The hypothesis of this study is that strut coverage occurs earlier when a DES is implanted to treat a BMS restenosis compared with atherosclerotic de-novo lesion. This hypothesis is supported by two different observations: first, when a DES is implanted to treat a BMS restenosis, stent struts are deployed and drugs are eluted on a soft tissue mostly characterized by extracellular matrix with a regular surface. In this case stent malposition is less likely to occur compared to atherosclerotic lesion whose surface is often more irregular and rich in calcium. Second, patients who develop in-stent restenosis after BMS implantation are likely to show a more pronounced neointima hyperplasia and, when a DES is implanted to treat restenosis, reendothelialization is likely to occur earlier. If this hypothesis was verified, duration of dual antiplatelet therapy could be shortened after DES implantation on BMS restenosis with a clinical advantage in terms of bleeding risk. Furthermore, a higher bleeding risk is often a reason for choosing a BMS instead of a DES; thus, patients presenting with BMS restenosis are likely to have a higher bleeding risk and to benefit from a shorter period of dual antiplatelet therapy.
Exercise training in patients with coronary artery disease is able to correct several risk factors. Furthermore endothelial function can be improved. There are some hinds for improved collateral circulation after exercise training, nevertheless there is no study showing significant improvement/ increase in coronary collaterals. This might be due to technique of collateral measurement. Therefore we conduct a study were coronary blod flow before and after 4 weeks of exercise training were measured.
The purpose of the study is to determine whether results of the computed tomography coronary angiography may be helpful in planning and performing percutaneous angioplasty in patients with stable angina pectoris.
The objective of the RAPID GENE study is to evaluate the feasibility, efficacy and safety of a pharmacogenomic approach to anti-platelet therapy following coronary artery stenting using a CYP2C19*2 point-of-care genetic test.
The purpose of the study is to determine the drug characteristics of Ticagrelor, and to determine if 4 weeks treatment will reduce the blood clotting.
This study is conducted to assess the safety of CMX-2043 solution for intravenous (IV) injection, and to evaluate efficacy on the basis of the changes seen in the cardiac biomarkers and continuous electrocardiography (ECG) monitoring. Additionally, correlation of the levels/changes in the biomarkers and the pharmacokinetic evaluations of the drug will be explored.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the extent of the mobilization of endothelial progenitor cells induced by low versus high dose atorvastatin after 4 weeks of treatment, in patients treated with anti-CD 34 antibodies coated stent.
The purpose of this study is to see how Ticagrelor, a new oral reversible anti-platelet medication, affects platelets. Anti-platelet agents are medications that block the formation of blood clots by preventing the clumping of platelets. Blood clots prevent us from bleeding, but when they form inside the arteries their formation is linked to a risk of medical problems such as heart attack and stroke. This study investigated the effect of Ticagrelor on inhibition of platelet aggregation compared with clopidogrel in patients previously identified as non-responsive to clopidogrel.
Chronic inflammatory activation in fat tissue can be the link between adiposity and an increased risk for atherosclerosis. Aim of the study is to investigate how molecular alterations in fat tissue can be influenced by regular physical exercise training alone or in combination with a medical therapy (Glitazon or Metformin) in obese patients with stable CAD and impaired glucose tolerance.
