Filter by:To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of computed tomography angiography in the diagnostic and therapeutic cycle as the first-choice method of imaging in the diagnosis of patients with a high probability of stable coronary artery disease according to European Society of Cardiology recommendations.
After successful coronary angiography and OCT examination, patients with TCFAs in non-culprit, mild-to-moderate stenotic lesions will be enrolled. Then, they will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive either atorvastatin (20 mg/day) alone or atorvastatin (20 mg/day）plus ezetimibe（10 mg/day）by envelope method. Angiographic and OCT follow-up will be scheduled for the target vessel after 12 months.
The NIA algorithm is similar to the traditional 12-lead ECG equipment. By analyzing patient data, NIA algorithm provides more detailed results compared to traditional 12-lead ECG. Patients with suspected coronary artery disease are conventionally diagnosed and treated by cardiac catheterization. However, cardiac catheterization is invasive procedure. Unless clinical diagnosis is evident before cardiac catheterization, a treadmill exercise test, a nuclear medicine myocardial perfusion test, or a multi-direction coronary CT angiogram is usually performed to increase the accuracy of diagnosis. But these examinations are not accessible to all patients, and are time-consuming and costly.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a Mediterranean Diet, personalized in terms of total calories, total lipids and balanced in terms of saturated, mono- and poly-unsaturated lipids, corrects the adverse fatty acid profile of patients with CHD and reduces markers of oxidative stress and inflammation more effectively than a low-fat dietary advice.
The aim of the study is to determine, wheather strict dietary intervention with the use of the DASH diet atop of optimal medical treatment reduces previously diagnosed coronary atherosclerotic lesions assessed witch coronary computed tomography.
The main aim of this study is to compare markers of cardiac injury (Troponin I), inflammatory response and platelets function during minimally invasive mitral valve repair or replacement (MIMV) via right mini-thoracotomy in two standard anaesthetic regimes (sevo \propofol)
The health-related quality of life questionnaire "EQ-5D" has been collected in connection with several interventional and observational studies where the no-touch vein harvesting technique in CABG has been used. The results of the questionnaires will be compiled and reported in this study.
This is a prospective, multicentric study conducted in order to evaluate if MRI coronarography is as powerful as Cardiac Multislice CT in detection of coronary abnormalities after coronary reimpantation in children over 5 yo, teenagers and young adults who underwent coronary reimplantation in childhood. Newborns suffering from transposition of the great vessels who underwent at neonatal age an arterial switch operation (ASO) with coronary reimplantation, may develop in time with growth, stenosis, twist or elongation of the reimplanted coronary artery, which may cause myocardial ischemia. As well, aortic root surgery such as the Ross procedure and abnomalous coronary artery from pulmonary artery (ACAPA) reimplantation may lead to the same complications. Functional ischemic tests in a combination of three minimum are positive in only 75% of the cases . Silent ischemia due to coronary abnormality is to be detected in those patients. In those patients, coronarography was recommended to be performed at least at 7 and 15 yo, without any clinical symptoms . It has also been recommended to examine those patients at 5, 10 and 15 yo as growth is the main cause for coronary abnormality development. Cardiac CT has been proven to be as efficient as coronarography to depict coronary reimplantation abnormalities . Due to the invasiveness of angiography and to the development of cardiac CT, in our institution, the attitude is to performed cardiac CT instead of angiography with the same frequency in our patients. Coronaro MRI has been established as a valid technique for evaluation of coronary arteries in patients after ASO . The aim of this study is to evaluate if non contrast 3D MR coronarography is as powerful as Cardiac Multislice CT for the depiction of coronary anomalies. All patients, with prior ASO, Ross or ACAPA reimplantation, refereed for cardiac CT and eligible for MRI, over 5yo are included in this prospective multi centric study. Both examinations are performed on the same day after informed consent, from the patient or from both parents if minor. Cardiac CT is performed according to the usual protocol in our institution, and MR coronaro angiography is performed as follow: excluding any contra indication to MR, the study requires one or two maximum 3D true FISP sequence without IV contrast injection, with cardiac gating, and free breathing. 3D images are evaluated blinded to the results of cardiac CT by two senior radiologists, with at least 5 years of experience in MR and CT cardiac imaging. Comparison of the results is consolidated afterwards. Other elements evaluated are tolerance and feasibility of the examination. The study is designed for four years and benefits from a grant from the Assistance Publique-Hopitaux de Paris.
There are many patients hospitalized for chest pain, which don't have high risk features that require invasive coronary angiography, but are considered intermediate risk and for which ischemic heart disease can not be excluded. The current management for these patients is to perform a non invasive test in order to classify their risk. Exercise ergometry is a commonly used non invasive test to detect ischemia. that test is non-invasive, and does not involve radiation or intra-venous contrast. The test is limited for many patients, because of un-ability to exercise, or because of non-interpetable Electro Cardio-Graphy (ECG). Heart rate variability is well known to be a marker of ischemic heart disease. Heart rate variability testing is a non-invasive ECG monitoring technique. The study design is to identify hospitalized patients who are candidates for non-invasive stress testing, and to monitor their heart rate variability for one hour prior to the stress test.
Clinical study on patients with turbid phlegm and blood stasis syndrome and Qi -Yin Deficiency syndrome of coronary artery disease (CHD) compared with normal cases will be launched. Detection of lipid metabolism, inflammation medium, endothelial cell injury, blood coagulation function evaluation of the relationship between disease and biochemical basis, detect plasma metabonomics and the gene expression profile chip, with "phlegm - lipid metabolic disorder", "stasis - microcirculation disorder", "alternating knot - inflammation mediated" and other system related to the biological basis. With Danlou Tablet for treatment, the investigators can observe result/effect index of turbid phlegm and blood stasis syndrome. Through comprehensive comparison of multi-level, multi-targets and multi-date biological index to discuss its sickness-syndrome-prescription corresponding relation and its biological basis.
