Treatment of ischemic myocardium has been the subject of intense research in recent years and stem cell therapy is one of the great promises. The InCor laboratory has studied cells from different backgrounds as candidates for cell therapy in the context of myocardial infarction. Evidence in preclinical studies of the application of stromal (mesenchymal) adipose tissue (hASC) in the ischemic heart by both the InCor group (in the animal model in rodents and pigs) and others in the literature suggest relevant benefits on the decrease of deterioration post-infarction. More recently it has been demonstrated that it arises mainly from the formation of new vessels due to paracrine factors, which are secreted by the injected cells. There are currently no studies in Brazil in which the safety of injecting different doses of hASC cells into the heart has been particularly evaluated. Recently, two studies have demonstrated the clinical applicability of hASC in patients with peripheral ischemic disease and stroke. Thus, the objective of this work will be to test the hypothesis that the implantation of autologous stromal cells derived from adipose tissue combined with myocardial revascularization surgery in patients with coronary artery disease
The purpose of the study is to assess the feasibility of Cardiac Shock Wave Treatment in patients with anginal chest pain and evidence of abnormal myocardial perfusion under stress in the absence of significant stenoses of the epicardial coronary arteries.
The ABSORB Post-Approval Clinical Study is a prospective, open-label, multi-center, single-arm, non-randomized trial to evaluate the safety of the use of ABSORB in a real-world setting following commercial physician training'and to observe the effectiveness of commercial physician training on appropriate vessel sizing.
This study will evaluate the effect of GS-6615 in adults with chronic stable angina and coronary artery disease (CAD) receiving a stable daily dose of up to 2 antianginal medications. The study will consist of two periods: a 1 to 3 week Qualifying Period and a Treatment Period lasting 13 days (± 3 days). During the Qualifying Period and at the end of the Treatment Period, participants will undergo exercise tolerance testing.
The purpose of this study is to investigate if remote ischemic preconditioning by combining limb ischaemia with electric muscle stimulation of the ischemic muscle provokes better results in preconditioning the human heart than limb ischaemia alone does.
The purpose of this study is to assess whether nesiritide compared to placebo when given with standard of care therapies, helps preserve kidney function in heart failure (HF) patients undergoing heart bypass graft surgery that requires the use of a cardiopulmonary bypass machine (CPB pump or heart-lung machine).
In recent years, medical research into the cause and progression of heart disease due to narrowing and blockage of blood vessels to the heart muscle has improved the understanding of ischemic heart disease. It is now accepted that both the development and later progression with sudden blockage of blood vessels are associated with inflammation, although it remains unknown exactly what triggers this inflammatory process. It is possible that new blood tests which measure markers of inflammation in the bloodstream may be useful to help identify patients at risk of heart damage and assess response to treatment. The study plans to assess a new blood test for a known marker of inflammation (IL-4) in patients with heart disease. The hypothesis of this study is that, the cytokine, IL-4, measured by a new assay, is abnormally elevated in the blood of patients with coronary artery disease. Also hypothesized is that the degree of abnormality of blood IL-4, is related to important clinical events in such patients, including severity of disease, acute complications, and treatment.
