Filter by:To evaluate whether nicorandil as an adjunctive therapy for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) reduces reperfusion injury.
To evaluate the contribution of the assessment of endothelial dysfunction (ED) in improving coronary hearth disease (CHD) risk stratification obtained by the Framingham risk score (FRS) in rheumatoid arthritis population (RA).
This study is being done to compare the blood flow measurements obtained with the SPECT and PET imaging scans. Measurements such as myocardial blood flow (MBF) and myocardial flow reserve (MFR) are analyzed on PET scans. These measurements give the doctors more precise information in diagnosing heart problems. SPECT scans, with new camera technology and computer software, now have the potential to also give this additional information. The study is investigating how well the blood flow measurements from SPECT compared to PET.
In-stent restenosis is a major reason of coronary heart disease recurrence .Even in drug eluting stent(DES), Restenosis rate could be up to 10% in diabetes and complex lesions though it was about 3-5% in general. It is particularly important that in-stent restenosis after implantation was early diagnosed and detected. The evaluation of OCT imaging is more accurate for narrow area calculation, more clear for narrow organization structure and more specific for detecting tissue types.It is currently the best way for restenosis histologic diagnosis.But it has many weakness such as the higher cost,an invasive test, expensive instrument, relatively complicated to operate,and etc.In this study, OCT image was regard as the "gold standard" of stent restenosis. The improvement of spatial resolution of Gemstone CT can effectively improve the imaging quality and the measurement's accuracy of coronary artery stents.The diagnostic value of in-stent restenosis of Gemstone CT is higher than of the 320-detector row spiral CT. To a certain extent, the gemstone CT can replace OCT for examining the in-stent restenosis. This study will examine the degree of in-stent restenosis by the gemstone CT and the 320-detector row spiral CT and compare the two ways on the basis of the result of OCT.
The essential arterial hypotension and allostasis registry is a prospective, observational research that has the purpose of demonstrating that essential blood pressure (BP) disorders and the associated comorbidities are a result of the inappropriate allostatic response to daily life stress. This required a functioning brain orchestrating the evaluation of the threat and choosing the response, this is a mind-mediated phenomenon. If the response is excessive it contributes to high BP, if deficient to low BP, and the BP itself will identify the allostatic pattern, which in turn will play an important role in the development of the comorbidities. To do so, consecutive patients of any age and gender that visit a cardiologist's office in Medellin, Colombia, are recruited. Individuals are classified according to their arterial BP and allostasis and follow them in time to see what kind of diseases develops the most (including BP) in the follow up according to the categorization of the characteristic chosen and after adjustment for confounder's variables. In addition, stress events with their date are registered. HYPOTHESIS The causes of the diseases are multifactorial. Physical, biochemical, psychological, social, and cultural dimensions of development dynamically interact to shape the health development process. A person´s health depends on their: 1. Biological and physiologic systems 2. External and internal environment (a) physical, b) internal behavioural and arousal state as registered by the brain. 3. Their interaction. The allostatic mechanisms to the internal and external stressors (allostatic load) involves a network composed by: 1. Functional systems; mediated by: 1. The Autonomic Nervous System 2. The endocrine system 3. The immune system 2. Structural changes: whenever the internal and/or external stressors are long lasting and/or strength enough, they may induce changes in: 1. Epigenetic, endophenotypes, polyphenism. 2. Plasticity 3. The interaction between a) and b). The network response do not affect exclusively the BP, propitiating the development of comorbidities, which may prompt strategies for prevention, recognition and ultimately, treatment. The allostatic model defines health as a state of responsiveness. The concept of psycho-biotype: The allostasis is the result of both: biological (allostasis) and psychological (psychostasis) abilities. It is proposed that both components behave in similar direction and magnitude. Immune disorders may be associated with the development of cancer. High BP population has a higher sympathetic and lower vagal tone, this has been associated with a decrease in the immune´s system function. Resources and energy depletion: Terms like weathering have been used to describe how exposures to different allostatic loads gradually scrape away at the protective coating that keeps people healthy. It is postulated that High BP individuals have more resources and energy.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the differences of wall shear stress distribution among different types of drug-eluting stents and its impact on vessel healing evaluated by intravascular optical coherence tomography evaluation.
The Impact of Compound danshen dropping pill for coronary heart disease (CHD) heart and artery structure and function in patients with hypertension
To study whether renal sympathetic denervation(RSD) will reduce the all-cause mortality and the recurrence rate of a composite of cardiovascular event(including angina, myocardial infarction, repeat percutaneous coronary intervention and coronary artery bypass grafting) in patients after percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI). Besides whether RSD can reduce the risk factors for coronary heart disease.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate serial changes of neointimal coverage after everolimus-eluting stent implantation at 3-, 6- and 12-months by OCT examination.
The study is designed to assess the effect of statin on atherosclesrosis progression as well as to explore its potential mechanism besides lipid modifying , such as effect on inflammation and vascular calcification.
