Filter by:The iFRCT study is a prospective, multicenter study to evaluate the diagnostic performance of iFRCT with the use of ≥64-detector row CT scanners for the detection and exclusion of significant obstructive coronary artery disease, defined by invasive fractiona flow reserve (FFR) as the reference standard.
The GLOBAL study is an international multi-center, prospective study designed to enroll up to 10,000 consecutive eligible subjects who are clinically referred for coronary CT angiography for assessment of suspected coronary artery disease (CAD). The purpose of the study is to perform extensive biomarker analysis of atherosclerosis in patients phenotyped using advanced imaging modalities of atherosclerosis.
This randomized controlled trial (RCT) will examine a case management program for patients suffering from coronary heart disease with multimorbidity in Mannheim, Germany. The trail consists of 3 treatment arms: 1) intensified case management; 2) social interaction alone 3) standard care. The main objectives are to evaluate how case management and social interaction alone compared to standard medical care affect the primary and secondary outcomes: physical health, quality of life, loneliness, depression, self-efficacy, outcome expectancies, social support, health locus of control, lifestyle behavior, social network, vulnerability, intention, severity, health worries and cognitive functions.
This study is a prospective, randomized controlled, single blind, two-arm, multicenter clinical evaluation. Diabetic patients (n=112) with de novo coronary artery disease will be randomized to one of the 2 treatment arms: 1) Reservoir-Based Polymer-Free Amphilimus-Eluting Stent or 2) Polymer-Based Everolimus-Eluting Stent. The purpose of this study is to determine whether Polymer-Free Amphilimus-Eluting Stent implantation is effective in reducing neointimal hyperplasia as compared to Polymer-Based Everolimus-Eluting Stent in diabetic patients, using Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) as the primary imaging modality.
This study is a prospective, observational study to estimate the relationship between dosage of clopidogrel and platelet aggregation in Chinese with different genotype. The investigators suppose both pretreatment dosage of clopidogrel before percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and CYP2C19 genotype may effect the platelet aggregation as well as clinical outcome.
Patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS) are at increased risk for acute kidney injury (AKI) when they undergo urgent/emergency coronary angiography. The optimal medical treatment for preventing the occurrence of contrast induced - acute kidney injury is still controversial. Fenoldopam mesylate is a dopamine A1 receptor agonist that augments renal plasma flow that has reduced the risk of radiocontrast dye nephropathy in some (but not all) preliminary studies. Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) is a new biomarker predictive for AKI already shown to be useful for earlier diagnosis of contrast induced nephropathy. The primary objective of this study is to to test the hypothesis that fenoldopam, in addition to standard treatment, reduce the occurrence of contrast induced - acute kidney injury in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) undergoing urgent/emergency coronary angiography and/or percutaneous coronary intervention.
Turner syndrome is a congenital complete or partial lack one of the female sex chromosomes affecting 1 of 2000 live born girls. The syndrome is characterized by an increased prevalence of ischemic heart disease, aortic dilation and dissection, hypertension, stroke and autoimmune diseases in general. Our study aim is: - Using MRI to further characterize and find risk factors leading to aortic dilation. - Using MRI to assess the degree of aortic distensibility. - Using Computed tomography x-ray scanning of the heart and coronary arteries to characterize the prevalence and degree of ischemic heart disease and coronary anomalies. - Using pressure sensitive ultrasound (applanation tonometry) to assess the degree of aortic stiffness when compared to controls using end points as Pulse Wave Velocity, Augmentation Index and Central Pulse Pressure.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that a BioFreedom™ Drug Coated Stent is non-inferior to a bare metal stent at one year as measured by the composite safety endpoint of cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction and definite/probable stent thrombosis, and that its efficacy is superior to a bare metal stent as measured by clinically driven TLR at one year.
This study will evaluate the influence of total atherosclerotic burden assessed by 3-vessel fractional flow reserve (FFR) on the clinical outcomes of the patients with multi-vessel disease. For this purpose, the clinical data of the patients with 3-vessel intermediate coronary artery disease, whose FFR was measured at all 3-vessels due to their own clinical needs, will be analyzed.
This study was advocated by Institute of Basic Research in Clinical Medicine, China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences in October 2011. It was funded by China major scientific and technological specialized project for 'significant new formulation of new drugs'. Dengzhanxixin is kind of Chinese Medicine injection used for treating Ischemic Stroke and coronary heart disease in many Chinese hospitals. The purpose of this study is to determine adverse drug events or adverse drug reaction in large sample size 30,000 patients.
