Filter by:The aim of the study is to compare the effect of water-based and land-based exercise training, and usual care (no exercise training) in patient with coronary artery disease, on exercise capacity, vascular function, arrhythmogenic potential and cardiac autonomic function, and markers of neurohormonal activity, activated hemostasis and inflammation.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether ABSORB bioresorbable vascular scaffold is non-inferior to XIENCE everolimus-eluting cobalt-chromium stent with respect to target-lesion failure (TLF) at 1 year.
This study evaluates the effects of emotional status on coronary flow in patients undergoing elective coronary angiography. Patients whom undergoing elective coronary angiography will fulfill the Beck Anxiety Inventory, Beck Depression Inventory, State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. State Anxiety Inventory will be fulfilled both before the intervention and after 1 hour the patients learned the results of the coronary angiography. The other scales will be performed after 1 hour the patients learned their results. Coronary flow will be assessed by TIMI (Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction) frame count method.
Laugh is more than visual and vocal behave, is always followed by a series of physiological changes, including contractions of musculoskeletal system, increase of cardiac frequency by catecholamine release and hyperventilation that promoves the increase of maximum breathing and oxygen saturation. Laugh therapy may be an alternative therapy, simple, and improve the quality of life of individuals can influence physiological and biochemical parameters of the human body.
Exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation (CR) has been shown to consistently reduce the rates of total and cardiovascular-related mortality and morbidity. Sedentary behaviours have been shown to be high in patients with cardiovascular disease, but it is not yet known if current CR programming results in significant reductions in these behaviours, or whether a targeted component is warranted. It is also unclear if self-reported sedentary time measures can provide valid and reliable information for monitoring these behaviours in a CR setting, or whether more objective measures are needed. The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility and usability of the activPAL3 devices for measuring sedentary time in a CR setting, describe changes in sedentary time that occur with standard CR and assess whether the addition of prompting cues from a device can result in further declines in sedentary behaviour and improvements in clinical outcomes, health related quality of life, symptoms of anxiety and depression, aortic stiffness, and aerobic capacity.
Design: The proposed study is a randomized study comparing the relative effectiveness of three lesion modification strategies (RA, SBS, or OAS) in the treatment of obstructive CCLs using the change in lumen size measurements (MLA, RLA, MSA and the ratio of MSA/MLA) obtained with IVUS or OCT. Patients will be blinded to treatment assignment for the duration of the study. Treatment: Patients who are randomized to RA will undergo coronary wiring of the CCL and subsequent advancement of the RA burr. The RA system is performed using standard technique under intravenous infusion of heparin. The atherectomy burr size will be determined by the operator. Patients who are randomized to OAS will undergo coronary wiring of the CCL and subsequent advancement of the OAS according to the manufacturer's guidelines. Control: Patients who are randomized to SBS will undergo coronary wiring and balloon inflation with SBS performed by standard technique under intravenous infusion of heparin. SBS will be used according to the AngioSculpt manufacturer's guidelines. Duration: 30 days follow-up. The primary trial objective is to determine which of the three treatment strategies for treating calcified coronary lesions (RA, SBS, or OA) is superior for obtaining higher ratio of final in-stent minimum lumen area/reference lumen area, as determined by IVUS or OCT (primary study endpoint). The secondary objectives are to compare the following: 1. Difference in pre- vs. post-treatment minimum lumen area (MLA, lumen area gain), as determined by IVUS or OCT (secondary endpoint) 2. Mean final minimal stent area (MSA), as assessed by IVUS or OCT (secondary endpoint) 3. Ratio of final in-stent minimum lumen diameter/reference lumen diameter, as determined by quantitative coronary angiography (secondary endpoint) 4. Incidence of major adverse cardiac events (death, myocardial infarction, target vessel revascularization) during 30 days of follow-up (secondary endpoints) 5. Procedure time, fluoroscopy time, and contrast volume (secondary endpoints)
The aim of this study is to evaluate and describe the total coronary circulation time (TCCT) by using TIMI frame count method in patients performed coronary angiography. TCCT is described as an angiographic index which is the sum of the frame count of coronary artery and venous system. This study also evaluates the relationship between the diseases in arterial system such as coronary artery ectasia, coronary slow flow, coronary artery disease and coronary venous pathologies.
The registry will investigate the clinical performance and long-term safety of Magmaris in a real world setting
The CARDIOFLOW study compares the standard test, a pressure wire test called fractional flow reserve (FFR), with a new method that is based on taking a detailed "3D" ECG called Cardiogoniometry (CGM). FFR is an angiographic technique which measures the physiological significance of a coronary stenosis and trial data has shown that basing management decisions on this data improves prognosis. However FFR studies are expensive and invasive, whereas CGM is painless and simply involves placing 4 sticky pads to the patient's chest / back and is similar to an ECG (heart tracing). The investigators want to see whether we can use this new method to find out whether treatment with coronary angioplasty would be of benefit. If so, then in the future, clinicians could use this method (CGM) rather than pressure wire assessment (FFR). This would have several advantages; in particular, it can be easily performed in the clinic and avoids the need to use an expensive pressure wire.
The primary objective is to determine whether IVUS- (vs. OCT-) guided BVS implantation is non-inferior to achieve a large in-scaffold minimal lumen area (primary endpoint) measured by OCT at 1-year follow-up.
