Filter by:The primary objective of this study is to test the hypothesis that myocardial perfusion heterogeneity, quantified by Markovian Homogeneity analysis of cardiac PET perfusion images, will improve in a quantitative manner after treatment with selective ETA receptor antagonist darusentan 100 mg per day for 2 weeks compared to baseline and post-treatment PET scans in clinically stable subjects with coronary atherosclerosis and/or risk factors.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether exposure to diesel exhaust (air pollution) has a functional impact on patients with stable angina pectoris.
Concomitant AF ablation with HIFU in patients with persistent or long standing persistent AF undergoing CABG will be superior in restoring SR, compared with patients with persistent or long standing persistent AF undergoing CABG treated with best medical treatment according to ACC/AHA/ESC 2006 guidelines and no AF ablation.
The aim of this study is to investigate the accuracy, safety and robustness of a single-input-single output (SISO) model-based predictive closed-loop system to guide patient-individualized ICU sedation.
The aim of this trial is to evaluate whether a reduction in the heparin dose from 140 to 100 U/kg is associated with a better net clinical outcome in patients undergoing PCI after pretreatment with 600mg clopidogrel
Safety and dosimetry of BFPET™ will be evaluated in healthy volunteers and Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) patients , male or female and of age ranging between 20-80 years old.
Subjects with impaired glucose tolerance will be randomized to either rosiglitazone or placebo for a 18 month period. The study will look at baseline, 12 month and 18 month data for exercise tolerance, coronary artery calcification and diabetes indicators.
Percutaneous coronary intervention with stent implantation is limited on the one hand by restenosis due to smooth muscle cell proliferation and on the other hand by stent thrombosis due to incomplete or not sufficient enough endothelialization of stent struts. The Genous stent implantation allows a rapid layer over the stent struts with endothelial progenitor cells allowing a fast endothelialization and probably reducing the risk of stent thrombosis. Local therapy with drug-eluting balloons administering paclitaxel has been shown to reduce restenosis in in-stent restenosis and de-novo lesions in vessels with small reference diameter. The combination of a paclitaxel-eluting balloon and Genous stent implantation may summarized both advantages: a rapid endothelialization limiting the number of stent thrombosis and on the other hand a reduction of smooth muscle cell proliferation minimizing the risk of restenosis with the subsequent need for revascularization.
This trial is to assess physician-determined XIENCE V® EECSS acute performance, deliverability and resource utilization in the catheterization lab during commercial use by various physicians with a range of coronary stenting experience
The purpose of this study is to determine whether polymorphisms in G protein subunits, namely Galphas and Galphaq, are associated with altered cardiac performance in heart failure patients.
