Filter by:This is a retrospective study, designed to be conducted at a single-center in the US. The study will conduct a one-time data abstraction from approximately 500 patient medical charts who received Age/Sex/Gene Expression score (ASGES) also knows as Corus CAD testing, by order of the Principal Investigator. Limited demographic data and patient data pertaining to cardiology referral or advanced diagnostic testing will be collected. All data will be collected anonymously.
Despite efficient antiretroviral treatment for HIV infection, decrease in life expectancy remains. Excess mortality is mainly due to non-AIDS co-morbidity including cardiovascular, pulmonary, and liver related diseases. Both HIV-unrelated and HIV-related risk factors probably contribute to this pattern. At present, most evidence regarding co-morbidity in HIV infection rely on cross-study comparisons of HIV-infected persons with published population rates and few prospective studies in U.S. cohorts. Using well characterized participants from the Copenhagen General Population Study (CGPS) as controls, we aim to include >1500 HIV-infected persons in the COCOMO study to determine if co-morbidity is more prevalent or develops at a higher rate in HIV-infected persons. The study will asses 1) cardiovascular, 2) pulmonary and 3) liver-related co-morbidity using uniformly collected data in the two cohorts. The investigators aim to study the relative impact of HIV-unrelated and HIV-related factors on development of co-morbidity.
The purpose of this study is to understand the use of Corus CAD also known as Age/Sex/Gene Expression score (ASGES) in the clinical decision making process of patients who underwent the evaluation of chest pain or anginal equivalent symptoms. Specifically, to better understand whether the use of the assay in clinical decision making resulted in changes in noninvasive diagnostic test ordering or diagnostic yield of additional tests ordered and/or invasive angiography.
This retrospective study will investigate clinician behavior in diagnosing patients with possible obstructive coronary artery disease who received a Corus CAD (Age/Sex/Gene Expression score - ASGES) result compared to patients who did not have the test performed (matched control patients).
Argatroban is a selective thrombin inhibitor, and previous study had suggested that argatroban use post percutaneous coronary intervention could potentially prevent reocclusion. But there has no study on large sample of argatroban treated restenosis vertebral artery stenting. This study will test the safety and efficacy of the argatroban on prevent Occlusion and Restenosis in patients with Extracranial vertebral Artery Stenting.
The overall goal of this clinical study is to investigate how dietary cholesterol intake influences the plasma Total cholesterol (TC), LDL-Cholesterol levels and cholesterol metabolism between adults who had been breast-fed as infants as a function of the duration of breast feeding and quantity of early cholesterol intake. The study also aims to evaluate the effect of a plant sterol formulation in low fat milk shake in modulating the lipid profile favorably in the study population.
The PRESET Registry--A Registry to Evaluate Patterns of Care Associated With the Use of Corus CAD (Age/Sex/Gene Expression score - ASGES) in Real World Clinical Care Settings (PRESET)--was designed as an observational, post-market, real-world registry to evaluate patterns of care, including referrals to a cardiologist, cardiac stress testing, CT angiography, within the first month after Corus CAD (ASGES) testing.
This is a prospective, multi-center study examining the clinical impact of the Corus CAD (Age/Sex/Gene Expression score - ASGES) assay in approximately 250 evaluable subjects with no history of obstructive coronary artery disease who now present with chest pain or anginal-equivalent symptoms to a primary care physician (PCP) for evaluation.
The objective of this study is to collect data on the commercial use of Corus CAD (Age/Sex/Gene Expression score - ASGES) blood test to evaluate the clinical referral patterns of Primary Care Physicians after receipt of their patients' Corus Score, and to better understand patient management patterns for clinicians ordering the test.
This is a prospective, single-center study that aims to evaluate the acute and delayed effect of exercise stress testing on the peripheral gene expression (PGE) levels using a predefined gene set established in the Corus CAD (Age/Sex/Gene Expression score - ASGES) test in subject with known obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) and in control subjects (without known CAD).
