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.
The study will include patients with acute coronary syndrome without ST segment elevation and multivessel CA lesion, who are subject to surgical treatment according to KG data (Syntax Score 23 - 32 points with significant damage to the anterior descending artery and/or trunk of the left coronary artery). The patient should be suitable for both CABG and PCI (confirmed by an X-ray surgeon and a cardiac surgeon). An X-ray surgeon and a cardiac surgeon, within the framework of planning the volume of revascularization, strives for the fullest feasible volume. Complete myocardial revascularization (that is, the desire for the absence of hemodynamically significant coronary arteries after revascularization, with a diameter of > 2.5 mm, that is, residual coronary artery stenosis of no more than 60%). Thus, patients will be randomized into groups in a ratio of 1:1. Each group will need to include 230 patients (a total of 460). In the main group, revascularization will be performed by PCI, in the control group by CABG.
The goal of this observation study is to compare VOCs in cardiogenic chest pain population/health conditions, to answer：Establishment and promotion of the application system of emergency rapid detection of expiratory Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) in patients with acute cardiogenic chest pain 1. VOCs levels were measured at baseline in healthy people, and markers of VOCs that could be used to identify acute cardiogenic chest pain were sought. 2. The relationship between abnormal VOCs (mainly aldehydes) and prognosis of patients and the correlation with Super-score for early warning of acute heart failure.
Patients in the Intensive Cardiovascular Care Unit (ICCU) often present with cardiovascular disease (CVD) issues accompanied by various non-cardiovascular conditions. However, a widely applicable scoring system to predict patient outcomes in the ICCU is lacking. Therefore, developing and validating scores for predicting ICCU patient outcomes are warranted. The aims of the IndONEsia ICCU (One ICCU) registry include developing an epidemiological registry of ICCU patients and establishing a multicentre research network to analyse patient outcomes.This nationwide multicenter cohort will capture data from patients receiving cardiovascular critical care treatment in 10 Indonesian hospitals with ICCU facilities. Recorded data will encompass demographic characteristics, physical examination findings at hospital and ICCU admission, diagnoses at ICCU admission, therapy, intervention, complications on days 3 and 5 of in-ICCU care, in-hospital outcomes, and 30-day outcomes. The One ICCU is a large, prospective registry describing the care process and advancing clinical knowledge in ICCU patients. It will serve as an investigational platform for predicting the mortality of ICCU patients.
Fractional flow reserve (FFR) has revolutionized the diagnosis and treatment of coronary artery disease (CAD), and more recently, post percutaneous coronary intervention (post-PCI) FFR has emerged as an independent predictor of cardiovascular events, enabling the identification of cases requiring additional optimization of the implanted stent. Modern technologies allow less invasive alternatives to traditional FFR measurement - angiography-based vessel fractional flow reserve (vFFR) and derivative ΔvFFR, which is calculated by a difference between the post-PCI vFFR and pre-PCI vFFR. In large clinical studies, the good accuracy between vFFR and FFR - measured before and after PCI - has been confirmed. However, insufficient data is available about the value of post-vFFR and ΔvFFR as prognostic values and indicators of patient health. This is a prospective multicenter register study analyzing the association between the value of ΔvFFR, vFFR after PCI and adverse clinical outcomes, residual angina and quality of life using the validated Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ) and EuroQol 5-level 5-dimensional questionnaire (EQ-5D-5L). Patients undergoing PCI for chronic coronary syndromes (CCS), non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndromes (NST-ACS) or ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) will be enrolled in this study.
The goal of this observational study is to define the incidence of heart failure (HF) after acute coronary syndrome (ACS). The main question it aims to answer is: • To define HF incidence in the medium and long-term in the context of public healthcare coverage ensuring universal access to early coronary revascularization after ACS and extended neurohormonal treatment. Analyses will cover the entire population of Catalonia (North-Eastern region of Spain, N = 7.860.563 in 2020). Researchers will compare HF incidence rate according to relevant subgroup characteristics including event type, age groups or sex, inter alia.
Elderly patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) face a high risk of both ischemic and hemorrhagic complications necessitating antiplatelet therapy. Previous data indicate that even at a dose of 20-30 mg/day, aspirin (ASA) allows almost complete inhibition of thromboxane (TX) A2 biosynthesis in healthy volunteers. However, ASA at a dose of 30 mg/day has not been evaluated in the acute phase of myocardial infarction or among elderly patients, where it may achieve an optimal balance between bleeding risk and ischemic complications. This randomized study will include 40 patients over 65 years undergoing PCI for acute coronary syndrome (ACS). It compares a new dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) strategy consisting of a P2Y12 antagonist (ticagrelor) and ASA at a very low dose of 30 mg/day (n=20) against the current standard treatment (P2Y12 antagonist and ASA at a dose of 75 mg) (n=20) in the control group.
The Lipid Registry of Africa (LIPRA) aims to understand why some individuals in Africa experience heart issues at a younger age than others. The study investigates factors causing heart problems in younger adults, particularly acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) includes various heart conditions like unstable angina and heart attacks. Researchers from multiple African countries collaborate to gather information from hospitals across the region. They focus on patients under 55 years (men) or 65 years (women) with heart issues. Additionally, the study wants to compare different groups-men and women, urban and rural residents-to see if there are specific differences in how heart problems develop among them.
Monotherapy with a P2Y12 inhibitor after a minimum period of DAPT following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is an emerging de-escalation antiplatelet strategy in recent years. However, the optimal timing for de-escalating DAPT in ACS patients undergoing PCI remains debated. The OPT-CAD score is a risk stratification tool derived from Chinese patients which has been demonstrated superior predictive capabilities for ischemic events and all-cause mortality than the GRACE score. Therefore, we hypothesize that the OPT-CAD score can be used to guide the timing of the DAPT de-escalation strategy to monotherapy with P2Y12 inhibitors for ACS patients, that is, low-risk patients could be de-escalated after 1 month, while high-risk patients could be de-escalated after 3 months, so as to achieve individualized antithrombotic therapy and maximize patient benefit.
