Filter by:Coronary heart disease (CHD) pose a serious health threaten to population. Optimal revascularization strategy in multiple vessel coronary artery disease patients remains a subject of debate between interventional cardiologists and surgeons. Knowledge about the real-life revascularization pattern and outcomes in China is limited. By consecutively recruiting three vessel coronary heart disease patients in 25 geographically representative highest-rank hospitals, this study will examine revascularization strategy, and various real-life factors, that may affect patients lone-term recovery. Practical guidelines, appropriateness criteria and quality evaluative system for revascularization strategy will be established based on the findings, to improve patients outcomes in future finally.
Coronary heart disease (CHD) pose a serious health threaten to population. PCI, as a well-proved and booming measure in CHD management, is invasive and of high cost, however the knowledge about the real-life PCI use in China is limited. By consecutively recruiting PCI patients in 30 geographically representative highest-rank hospitals, this study will examine various real-life factors, that may affect patients recovery after the procedure. Practical guidelines, appropriateness criteria and quality evaluative system for PCI will be established based on the findings, to improve patients outcomes in future finally.
Coronary heart disease (CHD) and heart attacks pose a serious health risk to men and women, however little information is available about how evidence-based therapies are incorporated appropriately into routine clinical practice in China. In addition, basic data and evidence about safety and efficacy of treatment for AMI is limited. By consecutively recruiting AMI patients in 40 hospitals of different levels, this study will examine various real-life factors, that may affect patients recovery after a heart attack. Practical guidelines and risk model for AMI patients will be established based on the findings, to improve patients outcomes in future finally.
Coronary heart disease (CHD) is one of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity. PCI, as a well-proved and booming measure in CHD management, is invasive and of high cost, however the knowledge about the real-life PCI use in China is limited. Within a nation-wide and regional representative probability sample of hospitals in China, 14,000 CAG/PCI inpatient cases will be sampled randomly from 2001 to 2011. The sampled medical records will be reviewed and abstracted in the national coordinating centre, in order to evaluate the treatment pattern, outcomes, and cost for PCI, during the past decade. Basic data and innovative evidence will accelerate evidence-based clinical practice and policy making, and improve patients outcomes in future finally.
Coronary heart disease (CHD) and heart attacks pose a serious health risk to men and women, however the knowledge about the real-life AMI management in China is limited. Within a nation-wide and regional representative probability sample of hospitals in China, 27,800 AMI inpatient cases will be sampled randomly from 2001 to 2011. The sampled medical records will be reviewed and abstracted in the national coordinating centre, in order to evaluate the treatment pattern, outcomes, and cost for AMI patients, during the past decade. Basic data and innovative evidence will accelerate evidence-based clinical practice and policy making, and improve AMI patients outcomes finally.
The purpose of the study is to target inflammation to reduce progression of noncalcified plaque in the coronary arteries using omega-3 fatty acid supplementation compared to standard of care.
This study is a single centre pilot for a randomized trial comparing all-blood cardioplegia to more dilute 4:1 blood cardioplegia during cardiac surgery. The hypothesis is that all-blood cardioplegia will be associated with less blood transfusion and better cardiac function.
The substitution of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) for saturated fatty acids (SFA) is a cornerstone of worldwide dietary advice for coronary heart disease (CHD) risk reduction. However, clinical CHD benefits specific to the omega-6 PUFA linoleic acid (LA), and distinct from omega-3 PUFAs, have not been established. The Sydney Diet-Heart Study (SDHS; 1966-1973) was a randomized controlled secondary CHD prevention trial testing whether selectively increasing omega-6 LA from safflower oil in place of SFA reduced CHD and improved survival. A full analysis of mortality outcomes has not been published. The investigators recovered the original SDHS dataset, which included detailed longitudinal dietary, smoking and coded mortality data, permitting evaluation of smoking relapse rates, and all-cause, CVD and CHD mortality outcomes by nutrient intake and duration of diet exposure. Data recovery also permitted the first complete meta-analysis of LA intervention trials on mortality outcomes. Objectives are (1) to evaluate whether increasing dietary linoleic acid alters CVD and CHD mortality, and (2) to assess whether changes in smoking relapse rates contribute to observed mortality differences.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that the strength of agreement between single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging with regadenoson following inadequate exercise stress testing and SPECT imaging with regadenoson alone is not inferior to the strength of agreement between two sequential regadenoson SPECT images without exercise.
The main aim of this study will evaluate differences in serum levels of tryptase in study population. Will be selected a number of 350 patients hospitalized for coronary heart disease.
