Filter by:Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) inhibitors have been shown to improve cardiovascular outcomes when added to conventional statin therapy. This study aims to investigate the efficacy and safety of in-hospital initiation of PCSK9 inhibitor among patients with acute myocardial infarction(AMI) based on real-world experience. A total of 7556 AMI patients from the biobank database between January 2016 and December 2020 were screened for eligibility. After excluding those without revascularization or Statin based therapy, the remaining 5802 Statin users, 801 Statin plus Ezetimibe users and 170 Statin plus Evolocumab users (including 95 users without and 75 users with Ezetimibe), were selected for this study. Then, 1st and 3rd-month follow-up data were collected and analysed, including in-hospital mortality, readmission rate and lipid profiles
This study is a prospective, no-randomized, single-center study performed on 15000 consecutive coronary artery patients from Dec. 2016 to Oct. 2021. All these patients were detected CYP2C19 genotype. The antiplatelet treatment was recorded according to the therapy actually adopted by the patients.
This work suggests a methodology to adapt the injected radionuclide activity to the level of attenuation of each patient. The investigators propose a dose reduction adapted to the patient's weight, with no significant degradation of the image quality, in order to improve patients and staff radioprotection, standardize the image quality for easier clinical interpretation, and lead to radiopharmaceutical saving in the context of myocardial perfusion Imaging.
18F-FDG PET imaging is now considered the most effective method used in the clinical evaluation of viable myocardium. However, the need for fasting or glucose and insulin loading in the 18F-FDG PET protocol makes it unfavorable for a certain group of patients (i.e., insulin-resistance and diabetic patients). XTR003 is a fatty acid analog used for PET imaging, developed at the Beijing Anzhen Hospital affiliated to Sinotau Pharmaceutical Group. XTR003 is a promising fatty acid analog and perhaps have a potential clinical utility in the evaluation of viable myocardium. This phase I study investigated the safety, biodistribution, radiation dosimetry and Pharmacokinetics of XTR003 in 10 Chinese normal healthy volunteers both male and female between the ages of 18-40.
Drug-Coated Balloon (DCB) angioplasty is similar to plain old balloon angioplasty procedurally, but there is an anti-proliferative medication paclitaxel coated on the balloon. Treating in-stent restenosis (ISR) with the DCB has the theoretical advantage of avoiding multiple stent layers and respecting the vessel anatomy. DCB has shown promising results for the treatment of ISR. Currently, DCB has a Class I indication to treat ISR recommended by European Society of Cardiology (ESC) guidelines. In addition, some interventional cardiologist has also applied DCB in de novo lesions in their clinical practice. Although some small sample size RCTs and observational studies have suggested that the clinical prognosis of DCB in primary large vessels is non-inferior to drug-eluting stent (DES), there is no large-scale RCT or cohort studies to compare the clinical effects of DCB and DES. Despite several theoretical benefits of DCB, the procedural-related complications cannot be entirely prevented, such as acute elastic retraction and severe dissection, which would affect coronary blood flow or lead to acute vascular occlusion. Some studies have suggested that optimization of the procedural technique can reduce the occurrence of complications and target lesion failure in the long-term. Proposed criteria include adapting cutting or scoring balloon for pre-dilatation, residual stenosis<30% post-DCB, maintaining TIMI flow=3, DCB dilation time<60s, and appropriate balloon to vessel ratio> 0.91. However, such proposed technique and criteria have not been evaluated in the real-world clinical practice. This current study is designed to investigate the efficacy and safety of DCB in the real world and exploring the optimal procedural configurations.
The primary objective of the BEST extended 10Y follow-up study is to compare the safety and effectiveness of coronary stent implantation using everolimus-eluting balloon-expandable stents with bypass grafting for the treatment of multivessel coronary artery disease at minimum of 10 years follow-up.
The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness, safety and tolerability of BMS-986141 added on to aspirin or ticagrelor or the combination on thrombus formation in both healthy participants and participants with stable coronary artery disease.
This is a multi-center, prospective and controlled clinical trial which will enroll 200 coronary arteriography or percutaneous coronary intervention with 2-4 interventional cardiologist. The interventional cardiologist performed 100 interventional procedures using either a new protective device (NPD) or a traditional lead clothing (TLC). The cumulative dose outside the NPD or TLC and the first operator at each height (110cm, 90cm, 50cm, 10cm) was measured. The main indicators of the study are the average X-ray shielding efficiency of the NPD and the TLC at four different heights. The investigators will record all operation information in this study.
Digital cardiology is gaining power in the field of preventive cardiology recently, and several trials have already shown good results of dietary therapy with digital cardiology. However, there has been no reports that showed effect of dietary counseling through digital cardiology for secondary prevention of coronary artery disease. TeleDiet study investigates the impact of dietary therapy with a smartphone application on the content of meals and metabolic parameters for patients with coronary artery disease.
The study aims to evaluate the safety and effectiveness comparisons between warfarin, dabigatran, and rivaroxaban in routine clinical practice among Japanese non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) patients with concomitant coronary artery disease (CAD).
