Filter by:To test whether the polymer-free drug-coated stent (DCS) BioFreedom is noninferior to the biodegradable polymer drug-eluting stent (DES) Ultimaster in terms of 1-year patient-oriented composite endpoint (POCE, composite of all-cause mortality, any MI, or any revascularization) in a setting of 1-month dual-antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) strategy (1-month DAPT followed ticagrelor monotherapy) after acute coronary syndrome.
Our study is planning to evaluate patients with chronic kidney disease who come to the emergency department with chest pain. Estimated GFR (cisGFR) with cystatin and estimated GFR (creaGFR) with creatinine will be calculated. Symptoms, ECG and troponin values of patients will be evaluated for diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome
Despite their potential benefits on the heart with pleiotropic mechanisms, the cardioprotective effects of new glucose-lowering SGLT-2 inhibitors in patients with myocardial infarction - both in the acute and chronic phase - have never been explored. The key point of the project will be the evaluation of the cardioprotective effect and the potential prognostic benefit of SGLT-2 inhibitors in patients with diabetes and acute myocardial infarction.
The ASAP Trial is a 5-year, multi-centre, randomized controlled trial that will assess the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of aggressive smoking cessation therapy among people at elevated cardiovascular risk. It will recruit 798 adult patients smoking on average at least 10 conventional (tobacco) cigarettes per day who are motivated to quit smoking and have either been diagnosed with ACS requiring hospitalization or are outpatients at elevated cardiovascular risk. Patients will be randomized (1:1) to one of two treatment arms: (1) combination therapy of varenicline and nicotine e-cigarettes plus counseling or (2) varenicline plus counseling for 12 weeks, with 52-week follow-up.
Since colchicine is known to have anti-inflammatory effects and inflammation is an early component of acute coronary syndrome (ACS), this study aims to evaluate the acute effects of low-dose colchicine, in addition to atorvastatin, administered on-admission to statin-naive patients with non-ST elevation ACS scheduled for early invasive strategy.
The aim of the Naples PCI registry is to collect prospective data on baseline clinical, laboratory, and angiographic characteristics of patients undergoing PCI for acute or chronic coronary artery disease. All patients receive clinical follow-up at hospital discharge and at 1-year follow-up with the objective to assess clinical outcomes, including death, cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, stroke, stent thrombosis, target-lesion and target-vessel revascularization, contrast-induced acute kidney injury, and bleeding events.
This is a Registry of the characteristics and clinical evolution of patients admitted for acute coronary syndromes (with or without st segment elevation) who present with cardiogenic shock or develop it during the hospitalization period. Cardiogenic shock is a rare pathology, but it constitutes the leading cause of mortality in patients hospitalized for acute infarction myocardium. Its incidence ranges between 7 and 10% of the cases of infarction1 and is associated with a mortality of 40-50% despite revascularization and the use of Intra-Aortic Counterpulsation Balloon. Most of the bibliography on this subject is North American and has a lot of years and the one currently published shows mostly the results of different ventricular supports that are not used routinely in our countries. So far there is no record that reports the reality of Latin America. Only in Argentina, a registry has been carried out (Re Na Shock) but more than 5 years have passed since its publication. In the last years have even changed the management guidelines for this pathology and have been published works that could have changed previous behaviors . This is a project of the Argentine Society of Cardiology to collect data epidemiological and current management of cardiogenic shock in Latin America.
The primary objective of the study focuses on the kinetics of plasma CRP measured during the overall management (before the angioplasty procedure until the discharge of hospitalization) of patients with ST+ ACS requiring emergency transluminal angioplasty.
The optimal anti-thrombotic therapy to prevent recurrent ischemic events in patients with acute coronary syndrome and coronary artery ectasia (CAE) remains unclear. OVER-TIME is an investigator initiated, exploratory, open label, single center, randomized clinical trial comparing dual antiplatelet therapy (acetyl-salicylic acid plus a P2Y12 inhibitor) with the combination of an antiplatelet monotherapy (a P2Y12 inhibitor) plus a low dose anticoagulant (rivaroxaban, 15mg oral dose) for the prevention of recurrent ischemic events among patients with CAE. The investigators aim to enroll 60 patients with CAE and acute coronary syndromes. After recruitment, patients are randomized to (a) standard of care (dual antiplatelet regimen) or (b) the combination of antiplatelet monotherapy and low dose anticoagulant. Patients will be followed for at least 12 months. The OVER-TIME study aims to assess the efficacy of the regimen in prevention of major cardiovascular events and its security in bleeding events in acute coronary syndromes among patients with CAE. OVER-TIME is the first randomized controlled trial to assess different antithrombotic strategies in patients with CAE and acute coronary syndrome, and its results will offer preliminary data for the prevention of major cardiovascular events and bleeding events in this group of patients.
Study Description: Background: Well-known fact that the number of cardiovascular diseases is on the rise during influenza epidemic. It is conceivable that influenza may precipitate plaque rupture, increase cytokines with central roles in plaque destabilization and trigger the coagulation cascade. A number of studies have shown that the risk of cardiovascular complications (ACS, stroke, CHF decompensation, cardiac arrhythmias) seem to be reduced following influenza vaccination. The Influenza Vaccination After Myocardial Infarction study data published in September 2021 have demonstrated a significant decrease of mortality (by 40%) during 1 year of follow-up in patients with myocardial infarction (MI) who has been vaccinated during the first 72 hours. Objective: the objective is to find out whether influenza vaccination protects against cardiovascular events and death in ACS & CHF patients vaccinated during hospitalization Methods: Population: 400 patients aged 65 and older with acute coronary syndrome are randomized 1:1 and followed up via telephone calls and registries (AIS "Mortality"). Patients will be included in the study in cardiology departments № 1, 2, 3, 5, 6 of the State Budgetary Healthcare Institution "Samara Regional Clinical Cardiology Dispensary named after V.P. Polyakov" Intervention: Influenza vaccination. Control: group of unvaccinated patients. Planned study period is 1 year.
