Filter by:The purpose of the SIROOP Registry is to retrospectively and prospectively collect baseline, clinical and procedural characteristics of patients who have undergone PCI and are treated with either currently available sirolimus or paclitaxel coated DCBs (see Table 1), irrespective of clinical presentation as well as to prospectively collect data about their clinical outcomes. Outcomes will be compared in different clinical subgroups. The impact of current DCBs in different clinical settings and coronary artery lesions on cardiovascular outcomes will be assessed.
Cardiac rehabilitation after an acute coronary syndrome is recognised in the latest guidelines and recommendations published by the major scientific societies as a class I indication. Despite this evidence, the number of patients entering such programmes in Europe is still around 30%. The present study aims to validate a new comprehensive Telerehabilitation System to provide support for cardiac rehabilitation, to optimize it and to test its usefulness in terms of improving adherence to physical exercise and cardiovascular risk parameters.
The purpose of this study is to assess whether the use of physiology parameters as guidance post-percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) is associated with less risks of target vessel failure (TVF) and angina-related events than standard angiographic guidance.
The global burden and threat of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) have become a major health challenge that undermines social and economic development throughout the world. Cardiovascular disease including acute coronary syndromes (ACS) currently accounts for 17.9 million deaths a year. Low and middle-income countries such as those in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) have undergone a rapid epidemiological transition over the last few decades and now have a burden of disease increasingly dominated by NCDs. The global burden of disease report for 2017 revealed a 71.4% increase in cardiovascular disease in SSA, predicting a large increase in mortality. Unfortunately, reliable population-level data regarding the incidence, prevalence and demographics of ACS in SSA are limited. The investigators propose to set up and conduct a multi-centre, prospective, observational registry to describe the demographics, clinical characteristics, presentation, management and outcomes of patients admitted with ACS in Cape Town and the Garden Route Health District, Western Cape Province, South Africa. The registry is designed to shed insight on the current burden and impact of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease in the Western Cape.
Prospective (analysis of retrospective data), multi-center, observational, single-arm study. This structure was selected as the "worst case" due to the fact that it represents real life usage of invasive FFR measurement is performed mostly in "gray zone" cases, which are that their severity cannot be determined intuitively and based on the physician eyeball. By using real-world historical data of invasive FFR, the analysis of the obtained data can ensure that the study results are expected to include invasive FFR results that are in the grey zone, when invasive FFR is used in real life and represent the real expected use of the product. Furthermore, the analysis of the data obtained in the studies with these similar devices measuring FFR obtained from angiograms was actually performed in a retrospective manner. That is, although the angiographic images and pressure wire recordings were obtained in real-time, due to the need to mark the vessel in real-time and obtain specific projections during the procedure without which the FFR cannot be calculated, the primary endpoint (sensitivity and specificity) and accuracy were determined in all studies by a post-hoc review by a similar independent QCA core laboratory. The invasive FFR data, as well as the software generated FFR data were reviewed post-hoc by a core laboratory or even at the company.
Preclinical studies have demonstrated that high mechanical index (MI) impulses from a diagnostic ultrasound (DUS) transducer during an intravenous microbubble infusion (sonothrombolysis) can restore epicardial and microvascular flow in acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). The investigators propose to demonstrate the clinical effectiveness of sonothrombolysis in multiple centers and in a wide scenario of acute coronary syndromes.
Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is a lethal disease, reduced low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol due to inhibition of proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin 9 (PCSK9) reduces cardiovascular events and improve cardiovascular prognosis. we assuming that PCSK9 inhibitor could bring metabolic change in serum, in order to investigate the metabolic modification, we conduct this clinical trial.
The ELECTRA-SIRIO 2 study is a randomized, multicenter, double-blind, investigator-initiated clinical trial aimed to evaluate safety and efficacy of two ticagrelor-based de-escalation antiplatelet strategies in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). During the hospitalization due to ACS, participants will be randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio into one of three arms: low-dose ticagrelor with aspirin (LDTA), low-dose ticagrelor with placebo (LDTP), and standard-dose ticagrelor with aspirin (SDTA), the latter being the control arm. Up to day 30, all enrolled patients will receive standard-dose ticagrelor (2x90mg) + aspirin (1x100mg). Starting from day 31 LDTA and LDTP patients will receive low-dose ticagrelor (2x60mg) + aspirin (1x100mg), SDTA - continuation of previous treatment. Starting from day 91 LDTP patients will receive low-dose ticagrelor (2x60mg) + placebo, SDTA and LDTA - continuation of previous treatment. The aim of the study is to evaluate the influence of ticagrelor maintenance dose reduction from 2x90mg to 2x60mg with or without continuation of aspirin versus dual antiplatelet therapy with standard dose ticagrelor in reducing clinically relevant bleeding and maintaining anti-ischemic efficacy in ACS patients.
The actual evidence is solid about the use of de SGLT2-inhibitors in wide spectrum of cardiorenal targets, which has been shown in a great amount of randomized clinical trials compared with placebo. At present it must be taken into account as first line treatment in patients with DM2, even their security profile has allowed the use in patients without diagnosis of DM2, since they have be shown a beneficial cardioprotect effects. Most studies support they use in patients with high cardiovascular risk, nevertheless, their use in patients with recent diagnosis of ischemic hearth disease its limited, being the latter entity the most frequent etiology found in patients who develop chronic hearth failure either as part of heart attack or unstable angina.
This trial is designed to associate angiography-based fractional flow reserve (3D-angio-based FFR) values with optical coherence tomography findings in pre- and post-percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with non-ST segment elevation acute coronary syndromes.
