Filter by: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.
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.
Purpose: To investigate any relationship between choroid thickness (CTh) and coronary artery disease (CAD), particularly in its earlier stages before clinically evident. Design: Retrospective, cross-sectional observational study Methods: Setting: The study was performed in two institutions; patients were recruited in Balikesir City Hospital. The ophthalmological examinations and coronary angiograms were performed in Balikesir City Hospital. The analysis of the coronary angiograms including Gensini scoring were conducted in Bursa Education and Research Hospital. Study Population: The study group comprised 68 patients with documented CAD and 60 healthy control subjects. Patients with high myopia, cataracts, retinal vascular disease, retinal surgery, retinal dystrophy, laser photocoagulation, intravitreal anti-VEGF treatment, glaucoma, uveitis, retinal disorders, any systemic diseases were excluded from the study groups. Observation Procedure: Refractive examination, corrected visual acuity, intraocular pressure measurements, anterior and posterior segment examinations. Following measurements of macular thickness and retinal nerve fiber layer, choroidal thickness of both eyes was assessed by enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography.
This project aims to improve direct patient care by reducing the risks of futile exposure to ionizing radiation and iodinated contrast in patients referred for coronary computed tomography angiography
To compare the effects of Theraband Resistance Training with Conventional Resistance Training on muscle strength in coronary artery diseases
This trials aims to assess, in 240 eligible patients with coronary heart disease, the effects on level of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) changes from baseline to 12 weeks of Xuesaitong Soft Capsules.
Stress perfusion cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging is an established non-invasive imaging test for detection of obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD). Fully automated quantitative perfusion CMR (QP CMR) is a new technical advancement, which offers measurement of myocardial blood flow in CMR. Additionally, recent innovations have introduced various contrast-agent-free methods for CAD assessment, such as stress T1 mapping reactivity (∆T1) and oxygen-sensitive CMR (OS CMR). These methods might eliminate the necessity for contrast administration in clinical practice, simplifying, reducing time, invasiveness and costs in evaluating patients with suspected obstructive CAD. The ADVOCATE-CMR study aims to validate QP CMR, ∆T1 and OS CMR imaging against invasive fractional flow reserve (FFR) for detection of obstructive CAD. The study also aims to head-to-head compare the diagnostic accuracy of these CMR techniques with the conventional visual assessment of stress perfusion CMR and to correlate them to short- and long-term clinical outcomes.
The VICAD-RISK study assesses if visualization of coronary CT angiography images in participants with non-obstructive coronary artery disease will improve LDL lowering, reduce reporting of side effects by cholesterol lowering medications, and modify the coronary artery disease phenotype over 12 months.
The CLIMATE-II Observational Study examines to what extent chronically ill patients experience adverse health effects because of heat and whether the patients' specific health behavior, somatosensory amplification, risk and benefit perception, self-efficacy, health literacy, degree of urbanisation of the patients' administration district and characteristics of the patients' neighborhood are associated with these effects.
The purpose of this study is to utilize an innovative healthcare delivery strategy via telehealth group counseling sessions to improve engagement, adherence, and ultimately outcomes in female patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD).
