This is a multi-centre, open-label, single-dose safety, tolerability and PK-pharmacodynamics (PD) study of the vasodilator regadenoson in 3 paediatric age groups for whom a pharmacologic stress perfusion CMR test is clinically indicated; adolescents aged 12 to <18 years (Cohort A), children aged 2 to <12 years (Cohort B), and infants aged 1 to <24 months and who weigh at least 3 kg (Cohort C). Regadenoson will be used as the pharmacologic stress agent in this study with MPI serving as both surrogate pharmacodynamic marker of the agent (MPR, MBF) and a clinically evaluable examination for the patient
The overall goal of this study is to develop a combined polygenic risk score (PRS) and metabolic risk score (MRS) and determine its impact on selecting community members for CCS. The trial component of this study will compare the use of these scores to motivate people to adhere to therapy, an ongoing challenge for clinicians, by providing feedback in a meaningful form to both the clinicians and the patients.
To assess if an angiographic follow-up at 6 months after Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in Left Main Coronary Artery Disease decrease the composite objective of death, myocardial infarction, and stroke at 36 months.
Introduction: Today it is necessary to emphasize that coronary heart disease is often associated with anxiety disorders. Research over the years has shown several and sometimes surprising links between coronary heart disease and mental illness, and has even suggested that both of these phenomena may actually cause each other. However, the exact nature of these links has not yet been clearly established. Methods: The study included 202 patients with coronary artery disease, of whom 42 patients were with stable angina pectoris, they participated as a control group, and 160 patients with unstable angina pectoris, who made up the main group. Among them there are 102 women and 100 men between the ages of 30 and 88. The average age was 63.75 ± 11.37 years. All study participants had blood in the morning on fasting after 8-12 hours of fasting from the cubital vein. Determination of the level of cytokines TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-4 and IL-10 in blood serum by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). All participants in the study had blood drawn in the morning on fasting after 8-12 hours of fasting from the cubital vein. The level of uric acid was determined on the CYAN Start apparatus using a unified method. When examining patients with unstable angina pectoris were used: hospital anxiety and depression scale [Kozlova S.N. 2013]. And also the Spielberger-Khanin scale [Psychiatry - Hoffman A.G. 2010], developed by Spielberger Ch.D. and adapted by Yu.L. Khanin. to assess cognitive functions [Psychiatry - Gofman A.G. 2010].
Myocardial infarction and chronic coronary heart disease (cCHD) are the most frequent causes of death in Germany. Treatment options include widening of the narrowed / blocked coronary vessel via catheter and stent or bypass surgery in which the narrowed vessel sites are bridged. The "German National Disease Management Guideline on cCHD" helps doctors to decide which treatment is most appropriate for the severity of vascular damage and possible concomitant diseases of the patient. Nevertheless, there are other factors determining treatment decision. For example, the equipment or preferences of the hospital or department in which patients are admitted, play a role in the decision. The aim of the REVASK project is to investigate whether and to what extent the collaboration of cardiology and heart surgery specialists in so-called "heart teams" influences the decision on therapy. For this purpose, doctors and patients will be interviewed about how the treatment decision was made and how satisfied both sides are with the outcome of the treatment and the decision. In addition, claims data from several German health insurance companies (Techniker, BARMER, Betriebs- und Innungskrankenkassen) will be analyzed. Treatment data, which is documented as usual by the treating medical staff and passed on to the health insurance companies for accounting purposes, is used. Furthermore, treatment data recorded in the registers of the professional societies is analyzed.
Hypotension with potentially serious consequences for organ perfusion is a common complication in extracorporeal procedures such as heart-lung-machine. The exact reasons for this are still insufficiently clarified. Probably periinterventional vasorelaxant released substances play a crucial role in these procedures. These substances could be due to contact of blood cells with the Membrane in the HLM arise. In this project the hypothesis will be checked, if EETs / DHETs are released by Erythrocytes during this extracorporeal procedure and thus act as potential candidate products for the result of hypotonic phases during usage of heart-lung-machine. We will determine differences in RBC fatty acids profiling in patients before and after heart-lung-machine intervention. RBC fatty acids profiling will be achieved by using targeted HPLC-MS mass spectrometry. It is believed that during HLM there is an increase in EETs / DHETs in the serum and in the erythrocytes. It is believed that shear forces play an important role in the release of erythrocyte EETs / DHETs.
18F-FMPP is a novel PET myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) tracer which targets to mitochondria complex I (MC-I). Preclinical animal studies have shown that its uptake is highly uniform and long in the heart and rather low in the liver. It may be a promising tracer for myocardial perfusion imaging. In addition, as a myocardial PET tracer, it is capable of quantifying absolute myocardial blood flow. Thus this prospective and open-label study is going to evaluate the diagnosis performance of 18F-FMPP PET MPI in suspected or known CAD patients who will be referred for invasive coronary angiography (ICA).
This was a Phase 2 prospective, randomized, crossover study of Flurpiridaz (18F) Injection for PET-MPI in participants referred for evaluation of known coronary artery disease (CAD) or for suspected CAD with intermediate to high pre-test probability (PTP). The objective is to assess the difference and variability between 2 sets of rest images synthesized by the same or 2 different manufacturing processes. Twenty-eight evaluable [participants were enrolled in this study and underwent 2 Flurpiridaz (18F) Injection PET-MPI at rest. Each participant attended a Screening Visit at least 2 days and up to 14 days prior to the first Flurpiridaz (18F) Injection PET-MPI. The participants were randomized 1:1:1:1 to 4 possible sequences of receiving 2 doses of Flurpiridaz (18F) Injection: 2 groups of 7 participants received 2 Flurpiridaz (18F) Injection doses synthesized by the same manufacturing processes (either HPLC or SPE) and 2 groups of 7 subjects will receive 2 Flurpiridaz (18F) Injection doses synthesized by different manufacturing processes (1 dose by HPLC followed by 1 dose by SPE or 1 dose by SPE followed by 1 dose by HPLC). All participants were followed up by telephone for adverse events (AEs) and serious AEs (SAEs) at 24 (+8) hours following each Flurpiridaz (18F) Injection administration.
This study is to evaluate the feasibility of myocardial Standardized Uptake Volume (SUV) assessment by means of X- (Single photon emission tomography) SPECT/Computed tomography (CT), to assess normal reference value under rest and stress in a homogeneous population without Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) and to assess the variation of absolute quantitative SUV measurements under rest and stress. The values will be evaluated in comparison with perfusion Positron Emission Tomography (PET)/CT (using 82Rb as perfusion tracer) and CT coronary angiography (CTCA) with contrast medium.).
