Active clinical trials for "Angina Pectoris"

This trial will treat patients with a new chemotherapeutic medicine who have undergone a successful and uncomplicated de novo stent placement in up to two native coronary arteries. The purpose of the trial is to determine the appropriate dose of the new medicine for future trials and to evaluate the incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events and serious adverse events.

Data from VA-funded studies and the broader literature indicate that chronic stable angina (CSA) is prevalent, under recognized, under treated and associated with reduced quality of life. There are substantial opportunities for improving care of patients with this debilitating and potentially fatal problem. Because primary care providers manage most patients with CSA, efforts to improve care must necessarily involve the primary care delivery system. C3P is composed of a set of interventions employing a Collaborative Care Team model, which has been shown to be effective in managing other chronic illnesses in the primary care setting.

To study the efficacy of multicomponent treatment and care for patients with acute illness or deterioration of a chronic disease at a nursing home in primary health care compared to traditional treatment at hospital.

Radial approach is widely established in cardiac diagnostic and therapeutic treatments. It has been shown to decrease bleeding, vascular problems, and mortality rates when compared to the femoral approach. It also offers better comfort to patients through early mobility and lowers hospital expenses. Previously, there were no specific devices for radial artery hemostasis. Many different types of dressings were used in various hospitals with no standardization. This raises the question of whether specific devices surpass dressings in terms of patient comfort, time required to maintain hemostasis, and vascular complications. The primary goal of this study was to examine the effectiveness of compression dressings and hemostatic wristbands on patients undergoing cardiac procedures via radial approach in terms of patient comfort, time required to maintain hemostasis, and vascular problems. The hemostatic wristband TR BandR (Terumo Corporation, Tokyo, Japan) was utilized in one group, while compressive elastic dressing, standardized as 13 threads gauze overlapped, opened, longitudinally pleated once and wrapped, making a 5-cm long cylinder, 1-cm in height, was used in the other.

Previous studies have shown that interventions which modestly increase blood nitrite_ improve skeletal muscle function on exercise while sparing oxygen, and have been also shown to open up the blood flow during periods of oxygen deprivation. Inorganic nitrate in the diet is absorbed into the bloodstream, concentrated and reduced by bacteria in the mouth to nitrite, which is then absorbed into the bloodstream. . The purpose of this study is to look at the effects of oral inorganic nitrate supplementation on clinical markers of heart ischaemia and the frequency of angina.

This study will be conducted in accordance with the local regulation of New Drug Application. Overall duration of this trial will be 3 years after approval of MFDS. Each subject will participate around 26 weeks, which include the 24 weeks treatment period and 2 weeks safety follow up period. Withdrawn subjects due to efficacy after 4 weeks treatment will participate in 6 weeks in total including 2 weeks safety follow up. Withdrawn subjects with other reason also have 2 weeks follow up period.

Slow coronary flow is an angiographically diagnosed phenomenon defined as delayed opacification of epicardial arteries in the absence of significant arterial narrowing and blockade. Endothelial dysfunction at the level of microarteries have been proposed as the main pathological mechanism in this regard. Available evidence suggest that standard anti-angina medications (e.g. nitroglycerin) that solely target large coronary trunks might not provide adequate symptomatic relief in patients with slow coronary flow phenomenon. It is hypothesized that anti-angina medications which exert vasodilatory effects in large coronary arteries as well as small dividing branches might be superior to nitroglycerin in amelioration of angina symptoms. The present randomized clinical trial was thus designed and conducted to compare the short-term efficacy of nicorandil (a dual-acting anti-angina medication with effects on both large and small coronary vessels) with nitroglycerin in a group of patients with slow coronary flow presented with frequent angina episodes.

The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of ranolazine on different markers of cardiometabolic disease in women with stable angina.

Low intensity shockwaves have been proven in animal and pilot clinical studies to induce local growth of new blood vessels. Small single-center clinical trials with shockwave therapy showed promising results in reducing angina symptoms, improving perfusion and contractility in patients with refractory angina and stress-induced ischemia on imaging test. The hypothesis of this study is that shockwave therapy could improve angina symptoms and exercise tolerance in broader population of patients with stable angina regardless of imaging test results Study aims to demonstrate anti-anginal efficacy of Extracorporeal Shockwave Myocardial Revascularization Therapy (ESMR), on top of stable optimal medical treatment in patients with stable angina.

The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of Ranolazine for the treatment chest pain from disease of small vessels of the heart also known as 'microvascular angina'.
