Filter by:In Ease Asia clinical trials, P2Y12 inhibitor (ticagrelor or clopidogrel) monotherapy after 3-month dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) resulted in a lower incidence of clinically significant bleeding, without increasing risk of major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events, even if acute coronary syndrome (ACS) following complex percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) when compared with standard DAPT. Although better understood "East Asian Paradox", finding the right CYP2C19 genotype-guided P2Y12 inhibitor selection to balance maintaining ischaemic prevention and less bleeding remains a topic in real-world clinical practice.
This prospective discovery study is designed to demonstrate the feasibility of using an unshielded, mobile MCG device in an Emergency Department (ED) setting. The main question it aims to answer is whether interpretable data can be reliably collected as part of an ED workflow.
Addressing CVD risk in patients with NAFLD is the aspect of the disease most amenable to medical management and so improving long-term clinical outcomes. Almost no studies have been done concerning the prevalence of NAFLD in CVD patients, most of the conducted studies have been done in already diagnosed NAFLD patients to estimate the risk of CVD development. Currently, there are no data available about the prevalence of NAFLD in CVD, more specifically patients with an acute cardiovascular event (ACE) in Belgium.
The BRAVADO Registry pretends to identify stratification, diagnosis, total atherosclerotic burden and treatment approaches in oncologic patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) and identify strategies to improve health care quality
Background and rationale: Evaluating patients with acute chest pain, elevated high-sensitive cardiac troponin (hs-cTn) levels and non-diagnostic electrocardiogram (ECG), i.e. suspected non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (MI), is a daily challenge. Although contemporary hs-cTn assay-based algorithms have greatly facilitated clinical decision-making, still one-quarter of patients is categorized as 'observe' group and in whom a diagnosis initially remains unknown. Although routinely treated as acute (MI) with referral to invasive coronary angiography (ICA), up to one-third does not have obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD). Follow-up cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) has been shown to be a very useful diagnostic tool in this setting but is not part of routine clinical care in every patient. Objectives: To investigate in patients with suspected non-ST elevation MI meeting the 'observe' criteria and who are scheduled for ICA: 1) the prevalence of coronary artery disease as well as non-coronary artery disease related and extra-cardiac diseases by adding CMR early in the diagnostic pathway, and 2) the number of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) and a composite of MACE and major (non-cardiac) adverse events after 30 days and one year. These objectives allow an accurate estimate of the number of potentially avoidable ICA in the future and whether early CMR could be a safe gatekeeper for inappropriate ICA. Study population and design: In this prospective, observational two-center study in The Netherlands (MUMC+ and VieCuri Medical Center), 87 consecutive patients with acute chest pain, non-diagnostic ECG and hs-cTn levels meeting the observe criteria and scheduled for ICA, will be investigated. Patients will undergo a comprehensive CMR examination prior to ICA and will be followed-up at one month and one year. After completion of follow-up, an independent clinical diagnosis committee will adjudicate a final diagnosis: at discharge and after one year. The final diagnosis at discharge will be adjudicated twice: once with and once without considering the results of CMR. For the diagnosis at one-year, all clinical variables and CMR results will be considered. MACE and complications will be scored after 30 days and one year. Main study parameters/endpoints: The primary endpoint is the prevalence of coronary artery disease as well as non-coronary artery disease related and extra-cardiac diseases. The secondary (safety) endpoint is the number of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) and a composite of MACE and major (non-cardiac) adverse events after 30 days and one year. Nature and extent of the burden and risks associated with participation, benefit and group relatedness: CMR is an accepted and safe imaging modality in patients with (suspected) non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction.
This registry started January 1,2018 to collect patients who diagnosed as De Winter Symdrome for the first time in Hainan General Hospital.All enrolled patients will receive 30 days followed-up.
This study is to test the feasibility and tolerability of the metoprolol optimal dosing pathway by observing the percentage of patients achieving target dose followed the pathway on ACS patients during hospitalization.
In patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing percutaneous coronary angioplasty (PCI) P2Y12 receptor (P2Y12r) inhibition should be achieved as soon as possible. Resuscitated STEMI-patients receiving targeted temperature management (TTM, therapeutic hypothermia) after cardiac arrest, however, show deteriorated and delayed early response to available oral P2Y12r inhibitors. Therapeutic hypothermia attenuates the drugs' effectiveness by reducing its gastrointestinal absorption and metabolic activation. Acute stent thrombosis is 5-fold increased after angioplasty following resuscitated cardiac arrest because of insufficient early platelet suppression. Thus, aggressive antiplatelet strategies are needed to achieve optimal platelet suppression during PCI in those patients. The first intravenous P2Y12r inhibitor, cangrelor, has recently received marketing authorization for the acute treatment of STEMI. We hypothesize that add-on antiplatelet therapy with intravenous Cangrelor on-top of standard dual anti platelet therapy (DAPT) with Prasugrel or Ticagrelor is superior to standard antiplatelet therapy alone in terms of suppressing ADP-dependent platelet activation in resuscitated STEMI-patients receiving TTM.
