Filter by:A multidisciplinary program based on physiotherapy and diet education will be carried out for 3 months in patients with coronary artery disease with percutaneous coronary intervention. Educational lectures on nutrition and high intensity interval training will be developed in old patients with chronic heart disease. A control group will not develop any program. Effectiveness on anthropometric parameters, eating habits, physical activity, quality of life, anxiety and depression will be assessed at baseline and at 3 months.
1. to evaluate diagnostic accuracy and performance of IVUS and OCT-derived quantitative parameters to predict functional significance of stenosis defined using all the available physiologic indices. 2. to explores the association between intravascular imaging-derived plaque characteristics and invasive physiologic indices.
This study is designed as a prospective study to capture data for evaluating the repeatability and reproducibility of the CADence™ System. The study will be conducted at 3 different study sites using 6 CADence™ systems. Each subject will be tested 4 separate times by 2 different operators at each site and will be tested at all 3 site locations in order to accomplish this evaluation. The study will enroll a total of at least 24 CADence positive patients and at least 24 CADence negative patients.
1. to investigate the feasibility and diagnostic performance of contrast quantitative flow ratio (QFR) for identifying the functional significance of intermediate degree stenotic lesions in all-comer patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) including presentation of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) with non-culprit lesion. 2. to compare the changes of contrast QFR and fractional flow reserve (FFR) according to severity of percent diameter stenosis (%DS) 3. to evaluate prognostic implication of contrast QFR in comparison with FFR
The study aims to compare the efficacy of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) over single antiplatelet therapy (SAPT) in patients with incomplete revascularization after coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG). Before hospital discharge, patients will be 1:1 randomized to SAPT (acetylsalicylic acid 100 mg/die) or DAPT (acetylsalicylic acid 100 mg/die + ticagrelor 90 mg bis in die). DAPT will be continued for 12 months, and ticagrelor will be withdrawn thereafter. Primary endpoint is the evaluation of cardiac-related mortality at 5 years from hospital discharge.
Coexistence of Cerebral and Coronary Atherosclerosis in Acute Ischemic Cerebrovascular Disease Patients Registry (CoCCA) is a single-center observational registry of patients hospitalized for acute ischemic cerebrovascular disease (AICVD) with atherosclerotic changes in both cerebral and coronary arteries. This registry aims to establish quantified risk stratification and prognostic models, as well as suggest effective diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.
Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is a visceral adipose tissue that surrounds the heart and the coronary arteries. It is metabolically active, secreting pro- and anti-inflammatory mediators and cytokines. With increasing EAT volume, inflammatory activity increasing, which suggests that EAT may locally influence atherosclerosis development in the coronary artery tree. The amount of EAT is associated with cardiovascular disease risk factors as well as presence and progression of subclinical atherosclerosis. Likewise, EAT volume is increased in patient with prevalent and incident coronary artery disease manifestation. In the setting of acute coronary syndrome, EAT was found to be associated with the TIMI risk score and Syntax II score. While CT imaging of the heart is the gold standard for EAT quantification, transthoracic echocardiography allows for a quick and reliable assessment of EAT thickness, as has been used in research studies and may qualify for routine EAT assessment in clinical routine.However, currently data on how quantification of EAT in clinical routine may impact patient management is lacking. We aim to investigate, whether quantification of EAT thickness via transthoracic echocardiography enables improved risk stratification in patients presenting with acute chest pain to the emergency department.
The main objection is to investigate molecular biology of myocardial damage during cardiac surgery procedures.
Evaluation of outcomes of coronary artery bypass grafting.
The PRECISE PERCUTANEOUS CORONARY INTERVENTION (PCI) PLAN STUDY is an investigator-initiated, international and multicenter study of patients with an indication for PCI aiming at assessing the agreement and accuracy of the HeartFlow Planner with invasive fractional flow reserve (FFR) as a reference.
