View clinical trials related to Angina, Stable.
Filter by:We wish to see if the drug rosiglitazone, currently used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes, could be used as a new treatment for angina when compared with placebo in overweight subjects who do not have overt diabetes. The drug will be given for 3 months and the subjects will be have their angina tested, by way of exercise testing, angina quality of life questionnaire and 24-hour ECG monitoring before and after using the drug.
To test whether ivabradine when given in combination with atenolol is able to improve the exercise tolerance of patients with stable angina pectoris
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. To doses are to be studied, 2.87x10(8) and 2.87x10(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 study investigates whether endurance training breathing 100% oxygen gives a additional improvement of maximal oxygen uptake in stable Angina Pectoris patients, compared to training without extra oxygen supplementation. In addition work economy, stroke volume and cardiac perfusion is measured. The hypothesis of the study is that increased oxygenation of the air increases performance, stroke volume, work economy and cardiac perfusion.
The purpose of this study is to compare coronary angioplasty with stent implantation with an exercise rehabilitation program in patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD).
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the difference in 6-month restenosis rates in coronary artery lesions treated by photopheresis in addition to angioplasty with stent placement, as opposed to no photopheresis after angioplasty and stent placement. Restenosis means the closing up again, or narrowing in diameter, of the previously treated artery, which may cause reduced blood flow and the re-occurrence of symptoms. Photopheresis is a therapeutic technique in which a portion of your white blood cells is collected by a blood separation device and exposed to ultraviolet A light, in combination with the drug 8-MOP (8-methoxypsoralen), then returned to you. The secondary objectives are: 1. To compare the incidence of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) between the three treatment groups for 6 months post-angioplasty. MACE events include death (cardiac related), myocardial infarction, coronary artery bypass graft surgery, repeat angioplasty to the target vessel, hospitalization and clinical symptoms. 2. To evaluate the safety of the treatment by comparing the incidence of acute and subacute thrombosis, bleeding and vascular complications and other non-MACE events every 2 weeks for 6 months post-angioplasty between the three treatment groups.
The objective of study is to compare the anti-ischemic efficacy and safety profiles of once daily amlodipine or isosorbide-5-mononitrate in the treatment of stable asymptomatic and symptomatic myocardial ischemia
The purpose of the study was to evaluate procedural and late outcome of coronary artery stenting using 2 different unmounted stents
This study aims to address the following questions on the effects of testosterone therapy in men with coronary ischaemia: - Does the anti-anginal effect persist long term? Many of the published studies are acute single dose trials and none of the chronic studies have assessed patients formally beyond a few months. The investigators' earlier studies were limited to 3 months. - Does testosterone therapy in men affect the levels of measurable atheroma? There is currently no in-vivo human evidence that androgen therapy inhibits or reduces levels of atheroma, although there is abundant evidence in animals to suggest a potential improvement. This study addresses the two issues and would be of one-year duration but would be the longest trial of testosterone therapy in men with cardiovascular disease. The primary endpoint is the change in time to ST- segment depression of > 1mm during exercise testing.
