Filter by:The International Registry of Acute Coronary Syndromes registry study in Transitional Countries (ISACS-TC) is both a retrospective and prospective study which was designed in order to obtain data of patients with acute coronary syndromes, and herewith control and optimize internationally guideline-recommended therapies in these countries Further study details as provided by the CINECA http://isacs-ct.cineca.org/
This is a multicentric randomized comparison between paclitaxel-coated balloon angioplasty or paclitaxel-eluting stent implantation in patients with stable or unstable angina with the evaluation of restenosis by Quantitative Coronary Analysis.
Accurate detection of a heart attack (an acute myocardial infarction) is one of the most pressing needs in medicine. Recordings of the electrocardiogram (ECG) (electrical activity of the heart) are one of the first tools used to diagnose a heart attack, but the ECG is not very accurate, especially at the beginning of a heart attack. A new technique for analysing a special part of the ECG may provide more accurate detection of a heart attack. The study hypothesis is that this new technique, the HFQRS analysis, will provide important additional information to that available from the regular ECG.
The aim of this international study is to describe the short- and long-term (i.e. up to 2 years following the index event) antithrombotic management patterns (AMPs) in patients hospitalized for acute coronary syndromes (ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), Non-ST-Segment Elevation Acute Coronary Syndrome (NSTE-ACS)), and to document the impact of AMPs in clinical outcomes, economic variables and quality of life in a 'real-life' setting and to compare these between sites, countries and regions.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate two approaches to red blood cell transfusion in anemic patients with acute coronary syndrome.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether coronary artery CT scanning or nuclear stress testing is better at diagnosing chest pain patients with known coronary artery disease to select appropriate candidates for coronary catheterization and re-vascularization.
The growing availability of cardiac computed tomography (CT)* in emergency departments (EDs) across the U.S. expands the opportunities for its clinical application, but also heightens the need to define its appropriate use in the evaluation of patients with acute chest pain. To address this need, we performed a randomized diagnostic trial (RDT) to determine whether integrating cardiac CT, along with the information it provides on coronary artery disease (CAD) and left ventricular (LV) function, can improve the efficiency of the management of these patients (i.e. shorten length of hospital stay, increase direct discharge rates from the ED, decreasing healthcare costs and improving cost effectiveness while being safe).
Primary Objective: - To demonstrate the superior efficacy (composite of all-cause death + Myocardial Infarction (MI)) of Otamixaban to Unfractionated Heparin (UFH) + Eptifibatide Secondary Objectives: - To demonstrate the superior efficacy (composite of all-cause death + MI + any stroke) of Otamixaban as compared to UFH + Eptifibatide - To document the effect of Otamixaban on rehospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization due to a new episode of myocardial ischemia/myocardial infarction as compared to UFH + eptifibatide - To document the effect on mortality (all cause death) of Otamixaban as compared to UFH + eptifibatide - To document the safety of Otamixaban as compared to UFH + eptifibatide - To document the effect of Otamixaban on thrombotic procedural complications during the index Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) as compared to UFH + eptifibatide
The TWENTE Study is a single center prospective single-blinded randomized study. Randomization will involve the type of Drug-Eluting Stent (DES) used in study population. Patients will be blinded to the type of DES they will receive. The general practitioner of the patient will be requested not to disclose this information to the patient. Analysts who perform the data analyses will be blinded to the type DES used as well.
This is a multicenter, randomized and open-label Phase II study to compare the safety, tolerability and biological effectiveness of ALX-0081 versus the GPIIb/IIIa inhibitor ReoPro® in high risk PCI patients. Patients will receive standard treatment with acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) plus clopidogrel and heparin. Eligible patients will be randomly assigned to receive open-label study treatment with either ALX-0081 or ReoPro®. Patients will be stratified according to PCI type (elective or ad-hoc) and stent type (bare metal stent or drug eluting stent).
