Filter by:ORBID-OA is a single-center, observational study in 30 patients with stable coronary artery disease. The aim of the study is to analyze the outcomes of main vessel stenting on side branch in calcified bifurcation lesion and identify preprocedural predictors of side branch complication by utilizing two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) frequency domain optical coherence tomography (FD-OCT).
Hypothesis: The "novo" cardiovascular events (CVE)in patients with severe community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) are frequent (17%) and could be associated with both direct pneumococcal myocardial invasion, toxin delivery (pneumolysin) or different biomarkers (histones, NETs(neutrophil extracellular traps), IL (Interleukin)-1b,h-Fabp (heart-Fatty acid bindding protein) ).The CVE frequency and its impact on outcome in patients without prior heart disease (CP) has not been studied. Objectives:1) To determine the incidence of myocardian injury (MI) and CVE in patients with CAP without CP evaluated by non-invasive techniques (Echocardiograph and MRI) and biomarkers levels (Tn-I (Troponin I), h-Fabp, NT-proBNP (N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide) histones, NETs, IL 1b); 2) To assess if DMA and CVE are related to the etiology and their impact on outcome , 3) To investigate the presence of myocardial scarring by MRI and its relationship with etiology and MI, and 4) To identify prognostic factors of DMA and CVE to determine level of risk.
This was a prospective randomized, controlled trial designed to quantify the reduction in cost and length of stay of early discharge of emergency department patients evaluated for acute myocardial infarction, who are deemed to be low risk based on a modified HEART score (a score that incorporates troponin biomarker, ecg, patient characteristics, and physician clinical judgment).
This project is designed to demonstrate equivalence of Dotarem enhanced LGE-CMR (late gadolinium enhancement cardiac MRI) with Gadoviost enhanced LGE-CMR from the standpoint of visual image quality, quantitative image quality, and association with clinical outcomes.
Investigators try to assess the safety of 6-months or 12-months maintenance of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT, aspirin + clopidogrel) in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention using the Zotarolimus-eluting, Resolute Integrity™ stent (Medtronic Vascular Inc, Santa Rosa, CA) or the BioMatrix™ stent (Biosensors. Singapore).
The Fractional Flow Reserve Fax Registry is an investigator-initiated, real-world registry to analyze the use of fractional flow reserve (FFR) measurements in clinical practice in cardiac catheterization laboratories in Germany. The registry aims to collect the data of 2000 patients who underwent FFR recordings for clinical reasons. The main outcome parameter is the frequency of coronary revascularization following FFR. Secondary outcome parameters include the distribution of quantitative FFR results in clinical practice, the influence of intracoronary versus intravenous adenosine on the distribution of FFR results, the rate of complications as a result of FFR measurements, the average number of FFR wires needed per patient. Since the study will include a large number of patients who undergo i.c. administration of adenosine and a large number of patients who undergo i.v. administration of adenosine, it will be possible to analyze whether the route of adenosine administration is an independent predictor of the FFR result.
The aim of this study was to determine the diagnostic accuracy of SURECardio CT-FFR to detect functionally significant coronary stenosis.
Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a public health care challenge. There are three types of treatment for CHD, medication, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and coronary artery bypass graft (CABG). However, some end-stage CHD patients lost the chance to get those treatment. Cardiac shock wave therapy (CSWT) is a new developed therapy for these patients, which is used in tens of countries all over the world. Safety, invasiveness, effectiveness is its advantage. Ischemia condition can be improved after CSWT. There are only three cities in China run the program of CSWT, which are Kunming, Beijing and Shanghai. The investigators designed a randomized double-blind study to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of CSWT.
The aim of the study is to compare different devices available to measure fractional flow reserve (FFR) in coronary arteries.
A prospective, open label, multi-center, single arm, observational study designed to evaluate the acute safety and device procedural success of the Sapphire II PRO 1.0 and 1.25 mm PTCA dilatation catheters in subjects with stenotic coronary arteries or bypass grafts during percutaneous coronary intervention. Sixty (60) subjects will be treated at up to 5 U.S. sites with the Sapphire II PRO diameters 1.0 and 1.25 mm PTCA dilatation catheters to pre-dilate coronary arteries or bypass grafts during their index procedure. All subjects will be screened according to the protocol inclusion and exclusion criteria and will be followed through hospital discharge.
