Filter by:Atherosclerosis (deposition of a plaque essentially composed of lipids on the artery walls) is a frequent condition and is a leading cause of death worldwide. In addition to the long-established risk factors such as age, hypertension, diabetes or sedentary lifestyle, it has been demonstrated that immune cells can participate in the genesis of atherosclerotic plaques through metabolic and mitochondrial reprogramming. A non-invasive marker of this immune reprogramming has yet to be identified. Through the comparison of a group of atheromatous patients and a group of non-atheromatous patients, this study aims to evaluate this reprogramming phenomenon using a novel non-invasive method. This monocentric interventional study will take place at the Dijon Bourgogne University Hospital and will include 50 patients divided into 2 groups: "atheromatous coronary patients" and "non-atheromatous patients". The duration of participation in this study is 1 month. This study is based on usually performed procedures. Only blood samples will be taken on a catheter usually used during any cardiac surgery in addition to the medical care that is provided during hospitalization.
In addition, studies have found that indobufen can inhibit coagulation function in rats. Compared with aspirin, the duration of antiplatelet efficacy of indobufen was shorter, and the platelet function recovered completely 24 hours after drug withdrawal. However, there are few studies on the antiplatelet efficacy of indobufen. The investigators' previous study found that the inhibitory effect of indobufen 100 mg Bid on COX system in atherosclerosis or healthy volunteers was equivalent to that of aspirin 100 mg QD, but the inhibitory effect on platelet COX-1 channel was significantly weaker than that of aspirin 100 mg QD. In view of this, this study intends to investigate the antiplatelet effect of indobufen 200 mg Bid in patients with coronary atherosclerosis by comparing it with conventional-dose aspirin 100 mg QD.
The OPTIMAL is a single-center, randomized trial to evaluate the efficacy of CGM-based glycemic control on atheroma progression in T2DM patients with CAD by using serial intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) imaging. A total of 90 eligible subjects will be randomized 1:1 into 2 groups to receive either CGM-based glycemic control or HbA1c-baded glycemic management. Coronary angiography and NIRS/IVUS imaging is repeated at the end of the assigned treatment period. Results: The primary endpoint is the normalized absolute change in total atheroma volume from baseline to 12 months. The secondary endpoints include (1) the absolute change in percent atheroma volume, (2) the percent change in lipid core burden index, (3) the change in coefficient variance measured by CGM, (4) the change in atherogenic markers (high-density lipoprotein functionality, proprotein convertase subxilisin/kexin type 9 and fatty-acid binding proteins), and (5) the frequency of hypoglycemia. Safety will also be evaluated.
This study proposes to develop an MRI technique named Coronary Atherosclerosis T1-weighed Characterization (CATCH) that will improve the quality and reliability of coronary atherosclerosis evaluation, as well as simplify the scanning process and significantly shorten imaging time compared with conventional imaging methods.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the rate of SYNERGY 48 mm stent strut coverage and assess neointimal progression via OCT measurement in patients who underwent PCI.
The aim of the study is to investigate whether the expression and production of adipokines secreted by the epicardial adipose tissue correlate with the degree of coronary atherosclerosis.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether olmesartan medoxomil is effective in the treatment of coronary atherosclerosis progression and epicardial adipose tissue(EAT) volume reduction in patients with coronary atherosclerosis detected by coronary CT angiography(CCTA).
The epidemic data shows that prehypertension is associated with cardiovascular disease, and heavy dietary salt intake could improve the developing of hypertension. We detected the risk factors of coronary atherosclerosis of prehypertensive patients with different levels of salt intake. The aim of this multicenter prospective, randomized controlled study is to evaluate regular physical exercise and salt diet effects on progression of coronary artery disease in patients with prehypertension.
To show the existence of a atrial cardiomyocytes membranes modification in omega-3 supplemented patients with coronary atherosclerosis.
To evaluate the prognostic value of coronary CT angiography (CCTA) for risk stratification in asymptomatic adults in comparison with conventional risk stratification (CRS) and coronary artery calcium scoring (CACS).
