View clinical trials related to Myocardial Revascularization.
Filter by:The Global Cardiovascular Risk Consortium (GCVRC) comprises harmonized data from nearly 1.7 Mio individuals of 126 cohorts across 43 countries and aims to elucidate the distribution of five major cardiovascular risk factors (body mass index, systolic blood pressure, non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, current smoking, and diabetes) and their impact on cardiovascular disease (CVD) by geographical region and sex.
The aim is to evaluate the effectiveness of physical exercise on a cycle ergometer combine with CPAP in the postoperative period after myocardial revascularization
CONTEXT: In patients eligible for coronary artery bypass surgery, anesthesia should provide a number of conditions that exceed the limits of cardiovascular stability, myocardial protection and other organs. Moreover, the combination of general anesthesia and spinal anesthesia lessens the homeostatic, metabolic, hormonal and immunosuppressive changes. The goal of this research was to evaluate the consumption of fentanyl citrate in intra-operative in Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass under spinal anesthesia associated with general anesthesia. METHODS: Clinical, prospective, randomized and double covered study, approved by the Research Ethics Committee. Fifty-six patients candidates for CABG with CPB, after signing the Terms of consent, were randomized and divided into two groups: GI - General and GII - General + subarachnoid. General anesthesia was induced according to the weight of each patient and maintenance with isoflurane and fentanyl. Spinal anesthesia was induced with 20 mg of 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine and 200 mcg of morphine, the patient is placed in cephalo-position slope of 45 degrees for 10 minutes in Group II. In the statistical study was performed using the Mann-Whitney test; the level of statistical significance was set at 5%.
Current guidelines for the diagnosis and management of patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD) strongly support the performance of non-invasive imaging techniques for the detection of myocardial ischemia prior to revascularization procedures. This recommendation originates from the strong evidence base showing the lack of prognostic benefit from percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) over optimal medical therapy in patients without verification of myocardial ischemia. On the other hand, it could be demonstrated that patients with functionally significant coronary artery stenoses do benefit from revascularization. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) has emerged to be a diagnostic modality of choice for the detection of myocardial ischemia with high sensitivity and specificity. The investigators therefore designed this prospective and randomized trial to compare a CMR-driven vs. angiography-driven management of patients with stable CAD concerning major cardiac endpoints, futile angiographies and quality of life.
The aim of the present study is to investigate the possible effects of supplementation with 1.8 g/day of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids on cardiovascular morbidity and mortality during a follow-up period of 2 years in an elderly population after having experienced an acute myocardial infarction. The hypothesis is that this supplementation on top of modern therapy will reduce the combined cardiovascular end-point of death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, stroke, revascularizations or hospitalization for new or worsened heart failure with at least 30%.
Unprotected left main coronary artery (ULMCA) stenting, offering restoration of a native flow to left coronary artery, is the subject of intense investigations as a potential alternative to bypass surgery. The purpose of the study is to compare the short and long term results of unprotected left main stenting with coronary artery bypass surgery.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether MC-1 is effective and safe in reducing cardiovascular and neurological events in patients undergoing high-risk coronary artery bypass surgery
