Filter by:SUSPECT is a prospective, single-center, cohort study of 250 military aircrew at the Center for Man in Aviation, Royal Netherlands Air Force. All asymptomatic aircrew (≥40 years) are asked to undergo a coronary CT scan on a voluntary basis, following the exercise electrocardiograms performed at their routine aeromedical examination. Coronary Artery Calcium score (CACS) and CCTA findings are reported.
Randomized, single-blind, single-center, non-inferiority clinical trial to compare target lesion failure (TLF) at 12 months in high bleeding risk patients undergoing elective coronary percutaneous intervention comparing limus-eluting balloon vs. limus-eluting stents.
Both intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) are standardly used and have been extensively studied separately to guide percutaneous coronary intervention and improve long-term outcomes. In this study, the investigators aim to directly compare high-definition IVUS images to OCT in the same patients to determine the differences between each modality as they relate to imaging coronary pathology, with the goal of determining which modality is most appropriate in particular clinical scenarios.
Now, adipose tissue is established as an active endocrine organ that controls systemic energy homeostasis by secretion of adipokines. Recently, members of the C1q/tumor necrosis factor-related protein (CTRP) family have been reported to share structural homology with adiponectin. To date, 15 CTRP family members have been found that might play major roles in metabolism and inflammation. The investigators tried to clarify the relationship between CTRP family and coronary artery disease (CAD) in Korean men and women.
Background: - Bone marrow stromal stem cells (also known as mesenchymal stem cells) have been isolated and are found to make large amounts of growth factors. Because they make growth factors, these cells can help re-grow tissue and encourage repair of damaged tissue. Tests on damaged heart muscle suggest that injecting these cells directly into damaged heart muscle can improve heart function. Researchers want to give stem cells to people who are having open heart surgery to see if they can help to repair heart muscle damage. Objectives: - To test the safety and effectiveness of bone marrow stromal stem cell injections given during heart surgery to treat heart muscle damage. Eligibility: - Individuals at least 18 years of age who are scheduled to have open heart surgery for heart artery or vein blockages. Design: - Participants will be screened with a physical exam and medical history. Blood and urine samples will also be collected. - Participants will have bone marrow taken from both hip bones about 3 weeks before the heart surgery. - During the surgery, the stromal stem cells collected from the bone marrow will be given into the damaged portion of the heart muscle. The rest of the heart surgery will be performed according to standard procedures. - After the surgery, participants will be monitored for complications from the stromal stem cells. - Participants will have heart function tests to see if the stromal stem cell treatments were effective....
The present study is designed as a prospective, single centre, open label, observational trial. The study will collect information about the medical care patients receive during their planned procedure(s). No new testing or procedures will be done. Patients elected for hybrid revascularization will be asked their written consent to the use of their personal data. Left internal mammary artery to the Left Anterior Descending Coronary Artery (LIMA-LAD)surgical revascularization will be performed first, followed by percutaneous revascularization of the other vessels in the frame of the same hospitalization. After discharge patients will attend clinic visits at 30 days and 12 months, as per usual clinical practice, and will be contacted by phone at 6 months after procedure. Angiographic follow-up will be performed in symptomatic patients, as clinically indicated.
The study investigates the safety and efficacy of PMX-60056 for the Reversal of Heparin in Patients Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI)
To determine the efficacy of prasugrel versus clopidogrel for the reduction of adverse cardiovascular outcomes in patients with high platelet reactivity on clopidogrel after successful implantation of coronary drug-eluting stents. To determine the adverse event profile of prasugrel in patients with high platelet reactivity on clopidogrel after implantation of coronary drug-eluting stents. To determine the effect of prasugrel on inhibition of platelet activation in patients with high platelet reactivity on clopidogrel.
The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between depressive symptoms and markers of inflammation, two predictors of heart disease.
