across each of these sport types. Question 2: Is the prevalence of (subclinical) coronary artery disease higher in individuals with high post-exercise cardiac troponin concentrations in comparison to individuals with low post-exercise cardiac troponin concentrations? Hypothesis 2: We hypothesize that athletes with the highest post-exercise cTn concentrations have a higher prevalence of coronary atherosclerosis compared to athletes matched for sex and age with the lowest post-exercise cTn concentrations. Question 3: What is the association between post-exercise cardiac troponin concentrations and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and mortality during long-term follow-up? Hypothesis 3: We hypothesize that post-exercise cTn concentrations beyond the 99th percentile are associated with an increased risk for MACE and mortality during follow-up. This study consists of three phases: Phase 1: two or three visits to the study location for (amongst other measurements) blood draws to assess cardiac troponin concentrations Phase 2: CT scan of the heart in 10% of participants to assess the prevalence of (subclinicial) coronary artery disease. Phase 3: longitudinal follow-up to assess the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events and mortality during 20-year follow-up. Participants will visit our study centre two, three or four times: Visit 1: baseline measurements including height, weight, body composition and blood pressure will be obtained and a blood sample will be drawn. Visit 2: a blood sample will be drawn and activity data will be obtained from participants' own sports watch or bike computer. Optional visit 3: a blood sample will be drawn. Visit 4: 10% of participants will undergo a cardiac CT scan to assess the prevalence of (subclinical) coronary artery disease.

NCT ID: NCT06279663 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Coronary Syndrome, Acute, Non-ST Elevation, High Risk Patients

Management Tactics for Patients High Risk With Acute Coronary Syndrome Without ST Segment Elevation and Multivessel Coronary Artery Disease

NSTE-ACSMT
Start date: February 29, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The study will include patients with acute coronary syndrome without ST segment elevation and multivessel CA lesion, who are subject to surgical treatment according to KG data (Syntax Score 23 - 32 points with significant damage to the anterior descending artery and/or trunk of the left coronary artery). The patient should be suitable for both CABG and PCI (confirmed by an X-ray surgeon and a cardiac surgeon). An X-ray surgeon and a cardiac surgeon, within the framework of planning the volume of revascularization, strives for the fullest feasible volume. Complete myocardial revascularization (that is, the desire for the absence of hemodynamically significant coronary arteries after revascularization, with a diameter of > 2.5 mm, that is, residual coronary artery stenosis of no more than 60%). Thus, patients will be randomized into groups in a ratio of 1:1. Each group will need to include 230 patients (a total of 460). In the main group, revascularization will be performed by PCI, in the control group by CABG.

Integrated Assessment of Cervicocerebral Vessels to Improve the Brain Injury for CAGB Patients (IACV Study)

Start date: January 1, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The goal of this study is to establish a prospective study to focus on the high-risk stroke population who require coronary artery bypass graft surgery. It will divide the eligible patients into 1:1 group by simple randomization method. The control group adopt the traditional diagnosis and treatment mode, and only head CT plain scan and carotid artery ultrasound shall be performed. If necessary, relevant disciplines would be consulted but no integrated assessment of cervicocerebral vessels be arranged. The final treatment plan would be decided by the surgeon alone. The experimental group adopt the multidisciplinary collaboration and integrated evaluation mode. In addition to routine diagnosis and treatment as above-mentioned, integrated assessment of cervicocerebral vessels shall be performed, including transcranial color-coded doppler, cerebral perfusion with multislice CT, and cognitive function assessment. Based on the above results, surgical plans will be formulated jointly by multiple disciplines including neurologists, vascular surgeons, ICU physicians and cardiac surgeons. Researchers will compare the two groups to investigate whether integrated assessment of cervicocerebral vessels can reduce the incidence of brain injury compared with conventional diagnosis and treatment mode.

