Filter by:There is a lack of understanding of how Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) - meaning the blocking or furring up of the arteries of the heart - starts and progresses in women. In both men and women, CAD is the most common cause of heart attacks, which occur when the blood supply in the heart is interrupted (these are also known medically as 'acute coronary syndromes'). Before the menopause women appear to be protected from CAD; however, after the menopause that protection is lost. Also, those women who do suffer a heart attack have twice the risk of further heart attacks compared to men despite having the same treatment that works well in men. Biological differences between men and women are probably playing an important role in the way CAD develops. However, due to a lack of research there is currently little understanding of how the female body works in this area. Inflammation is the body's natural response to injury or infection. Importantly it is also involved in the development of CAD. Hormones such as oestrogen and testosterone are also likely to be contributory factors. We think the differences between the way these hormones and inflammation play a part in CAD in both men and women are important, but the role they play is not yet fully understood. In this study we wish to measure the 'markers' of inflammation in the blood of patients attending Barts Heart Centre with chest pain. We will also conduct questionnaires with these patients, to understand their hormone status and how parts of their medical history may be a contributory factor. For patients who have previously attended Barts Heart Centre will will contact them to conduct the questionnaire over the telephone only. We will combine this data with the data that is routinely collected during hospital admission. In this way we hope to understand whether inflammation together with hormone status plays an important role in CAD. Our hope is that through this research we will address an under researched area and find new ways of treating women and men with coronary artery disease.
Investigators evaluate whether differences exsit in acute coronary syndrome（ACS） patients with ejection <45% between participants who take vericiguat regularly and those who donot.
This registry has the aim to assess the use of different antithrombotic therapies, including untested drug combinations, routinely used during the hospitalization phase, with their timing, route and dose of administration, in consecutive patients discharged with a diagnosis NSTEMI or STEMI in Italian Cardiac care Units (CCUs) during a four-week study period.
This prospective cohort study is aimed at identification and risk stratification of patients who have symptoms of acute chest pain suspected with acute coronary syndrome （ACS） using Magnetocardiography （MCG）.
This study aims to examine the effect of acupressure on physiological parameters and anxiety levels in individuals diagnosed with Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS). H1-1: Acupressure applied to individuals diagnosed with ACS has an effect on the level of anxiety. H1-2: Acupressure applied to individuals diagnosed with ACS has an effect on blood pressure. H1-3: Acupressure applied to individuals diagnosed with ACS has an effect on heart rate. H1-4: Acupressure applied to individuals diagnosed with ACS has an effect on respiratory rate. H1-5: Acupressure applied to individuals diagnosed with ACS has an effect on the pain level. H1-6: Acupressure applied to individuals diagnosed with ACS has an effect on cortisol levels.
The aim of this study is to evaluate if an online Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) protocol customized for patients following Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS), reduce cardiac anxiety, enhance Quality of Life (QoL), and promote increased physical activity while controlling for caregiver attention, utilizing an active control group receiving internet-based cardiac lifestyle intervention.
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is one of the most important risk factors for atherosclerotic heart disease. Strategies focused solely on glycemic control have failed to demonstrate vascular events reduction in this population. On the other hand, new antidiabetic drugs recently have demonstrated significant decrease of cardiovascular mortality, raising the hypothesis that possible effects beyond glycemia control could explain this benefit. Aim: This study is intended to evaluate possible pleiothropic effects of dapaglifozin, a SGLT-2 (sodium glucose cotransporter 2) inhibitor, in individuals admitted with a diagnosis of Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI). Methods: This is a prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled trial. Individuals presenting with AMI whithin the first seven days of evolution will be randomized to dapaglifozin or placebo. The investigators's goal is to analyze platelet aggregability 48 hours after randomization (primary endpoint), as well as glycemic control, cardiac biomarkers, corrected QT interval electrocardiographic analysis, autonomic modulation through spectral analysis of the RR interval and inflammatory biomarkers at inclusion and 30 days after starting study drug (secondary endpoints). Sample size calculation resulted in 80 individuals (40 per group). Expected results: This study will seek to aggregate new insights to the current knowledge about this new antidiabetic drug class. Previous randomized clinical trials have demonstrated that SGLT-2 inhibitors significantly reduced the composite endpoint of cardiovascular death, AMI or stroke, as well as Heart Failure (HF) hospitalization. Therefore, this study is supposed to clarify possible mechanisms that could explain these results aforementioned.
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of phentolamine in prevention of CA-AKI following complex PCI in patients at high risk of CA-AKI.
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.
