Filter by:The association between obesity and cardiovascular disease (CVD) has mostly been studied using broad endpoints or have focused on cause-specific mortality. The investigators aim to compare the effect of body mass index (BMI) on different types of initial presentation of CVD.
The hypothesis of this proposal is that in subjects with PAD, regular consumption of a high nitrate supplement which raises plasma nitrite, in conjunction with 12 weeks of supervised exercise training at the limb ischemic threshold (SET) will produce a greater clinical benefit (increases in COT and PWT) than placebo plus supervised exercise at the limb ischemic threshold (PET).
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of a 24- hrs L-arginine infusion on hemodynamic and on parameters of microcirculation in patients with peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAOD).
This post-approval study is designed to confirm the long-term safety and effectiveness of the EverFlex™ Self-Expanding Stent System for the treatment of atherosclerotic superficial femoral artery (SFA) and proximal popliteal arteries.
The objective of the study is to establish the safety profile of Intramuscular PLX-PAD injections and to evaluate the clinical efficacy of it in IC subjects comprising of 4 treatment groups: 1. Double treatment of PLX-PAD low dose 2. Double treatment of PLX-PAD high dose 3. Double treatment of Placebo 4. Single treatment of PLX-PAD high dose and additional treatment of Placebo. Subjects will receive the assigned treatment twice to the affected leg, within 12-weeks interval between each treatment. The study will be comprised of 5 stages: Screening period of up to 4 weeks,first treatment of PLX-PAD or placebo followed by additional injection after 12 weeks and with follow-up of 12 months post second injection
A multi-center, post-CE Mark study designed to evaluate the performance of the Intact Vascular Tack-IT Endovascular Stapler™ in subjects with vascular flaps (e.g.; post-angioplasty dissection) resulting from percutaneous transluminal balloon angioplasty (PTA) of superficial femoral or popliteal artery(ies).
The primary purpose of this study is to assess safety and efficacy of the Drug Eluting Balloon (DEB) technology for the treatment of the Superficial Femoral Artery (SFA) ischemic obstructive vascular disease in patients presenting with long lesions. As secondary aim this study is going to explore treatment effect on a number of procedural and clinical endpoints in order to collect information to design a future comparative effectiveness study.
The aim of the study is to validate the Korean version of Walking Impairment Questionnaire in patients with peripheral arterial occlusive disease.
The objective of IMPACT (Investigation of Motivational Interviewing and Prevention Consults to Achieve Cardiovascular Targets) is to determine the best management strategy for patients undergoing cardiovascular intervention. IMPACT is a prospective randomized trial that will enroll 400 patients post-cardiovascular intervention. The study will compare different cardiovascular prevention strategies: (1) usual care, (2) cardiovascular prevention consult, and (3) cardiovascular prevention consult with a behavioral intervention program over a 6-month period. The trial hypothesis is that for patients undergoing a cardiovascular intervention, a prevention consult and behavioral intervention is superior to usual care in reducing cardiovascular risk. The primary endpoint will be non-HDL cholesterol. Secondary endpoints include other lipid values, metabolic risk, smoking cessation, physical activity, nutritional status, medication adherence and quality of life. IMPACT is scheduled to begin enrollment in the June of 2012.
The purpose of this study is to test the routine faisibility of a questionnaire to estimate walking impairment(The WELCH questionnaire) in patients investigated for suspected PAD.
