Filter by:In ASCVD patients complicated with subclinical hypothyroidism, the percentage of those who did not reach the target of lipid-lowering therapy (LDL-C>1.8mmol/L) is usually higher than that in population with normal thyroid function. The present study aims to randomly compare two lipid-lowering therapeutic strategies (statins only vs. statins combined with thyroid hormone supplement).
This is a prospective and observational study in patients with type two diabetes. The study hypothesis is that chronic hyperglycemia causes an increase in the microcirculation on the carotid artery wall and retina, evaluated by angio-OCT. Furthermore, the reestablishment of normoglycemia would decrease this microcirculation, which could trigger hypoxic and ischemic changes, accelerating preclinical atherosclerosis. The study goal is to describe the microangiopathy in both territories in patients with type two diabetes and chronic hyperglycemia, and to evaluate changes after the reestablishment of normoglycemia.
Antibodies directed against angiotensin-II receptor (AT1-Ab) are agonist antibodies previously studied in human diseases such as preeclampsia, transplantation and scleroderma. They act by binding to the AT1 receptor and their effects can be blocked with the use of angiotensin receptor blockers (ARB). In this randomized open clinical trial the investigators will study the effect of the blockade of AT1-Ab with losartan in carotid intima-media thickness progression in patients with lupus nephritis compared to patients treated with enalapril.
The investigator prospectively enroll 30,000 outpatients who were suspected of coronary artery disease (CAD) and underwent cardiac computed tomography angiography (CTA). The endpoint was major adverse cardiac events (MACE).The investigator aim to evaluate the prognostic value of CTA, risk factors and bio-markers for MACE.
This study proposes to develop an MRI technique named Coronary Atherosclerosis T1-weighed Characterization (CATCH) that will improve the quality and reliability of coronary atherosclerosis evaluation, as well as simplify the scanning process and significantly shorten imaging time compared with conventional imaging methods.
This study evaluates the effectiveness and safety rotational atherectomy in routine clinical practice.
To assess the efficacy and safety of moderate-intensity rosuvastatin/ezetimibe compared to high-intensity rosuvastatin in high atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk patients with type 2 diabetes
The objective of this study is to evaluate the rate of SYNERGY 48 mm stent strut coverage and assess neointimal progression via OCT measurement in patients who underwent PCI.
The aim of the study is to investigate whether the expression and production of adipokines secreted by the epicardial adipose tissue correlate with the degree of coronary atherosclerosis.
According to the recommendations of the Inter-Society Consensus for the Management of Peripheral Arterial Disease (TASC II) statement and the Russian guidelines for limb ischemia treatment (2010), reconstructive surgery is preferred for type D lesions.
