Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine whether the total costs of care associated with uncomplicated elective or low-risk urgent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) through 30-day follow up are lower among patients who are randomly assigned to same day discharge (SDD) or overnight hospital stay (ON).
Myocardial necrosis is relatively frequent after percutaneous coronary intervention and is associated with higher mortality during the follow-up. Since anti-inflammatory properties of statins have been demonstrated and the benefit of statins in acute coronary syndromes have been proven, this study aims at testing the hypothesis that the pre-procedural intensive statin treatment reduce the extent of peri-procedural necrosis.
This study was a prospective, randomized trial designed to investigate the efficacy of moderate lifestyle modification for improving the clinical status of patients with coronary artery disease or patients with risk factors that promote coronary artery disease.
The overall aim of this trial is to study the safety and efficacy of ICD implantation as a primary prevention strategy of sudden cardiac death in patients 70 years and older. This study will assess the many competing factors involved with ICD implantation including 1) the impact on mortality, especially in the context of a declining rate of sudden death with advanced age, 2) the tolerability of the powerful therapeutic action of the device, and 3) the impact on quality of life.
The purpose of this study is to compare standard therapy (risk factor control, life style modification) versus standard therapy plus low-dose rosuvastatin therapy (5mg/day) on progression of coronary atherosclerosis in statin naive individuals who have mild CAD (nonobstructive coronary atherosclerotic plaques) and normal LDL (low-density lipoprotein) cholesterol levels(〈130mg/dl).
The DTS.DE registry is an initiative for the collection of high quality process and historical data of implantations with the COMBO Dual Therapy Stent in Germany. DTS.DE was designed as a national, non- randomized, prospective, multicenter registry without a comparison group. The responsible Steering Committee is of the opinion that the Combo stent qualifies for further documentation of treatment results in the form of a German registry, based the CE certification of the COMBO Dual Therapy stent in 2013 and its clinical and scientific investigation in the context of the REMEDEE study program, as well as company independent externally initiated studies with the COMBO Dual Therapy Stent. It is expected that by mid- 2015, at least 1,000 patients will be enrolled and documented in the DTS.DE registry with the COMBO Dual Therapy Stent. A clinical follow-up is performed after 6 weeks and 12 months.
Now, adipose tissue is established as an active endocrine organ that controls systemic energy homeostasis by secretion of adipokines. Recently, members of the C1q/tumor necrosis factor-related protein (CTRP) family have been reported to share structural homology with adiponectin. To date, 15 CTRP family members have been found that might play major roles in metabolism and inflammation. The investigators tried to clarify the relationship between CTRP family and coronary artery disease (CAD) in Korean men and women.
The goal of the research study is to observe the clinical safety, effectiveness and patient satisfaction of the AXERA 2 Access System in subjects undergoing coronary angiographic and possible Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) through the femoral artery when compared to standard manual compression.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether intra- and postoperative use of the cardioPAT® cell saver decreases the need for allogenic red blood cell transfusion in patients, who undergo open heart surgery (with cardiopulmonary bypass) and preoperatively have an increased risk for bleeding.
Post-operative atrial fibrillation (POAF) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality after a cardiac surgery. Both systemic inflammation and oxidative stress play a role in the initiation of POAF after a cardiac surgery. Epidemiological studies show a significant inverse correlation between cardiovascular risk and consumption of polyphenol-rich foods (PRFs), due to antioxidant, vasorelaxant and antithrombotic properties of their polyphenolic components. The main objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of polyphenol-rich food supplementation on post-operative atrial fibrillation (POAF) in patients undergoing an open heart surgery (mainly coronary artery bypass grafts (CABG) and valve replacement or repaired (VR))
