View clinical trials related to Myocardial Ischemia.
Filter by:This study focuses on patients with incomplete revascularization combined with renal insufficiency. And since heart and kidney are two organs influence each other, the study take the mechanism of heart and kidney comorbidity and the risk factors of the two organs.As one of the traditional Chinese sports, Tai Chi is an aerobic exercise combineing movements with static postures, which can significantly improve the aerobic endurance of patients with coronary heart disease. In this study, a parallel, randomized controlled study method is used to quantitatively evaluate the myocardial ischemia condition by myocardial perfusion imaging indicators. This study aims to figure out whether the cardiac rehabilitation training program based on Tai Chi has a positive effect on the patients' myocardial ischemic.
The incidence of coronary heart disease in young people is not uncommon and the investigators will explore the factors contributing to this outcome
Colchicine has been widely used as an anti-gout medicine in the past decades. Some recent clinical trials have proved that low-dose colchicine can be used as a secondary prevention drug for coronary artery disease because of its anti-inflammatory mechanism. However, the effect on primary prevention has not been observed sufficiently. The objective of this study is to determine whether colchicine reduces the incidence of CAD in patients and its safety for long-term use.
This study is a prospective, no-randomized, single-center study performed on 15000 consecutive coronary artery patients from Dec. 2016 to Oct. 2021. All these patients were detected CYP2C19 genotype. The antiplatelet treatment was recorded according to the therapy actually adopted by the patients.
Oat fibre has been shown to lower cholesterol and may have cardioprotective effects. However, whether this translates to actual cardiovascular risk reduction is unclear, as there is a lack of controlled human trials. To address this uncertainty, the investigator proposes to use established cardiovascular disease risk scores, such as those recommended by the Canadian Cardiovascular Society and other clinical practice groups, to create composite risk scores in assessing future risk. The data on oat fibre will be collected through a systematic review of controlled trials, composite cardiovascular risk scores will be calculated for each eligible study, and meta-analyses will be conducted to assess the overall effect. The findings generated by this proposed knowledge synthesis will help improve the health of consumers through informing evidence-based guidelines and improving health outcomes by educating healthcare providers and patients, stimulating industry innovation, and guiding future research design.
The investigators propose to genotype males and females at age 40 years and older, who are asymptomatic and without known heart disease (N=2000). DNA from a blood sample will be genotyped for millions of genetic risk variants for CAD by Baylor College of Medicine Human Genome Sequencing Center Clinical Laboratory (HGSC-CL) in a CLIA-approved laboratory. The overall objective after 2 years is to determine if genetic screening for risk of CAD in asymptomatic men and women has the discriminatory power to detect those at highest risk who would potentially benefit most from appropriate primary prevention. It will also determine whether the GRS is appropriate for different ethnic and race groups such as Hispanics, African Americans and Whites, and to what extent those individuals knowing that they are at higher risk, are more likely to seek further advice on management of the risks (either through changes in lifestyle or therapy).
Being born small increases your risk of developing Type 2 diabetes (T2D) with age. Furthermore, data even suggest that some of the diseases ("complications") in the eyes, kidneys, nerves, liver, blood vessels and heart often seen in T2D patients may not only be due to high blood sugar levels, but rather they to some extent are due to reduced growth in your mother´s womb. The Inter99 cohort included 6784 Danish citizens aged 30 to 60 years when established 20 years ago. Data from the Inter99 cohort showed a strong role of low birth weight (LBW) on T2D risk. The aim is now to reexamine risk of T2D and complications in all the alive 6004 elderly Inter99 participants. Importantly, today there are available techniques to perform detailed examinations for even the earliest signs of complications in both subjects with and without diabetes, and the results of this study will altogether provide important new insights into both the origin and classification of T2D and associated complications. It is hypothesized that being born with lower birth weights increases the adult risk of T2D and heart disease and associated complications in the large and smaller blood vessels.
Prospective, interventional, multicentre, non-randomized, single-arm open-label study that aims to enroll 200 consecutive patients with suspected chronic ischemic heart disease in the absence of obstructive coronary artery disease (INOCA) at clinically indicated coronary angiography in 3 Italian centers. During coronary angiography, these patients will be simultaneously subjected to a functional and coronary physiology study (according to the methods reported below): - Functional evaluation with fractional flow reserve (FFR), instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR), Resting Full-Cycle Ratio (RFR) of angiographic stenosis> 50%; - In the presence of coronary angiographic stenosis <50% or> 50% but in the presence of a negative functional assessment (FFR> 0.80 and iFR / RFR> 0.90), coronary flow reserve (CFR) and index of microvascular resistance (IMR) will be measured. IMR and CFR will be assessed using intra-coronary guidance; - In the presence of CFR> 2.0 and IMR <25, tests with acetylcholine will also be performed in order to evaluate the possible presence of epicardial (focal or diffuse) or microvascular spasm.
This multicenter study involved 5 hospitals (Changhai Hospital; Yueyang Hospital of Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine; Gongli Hospital; Putuo Hospital of Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine; No. 904 Hospital of the PLA Joint Logistics Support Force Wuxi). The study enrolled 3637 patients with coronary atherosclerosis who were confirmed by coronary angiography from January 2017 through December 2018.
Anomalous Aortic Origin of the Coronary Arteries (AAOCA) is a rare congenital disease that may cause sudden death in young subjects. Frequently the first and only presentation is with an acute event (such as myocardial infarction or sudden cardiac deaths) during physical effort. Not only symptoms are often absent, but also provocative tests fail to induce ischemia or related signs, showing in most patients negative results. For these limitations, the decision to undergo corrective surgery is based on the morphologic characteristics without the support of a functional evaluation. The study focused on developing a personalized ischemic risk assessment with the aid of fluid dynamic simulations. The simulation system integrate clinical data from different diagnostic sources and integrate them with coronary blood flow evaluation at rest and during simulated physical effort.
