Filter by:- The prediction of extent and risk profile of coronary atherosclerosis based on clinical evaluation and non-invasive techniques. - Detailed analysis of plaque volume, plaque composition, risk plaque features and shear stress (WSS) changes during lipid lowering therapy (rosuvastatin 40mg) from 3D vessel reconstruction. - Prediction of changes in coronary arteries based on changes in non-invasive examinations. - Examination of WSS influence on atherosclerosis development and changes of WSS during lipid lowering therapy.
Despite several large clinical trials clearly establishing that coronary revascularization (i.e. percutaneous coronary intervention - PCI) does not prolong survival or prevent myocardial infarction (MI) for stable coronary artery disease (CAD), patients with stable angina continue to believe that PCI is performed to improve these outcomes. Additionally, recent concerns have emerged of overuse of PCI among patients with little or no angina. Thus there is a compelling need to share with patients the risks and benefits of PCI prior to treatment to reach an informed decision. This study is designed to answer the question of whether a decision aid can improve patient knowledge, decisional conflict and patient satisfaction with decision-making compared to usual care for the treatment of stable angina.
Chronic treatment of stable angina with nitrates long and short action is extremely frequent. In clinical practice the most commonly observed is a combination of anti-anginal agents, usually including nitrates fixed in an attempt to improve the quality of life of patients, which is not always met with success. Numerous questions and problems are seen with chronic use of oral nitrates. From a practical standpoint, some advocate the withdrawal of medication in stable patients, while many physicians still hesitate to withdraw the medication by the lack of definitive information about its consequences. In this sense there is a rationale for the attempted removal of nitrate fixed these patients, although evidence to support this action have not been adequately evaluated.
This study investigates whether chronic heart rate reduction with ivabradine (Procoralan®, Servier, France) affects aortic compliance and endothelial function in patients with chronic stable coronary artery disease.
Centralized Pan-Algerian Survey on the undertreatment of hypercholesterolemia. The purpose of this study is to establish the proportion of patients on lipid-lowering pharmacological treatment reaching the LDL-C goals according to the Third Joint European Task Force guidelines in the survey population.
To demonstrate that patients treated with cangrelor can be directly switched to oral ticagrelor and that patients treated with ticagrelor can be switched to cangrelor without a significant decrease in the extent of inhibition of platelet aggregation.
The purpose of this 4 group (2x2) pilot randomized controlled trial is to test the feasibility and logistics of incorporating genetic risk information (9p21)into standard Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) risk counseling or health coaching intervention (or both) in primary care at 2 Duke Clinics.
