Filter by:The main goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the feasibility of conducting a large-scale clinical trial testing a program containing several aspects for reducing the effects of air pollution on cardiovascular health (which is named the hybrid program hereafter) in adult patients (18 years or older) with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Furthermore, we seek to answer how much patients adhere to and are satisfied with implementing the hybrid program, and what problems executing this program will bring for patients.
The aim of this research, proposed and funded by PlaqueTec and co-ordinated by Papworth Trials Unit Collaboration, is to demonstrate the performance of the coronary artery blood sampling device (Liquid Biospy System, LBS) and establish its usefulness to collect a range of disease biomolecules from the coronary artery of interest. Using the data generated from extensive analysis of the blood samples, key biomarker data will be generated that will close a knowledge gap and facilitate the development of tailored treatments for coronary artery disease.
Carotid plaque burden and composition features, particularly lipid necrotic core, are significantly associated with severity of CAD stenosis. This study aims to explore the relationship between various phenotypic patterns of carotid atherosclerosis with the prevalence, phenotype, and severity of coronary atherosclerosis. The patients with chest tightness or chest pain will receive carotid artery ultrasonography before coronary angiography so as to explore the relationship between them.
This is a prospective pilot study to evaluate the safety, tolerability and technical feasibility of utilizing carbon dioxide for assessing coronary blood flow in subjects with coronary artery disease.
Participants are being recruited at the inpatient department of the National Medical Research Center of Cardiology on a 'all-comers' basis. The enrolled participants will be divided into the main group (diagnosed with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD)) and control (not diagnosed with ASCVD). The participants will have whole blood and serum collected at enrollment for further biobanking. A genome-wide association study will be carried out to determine the genetic determinants associated with atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease, acute coronary syndrome, etc., including a search for pathogenic variants.
The primary objective of this study is to determine whether a reduced radiation protocol (RRP) in which angiograms are acquired at ultralow radiation doses and then processed using spatiotemporal enhancement software can produce similar quality angiographic images as compared with standard techniques.
Stress cardiac MRI is crucial for diagnosing coronary artery disease in adults. Currently, it is mainly performed with vasodilators in specialized centers. Introducing mobile CMR units could increase accessibility, especially in rural areas, potentially reducing unnecessary invasive procedures. The objectives include demonstrating the feasibility of mobile stress perfusion CMR, detecting CAD using Regadenoson, and evaluating the image quality of GE-267 in real-world scenarios.
Coronary artery disease is a multifactorial disease. Traditional risk factors, such as obesity, diabetes, hypertension, stimulate the onset of an inflammatory process in the prone vessel and perivascular adipose tissue, which has not yet been clarified and is still being investigated. Coronary artery bypass grafting is an effective treatment of coronary artery disease, which has been shown to prolong survival. Perioperative analysis of the myocardial metabolic profile helps to identify appropriate markers and metabolites associated with early myocardial damage. This, in turn, helps to improve risk stratification by better understanding the mechanisms of the disease processes, in order to prevent postoperative myocardial infarction and its associated complications. Such indicators, which are related to the diagnosis and severity of coronary artery disease, as well as the prognosis of coronary artery bypass grafting, have been separately studied before, in the peripheral blood of patients with coronary artery disease, in healthy vascular tissues, such as mammary artery, compared to atherosclerotic tissue from the coronary artery, as well as in the epicardial adipose tissue, intraoperatively. The aim of the proposed study is to investigate and evaluate metabolic factors and biomarkers preoperatively, intraoperatively and postoperatively, in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting and their prognostic value regarding a) the severity of coronary artery disease (Gensini score, ejection fraction, acute coronary syndrome) and b) the outcome of surgery (indications of myocardial damage and / or infarction, low cardiac output syndrome and use of intraortic balloon pump, atrial fibrillation, 30-day mortality).
CAD-Man Extend is the long-term follow-up (clinical, laboratory, and computed tomography (CT) imaging) of a single-center, randomized, controlled CAD-Man trial comparing a CT-first strategy with a direct- invasive coronary angiography (ICA) diagnostic and management strategy, in 329 patients clinically referred for ICA with atypical angina or chest pain. Overall goal: The extension of CAD-Man follow-up (clinical, laboratory, and CT imaging) to approximately 10 years will provide the opportunity to compare plaque burden with CT-guided management versus direct-ICA at long-term and other endpoints.
In this retrospective study from professor Kojuri clinic registry, total number of 1017 patients with first angiography were included and all data were recorded from registry. Insulin resistance was calculated using laboratory data
