Filter by:Currently, cardiac computed tomography angiography (CCTA) is a well-implemented non-invasive diagnostic imaging modality in patients with stable chest pain. Besides conventional CT-reading, CCTA is also capable to identify several morphologic and geometric characteristics of atherosclerotic plaques. Recently, the investigators showed that the use of semi-automated plaque quantification algorithm identified parameters predictive for acute coronary syndrome on top of clinical risk profiling and conventional CT-reading. In addition, several atherotrombosis biomarkers, like high-sensitivity cardiac troponins, are described as related to coronary artery disease and cardiovascular events. Prospective data with sequential analysis of atherosclerotic plaques combined with different atherothrombosis biomarkers are currently lacking, but will provide important clues about the pathophysiology of plaque progression and atherothrombosis.
This proposal seeks to assess the impact of 24 weeks of metformin on non-calcified plaques and calcified plaques assessed by coronary CT angiography, and on whether these changes can be explained by metformin-induced phenotypic and secretory changes of monocytes.
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in developed countries. In addition, many patients suffer from valvular and aortic disease. Although various tools are available to identify patients with cardiovascular (CV) disease at risk for major adverse cardiac events (MACE), the identification of these patients remains a clinical challenge. One promising avenue is the use of different serum biomarkers involved in atherothrombosis which could provide an easy and cost-effective step in risk stratification.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, efficacy and deliverability of the CRE8 sirolimus-eluting stent system in the treatment of patients with de novo coronary artery lesions.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, efficacy and deliverability of the CRE8 sirolimus-eluting stent and the RESOLUTE zotarolimus-eluting stent in the treatment of patients with de novo coronary artery lesions.
To evaluate the contribution of the assessment of endothelial dysfunction (ED) in improving coronary hearth disease (CHD) risk stratification obtained by the Framingham risk score (FRS) in rheumatoid arthritis population (RA).
To evaluate the safety for the combination of Rivaroxaban and Ticagrel versus triple antithrombotic regimen (Vitamin K Antagonist (VKA), Clopigogrel and Aspirin) in patients with atrial fibrillation and coronary artery disease undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
DebriS Interventional REmoval in ACS (DESIRE-ACS) Study to assess the safety and performance of the ECA Bell balloon in subjects undergoing coronary percutaneous interventions.
Dual antiplatelet therapy consisting in aspirin and clopidogrel is the cornerstone of the treatment of the prevention of the thrombotic events in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD), showing a reduction in adverse events.
The E-CABG registry is a multicenter, European registry collecting data on the preoperative characteristics, treatment strategies and outcome of patients undergoing isolated coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).
