Filter by:Left main (LM) coronary artery disease is associated with high morbidity and mortality owing to the large myocardial territory at risk for ischemia. Evidence from randomized controlled trials supports that percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with drug-eluting stents (DES) for LM disease is an acceptable treatment strategy compared with coronary artery bypass graft surgery in patients with low or intermediate anatomic complexity. However in-stent restenosis (ISR) after DES in LM disease is still occurring with an incidence of 9,7%. Studies comparing the percutaneous coronary intervention with coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in the treatment of in-stent restenosis in unprotected left main have been scarce. While surgical revascularization is considered to be the standard treatment for this kind of stent failure, owing to a high risk of perioperative morbidity and mortality, the restoration of flow with PCI may be a reliable alternative. Additionally, it is not clear whether re-PCI is safe in these patients. Therefore, the purpose of the present study was to compare long-term outcomes following PCI or CABG for UPLM-ISR disease.
The study explored the influencing factors of exercise adherence of home-based cardiac rehabilitation in patients with coronary artery disease.
The study was designed to evaluate the left ventricular longitudinal strain and strain rate assessed by 2D-STI in patients with coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) or obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) , to investigate the effect of different types of ischemic heart disease on the LV systolic function, and to explore the value of LS on the diagnosis of coronary microvascular dysfunction.
Coronary heart disease and myocardial infarction have become a major threat to the health of our people. Their incidence rate and mortality rate are still rising. Dyslipidemia is one of the important risk factors. However, little is known about the genetic information of myocardial infarction and dyslipidemia, especially in Chinese population. This project aims to identify new loci related to myocardial infarction and blood lipid level in Chinese population, compare these gene variations with 94 gene variations related to myocardial infarction and blood lipid level in European population, and extract gene variations related to myocardial infarction and blood lipid level in Chinese population. In this case-control study, 3998 blood samples and 702 new blood samples were collected from the sample bank of Peking University Third Hospital and first hospital, respectively. The blood samples were collected from Asian heart disease hospital, Taiyuan cardiovascular disease hospital, Beijing Third Hospital and Shijingshan community follow-up population According to the results of carotid ultrasound or treadmill exercise test, the samples were divided into myocardial infarction group and control group, and the corresponding blood lipid levels were collected. The samples were genotyped by the metabochip gene chip of Illumina company. The data were processed by the calling algorithm of BeadStudio Gentrain 1.0 and the GenoSNP software. The related genes of myocardial infarction were analyzed by logistic regression, and the related genes of blood lipid level were analyzed by linear regression.
Background: Previous studies have reported that heart rate variability (HRV)-guided training is a better option for improving autonomic function and aerobic capacity (i.e., oxygen uptake and power output at second ventilatory threshold and maximal exercise) during a cardiopulmonary exercise test compared to predefined training in sedentary and physically active healthy people. Nevertheless, none of these previous studies have been carried out with coronary artery disease (CAD) patients. Methods: A total of 23 patients with CAD were divided into HRV-guided training group (HRV-G; n = 11) and predefined training group (PRE-G; n = 12). All patients trained three days a week for eight weeks (18 sessions). Patients allocated in the PRED-G carried out a previously established cardiac rehabilitation programme, combining sessions of moderate and high intensity, while patients allocated in the HRV-G carried out sessions of moderate or high intensity on the basis of their daily HRV assessments. The weekly averaged and isolated parasympathetic-related HRV indices, heart rate recovery, resting heart rate, and aerobic capacity were assessed before and after of the training programme.
A retrospective analysis of all patients that underwent carotid endarterectomy (CEA) for stenotic disease - diagnosed at pre-operative investigation - prior to CABG as staged operation within 6- months. The rate of postoperative stroke and complications was compared between CEA performed under Local anaesthetic (LA) to those performed under General anaesthetic (GA).
Aims: Nondiabetic patients have been studied to determine whether modest elevations in plasma mannose levels may be associated with a greater incidence of coronary artery disease (CAD). Methods: The plasma mannose, lipids (triglyceride, LDL, HDL, LDL, VLDL) and LDH levels were successfully will be evaluated with respect to subsequent coronary artery disease using records 120 nondiabetic patients and 120 healthy volunteers. CAD was identified from myocardial infarction and new diagnoses of angina. The associations between mannose levels and serum lipid parameters will be investigated.
Coronary artery bypass graft surgery is the standard surgical treatment for coronary disease. However, there is no consensus on analgesic management in patients undergoing CABG. The aim of the study is to evualuate efficacy of bilateral transversus thoracis muscle plane (TTMP) block combined with systemic analgesia, compared to systemic analgesia only, in patients undergoing elective on-pump CABG surgery. Our main hypothesis is that a bilateral TTMP block performed after CABG surgery could reduce morphine consumption during the first 48 hours. The investigators conducted an age, gender and type of surgery-matched retrospective cohort study in the Montpellier University Hospital (France).
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is caused by atherosclerosis of the artery and is classified into coronary artery disease, cerebrovascular disease, and peripheral arterial disease, depending on the location of the artery and the target organs. However, since CVD share a similar pathophysiology and the probability of incidence of other CVD in CVD patients is very high. It is thought that CVD incidence and mortality can be reduced by predicting the degree of incidence of other CVD in CVD patients. The aim of this study is to investigate the incidence and mortality of other CVD diseases in CVD patients.
The study aim is to evaluate whether DPP4-inhibitor could reduce coronary atherosclerosis assessed by CT scan in patients receiving insulin for diabetes mellitus. In this retrospective study, change in coronary calcium burden between two coronary CT scan will be compared in patients with and without receiving DPP4-inhibitor.
