Filter by:This protocol describes a study whose goal is to collect de-identified Cardiac CT Perfusion (CTP) acquisition parameters and clinical findings from approximately 20 qualified medical facilities. The study uses an electronic data capture tool to collect the de-identified data to create a global multi-center registry. This registry will be used for scientific analysis and publication of pertinent medical trends such as CT utilization, radiation dose, and common cardiovascular findings.
To investigate the effect of milk delivered from mountain-pasture grazing cows on risk markers of the metabolic syndrome and type-2 diabetes with the effect of conventional Danish milk. The study should reveal the importance of phytanic acid content for these effects.
The aim of the study is to investigate if cow feeding regimes affects concentration of plasma phytanic acid and risk markers of the metabolic syndrome in human.
Heparin, a blood thinner, is used routinely in Open-heart surgery. Do different brands of this drug have differing clinical effects despite both having exactly the same regulation and marketing specifications?
The PROMUS Element™ clinical trial (PLATINUM-PLUS) consists of a randomized controlled trial (RCT) in the European Union (EU) which will enroll approximately 2980 subjects (2:1 randomization PROMUS Element™: Xience™ Prime) in a Population of consecutive, all comers in the reimbursed indications per-country All subjects will be screened per the protocol required inclusion/exclusion criteria.
In 2005, more then one-third of Canadians were burdened with one or more chronic diseases. Patients with one chronic disease often have, or are at risk for, another chronic disease. This group of complex patients represents a substantial challenge to healthcare resources. For patients in rural communities, the opportunity to attend ambulatory care clinics is not always an option. Additionally, the opportunity for rural patients to receive quality care close to, or within their homes, is of great benefit as it reduces the need for extensive travel and the potential burden of clinical visits. The use of telehealth has been identified as an effective modality for chronic disease management and is actively promoted by national organizations as having great promise for health service delivery in rural areas. The Internet as a mode for healthcare delivery has numerous advantages: 1. it is ubiquitous with increasing access in all age groups, 2. it is inexpensive, 3. it facilitates both patient data transfer and patient feedback, thereby supporting patient self-management, 4. it is scalable to large patient volumes, 5. it delivers health care directly to the patient and 6. it requires minimal set-up for patients with current Internet access. The investigators propose to develop and evaluate a multi-chronic disease management program delivered through the Internet (with telephone supports) focused on high-impact chronic diseases targeted to patients in rural communities. This study will consist of a single-blinded randomized controlled trial to investigate the efficacy of the iCDM in 318 patients with two or more of the target chronic diseases living in rural areas. Within this Aim, the investigators will be able to address the following research questions: Q1. What is the effect of iCDM on healthcare utilization and patient self-management outcomes? Q2. What is the long-term compliance to the iCDM? Q3. What is the level of patient and provider satisfaction?
This research study is designed to test the use of ranolazine in patients with angina (chest discomfort due to reduced blood supply to the heart) due to microvascular coronary dysfunction (MCD; abnormalities in the small blood vessels of the heart). This drug is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for treatment of chronic angina. The FDA has approved this drug based on studies primarily on patients with chronic angina with major blockages of the arteries.
The purpose of this study is to elaborate an educative program that includes telephone follow-up and assess its impact on the perceived health status of patients submitted to percutaneous coronary intervention.
The purpose of this study is to compare Multidetector Computed Tomography (MDCT) and Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) stress myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) with regadenoson in order to detect the presence or absence of reversible defects.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the in-stent late lumen loss (LLL) at 9 months, defined as the difference between the post-procedure minimal lumen diameter (MLD) and the follow-up angiography MLD, of the Resolute Zotarolimus-Eluting Coronary Stent System compared to Taxus Liberte Paclitaxel-Eluting Coronary Stent System in a real-world all-comer patient population requiring stent implantation.