Postprocedural Contrast Mediated FFR Plus Intracoronary Infusion of Nitroglycerin in Multivessel Patients (PROMETEUS TRIAL)

Start date: March 20, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

the use of pressure wires is the standar of care to evaluate angiographically intermediate coronary lesions, however, limitations in the management of these type of lesions continue to be a challenge for the interventional cardiologist. The use of FFR has some limitations such as the use of adenosine due to its cost, adverse effects (e.g. transient atrioventricular block, angina, headache, etc.), time consuming and some relative contraindications for its use. In this sense, in recent years new rest indices (iFR, RFR, dPR) and hyperemic indices without adenosine (cFFR-NTG, Pd/Pa-NTG or cFFR) have been developed, demonstrating an improvement in terms of outcomes with its use, so they can also be used as a tool to guide us to plan our strategy. These new indices, particularly the cFFR-NTG, are simpler, at least as safe and have an excellent correlation with the FFR with adenosine in the assessment of intermediate coronary lesions. In recent years, functional assessment after intervention has also been increasingly implemented, which, like intracoronary imaging, can make us change our attitude and correlate with the prognosis. The lower implementation of this practice, especially in multivessel patients, may result from having to lose the position of the wire to check equalization, difficulty in crossing the wire, wear/breakage of the material after diagnosis (2-3 vessels), use more time and contrast, etc. These problems could be reduced, at least partially, with the use of the workhorse coronary guidewire pressure microcatheter to measure post-PCI functional assessment. Although the usefulness of post-PCI FFR has been demonstrated, there is no clearly established cut-off value (0.84-0.96) and it seems that in reality the values are a continuum of risk so that the higher the value, the better the prognosis . Furthermore, other simpler indices such as rest or hyperemic indices without adenosine have not been correlated with FFR in post-PCI. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the correlation between cFFR-NTG and other indices taking FFR as a reference in multivessel patients after undergoing intervention. Establish cut-off points and correlate it with adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in a 1-year clinical follow-up.

Implementation of Contemporary Coronary CT Angiography in Clinical Practice

CONCORDE
Start date: October 10, 2023
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Coronary CT angiography (CCTA) has been recognized as the first-line diagnostic test for most patients with suspected coronary syndrome, often acting as a gatekeeper for invasive coronary angiography. It is therefore pivotal to understand instances of discrepancies that are encountered in clinical practice. Moreover, most of the literature on this topic relies on obsolete machines or definitions of coronary artery stenosis that cannot be defined as severe. The investigators aim 1) to report the real word data on the performance of last-generation CCTA in identifying obstructive coronary artery disease (also considering different thresholds of stenosis, i.e., moderate or severe) and 2) to identify predictors of discrepancies.

Comparison Between Optical Coherence Tomography and Intravascular Ultrasound for Intermediate Left Main Coronary Artery Lesions

EMPERATRIZ
Start date: March 20, 2024
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Significant coronary disease of the left main coronary artery (LMCA) is found in 4%-5% of all coronary angiography procedures. Classically, it has been determined that a significant angiographic stenosis should reach at least 50% of the vessel diameter by visual estimation, which corresponds to 75% of the vessel area. However, angiography has a number of limitations inherent to the technique and location of stenosis, and other techniques are therefore available for evaluation. Intracoronary ultrasound (IVUS) deserves, together with the pressure guidewire, special consideration in determining the severity assessment (anatomical and functional) of lesions in this location. Using IVUS the most commonly used cut-off value is 6 mm2. in ambiguous lesions of the LMCA, a MLA >6 mm2 would indicate no revascularisation, a MLA <4.5-5 mm2 would indicate revascularisation, and MLA values between 4.5-5 and 6 mm2 would make it advisable to use FRF/iFR to decide. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is another intracoronary imaging modality, with greater resolution and significant differences from IVUS. no MLA cut-off point with OCT has been demonstrated for the management of LMCA lesions. Due to the differences in imaging with both techniques, the thresholds established as cut-off points in IVUS cannot be extrapolated to OCT. The objective is to compare the minimal luminal area by IVUS and OCT of angiographically intermediate LCMA lesions and to assess the prognostic value of TCFA assessed by OCT.
