Filter by:This retrospective study will evaluate the coronary angiograms of approximately 100 patients who have undergone invasive angiography and fractional flow reserve (FFR). DICOM files of the angiograms will be analyzed on a secure computer within the cardiac catheterization laboratory using the AutocathFFR software to assess if invasive FFR measurements and automated computer analysis of FFR measurements correlate. AutocathFFR measurement per lesion will be compared to the gold standard, invasive FFR value, where an FFR ≤ 0.80 will be considered "positive", while an FFR > 0.8 will be considered "negative". The AutocathFFR value will be compared to the invasive FFR measurements. The sensitivity and specificity of the AutocathFFR will be calculated, as well as the AutocathFFR accuracy, positive predictive value and negative predictive value per lesion. Device success will be calculated as the ratio of completed versus initiated AutocathFFR index calculations. Usability of the AutocathFFR software will be evaluated using dedicated questionnaires to be completed by the user (cardiologists).
The present study is a prospective randomized clinical trial aimed to compare the therapeutic strategy of angiography-guided versus concurrent OCT/FFR-guided intervention in patients with coronary artery disease.
This is a prospective case-control single center observational non-randomized study. It is carried out to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of functional tests with physical load under the control of a 12-channel ECG together with analysis of the parameters of volatile organic compounds of the exhaled breath, and single-channel ECG data.
The FRACTURE Trial is a prospective, non-randomized, single-arm, multicenter, interventional study in US and international centers.
The aim of this study is to determine if the test that allows males to achieve a higher VO2 (a measure of oxygen use during exercise) is different for females. The purpose of this study is to test 4 different exercise testing protocols to compare measured oxygen consumption in females and males with CAD (disease caused by the buildup of plaque in the artery walls which can lead to insufficient amounts of blood, nutrients and oxygen being supplied to the heart). The 4 exercise tests that will be completed on the treadmill are the modified Balke, modified Bruce, modified Naughton and University of Ottawa Heart Institute Slow Ramp protocols. Each test has a different stage duration (the amount of time that the test remains at a pre-determined speed and incline), and incremental increase in speed and incline. The main purpose of this study is to compare VO2 peak (the maximal amount of oxygen utilized during the exercise test) of females and males with CAD in 4 different exercise protocols. For example, the investigators will find out: 1. which exercise protocol is more likely to achieve a higher peak V̇O2 in females and which protocol is more likely to achieve a higher peak V̇O2 in males, 2. if enjoyment affects the duration of the test, and 3. how different exercise test protocols will provide different results of maximal oxygen used by the participant's body during the exercise test.
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy, safety, and cost-effectiveness of AI-Gatekeeper software to assist clinicians in the diagnosis of coronary artery disease by predicting coronary artery stenosis (≥50%) from a multimodal AI technology that integrates clinical risk factors and baseline blood tests, including chest X-ray, electrocardiogram, and echocardiogram, in patients with suspected coronary artery disease (coronary stenosis).
The purpose of the study is to implement a multimodal lifestyle intervention over 3 months in individuals ≥ 60 years of age with coronary heart disease and to examine the adherence to this intervention program. The intervention focus on three main themes: physical activity, healthy nutrition and, if necessary, smoking. The framework is formed by a psychological component: views on ageing.
In this study, patients were retrospectively included, univariate and multivariate analysis of factors affecting their diagnosis inconsistencies was performed, and a new diagnostic model was constructed by logistic regression.
The study seeks to address the clinical question of how effectively a novel cutting balloon (Wolverine™) can modify calcified lesions for stent implantation in comparison with a non-compliant (NC) balloon, particularly when used alongside a bioabsorbable polymer-coated everolimus-eluting coronary stent (Synergy™). Most previous researches on cutting balloons focused on only severe calcifications and had limitations such as small sample sizes with retrospective designs, emphasizing on short-term imaging outcomes. This study differs by including mild to severe calcifications and evaluating long-term clinical outcomes, intraprocedural factors, and operator convenience. It aims to provide evidence that could potentially expand the indications for cutting balloon use and inform insurance coverage policies. The objective of the study is to test the safety and efficacy of the cutting balloon in preparing calcified coronary lesions for stent insertion compared to conventional methods.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of Coroflex ISAR NEO stents in comparison to other drug-eluting stents (DES) in real-world practice.
