Filter by:The main aim of this trial is to assess the long-term prognostic value of different types of Factor XIIa in an unselected, single center series of 871 chest pain patients admitted to the emergency unit, employing blood samples collected at admission. The second purpose of this study is to assess the incremental prognostic value of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and high-sensitive C-reactive protein (hsCRP). A third purpose of this study is to evaluate the prognostic impact of the Omega-3 Index which is a measure of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) relative to other fatty acids in the erythrocyte membrane.
The PREDICT study is to develop and validate a diagnostic blood ASGES (age, sex, gene expression score) or Corus CAD for atherosclerotic coronary artery disease (CAD). The Corus CAD (Age/Sex/Gene Expression score - ASGES) will use quantitative real-time PCR (RT-PCR) to quantify the expression of multiple genes from circulating peripheral blood cells to assess the presence of clinically significant CAD in a patient.
The purpose of the study is to determine for how long sildenafil potentiates the blood pressure reduction that occurs with glyceryl trinitrate in men with angina.
Cell transplantation for treatment of heart failure is a novel field of translational research that offers the perspective of developing curative approaches by regenerating or "rejuvenating" lost and/or diseased myocardium and inducing growth of new blood vessels. Based on the safety and preliminary efficacy testing in previous trials, a stringent efficacy testing will be performed in this study. Sixty patients who had myocardial infarction in the past and now need bypass surgery for ongoing coronary artery disease will undergo either bypass surgery and placebo treatment or bypass surgery and injection of CD133 bone marrow cells directly in the heart muscle. The study will be fully blinded, i.e. neither the patient nor the surgeon knows what substance is injected (placebo or cell product). Patients will be followed for 6 months and various heart function measurements will be performed.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether cardiac rehabilitation is a successful treatment for refractory angina, in relation to improvements in cardiovascular risk factors, physical ability, symptomology, quality of life and psychological morbidity.
Randomized nine months clinical comparison of implantation of Taxol eluting (Taxus Express) and Sirolimus eluting (Cypher Select) stents in non-selected patients with coronary artery disease.
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether the level of Platelet Inhibition as assessed with five point-of-care platelet function assays correlates with clinical (periprocedural) outcomes such as Acute Myocardial Infarction, death, Target Vessel revascularization and/or stroke in patients undergoing elective PCI.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a single intracoronary infusion of Ad5FGF-4 is effective in improving exercise capacity measured by exercise treadmill testing, angina functional class, patient symptoms, quality of life, and cardiovascular outcomes. Two doses will be studied, 2.87 x 10(8) and 2.87 x 10(9) viral particles, to evaluate the dose-response of Ad5FGF-4. Short-term and long-term safety of Ad5FGF-4 will also be evaluated.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate a near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy system that has been designed to identify the chemical composition of coronary artery plaques in patients undergoing a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and feasibility of a novel oxygen carrying solution, HBOC-201, in the setting of PCI for Acute Coronary Syndromes from randomization til hospital discharge.
