Active clinical trials for "Angina, Stable"

The purpose of this study is to determine whether a single intracoronary infusion of Ad5FGF-4, delivered during induced transient ischemia, is effective in improving myocardial perfusion, angina functional class, patient symptoms, and quality of life. Short-term (8 weeks) and long-term (12 month) safety of Ad5FGF-4 will also be evaluated. The primary endpoint is change in adenosine triphosphate (ATP) stress SPECT reperfusion defect size.

Primary Objective: To assess the effects of SAR407899 on coronary vasomotor function using the coronary flow reserve (CFR) in participants with microvascular angina (MVA) and/or persistent stable angina despite angiographically successful percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Secondary Objectives: To assess the effects of SAR407899 on quality of life using Seattle Angina Questionnaire physical limitation scale (SAQ-PL) in participants with MVA and/or persistent stable angina despite angiographically successful PCI. To assess the safety of SAR407899 in participants with MVA and/or persistent stable angina despite angiographically successful PCI with a focus on identified risks such as hypotension and orthostatic hypotension. To assess SAR407899 plasma concentrations in MVA participants and/or persistent stable angina despite angiographically successful PCI.

This RCT aims to determine if it is possible to perform acupuncture on men and women diagnosed with stable angina who have symptoms, chest pain, and/or chest discomfort. The investigators want to determine if acupuncture reduces the pain and other symptoms of angina, chest pain, and chest discomfort. The investigators also want to examine whether this study is acceptable to the participants, and by carrying out this study the investigators will be able to tell how many participants they will need in a future larger study to further test acupuncture to reduce the symptoms of angina in women.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of febuxostat on coronary plaque volume in patients with chronic stable angina and hyperuricemia.

We wish to see if the drug rosiglitazone, currently used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes, could be used as a new treatment for angina when compared with placebo in overweight subjects who do not have overt diabetes. The drug will be given for 3 months and the subjects will be have their angina tested, by way of exercise testing, angina quality of life questionnaire and 24-hour ECG monitoring before and after using the drug.

Phase one of this study is a prospective, randomized (2:1), pilot study that will evaluate COBRA PzF vascular healing patterns and thrombus formation with Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) at 3 months after stent implantation in comparison with Resolute Integrity drug eluting stent (DES). Patients in the COBRA PzF (Group 1) will receive dual anti platelets for one week followed by aspirin, while patients implanted with ZES (Group 2), will receive Dual anti-platelet therapy (DAPT) for at least 6 months followed by aspirin. After the completion of Phase 1, Phase 2 will enroll 10 patients in the COBRA PzF (Group 3). Patients in Group 3 will receive aspirin alone and have OCT at one month after the stent procedure to evaluate COBRA PzF vascular healing patterns and thrombus formation at one month follow up.

This is a multicentric randomized comparison between paclitaxel-coated balloon angioplasty or paclitaxel-eluting stent implantation in patients with stable or unstable angina with the evaluation of restenosis by Quantitative Coronary Analysis.

The purpose of this study is to test the hypothesis that application of topical capsaicin in patients with stable angina will result in improved exercise tolerance and reduced cardiac ischemia.

Allopurinol is a drug commonly used to treat gout. However recent studies have shown it has the potential to help improve oxygen supply to heart muscle. In this study the Investigators aim to find out if allopurinol slows down the onset of angina symptoms, as seen by a doctor on a tracing of the heart (ECG- electrocardiogram), for patients who have been diagnosed with heart disease, when exercising on a treadmill. The Investigators are also are trying to figure out the best dose of allopurinol to use and to see how quickly it begins working. To do this the investigators will recruit patients with angina, exercise them on a treadmill after giving different doses of allopurinol and see if there is an improvement in their time to bring on angina symptoms and signs. Patients recruited to this trial will receive three different treatment regimes over a six week period. Each treatment regime will last for one week with a one week rest period between each regime. This will involve up to eleven visits to Ninewells Medical School, Dundee for testing.

Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is strongly recommended for patients with coronary heart disease. However, patient enrollment and completion of cardiac rehabilitation is low. This study will examine if a mobile phone intervention that uses a text messaging program can successfully promote participation in cardiac rehabilitation.
