Filter by:ESCALATE will provide a thorough investigation of how anti-inflammatory therapy, with low-dose colchicine, affects patients with stable coronary artery disease. Using traditional clinical risk factors and multimodality intracoronary imaging, the investigators will identify patients with the greatest clinical risk. Participants will undergo repeat multimodality intracoronary imaging assessment at 6 months to measure the impact once-daily low-dose colchicine therapy on the structure and function of coronary arteries. This study will provide valuable insights into how anti-inflammatory therapies, such as colchicine, may improve outcomes in patients with coronary artery disease.
The optimal timing of surgery in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and the utilization of preoperative intra-aortic balloon pumps (IABP) in these patients are subjects of ongoing discussion and disagreement. This study aimed to investigate the effects of preoperative IABP on troponin levels, surgical timing, and intraoperative and postoperative outcomes for patients with AMI who undergo coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).
The skeletonization technique of left internal artery (LIMA) harvesting is reported as more spar-ing to the vascular supply of the sternum. Some studies report a greater length and greater flow of the graft additionally. The aim of our study was to measure the difference in post-op sternal blood supply compared to the pedicle harvesting technique and to measure the length and flow of the LIMA graft.
The new global guidelines from the World Health Organization on air quality provide evidence of the damage that air pollution inflicts on human health at even lower concentrations than previously thought. Different studies have shown an increase in the incidence of coronary artery disease (CAD) in young people in recent decades. The main objective of this project is to study the impact of environmental pollutants on the premature manifestation of CAD from different epidemiological approaches and their impact on the evolution of these patients with a gender perspective. It is a retrospective analytical case-control study nested in a cohort of patients ≤40 years old with a clinical history of CAD including: ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome, unstable angina, stable angina or silent angina according to the international classification of diseases.
This study is a prospective, single center cohort study that primarily registers the clinical characteristics, outcomes, and influencing factors of patients with different types of cardiovascular diseases. Evaluate multiple examination indicators of patients at baseline, 1 year and longer, and follow up on the incidence of major cardiovascular and cerebrovascular adverse events, heart failure readmission, death, and other endpoint events.
After an episode of acute ischemic syndrome, patients with concomitant peripheral arterial disease have a worse short- and long-term prognosis compared to patients with isolated coronary disease, but the mechanisms responsible are poorly understood. In this population, the presence of high platelet aggregability despite the use of antiplatelet drugs is related to a greater risk of future complications, including heart attack and death from all causes. Thus, the main objective of the present project is to evaluate the role of platelet aggregability, analyzed by optical aggregometry using the AggRAM® equipment, in patients with a history of previous acute myocardial infarction with and without the presence of peripheral arterial disease. Among the secondary objectives, it is worth analyzing platelet aggregability, in both groups, using the Plateletworks® method. This is a case-control study, with groups differentiated by the presence or absence of peripheral arterial disease, matched by sex and age. It is expected that, in the end, relevant aspects related to platelet aggregation will be better characterized in this high cardiovascular risk population, with a likely impact on new therapeutic strategies that can positively influence the morbidity and mortality of these patients.
To this study is recruiting non- emergency patients to whom are planning to make coronary artery bypass intervention. From all patients are going to examine transthoracic echo, collect blood samples and register overnight sleep polygraph in a qualified sleep laboratory two times; first before cabg and second one after surgery.
Triglyceride glucose (TyG) index is a novel marker, which has been demonstrated to have a high sensitivity and specificity in identifying metabolic syndrome . Previous studies have shown that TyG index is associated with carotid atherosclerosis, coronary artery calcification and high risk of CVD. This study aims to predict severity of CAD using TyG index and its correlation to coronary angiography findings.
The OPTION2 trial (randomized controlled trial of IndObufen versus asPirin after coronary drug-eluting stent implantaTION in elderly patients with acute coronary syndrome) was designed to compare the 1-year clinical efficacy and safety of indobufen-based dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) (indobufen 100mg bid plus ticagrelor 90mg bid) or conventional DAPT (aspirin 100mg qd plus ticagrelor 90mg bid) in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients aged over 70 years old undergoing coronary drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation.
The Lower Silesian Orbital Atherectomy Registry (LOAR), is an observational registry collecting all consecutive cases of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) performed with the support of the Orbital Atherectomy Device due to the presence of calcified lesion in coronary arteries. Data will be collected in two cooperating cardiac centers (Department of Cardiology, The Copper Health Center, Lubin, Poland, and Department of Cardiology, Provincial Specialized Hospital in Legnica, Poland).
