Active clinical trials for "Angina, Stable"

The electrocardiogram (ECG) is a simple and non-invasive bedside diagnostic tool with a well-established role in the diagnosis of (CAD). Many studies have found that the admission of ECG provides important prognostic information in patients admitted with chest pain. For instance, T wave inversion in anterior or inferior location and or ST-segment depression has been associated with high incidence of CAD.

The association between alcohol consumption and cardiovascular disease (CVD) has mostly been examined using broad endpoints or cause-specific mortality. The purpose of our study is to compare the effect of alcohol consumption in the aetiology of a range of cardiovascular disease phenotypes.

This study is designed to detect the microcirculatory characteristics of meridian phenomena by using an objective assessment tool and investigate the site specificity for the meridian-visceral association and surface-surface association between two specific meridians.

Coronary artery disease (including stable angina and acute coronary disease) remains the leading mortality and morbidity worldwide. Improvement in biomarker, imaging research have led to new predictors for the prognosis, which may have great clinical value in the current era of personalized medicine. However, there is no available biomarker-based prediction rule for risk assessment of adverse events in patients with stable angina and acute coronary disease. Therefore, we aim to develop and validate a new biomarker-based risk model to improve the prognostication of adverse events (e.g. ischemic and bleeding events ) in the patient population.

Current guidelines for the clinical management of hypertension in adults recommend to achieve and maintain blood pressure levels of <140/90 mmHg. However, it is uncertain what proportion of individuals identified with high blood pressure in primary care actually reach blood pressure control, what factors are associated with attainment of control and to what extent blood pressure control attainment is associated with cardiovascular diseases in a contemporary population of individuals diagnosed with high blood pressure. The aim of this study is to investigate the extent to which patients achieve blood pressure control and associated risk factors, time to attainment of blood pressure control and whether this time is associated with an increased risk of CVD onset, all-cause and cardiovascular disease and end-stage renal disease.

This study includes patients with stable coronary artery disease without previously known myocardial infarction, and investigates the prevalence of clinically unrecognized myocardial damage and its prognostic implication.

Platelets play a major role in thrombus formation and platelet size, measured by Mean Platelet Volume (MPV) correlates with platelet activity. MPV is increased in patients with Myocardial Infarction (MI) and is an independent predictor of adverse events in patients with ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) . Data on MPV in patients with stable angina is limited. Aspirin and clopidogrel are antiplatelet agents administered routinely to patients undergoing PCI and are required for stent patency. MPV is not known to be affected by low dose Aspirin. Treatment with clopidogrel is thought to reduce MPV in-vitro but the magnitude of this reduction in MPV is unclear, especially in patients with stable angina undergoing PCI. An inverse correlation also exists between MPV and platelet count . The investigators aim to assess if a change occurs in MPV (∆ MPV) after routine clopidogrel administration in patients with stable angina undergoing PCI.

The role of lipids as risk factors for cardiovascular events is well-documented, although events studied have largely been broad classes without specific detail. This study will examine a more refined set of endpoints.

This study, designed as a retrospective registry, aims to investigate the relationship and potential interplay between fractional flow reserve (FFR) or instantaneous waves free ratio (iFR) with wall shear stress (WSS) in the context of intermediate coronary stenosis.

The purpose of this study is to Evaluate the Safety of DILATREND SR Cap. in Korean Patients with Essential hypertension, Chronic stable angina and Congestive heart failure for 52 weeks.
