Filter by:The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the (statistical) non-inferiority of iobitridol (Xenetix® 350) when compared to contrast agents with higher iodine concentrations, iopromide (Ultravist® 370) and iomeprol (Iomeron® 400) in terms of coronary CT scan evaluability (quality and interpretability of images).
The rationale of the present clinical trial is to study whether an invasive strategy in clinical stable patients over 80 years with NSTEMI/UAP may improve rates of death, reinfarction, stroke, need of urgent revascularisation, myocardial function and quality of life. The invasive approach involves coronary angiography with immediate evaluation for three different treatment options; 1. Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), 2. Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) or 3. medical treatment. Clinical practice shows that older patients are commonly treated less vigorously than younger patients and the present guidelines are based on a considerably younger population.
In this study, we evaluate the acute coronary syndrome patients to see if there is correlation between platelet activity, genetic polymorphism (CYP2C19 and ABCB1), serum adipokines level, and Clopidogrel responsiveness.
To perform a randomized comparison between the Cypher Select+ stent and the Nobori stent in the treatment of unselected patients with ischaemic heart disease.
The study aimed to prospectively investigate the prevalence of myocardial scar on Dotarem-enhanced Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in asymptomatic patients with type-2 Diabetes Mellitus and to assess its correlation with subclinical coronary artery disease on Cardiac Computed Tomography Angiography (CCTA).
The purpose of the e-BioMatrix PMS registry is to capture clinical data of the BioMatrix (Biolimus A9-Eluting) stent system in relation to safety and effectiveness.
This study will determine whether the psychological and physical benefits of expressive writing extend to obese in-patients with Ischemic Heart Disease (IHD)referred to cardiac rehabilitation
The use of the IABP, in addition to standard care, in high-risk cardiac patients undergoing major noncardiac surgery is feasible and may result in improved perioperative outcomes at 30 days compared with standard care alone, while maintaining acceptable safety with respect to vascular accesss-related complications.
In this study, 80 coronary artery disease patients with successful coronary revascularisation (by CABG or PCI) will be included. Patients are excluded in case of: congestive heart failure, ICD or pacemaker, any disability limiting exercise participation. These patients are attending phase 2-3 cardiac rehabilitation, and have completed 6 weeks of rehabilitation. Next, subjects are randomly assigned to a control group or an intervention group. Outcome parameters: physical activity, exercise capacity, blood glucose, insulin level and lipid profile, body weight and waist circumference, cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Hypothesis: telemonitoring of physical activity will increase physical activity, and improve cardiovascular disease risk factors, in CAD patients attending phase 2-3 cardiac rehabilitation.
To investigate whether the use of Corus CAD (Age/Sex/Gene Expression score - ASGES) blood assay changes the diagnostic testing pattern in patients referred to a cardiologist for the evaluation of chest pain or anginal equivalent symptoms.
