Active clinical trials for "Coronary Artery Disease"

The purpose of this study is to see whether apadenoson is as effective as adenosine when used as a pharmacological stress agent in myocardial SPECT-imaging (SPECT-MPI)to detect defects in the supply of blood to the heart muscle (myocardial perfusion defects). The study will also look at whether apadenoson is better tolerated than adenosine when used in SPECT-MPI.

The present pilot study aims to investigate the effectiveness of the preoperative infusion of levosimendan in patients with impaired left ventricular function undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting.

The investigators assume that ranibizumab might be dangerous in patients with history of coronary artery disease or cerebrovascular events. The main objective of study is to reveal contraindications for ranibizumab prescription in patients with history of coronary artery disease and cerebrovascular events. Moreover, an association between management with ranibizumab and ATE rate in healthy above 50 years old persons is a concern of great interest as well.

A prospective, multi-center, single-arm study to establish the safety and effectiveness of the XIENCE V® Everolimus Eluting Coronary Stent, XIENCE nano™ Everolimus Eluting Coronary Stent, XIENCE PRIME™ LL Everolimus Eluting Coronary Stent, HT PROGRESS and HT PILOT Coronary Guide Wires, and MINI-TREK Coronary Dilatation Catheter in patients undergoing elective percutaneous revascularization of native chronic total coronary occlusions

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the OMEGA Coronary Stent System for the treatment of subjects with a de novo atherosclerotic coronary artery lesion.

GLP-1 has not only beneficial effects on glucose metabolism but also direct positive effects on cardiac function and metabolism in both experimental models and in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Clinical data on the effects of GLP-1 agonists on cardiac function and glucose control in patients undergoing cardiac surgery are not known. Based on the results of experimental studies there is a potential for exenatide to positively influence both cardiac function and glucose metabolism in cardiac surgery patients with and without type 2 diabetes mellitus. The primary endpoint of this study is to examine whether pre- and peri-operative administration of exenatide affects perioperative hemodynamics, echocardiographic parameters, necessity of antiarrhythmic and inotropic treatment and glucose control in patients with coronary atherosclerosis and decreased left ventricular function undergoing elective coronary artery bypass grafting operation (CABG). In addition, safety and tolerability of peri-operative administration of exenatide in these patients will be examined as a secondary study objective.

This study is designed as a prospective, randomized, multi-center trial to demonstrate an inequality between IVUS-guided versus angiography-guided implantation of everolimus-eluting stents(EES) at long lesions(> 28 mm) in clinical outcomes at 12 months as a primary objective and safety of 6- month dual antiplatelet therapy following EES implantation in comparison with a 12-month dual antiplatelet therapy.

This randomized, open label, controlled, parallel group study is designed to test whether 2-day high dose atorvastatin administration before PCI and 30-day continuous intensive atorvastatin treatment is superior to usual care, in terms of peri-PCI cardiovascular events, as well as 6-month prognosis. The goal is to set up an optimized protocol for peri-PCI statin treatment in Chinese CHD patients. Safety will also be observed.

This is a randomized double blind 2x2 factorial controlled trial to evaluate efficacy tolerability of low strength Polycap versus two doses of low strength Polycap in patients with stable cardiovascular disease in reducing blood pressure and LDL. To evaluate the tolerability and safety of low dose potassium supplementation compared to placebo in patients with stable cardiovascular disease. Approximately 500 patients are planned to be randomized.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the AVJ-09-385 Small Vessel Everolimus Eluting Coronary Stent System (EECSS) (2.25 mm diameter stent) in treatment of subjects with ischemic heart disease caused by de novo lesions.
