Filter by:Investigators recently developed the APPROACH electronic patient reported outcome (ePROM) Survey and Clinician Report tools to collect individual results from online quality of life and health status surveys for patients with coronary heart disease, and report them back to their treating clinicians. This pilot interventional study uses a pre-post design to assess whether implementing the ePROM system into routine care is feasible and acceptable to patients and physicians, and to inform feasibility for a larger clinical trial. Specifically, the investigators aim to evaluate use of the ePROM Patient Survey and Clinician Report among eligible outpatients with known or suspected coronary artery disease and their cardiologists. Additionally, the investigators aim to determine if the use of the APPROACH ePROMs Clinician Report in routine medical encounters is acceptable (based on administrative burden, ease of use, and time required) to patients and clinicians, and supports effective communication for management of symptoms of coronary artery disease.
The FAME-II trial was a prospective, multicenter, multinational, multi-continental, randomized clinical trial with an 'all comers' design. The overall purpose of the FAME-II trial was to compare the clinical outcomes, safety and cost-effectiveness of FFR-guided PCI plus optimal medical treatment (OMT) versus OMT alone in patients with stable coronary artery disease and in whom both PCI and medical treatment can be considered on the basis of the presently existing scientific evidence. FAME-II was conducted from 2009 to 2012 and 1-year, 2-year and 5-year results have been published. The purpose of this 10-Year Follow-up is to evaluate the 10-year major adverse cardiac event rate (MACE, defined as all-cause death, documented myocardial infarction, unplanned hospitalization leading to urgent revascularization). Patients will have to sign a specific informed consent for the present 10-year follow-up. This study will be conducted for about approximately 6 months.
The goal of this study is to compare the efficacy of a new harvesting technique for an arterial conduit(LIMA - Left Internal Mammary artery) in patients undergoing Coronary artery bypass grafting. The researcher will compare the 1. Time taken to harvest the artery 2. Flow of blood between the two techniques
The current study evaluated the diagnostic performance for myocardial ischemia of on-site automatic CCTA-derived FFR (CT-FFR) using a commercially available workstation as compared with invasive FFR as a reference. The diagnostic performance of CT-FFR was compared to that of CCTA diameter stenosis.
Exercise training in cardiac rehabilitation (rehab) is a key part of managing a patient with heart disease. It has been shown that cardiac patients who increase their aerobic ("cardio") fitness by exercise training live longer, have better quality of life, and stay out of hospitals more than patients who do not improve their aerobic fitness. The more a patient improves their aerobic fitness the greater the benefit. But it has been shown that more than half of patients do not improve their aerobic fitness even after participating in cardiac rehab. This may be related to how hard patients are asked to train (their training "intensity"). The way intensity is chosen in current programs is commonly based on a "one-size fits all" method that may not consider that different patients have different abilities. There are more personalized methods to determine training intensity that exist, but these have never been used in cardiac rehab. One method divides intensity into three zones (zone 1 = moderate intensity; zone 2 = heavy intensity; zone 3 = very high intensity) that are based on when an individuals' biological responses to exercise change. The purpose of this study is to see if this approach gives better results in terms of changes in aerobic fitness and if training in the different zones makes a difference. Three groups of patients will be asked to train for 3 months in one of the three intensity zones. Aerobic fitness before and after exercise training will be compared to see which intensity zone results in the largest change.
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate how walking in different environments affects the psychophysiological responses to the stress of individuals with coronary artery disease (CAD) according to their weather sensitivity. Awareness about the potential influence of weather sensitivity on the psychophysiological reactions to stress in patients with CAD disease may contribute to the planning and implementation of actions leading to improved medical care services and preventative measures that help to avoid the worsening of health and well-being in the future.
This study aims to assess the risk factors and evaluate the long-term outcomes of patients with coronary chronic total occlusion (CTO) treated with percutaneous coronary intervention or medical treatment.
The VITALYST Early Feasibility study (EFS) is designed to evaluate the feasibility and safety of the VITALYST System in subjects undergoing elective high-risk percutaneous coronary intervention (HR-PCI).
COMPLEX Registry is an investigator-initiated, retrospective, high-volume Polish single-center clinical registry enrolling 980 consecutive patients with complex coronary artery lesions treated percutaneously between September 2015 and December 2021. All data were collected prospectively as regards the clinical and technical endpoints. The study aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of new-generation, thin-struts DES in patients with complex CAD at long-term clinical follow-up. The primary endpoint of the study was the occurrence of TLR during follow-up. Secondary endpoints were a procedural success and the occurrence of MACE, including all-cause death, MI, or TLR.
Sodium-glucose contrasporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors make up an antidiabetic medication that promotes glycosuria. They are known to have an indirect reduction in cardiovascular complications, based on a series of in-depth studies. However, the effect of SGLT-2 inhibitors towards the thickness of epicardial adipose tissue and cardiac function in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) with coronary artery disease (CAD) patients in Malaysia has not yet been fully explored. Therefore, this study aims to determine the effects in epicardial adipose tissue thickness and its cardiac function in T2DM patients with CAD after the initiation of SGLT-2 inhibitors.
