Filter by:This pilot study seeks to compare the change in energy expenditure and fitness levels of patients seen in the Children's Hospital Preventive Cardiology program receiving standard of care provider exercise counseling to similar patients receiving Frequency, Intensity, Time, Type (FITT) exercise prescription and counseling combined with BodyMedia supported by an online interactive tool. The investigators primary hypothesis is that this interactive technology coupled with support from a exercise specialist will increase the energy expenditure of the investigators patients over standard of care provider counseling. The investigators Secondary hypotheses include greater improvement in measured physical fitness Peak oxygen consumption (VO2max), oxygen consumption (VO2) at anaerobic threshold (AT) and ventilation/carbon dioxide (VE/VCO2) slope, lipid profiles, blood pressure, arterial stiffness, body mass index (BMI), BMI percentile, and self-efficacy in the intervention group compared to control.
Direct non-invasive coronary imaging by computed tomography (CT) has the potential to improve the workup of patients with stable chest pain complaints. The objective of the study is to compare in a randomized fashion the effectiveness and efficiency of a CT angiographic driven workup of suspected coronary artery disease in comparison to the standard workup using stress testing.
This is a prospective, observational, cohort study to evaluate the relative efficacy and safety of Resolute Integrity stent compared to other (drug eluting stents) DES.
Esophageal electrocardiography (eECG) has important advantages compared to standard ECG recordings. Coronary artery disease leading to myocardial ischemia is very common and has potentially severe consequences for patients. To date, the investigators don't know the influence of ischemia on the eECG. The goal of the present study is to assess ischemic changes of the eECG induced by balloon occlusion of coronary arteries in patients undergoing coronary angiography.
Are novel vascular closure devices noninferior to manual compression regarding access site complications after coronary angiography?
This is a randomized, open-label, single-dose, two-sequence, two-period crossover study to investigate the pharmacokinetics between a tablet containing 75 mg of Clopidogrel and 100 mg of Aspirin and the simultaneous administration of the separate formulations of the two drugs in healthy male volunteers.
The primary objective of this observational study is to evaluate the function (patency) of cryopreserved saphenous vein allografts used as coronary artery bypass grafts (CABG) for patients with occlusive coronary artery disease.
To prospectively evaluate in a multicenter open label trial whether the use of zotarolimus-eluting ENDEAVOR Stent implantation in patients at low restenosis or at high bleeding or thrombotic risk will decrease the incidence of 12-month major adverse cardiac events (MACE) including overall death, any myocardial infarction (MI) or any target vessel revascularization (TVR).
- Fimasartan will be more beneficial in stabilizing the plaque vulnerability compared to control group in deferred coronary lesions. - Fimasartan will be more beneficial in reducing total plaque volume compared to control group in deferred coronary lesions. - Fimasartan will be more beneficial in reducing functional impairment of stenotic lesions (assessed by FFR:Fractional Flow Reserve) in deferred coronary lesions.
The study aims at pooling a large population of patients with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD) who underwent Computed Tomography Coronary Angiography (CTCA) and who were adequately stratified in the first place. Then the investigators will be able to assess the incremental value of CTCA in the stratification of prevalence of disease (non obstructive/obstructive) and prognosis of patients with suspected CAD). The added information to current evidence is how reliable and to what extent CTCA can define the actual burden of disease and cardiovascular risk.
