Effect of Combined Lipid-lowering Therapy on Atherosclerotic Plaque Vulnerability in Patients With...
DyslipidemiasThe study is prospective, open-label, randomized, single-center study involving patients admitted on an emergency basis with an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) clinic who underwent PCI of an infarct-related artery (IRA) and had intermediate coronary artery lesions (50-70% stenosis diameter) and elevated LDL-C ( > 1.4 mmol/l) despite statin therapy at the highest dosage. Patients who showed high compliance and did not reach the target LDL-C values 1 month after the development of ACS on the 2nd visit will be randomized into two groups of 60 patients each. Group 1 - taking PCSK9 inhibitors (Alirocumab 150 mg by subcutaneous injection once every 2 weeks or Evolocumab 140 mg by subcutaneous injection once every 2 weeks - open-label prescription of drugs) while taking Atorvastatin at a dose of 80 mg / day. Group 2 - receiving Ezetimibe at a dose of 10 mg in combination with Atorvastatin 80 mg / day.
MK-5475-013 INSIGNIA-PH-COPD: A Study of the Efficacy and Safety of MK-5475 (an Inhaled sGC Stimulator)...
Pulmonary HypertensionChronic Obstructive Pulmonary DiseaseThe purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of once daily oral inhalation dose of MK-5475 380 µg in participants 40 to 80 years (inclusive) with Pulmonary Hypertension associated with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (PH-COPD). The primary hypothesis of the study is MK-5475, a soluble Guanylate Cyclase (sGC) stimulator is superior to placebo in increasing 6 Minute Walking Distance (6MWD) from baseline at Week 24.
High-intensity Intervals Versus Low-to-moderate-intensity Exercise Training in Patients With PAD...
Peripheral Arterial DiseaseSupervised exercise training (SET) is considered among first-line therapies for patients with symptomatic lower extremity peripheral artery disease (PAD), combined with general cardiovascular risk management, lifestyle adaptation and pharmacological treatment. Although without clear consistency, the guidelines give recommendations in terms of claudication pain severity, SET volume, duration, and frequency. However, no or little guidance is offered as far as training intensity is concerned. Most of the previous studies on SET, in the context of PAD, did not distinguish between symptom intensity and common training intensity measures such as % of maximal heart rate (%HRmax), % of HR reserve (%HRR), % of peak oxygen uptake (%VO2peak), % of VO2 reserve (%VO2R), or the rate of perceived exertion (RPE). In a recent meta-analysis, we demonstrated that both training modality and exercise intensity (based on %peak heart rate, %peak oxygen uptake, or the rate of perceived exertion) should be considered when looking for the best results in patients with symptomatic PAD. These results call for study of the individual roles of each exercise intensity and modality on walking performance and cardiorespiratory fitness in patients with symptomatic PAD. High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is composed of brief bursts of vigorous intensity interspersed with periods of rest or low-intensity exercise. HIIT may be better than moderate-intensity training (MIT) in improving cardiorespiratory fitness and functional capacity in patients with cardiovascular and metabolic diseases, but in patients with symptomatic PAD, the effects of such modalities on walking ability and cardiorespiratory fitness remain to be clearly determined. The primary objective of this study is to compare the effects of 12-week-long exercise training (short-duration high-intensity intervals vs. low-to-moderate intensity) on treadmill performance in patients with symptomatic PAD. It is hypothesized that treadmill performance would be improved to a greater extent after high-intensity exercise training
Efficacy of Adipose Tissue Derived Stem Cells for the Treatment of Diabetic Foot Ulcers
Diabetic Foot UlcerDiabetes Mellitus9 moreThe aim of this study is to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of uncultured adipose derived stromal vascular fraction (SVF) and cultured adipose derived stem cells (ASCs) both supplemented with platelet rich plasma (PRP) to treat chronic diabetic foot ulcers. It will increase the pragmatic potential of both types of cells as PRP is rich in survival and chemotactic factors. Moreover, the autologous nature of the proposed study will ensure safety of its use in diabetic patients and will unveil the more effective therapeutic option for treatment of foot ulcer wounds.

Effect of Prolonged Use of Dronedarone on Recurrence in Patients With Non-paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation...
Atrial FibrillationRecurrence rate remains high after radiofrequency ablation in patients with non-paroxysmal atrial fibrillation(AF). Prolonged use of anti-arrhythmic drugs (AAD) beyond the post-ablation blanking has been adopted as a solution but without sufficient clinical evidence. Dronedarone is an AAD valid to maintain sinus rhythm and has fewer side effect than other AAD for long-term use.We sought to investigate the effect of prolonged use of dronedarone on recurrence of non-paroxysmal AF patients beyond the post-blanking period within the first year after ablation.
