Filter by:This study will retrospectively review and compare clinical outcomes between left atrial appendage occlusion with dual antiplatelet therapy versus conventional antithrombotic therapy in patients with atrial fibrillation undergoing drug-eluting stent implantation.
Background: Cardiac rehabilitation is indicated for ischemic heart disease patients; the program content of which is well described in both European and American guidelines. In contrast, literature on cardiac rehabilitation program content and efficacy in the Asian population is sparse. Methods: BeSingCardioRehab will be an intercontinental, retrospective cohort study conducted in two cardiac rehabilitation referral centers in Belgium and Singapore. The first aim is to compare the impact of phase II center-based cardiac rehabilitation on Major Adverse Cardiac Events for ischemic heart disease patients between Europe (i.e. Belgian) and Asia (i.e. Singaporean) in the long-term. The second objective is to compare the efficacy of phase II cardiac rehabilitation on short-term morbidity (assessed with the validated SMART Risk Score) between index European and Asian ischemic heart disease patients. The level of compliance of the Belgian and Singaporean cardiac rehabilitation programs to European guidelines standards will also be evaluated. Hypotheses BeSingCardiorehab will be one of the first studies assessing cardiac rehabilitation in Asia. Based on the BeSingCardioRehab study results, phase II center-based cardiac rehabilitation programs, can/will be adapted in order to improve program content and outcomes.
This is a prospective, non-randomized, open label, multi-center study including 60 patients with symptomatic ischemic heart disease with 70%-100% coronary artery stenoses and occlusions enrolled and treated in this investigational device study.
Left distal transradial approach (ldTRA) can be an attractive alternative route for left radial and right radial artery. Recently, Ferdinand Kiemeneij reported the feasibility and safety of the use of ldTRA. But, there is few studies focused on this issue. Therefore, the purpose of this prospective observational study is to assess the feasibility and safety of the ldTRA for CAG and PCI.
This study aims to evaluate the psychometric properties of a newly developed FFQ specified for northern Chinese CHD and their high risk patients (CHD-FFQ). The psychometric properties include test-retest reliability, content validity, convergent validity, discriminant validity, concurrent validity and predictive validity. Particularly, this study will measure the physiological indicators, including plasma lipid profile (i.e. TG, TC, HDL-C, LDL-C), BG, BP and BMI twice at baseline and the end. The level of these physiological indicators will be compared with the fat intake measured by the CHD-FFQ, i.e. the baseline intake to test its convergent validity. It is also expected to predict the diet-related progression of CHD risks among high-risk individuals, i.e. patients with two or more CHD risk factors as following: raised fasting blood glucose (BG) level, increased blood pressure (BP), increased triglycerides (TG), decreased HDL-Cholesterol (HDL-C), increased LDL-Cholesterol (LDL-C), smoking and central obesity (International Diabetes Federation, 2015). In addition, this study will provide the FFQ's concurrent validity in assessing the intake of energy and nutrients against the CDC-FFQ. Moreover, whether the FFQ could detect the known differences in energy intake between men and women will be established for its discriminant validity.
This is a Prospective, Open label, Non-randomized, Single-Arm, Multicenter Study to Evaluate the Procedural Safety and Efficacy of ELCA® in Treatment of Patients with Single or Multivessel Coronary Artery Disease (CAD). Up to 30 patients will be enrolled at up to 05 Indian study sites. Patients will be followed from enrollment through 30 days ± 7 days for the effectiveness and safety endpoints at the study centre.
The purpose of this study is to determine if the routine use of a sheathless 7F guide catheter for transradial percutaneous coronary intervention (TR PCI) is non-inferior to a 6F sheath/guide combination with regards to radial artery injury (radial artery intimal-medial-adventitial thickening). To evaluate the radial artery, ultrahigh resolution ultrasonography (55 mHz) will be used to accurately quantify radial artery intimal-medial-adventitial thickness (IMT) at baseline and 90 days. A non-inferiority analysis will be performed to compare the degree of radial artery IMT at 90 days between the 7F sheathless guide approach and the 6F sheath/guide combination.
To evaluate the clinical safety and efficacy of a new Medtronic Coronary Drug-Coated Balloon Catheter in the treatment of de novo lesions, small vessel disease or In-Stent Restenosis with coronary lesions previously treated with drug-eluting or bare metal stents in native coronary arteries.
Elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is often associated with myocardial necrosis evidenced by peri-procedural troponin release. This is a surrogate for subsequent cardiovascular events. There is no study on the effect of peri-PCI oxygenation in in myocardial protection and cardiopulmonary fitness outcome. Patients with higher baseline cardiopulmonary fitness will have lower mortality. This study is to assess the utility of oxygen to reduce ischaemia in patients with significant stable coronary artery disease scheduled for elective PCI. The secondary objective is to evaluate further effect of peri- PCI oxygenation on cardiovascular fitness and autonomic response.
This study is intended to investigate the pharmacodynamic drug-drug interaction as well as the safety and tolerability of isosorbite mononitrate and vericiguat in patients with stable coronary artery disease.
