Filter by:Recovering blood flow to a coronary stenosis may improve left ventricular (LV) function in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). However, the reported data about evaluation of LV function post-percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in CAD was limited. The aim of this study was to compare the LV function measured by 3 min low dose exercise stress echocardiography (ESE) combined 2D speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) in patients with CAD underwent PCI, and to identify factors affecting the change of LV function. Patients with CAD who underwent acute PCI were enrolled.
Elderly individuals are increasingly represented among patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) with aspirin and an oral P2Y12 receptor inhibitor has an established role in the prevention of atherothrombotic events in ACS setting. However, DAPT in older patients is challenged by a concurrent heightened risk of ischemia and bleeding. Although guidelines recommend DAPT with aspirin and ticagrelor for elderly patients with ACS, clopidogrel, a less potent antiplatelet agent, continues to be used in more than one third of ACS patients with elderly status being the strongest predictor of undertreatment. A lower dose of ticagrelor may represent an alternative to the standard dose by conferring a similar efficacy and, potentially, a better safety profile. Our prospective, randomized, double-blind, crossover trial will test the hypothesis that a lower dose of ticagrelor provides similar antiplatelet effects compared with a standard dose among elderly patients with ACS. The main aim of the trial is to determine the pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic profile of ticagrelor 60 mg twice daily versus ticagrelor 90 mg twice daily among elderly patients with ACS undergoing PCI. This will be a prospective, randomized (1:1 ratio), non-inferiority, open-label, crossover trial to evaluate the level of platelet inhibition achieved with a low-dose of ticagrelor (60 mg twice daily) versus a standard dose of ticagrelor (90 mg twice daily) among elderly patients with ACS undergoing PCI.
The ELECTRA-SIRIO 2 study is a randomized, multicenter, double-blind, investigator-initiated clinical trial aimed to evaluate safety and efficacy of two ticagrelor-based de-escalation antiplatelet strategies in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). During the hospitalization due to ACS, participants will be randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio into one of three arms: low-dose ticagrelor with aspirin (LDTA), low-dose ticagrelor with placebo (LDTP), and standard-dose ticagrelor with aspirin (SDTA), the latter being the control arm. Up to day 30, all enrolled patients will receive standard-dose ticagrelor (2x90mg) + aspirin (1x100mg). Starting from day 31 LDTA and LDTP patients will receive low-dose ticagrelor (2x60mg) + aspirin (1x100mg), SDTA - continuation of previous treatment. Starting from day 91 LDTP patients will receive low-dose ticagrelor (2x60mg) + placebo, SDTA and LDTA - continuation of previous treatment. The aim of the study is to evaluate the influence of ticagrelor maintenance dose reduction from 2x90mg to 2x60mg with or without continuation of aspirin versus dual antiplatelet therapy with standard dose ticagrelor in reducing clinically relevant bleeding and maintaining anti-ischemic efficacy in ACS patients.
The study included all patients admitted to the intensive care unit of the district hospital and sent to the angiographic Department for diagnosis and performance of PCI with a diagnosis of NSTEMI, including myocardial infarction (mi) and unstable angina, determined by clinical data, ECG signs and laboratory indicators. Data from patients living in the Sergiev Posad municipal district will be analyzed in order to achieve maximum registration of adverse events during one year of follow-up.
This study aims to evaluate the beneficial effect of heart rate reduction of oral ivabradine in patients presenting with non ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) during acute stage post percutaneous coronary intervention versus conventional treatment. Materials and methods: A total of 100 patients admitted to the emergency department, National Heart Institute, Cairo, Egypt were randomized into two groups as follows: Group A: 50 patients with NSTEMI treated with ivabradine (5mg twice daily) in addition to the conventional treatment; Group B: 50 patients with NSTEMI treated with the conventional treatment only. Demographic data, detailed history, clinical examination, chest pain onset, blood pressure, heart rate (HR), temperature and respiratory rate, electrocardiogram (ECG) as well as echocardiography and laboratory investigations were recorded. Patients were monitored for a period of 3-5 days (acute stage).
This study will be a single-center, prospective, un-blinded, randomized controlled trial evaluating a decision aid tool for older patients considering left heart catheterization (LHC) as treatment for non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). The study population is 50 total inpatients (25 per study arm) with NSTEMI eligible for elective LHC. The first arm is the control group that will receive standard of care, while the second arm will have access to the decision aid and shared-decision making conversation with one of the co-investigators. Baseline characteristics and surveys/questionnaire data will be collected after study intervention (as applicable), and prior to final decision regarding LHC. Statistical analyses will be conducted on the primary endpoint, decisional conflict score, as well as on various secondary endpoints.
Prospective, multi-center, registry designed to enrol up to 2,000 patients in up to 35 International centers. All patients will receive a BioMatrix AlphaTM stent as per clinical practice and will be followed for 2 years for data collection. Major adverse cardiac events (MACE) results at 9 months will be compared to the results obtained from the BioMatrix FlexTM arm of the LEADERS trial.
An observational, retrospective, multicenter, blinded adjudication study to evaluate the clinical appropriateness of Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) indication and execution in patients with stable Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) and in patients with acute coronary syndrome without ST-segment elevation (NSTE-ACS) (ratio 4:1). Half of the included patients will be diabetic. Also the implementation of selected, key guideline recommendations will be examined. At least 400 patients will be retrospectively selected among 22 Catheterization Laboratories in Italy in the region of Lombardia and Veneto. This study will be conducted in compliance with Good Clinical Practices (GCP) including the Declaration of Helsinki and all applicable regulatory requirements.
Prospective, multi-centre, randomized, open-label, parallel comparisons to evaluate - the incidence of bleedings (COSTA-Bleed) and - the incidence of ischemic and bleeding events (COSTA-Outcome) following a therapy with the abluminal sirolimus coated bio-engineered stent (COMBO stent) in association with short-term single antiplatelet therapy as compared to a guidelines-based strategy in patients with coronary artery disease with an indication for chronic oral anticoagulant therapy.
This is a double-blind, sham-controlled clinical study to evaluate the safety and feasibility of AMI MultiStem therapy in subjects who have had a heart attack (Non-ST elevation MI).
