Filter by:The purpose of this study is to examine the role of every day experiences as they relate to coronary artery disease (CAD).
The purpose of this study is to assess the pharmacodynamic effect of ticagrelor in African American patients with stable coronary artery disease.
The purpose of this study is to assess the pharmacodynamic effect of ticagrelor in Hispanic patients with stable coronary artery disease.
Primary To investigate whether peripheral predonditioning induced by brief, intermittent constriction of blood supply to an arm can reduce the incidence of perioperative myocardial ischemia in patients operated electively for infrarenal aortic aneurysm. Secondary To investigate the impact of peripheral preconditioning on perioperative inflammatory response. To investigate whether peripheral preconditoning can protect against perioperative myocardial infarction and reduced cardiac pump function.
To demonstrate that using continuous mechanical lung ventilatory support in combination with Positive End Expiratory Pressure (PEEP)during open heart surgery will improve lung function and decrease lung complications after surgery.
Cardiac rehabilitation is an individual adapted multidisciplinary intervention for people suffering from Heart Disease. It involves; - Dietary counseling, - Exercise training, - Psychosocial support, - Physician - smoking cessation - Patient education The purpose is quick and complete recovery and to reduce the chance of recurrence. In Denmark people admitted with Acute Cardiac Disease is referred to a course of hospital based cardiac rehabilitation at discharge. The Danish Municipal Reform of 2007 changed the responsibility of rehabilitation from the Regions, who runs the hospitals, to the municipalities. Shared care is in this setting that elements of treatment are completed different places in Health Care. The aim of this study is: - to establish a shared care model for Cardiac rehabilitation following admission with Acute Coronary Syndrome and - to compare this model to the existing hospital based cardiac rehabilitation after admission with Acute Coronary Syndrome. Primary outcome is participation in cardiac rehabilitation.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of omega 3 on biomarkers of cardiac necrosis(CKMB and troponin I) and inflammation marker CRP.
A large number of cardiac catheterizations are performed each year, primarily to diagnose heart disease. However, a cardiac catheterization is an invasive procedure which is associated with serious complications such as heart infarction, stroke, and death. Therefore, there is a need for non-invasive procedures to diagnose coronary heart disease. The purpose of this study is, therefore, to assess the diagnostic accuracy of non-invasive cardiac imaging modalities for the detection of heart disease in patients presenting for the first time to the cardiologist with chest pain.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate patency rates of the eSVS Mesh Saphenous Vein Graph (SVG) and control SVG at six and twenty-four months via coronary angiography and analyses of Duplex Sonography Results and coronary angiography and major cardiovascular or cerebrovascular event (MACCE)-Rate as well as analysis of preoperative great saphenous vein (GSV) duplex sonography and intra-operative GSV harvesting findings and procedure.
Coronary artery disease results in narrowing of the blood vessels supplying oxygenated blood to the heart muscle. Diagnosis in patients with symptoms of chest pain is now quickly done with CT coronary angiography. This x-ray test can show narrowed blood vessels but has limited ability to predict the severity of the narrowings in some cases. We have described a new approach using PET exercise 18F-FDG imaging as a method to image areas of heart muscle not getting enough blood during exercise stress. The 18F-FDG images are co-registered with the CT anatomy from the CTA to provide direct evidence of the consequences of the narrowing.
