Filter by:Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) has remained significant and severe complication of angiographic procedures despite the increasing use of preventative methods. It has been associated with prolonged hospital stay, high morality and the need for dialysis. Since classically used creatinine for diagnosing of CIN does not reflect the degree of tubular injury before 24-48 hours after exposure to contrast media alternative earlier biomarkers and preventative methods are needed. Remote ischemic preconditioning is a non-invasive and safe method which in some studies has been reported to protect against contrast-induced nephropathy. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) (1) as an additional method to standard treatment to prevent subclinical and clinical contrast-induced acute kidney injury and (2) to assess its effect on functional properties of arterial wall, organ damage biomarkers and low molecular weight metabolites.
The purpose of the study is to compare two different types of decision support materials for patients considering treatment for chest pain or chest discomfort from heart disease.
We had little experience in coronary intervention with recently introduced newer drug-eluting stent (DES) platforms, despite great anticipation, and optimal duration of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) for these stent systems still needs to be established. Herein, we plan the HOST-coronary intervention with next-generation drug-eluting stent platforms and abbreviated dual antiplatelet therapy (HOST-IDEA) trial to compare single antiplatelet therapy (SAPT) after 3-month DAPT with 12-month DAPT in all-comers undergoing coronary intervention with third-generation DES with the thinnest struts. P2Y12 inhibitor treatment is added to aspirin during the 3-months period after the stenting, and this abbreviated duration of DAPT will be compared with conventional 1-year mandatory DAPT regimen in a 1:1 randomized stratification. Net adverse clinical events (NACEs), a composite of cardiac death, target vessel related myocardial infarction, clinically-drivent target lesion revascularization, definite or probable stent thrombosis and major bleeding is a primary endpoint for evaluating safety and efficacy of the difference of DAPT duration. 1-year target lesion failure (TLF) as a composite of cardiac death, target vessel related myocardial infarction and clinically driven target lesion revascularization will be identified as a secondary ischemic outcome. 1-year major bleeding events classified as BARC type 3 or 5 bleeding events will be identified as a secondary bleeding outcome. With this trial, you will be able to get clear insight on the behavior of newer DES platforms. Reference data for the shortened mandatory DAPT regimen will also be delineated in the selected patients, and it might be helpful to those who need it.
The first and foremost manifestation of ischemic heart disease (IHD) is angina. At a global level, patients with chronic angina are at risk of poor vital status and deconditioning. Medical therapy and coronary revascularization using coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) can effectively relieve angina . In spite of all the available treatment options, the assessment of angina remains a challenge. Angina has a cyclical pattern and will naturally worsen and improve as days go by. Likewise, angina can be significantly biased by the placebo effect. Clinically angina is most frequently quantified with the Canadian Cardiovascular Society (CCS) classes system. In research protocols, angina is often quantified with health-related quality of life questionnaires and diaries. None of the tool available accounts for an important phenomenon called ischemic threshold adaptation, which could be defined as a limitation of their activity level under the ischemic level, which will translate into fewer angina episodes and a seemingly stable condition. Better clinical assessment tools that take into consideration the ischemic threshold adaption are needed. Despite increased interest in wearable biometrics clothing in medicine, no prospective study has documented their utility to assess angina and to monitor the rehabilitation in cardiac patients. The Hexoskin™ is a biometric vest that can collect physiological data from individuals in their natural daily living environment. Currently, the use of biometric clothing is confined to a niche exploited exclusively by health enthusiasts, athletes or astronauts. As we enter this new age of virtual healthcare, tools like wearable biometrics could represent a giant leap forward in assisting healthcare professionals and patients. This will translate a better assessment of their health status, will allow physicians to target the right treatment strategy, ultimately improving case-selection and outcomes. Our objective is to prospectively validate the wearable biometrics clothing Hexoskin™ against established standards used to assess chronic stable angina. In addition, the investigators want to derive a novel vitality index from the data generated by this device that will subsequently be used to propose a new angina classification system that will account for ischemic threshold adaptation. Moreover, the investigators want to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Hexoskin monitor patients undergoing home-based cardiac rehabilitation.

A phase 2a, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in adults with stable angina to evaluate the effect of erenumab (AMG 334) compared to placebo on exercise time during an exercise treadmill test.
There are few data regarding anti-anginal effects between beta-blockers with and without vasodilating property. Beta-blocker without vasodilating property is generally known to have unfavorable effects on glucose and lipid metabolism. Therefore, the investigators compared carvedilol and atenolol on anti-anginal and metabolic effects in patient with stable angina pectoris.
This is a single-center, open-label, randomized controlled trial. Patients with stable angina pectoris without use of dual antiplatelet therapy or anticoagulation therapy scheduled for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) at Karolinska University Hospital in Stockholm, Sweden will be eligible. This study investigates in patients having undergone CABG whether increasing the dose or the frequency of acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) treatment improves the efficacy of ASA regarding platelet inhibition compared to the standard dosing for cardiovascular prevention (75 mg once daily) in the first three months after surgery. Patients will be randomly assigned to postoperative ASA dose 75mg once daily, 75mg twice daily or 160 mg once daily. The study dose ASA will be started at hospital discharge and continued of three months. Blood samples for serum thromboxane B2 (TxB2) and other analyses will be taken before surgery, before discharge, and after one and three months. All available data will be collected prospectively. Informed consent will be obtained from patients meeting the inclusion criteria before the initiation of any study-specific procedures.
This randomized trial will assess the efficacy of Drug Coated Balloon (DCB) compared to Bare Metal Stent (BMS) using Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR) guidance for de novo coronary artery lesions in patients unable to tolerate dual antiplatelet therapy and at high risk of bleeding. Patients will be randomized after balloon angioplasty to receive either DCB or BMS. Endpoints are late luminal loss at 9 months, and major adverse cardiac events including arterial thrombosis at 1, 9 and 12 months.
In this randomised controlled trial of patients with stable angina and documented intermediate coronary disease with indeterminate or "grey-zone" Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR) we will randomise patients to either optimal medical therapy alone versus optimal medical therapy with PCI and they will be followed up for the primary endpoint of anginal control as measured by the Seattle Angina Questionnaire at 3 months.
