Filter by:International, Multicenter, prospective, non-randomized, post-market clinical follow-up (PMCF) study to confirm and support the clinical safety and performance of Coroflex® ISAR NEO coronary stent system to meet EU Medical Device regulation (MDR) requirements in all the CONSECUTIVE patients treated with Coroflex® ISAR NEO coronary stent system sirolimus eluting stent.
Investigating the diagnostic accuracy of online Ultrasonic Flow Ratio (UFR) assessment to identify hemodynamically significant coronary stenosis in patients with suspected ischemic heart disease using angiography-derived fractional flow reserve (FFR) as a reference standard.
Real clinical practice register of Albuminuria detection in patients with previously undiagnosed chronic kidney disease
The aim of the present study will be to identify different phenotypes of microvascular dysfunction and their associations with the severity of anginal symptoms assessed through the Seattle Angina Questionnaire(SAQ-7).
The role of soluble circulating suppression of tumorigenicity 2 biomarker (sST2) in the ischemic heart disease patient is a debatable point. Therefore the aims of this study are to assess the plasma level of sST2 in ischemic heart disease patients versus non-ischemic ones, the acute changes in its level after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and its relation to the severity of ischemia.
In patients with 50-90% stenosis of the coronary artery, the coronary roadmap (dynamic roadmap) is performed when the conventional fractional flow reserve (FFR) and instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR) are performed. coronary roadmap system) to confirm the effectiveness of the function.
The goal of this observational study is to test the feasibility of intracoronary adenosine administration during coronary flow reserve(CFR) and index of microcirculatory resistance(IMR) assessment in a population with angina. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Repeatability of CFR and IMR assessment while hyperemia with intracoronary adenosine was administered. - Evaluate the correlation of the intrinsic signal of coronary waveform versus physiologic ischemia, while defined by fractional flow reserve(FFR) and CFR respectively. - The predictive value of FFR, CFR, and IMR on major adverse cardiovascular outcomes in 3 years Participants will undergo FFR, CFR, and IMR assessments in the catheterization laboratory of the National Taiwan University Hospital Hsin-Chu Branch, then clinical events follow up for 3 years.
Heart failure (HF) and acute myocardial infarction that often follows are among the main causes of disability and death worldwide. As such, new treatments and biological drugs are needed to protect the heart against the harmful effects of ischemia and also reperfusion injury (IRI), preserve cardiac function, reduce the zone of myocardial infarction (MI), and improve patient outcomes. In this regard, it has been shown that mitochondrial dysfunction has a key role in the pathogenesis of heart ischemia, cardiomyopathy, and reperfusion injury. in this study which includes 4 groups of intervention, we try to minimize the damage by transplantation of mitochondria and administration of MSC-derived exosomes. MSC-derived exosomes limit inflammatory damage while fresh autologous exosomes limit oxidative stress.
Extreme body weights (BW) or body mass index (BMI) affect the pharmacokinetics of antithrombotic drugs and consequently may affect cardiovascular risk during treatment. The goal of this clinical trial is to establish if clopidogrel treatment can be optimized in patients with a low or high BW compared to patients with a normal BW by adjusting the dosage of clopidogrel and evaluating platelet reactivity. Participants are stratified into three groups based on their BW (Low BW: BW <60kg; normal BW: 60-100kg; High BW: >100 kg) Clopidogrel dosage will then be adjusted to the BW, as follows: - Low BW: >10 days clopidogrel 50mg 1dd1, followed by >10 days clopidogrel 25mg 1dd1. - Normal BW: Clopidogrel 75mg 1dd1. - High BW: >10 days clopidogrel 150mg 1dd1 followed by >10 days prasugrel 10mg 1dd1. The primary endpoint of the study is P2Y12 Reaction Units (PRU) and platelet inhibition measured using the VerifyNow measured before starting new treatment regimen (at the end of 10 days of treatment).
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide. Advanced cardiovascular imaging using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has proven to be effective in providing gold standard myocardial tissue characterization. Moreover, the intrinsic advantage of MRI's lack of exposure to ionizing radiation is particularly beneficial. At the same time, blood work can be very useful in early detection of certain cardiomyopathy, such as amyloid. However, there is a lack of agreement of on which markers are the most sensitive. This multi-study will allow us the unique opportunity to form a more comprehensive understanding for various cardiovascular diseases. Our team has developed novel cardiac MRI techniques that leverages endogenous tissue properties to reveal a milieu of deep tissue phenotypes including myocardial inflammation, fibrosis, metabolism, and microstructural defects. Among these phenotypes, myocardial microstructure has proven to be most sensitive to early myocardial tissue damage and is predictive of myocardial regeneration. In this study, the investigators aim to further study the importance of cardiac microstructure revealed by MRI in patient and healthy population and compare this novel technology with conventional clinical biomarkers.
