Filter by:This study evaluates the prognostic value and potential therapeutic impact of combined pressure and flow measurements in the evaluation of epicardial coronary stenosis and microvascular function.
The objective of this study is a comparative evaluation of Orsiro stent and of Resolute Integrity stent in terms of the extent of neointima formation at 4 months after implantation using optical coherence tomography (OCT).
To assess the feasibility in diabetics in a primary care setting of screening for NAFLD and advanced fibrosis, by using non-invasive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to estimate the hepatic proton density fat fraction (MRI-PDFF) and magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) to estimate hepatic stiffness.
Coronary atherosclerosis (ATS) is a degenerative-inflammatory artery pathology underlying the different clinical manifestations of coronary heart disease (CHD), from stable angina due to constrictive plaque growth obstructing artery lumen, to acute coronary syndrome (ACS), secondary to abrupt lumen occlusion by atherothrombosis at the site of a ruptured or eroded plaque. Major coronary adverse events (MACE) are known to be related to local factors, the so called "high risk plaque" characterized by large lipid-necrotic core with a thin fibrous cap, intraplaque hemorrhage, rupture, erosion, and to systemic, patient-specific, factors, contributing to the atherogenic genotype/phenotype of the so called "high risk patient", presenting with an abnormally activated thrombogenic and/or inflammatory state or increased plasma levels of atherogenic lipid species. The huge social and economic impact of CHD in western and developing countries is primarily due to the difficulty to identify and predict, in the clinical context, which "high risk plaque" in which "high risk patient" will cause, independently of stenosis severity, an acute coronary event such as myocardial infarction or sudden coronary death, which are often the first manifestations of CHD in a large proportion of otherwise asymptomatic subjects. Plaque burden, compared to stenosis, is recognized as a better predictor of ACS and coronary CT angiography (CCTA) is considered as the optimal non-invasive coronary imaging modality to assess and quantify plaque burden and to evaluate the functional significance of a stenosis, by computationally estimating fractional flow reserve. Moreover, molecular studies of CHD patients have mostly examined associations with clinical cardiovascular outcomes: associations with coronary ATS assessed by quantitative CCTA may provide insight into the pathophysiological role of several molecular species in plaque formation and growth, and elucidate their potential role as discriminative biomarkers of CHD. Based on these considerations, aim of this study is to collect and analyze all patient-specific clinical and epidemiological data and patient phenotype and genotype blood-derived molecular information, and to combine them with local high resolution non-invasive CCTA imaging of actual plaque burden as well as, prospectively, of its increase or de novo formation over a clinically relevant timespan. The expected result, following local and systemic data integration and modeling, is to optimize early diagnosis and risk stratification of CHD beyond current clinical models and scores and to help improving primary and secondary prevention of MACE. The overall design of this diagnostic and prognostic framework has been proposed to Horizon 2020 EU Call PHC30 and approved by the European Commission (Grant Agreement PHC30-689068). The Consortium includes major clinical European University Hospitals specialized in CHD imaging and treatment and the project study has obtained the endorsement of the European Society of Cardiovascular Imaging.
Develop time-to-event prediction and plaque phenotype classification models for patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease.
This is a blind evaluation, self-control, multicenter clinical trial designed to determine the diagnostic performance of CT-FFR from coronary computed tomographic angiography (CCTA), as compared to CCTA alone, for non-invasive diagnosis of the presence of a hemodynamically significant coronary stenosis, using invasive fractional flow reserve (FFR) as the reference standard.
A study comparing 2 groups: interval training and control group. Interval training group will perform a physiotherapy program based in exercises, at a high intensity, and stretching of muscles at the end. Control group will not perform any physiotherapy program. Several parameters will be evaluated at baseline, 2 months and 6 months: anxiety, depression, functional capacity, blood pressure, lipid profile, physical activity, ecc.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of supraphysiologic oxygen (hyperoxia) on myocardial function in anaesthetized patients with coronary artery disease.
Based on findings of the interim analysis of the ACTIVATE study showing 53% decrease of the incidence of all new infections with BCG vaccination, a new trial is designed aiming to validate if BCG can protect against COVID-19 (Corona Virus Disease-19).The aim of the study is to demonstrate in a double-blind, placebo-controlled approach if vaccination of participants susceptible to COVID-19 with BCG vaccine may modulate their disease susceptibility for COVID-19. This will be validated using both clinical and immunological criteria. At the same time, a sub-study will be conducted and the mechanism of benefit from BCG vaccination by assessing its effect on vascular endothelial function and mononuclear blood cells will be studied
Single-centre prospective study to characterize causes of dyspnea in stable patients with coronary artery disease and evaluate the possibility to determine the cause of dyspnea before in-depth examination.
