Filter by:High bleeding risk (HBR) patients, comprising up to 50% of those presenting with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), are a high-risk group that is increasing in size due to an aging population. The optimal selection of the potency and duration of antiplatelet therapy to reduce the risk of recurrent ischemic and bleeding events in HBR patients is still a matter of debate. Multiple strategies to reduce bleeding during secondary prevention, such as reducing the duration of dual antiplatelet therapy, using single antiplatelet therapy with a P2Y12 inhibitor, or de-escalating to a lower potency or lower-dose P2Y12 inhibitor, have been proposed. De-escalation to a lower potency or lower-dose P2Y12 inhibitor is particularly attractive because it maintains efficient pharmacological inhibition of multiple platelet pathways while potentially reducing bleeding through less aggressive activity. Yet, there has been no study comparing the effects of different de-escalation strategies with the standard potent P2Y12 inhibitors in HBR patients. The aim of the DESC-HBR study is to assess the impact of de-escalating P2Y12 inhibitor to clopidogrel 75mg, prasugrel 5mg or ticagrelor 60mg bid in HBR patients, in comparison with full-dose potent P2Y12 inhibitors, on the proportion of patients with optimal platelet reactivity (OPR). Secondary objectives involve exploring the effect of de-escalation on clinical events and patients' quality of life.
The T-ICE study is a prospective, observational study aiming to have information about the treatment and long-term prognosis of patients with isolated coronary artery ectasia.
This study is a multicenter, retrospective imaging study. The study intends to retrospectively enroll patients with acute myocardial infarction who had received coronary CTA in a certain time-window before this event. All coronary CTA will be analyzed by anatomic, functional and radiomic analysis, assisted by artificial intelligence. The purpose of this study is to establish a coronary artery disease risk stratification system by coronary CTA.
Chronic coronary syndrome (CCS) is the leading cause of death in women in the most developed regions of Brazil. The primary etiopathogenic mechanism is the process of atherosclerosis. A healthy diet rich in fruits and vegetables is associated with a lower incidence of CCS. The higher consumption of these foods promotes greater availability of phenolic compounds, and the higher intake of these compounds is one of the main hypotheses for vascular health. Quercetin, a phenolic compound, is the most abundant natural antioxidant belonging to the group of flavonoids. Quercetin improves lipoprotein metabolism, has an antioxidant capacity, produces vasodilating substances in the vascular endothelium, and reduces platelet aggregability. Likewise, statins are medications known to reduce cardiovascular events in women with CCS by reducing serum LDL-cholesterol levels and, to a lesser extent, by possible pleiotropic effects. In turn, SIRT1 is one of the 7 classes of proteins. It mediates various metabolic pathways in response to nutritional stimuli, particularly for caloric restriction and phenolic compounds, as well as coordinating the production and secretion of important hormones. However, the impact of quercetin supplementation and statin administration on serum endogenous estrogen levels is unknown
The goal of this 2x2 factorial clinical trial is to test the efficacy of i) colchicine, and ii) thiamine in heart failure (HF) secondary to ischemic heart disease. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does colchicine reduce the risk of cardiovascular (CV) death, a HF event, or an ischemic CV event - Does thiamine reduce the risk of cardiovascular (CV) death, or a HF event Participants will undergo the following procedures: - Run-in: All participants will receive colchicine 0.5 mg daily to assess drug tolerance over a 3-4 week period. - Randomization: If colchicine is tolerated during run-in, eligible participants will be randomized in a 2x2 factorial design to receive i) colchicine 0.5mg daily or placebo, and ii) thiamine 300mg daily or no thiamine. - Follow-up: Clinical outcomes, side effects, adverse events, and drug adherence will be captured during follow-up
The MEA cardiology societies have joined forces to tackle the issue by establishing a tangible real-world data registry in every MEA country. This endeavor has resulted in the development of a multicenter registry called MEA-WCVD, which is being sponsored by each national cardiology society from participating countries. All data gathered will be consolidated into a singular registry for thorough analysis. Country specific analysis will be performed.
It aimed to examine stress, anxiety and resorting to life paths to enable researchers to contain this stress.
This double-blind, randomized, crossover trial aims to test the hypothesis that longer-term indoor air filtration intervention can slow atherothrombosis progression by reducing indoor fine particulate matter (PM2.5) exposure in adults with ischemic heart disease history.
We will establish a cohort of 570 symptomatic chronic coronary syndrome patients undergoing 15O-water PET and assess their symptoms through repeated questionnaires. Two hundred patients with abnormal perfusion will be randomized to immediate or delayed referral to invasive coronary angiography with concomitant optimization of guideline-directed medical therapy with repeated 15O-water PET and questionnaires at 3 and 6 months. The primary objective is to compare the potential benefit of early invasive coronary angiography (ICA) versus guideline directed medical therapy (GDMT) on symptomatic relief defined as freedom of angina after 3 months following a positive [15O]H2O cardiac PET/CT in patients with symptomatic chronic coronary syndrome.
This is a self-controlled cohort study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of comprehensive treatment in patients with inflammation-associated rapidly-progressive coronary artery disease (IR-CAD) by comparing the study endpoints before treatment with those after treatment in the same group of patients.
