Filter by:The goal of this study is to understand and compare an alternative model of care in comparison to the usual model of care in include male and female participants ≥18 years of age with a history of ASCVD (hear and blood vessels diseases) or high-risk participants who have elevated bad cholesterol (LDL-C ≥1.8 mmol/L). The alternative model of care includes telephone support calls from a study nurse (after visits 1,2 and 4) and text messages to your mobile phone with healthy heart information. The main question it aims to answer is to understand and compare an alternative model of care in comparison to the usual model of care by evaluating the study participants bad cholesterol values after 180 and 365 days of the study. Each participant will take their medications as per usual care but may have the addition of Inclisiran, 284 mg 1.5 ml liquid in a single-use prefilled syringe for under skin administration. In accordance with the current medical practice guidelines for treating heart related conditions, Inclisiran and its product information will be made available for use in both care models. All the participants who decide to take part in this study will be requested to do the following: - Answer any questions from the study doctor or the study staff as accurately as possible when asked about changes in health status, medications, heart health, visits to other doctors or hospital admissions, planned surgery, even if they think none of these are related to the study. - Study doctor will be able to inform them of which medications you can and cannot take as part of this study. - To use mobile phone to receive text messages and/or questionnaires as proposed in the new model of care. - Advise the study doctor if they plan to move away from the geographical area where the study is being conducted during the study period. - Take the medications for cholesterol lowering treatment (such as a statin and/or ezetimibe) that are prescribed by the study doctor. - Tell the study doctor or study staff as soon as possible about suspected participant / participant partner pregnancy. - Tell the study doctor or study staff if they change their mind about taking part in the study. - Attend all the visits (screening visit, visits 1, 2, 3, 4 and visit 5). - Provide all the information that will enable the study team to contact them, i.e., inform the study staff if contact details change, provide contact details of a family member, etc.
The objective of this randomized study was to compare outcomes of imaging-and physiology-guided state-of-the-art ercutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) to coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in patients with diabetes and three-vessel CAD (not involving left main).
Assess the usability and acceptance of the P-STEP app, through allowing participants with specific chronic conditions to pilot the app for 12-weeks.
The primary purpose of the study was to determine whether the 2-year probability of major adverse cardiac events (primary composite outcome) differed significantly between patients who underwent angiography-guided Percutaneous Coronary Intervention(PCI) and those who underwent Fractional Flow Reserve(FFR)-guided PCI in patients with Left Main Coronary Artery disease(LMCA).
Depression after an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) but also at any time after CAD diagnosis, is highly associated with death, and it predicts mortality more than any other risk factor, comorbidity or follow-up events, suggesting that the standard medical therapy may not be sufficient to prevent the poor prognosis in these patients. This study aims to assess whether depression might affect the response to dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) as recommended in coronary artery disease (CAD) patients. Specific aims: - to evaluate whether depression affects the antithrombotic response during Aspirin (ASA) plus clopidogrel (CLP) therapy in CAD patients. - to assess the antithrombotic effects of ASA plus ticagrelor or prasugrel (TCG/PSG) therapy in CAD patients with depression by evaluating pro-thrombotic phenotype in CAD patients with and without depression during ASA+TCG/PSG. - to assess whether there is or not the reactivation of pro-thrombotic profile after cessation of dual antiplatelet therapy in CAD patients with or without depression in single antiplatelet therapy after TCG/PSG cessation.
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to assess the impact of disclosing a high polygenic risk result for coronary artery disease on change in cardiovascular health over one year.
Feasibilty study of biochemical urine analysis of adherence to high intensity statin therapy in outpatients with coronary artery disease
Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and neoplasms are the main causes of death in Brazilian women. Coronary artery disease (CAD) and stroke were responsible for approximately 54% of deaths from CVD in this population. In Brazil, cancers were the second cause of death and in 2017 were responsible for 58% of deaths in women. CVD and cancer share some risk factors, and control of these factors is associated with a significant reduction in cancer incidence. These two causes of death, although apparently disparate, share similar lifestyles and health risk factors, suggesting some common pathways and basic molecular networks. In women, the presence of estrogen has protective effects against atherosclerosis and, with the decline in hormone production at menopause, the incidence and prevalence of CAD increase substantially. Although the estrogen pathway is supposed to have a central effect on this increased risk, it is still debated whether other non-estrogenic mechanisms are related, since hormone replacement alone does not reduce cardiovascular events. Sirtuins and soluble advanced glycation product receptors (sRAGE) are associated with increased vascular protection, while the role of apoptosis inhibiting proteins, a pathway linked to increased cancer incidence, is still unclear in the context of atherosclerosis. Resveratrol is a key activator of sirtuins and potentially modulates these metabolic pathways, reducing cardiovascular risk. This randomized, double-blind, parallel, placebo-controlled clinical trial will be carried out in 80 postmenopausal women with CAD to analyze the effect of treatment with resveratrol on serum concentration and gene expression of sirtuins-1 -3, in the serum sRAGE concentration and in the gene expression of apoptosis inhibitory proteins.
In patients with coronary heart disease who were treated with PCSK9 inhibitor evolocumab for intensive lipid-lowering therapy, the changes of retinal microvessels were measured with OCTA (Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography)before and after the treatment. The specific indicators included retinal microvessel diameter, macular area，optic disc vascular density and FAZ(Foveal Avascular Zone)area, etc., to clarify the effect of evolocumab on retinal microvessels after intensive lipid-lowering therapy.
This is a prospective observational study aimed at testing the existence of an association between frailty, inflammatory status, and degree of platelet activation and reactivity in elderly subjects with type 2 diabetes or coronary artery disease or Alzheimer's disease.
