Filter by:Major sporting events may have adverse cardiovascular effects in subjects with coronary heart disease. We also hypothesized that the adverse cardiovascular effects of sporting events are a result of psychobiological processes including stress-induced hemodynamic changes, autonomic dysfunction and parasympathetic withdrawal, and inflammatory and prothrombotic responses, all of which may in turn promote myocardial ischemia.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of dosing with mipomersen for 26 weeks in treating severely hypercholesterolemic patients who are on a maximally tolerated lipid-lowering regimen and who are not on apheresis.
The purpose of this study is to establish the optimal strategy for side branch stenting in coronary bifurcation lesion.
The primary objective is to document the acute and mid-term safety and overall clinical performance of the Endeavor(TM) Zotarolimus Eluting Coronary stent system in a "real world" Chinese patient population requiring stent implantation. To assess the event rate in patient subgroups with specific clinical indications and/or vessel or lesion characteristics.
Chronic total coronary occlusions (CTO) have an especially high risk of angiographic restenosis, and need for new revascularization procedures. Drug-eluting coronary stents (DES) have demonstrated to significantly reduce the risk of restenosis and new revascularization procedures in comparison with bare-metal stents. Most data on the efficacy of DES come from the sirolimus-eluting coronary stent Cypher (Cordis corp.), and paclitaxel-eluting coronary stent Taxus (Boston Sci.), and the Cypher stent is the only DES that has been randomly tested in CTO. Among second-generation DES, everolimus-eluting stent (EES) has shown excellent angiographic and clinical results, but this DES has not been studied in unfavourable scenario (such as CTO). The aim of the CIBELES trial is to demonstrate the hypothesis that EES are equally effective in comparison with sirolimus-eluting stents in the treatment of CTO, in terms of angiographic efficacy considered as in-stent late lumen loss.
Randomized Study To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Elixir Medical DESyne Novolimus-Eluting Coronary Stent System with Durable Polymer through the assessment of clinical, angiographic and IVUS endpoints as compared to the concurrently enrolled Medtronic Zotarolimus-Eluting Coronary Stent System in a randomized, single blind study of up to 200 male and female patients. In a Continued Access Registry of up to 100 patients receiving the DESyne Stent clinical-only endpoints will be evaluated. To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Elixir Novolimus-Eluting Coronary Stent System with bioabsorbable polymer as compared to the Medtronic Endeavor Zotarolimus-Eluting Coronary Stent System control through clinical and angiographic endpoints.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the cardioprotective effects of a short term infusion of glucose-insulin-potassium (GIK) during heart surgery.
To assess prognostic value of CCTA examination in subjects who undergo CCTA as part of their medical care when compared to a standard of truth, i.e. subject outcomes during each follow-up period.
This is a study of the effects of 3 oz almonds added daily to a National Cholesterol Education Program Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes (TLC) diet in improving endothelial function in patients with Coronary Artery Disease. The study seeks to determine if these effects are mediated via an increase in Nitric Oxide synthesis and reductions in dyslipidemia and systemic inflammation. Vascular reactivity will be assessed via flow mediated dilation with endothelium-independent and hyperemic flow measured in the right brachial artery by non-invasive 2-dimensional and Doppler ultrasound. Serum will be collected and analyzed for biomarkers of dyslipidemia, inflammation, endothelial function, vascular reactivity and oxidative stress.
Objectives : - To evaluate the influence of concomitant use of cilostazol with aspirin and clopidogrel on the composite cardiovascular adverse outcomes (cardiac death, myocardial infarction, nonhemorrhagic stroke, target lesion revascularization) after drug-eluting stent implantation Study Design : Prospective, open label, two arm, randomized multicenter trial to test the superiority of cilostazol group compared with the control group. Patients will be randomized according to the use of cilostazol Patient Enrollment: 960 patients enrolled at 5 centers in Korea Patient Follow-up : Clinical follow-up will occur at 1, 3 and 6 months. Angiographic follow-up will be recommended to all patient at 6 months after index procedure. Primary Endpoint - Composite of adverse cardiovascular/cerebrovascular outcomes (cardiac death, myocardial infarction, nonhemorrhagic stroke, target lesion revascularization) within 6 months Secondary Endpoint - All cause of death, stent thrombosis, and each component of primary endpoint at six months - PRU level measured at discharge after the index procedure and after six months Safety Endpoint - Bleeding complications according to TIMI criteria - The incidence of drug discontinuation - Heart rate
