Filter by:To determine the efficacy of HS-25 (20mg) in reducing low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) levels after a 12-week period of treatment in combination with Atorvastatin in subjects with hypercholesterolemia and coronary heart diseases; To determine the safety of HS-25 (20mg) combination with Atorvastatin in subjects with hypercholesterolemia and coronary heart diseases
Objective of the study is to clarify humanin-like peptide concentration in myocard tissue and in blood and to study if its concentration level is related to early complication occurrence and frequency after cardiac operation. Hypothesis of the study is that previously described elements are related to each other.
To compare the immediate and long-term clinical outcomes between Balloon-Stent Kissing Technique (BSKT) and Jailed Wire Technique (JWT) for the interventional treatment of coronary bifurcation lesions.
Coronary heart disease (CHD) poses a major health burden in the Gulf countries. It is the leading cause of mortality and morbidity in the world and poses an enormous societal burden in the Gulf countries. Early detection of disease is imperative to reduce the health care burden and financial costs associated with CHD. Knowledge of novel genetic and proteomic markers of CHD will provide more precise estimates of risk while defining the pathways important in individual patients, revealing new targets for intervention, and ultimately enabling an individualized approach to care. To translate recent advances in genomics and proteomics into clinical practice, these newly discovered biomarkers will need to be evaluated in patients of diverse ethnic groups with varying characteristics, environmental factors, and medication use. The investigators propose to establish a biorepository of plasma and Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) linked to demographic and clinical variables to facilitate biomarker studies of CHD risk, progression, and outcome. The overarching goal in developing the Qatar Cardiovascular Biorepository (QCBio) is to create a resource that fosters research aimed at identifying novel biochemical and genetic markers of CHD. A biorepository with linkage to clinical data will also provide an invaluable resource for cardiovascular research, including genomic and proteomic studies of CHD and development of biomarkers for early detection of disease and personalized drug therapy (pharmacogenetics and pharmacoproteomics).
Although coronary heart disease (CHD) treatment guidelines recognize obesity as a major modifiable risk factor,2 nearly half of all CHD patients are obese and the current standard of care fails to implement evidence-based obesity treatment for this high-risk population. Multiple lines of evidence suggest that weight loss improves outcomes in CHD patients. The primary goal of this study is to determine the feasibility of adding a 6-month behavioral weight loss intervention to exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation.
In this study, the relative bioavailability of different formulations of AZD5718 will be determined in order to compare it with the formulation used in a previous Phase 2a study and confirm appropriate drug exposure. This study consist of 2 parts. In Part 1, 5 different formulations of AZD5718 would be provided to the participant in fasting condition in a randomized order. After evaluation of Part 1 a single formulation would be selected for dosing in fed condition in Part 2. Each participant will be involved in the study for approximately 5 to 6 weeks. Fourteen participants will be randomized to ensure at least 10 evaluable participants at the end of the last treatment period.
The aim of this study was to observe the effect of transcutaneous acupoint electrical stimulation (TAES) on postoperative heart rate variability and high-sensitive cardiac troponin T of elderly patients with coronary heart disease.
An investigator-driven, retrospective study to compare long-term survival-data (10-year follow-up) of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD), previously enrolled in the SYNTAX trial, who were randomized to percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) using a paclitaxel (TAXUS) drug-eluting-stent (DES) or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).
Recently, researchers have paid attention to the development of new products such as supplements food and nutraceuticals for identify and develop integrative therapies to be used in cardiovascular disease. As suggested by literature, some nutritional components (creatine, ribose) can enhance the fundamental energy levels for the functioning of the heart muscle and can enhance the body's antioxidant capacity through the reduction in free radicals activity, one of the main pathogenic mechanisms of these diseases. In this context, the investigators have developed a research with the principal purpose to establish whether a supplement of creatine and ribose can improve the total work capacity during exercise in a population of patients with known ischemic heart disease.
The purpose of the Surveillance is to know the frequency and status of adverse device effects and adverse events in order to assure the safety of the new medical device, and to collect efficacy and safety information for evaluating clinical use results.
