View clinical trials related to Myocardial Ischemia.
Filter by:To determine the relative risk in a defined population of angiographically demonstrated coronary artery disease due to genetic polymorphisms at the four apolipoprotein genomic regions.
To determine if silent myocardial ischemia was associated with an increased risk of cardiac mortality and morbidity during a one to three year follow-up in patients with coronary heart disease.
To determine the predictors of perioperative cardiac morbidity and mortality in patients at high risk who underwent major noncardiac surgery with general anesthesia.
To further define the linkage of the Apo A-I gene polymorphism to genetic high density lipoprotein (HDL) deficiency and premature coronary artery disease. Also, to utilize this gene marker to define the prevalence of genetic HDL deficiency in patients with premature coronary disease and to determine the relative risk of premature coronary disease associated with the Apo A-I gene polymorphism.
In the first study, to identify children at high and low risk for cardiovascular disease and study their nutritional and physical activity behaviors as they relate to cardiovascular disease. In the second study, to make yearly assessments over a four year period of diet and physical activity among children and their parents. The initial effort redefined and retested methods to collect data on dietary intake and activity levels of young children.
To field test the validity, reliability, cost, and cost-benefit of Health Risk Appraisal (HRA) instruments.
To determine the role of genetic factors in predicting resistance and susceptibility to coronary artery disease.
To measure associations of established and suspected coronary heart disease risk factors with both atherosclerosis and new coronary heart disease events in representative cohorts from four diverse United States communities. To compare the communities with respect to risk factors, medical care, atherosclerosis, and coronary heart disease incidence. ARIC has two components in each community: study of representative cohorts of adult men and women, and community surveillance of morbidity and mortality.
To continue a registry of World War II veteran twins maintained by the National Academy of Sciences-National Research Council (NAS-NRC).
To assess genetic effects on the variation of cardiovascular and pulmonary risk factors in a cohort of 514 pairs of white male veteran twins.
