Filter by:This randomized study is a multi-center, randomized, study to compare the efficacy of biolimus A9-eluting stent (Nobori) vs. everolimus-eluting stent (Promus Element) for long coronary lesions.
The purpose of this study is to establish the safety and effectiveness of coronary stenting with the Zotarolimus-Eluting stent compared to the Sirolimus-Eluting stent in the treatment of de novo coronary stenosis in patients with diabetic patients.
This randomized study is a multi-center, randomized, study to compare the efficacy of sirolimus (Cypher) versus zotarolimus-eluting stent (Endeavor Resolute) implantation for long coronary lesions.
The objective of the RAPID GENE study is to evaluate the feasibility, efficacy and safety of a pharmacogenomic approach to anti-platelet therapy following coronary artery stenting using a CYP2C19*2 point-of-care genetic test.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of Vitamin D supplementation on cardiovascular disease and certain cells (T-regulatory cells) in the body that play a role in plaque formation in arteries. This study will determine the levels of Vitamin D and T-regulatory cells in subjects with coronary artery disease and if Vitamin D supplementation will affect future events such as heart attach and stroke.
1. To evaluate the role of VerifyNow test as prognostic marker in routine clinical practice using drug-eluting stents. 2. To determine the add-on-effect of VerifyNow test beyond on conventional risk factors (clinical, lesions, or procedural factors). 3. To compare the prognostic utility of VerifyNow test with several biomarkers.
The main aim of the investigation is to clarify, whether vitamin D supplementation in coronary artery disease patients with vitamin D deficiency and postchallenge hyperglycemia has an impact on endothelial dysfunction and parameters of insulin sensitivity and beta-cell function.
Aim of the study is to compare the everolimus eluting stent and sirolimus eluting stent in all comers PCI eligible patients
The purpose of this Clinical Evaluation is the continued assessment of the XIENCE Everolimus Eluting Coronary Stent System (XIENCE V® and XIENCE PRIME™ EECSS) with the primary focus on clinical outcomes in the treatment of female patients with de novo coronary artery lesions, and the characterization of the female population undergoing stent implantation with a XIENCE stent.
Until now it has been assumed that regular endurance training has a positive influence on cardiac function and that the positive effect increases with increasing intensity. However, little is known about the effects of intense endurance stress on the heart. According to current knowledge repeated exposure to strenuous endurance activity may lead to minor but possibly irreversible damage to the heart with resultant scarring of the heart's muscle. Within this study we attempt to find out by different analytical methods - in particular magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ultrasound of the heart - to what extent the heart muscle is affected by an intense endurance exercise, i.e. the "Jungfrau-Marathon", and which changes can possibly be found. Due to repeated measurements we will obtain further information on the short-term course of possible changes. Hypotheses: A single bout of prolonged strenuous exercise (PSE) leads to transient alteration in cardiac function accompanied by the appearance of biomarkers for myocardial damage.
