Active clinical trials for "Coronary Artery Disease"

Recommendations for cardiovascular rehabilitation (CVR) encourage exercise training, primarily involving the aerobic system, to allow patients to regain independence in daily activities. However, the lactic anaerobic process is also involved during these activities (stair climbing, carrying loads, etc.). Hence there is a major interest in accurately assessing patients' anaerobic capacities in order to tailor suitable exercise programs. However, there are no functional tests specifically dedicated to the evaluation of lactic anaerobic metabolism and adapted to people with coronary disease. The investigators offer a dedicated test, the short and fast test (SFST), which can be applied in current clinical practice and has already been evaluated in a population of healthy subjects. The purpose of this project is to evaluate the safety, feasibility and validity of SFST in a population of patients with coronary artery disease.

This study will collect initial clinical data on the CSI pVAD system to inform device design and finalization.

The distal transradial approach (dTRA) via the anatomical snuffbox is hypothesized to be more beneficial than the conventional transradial access (cTRA) in patients undergoing coronary procedures. This prospective single-center randomized trial was designed to investigate the safety, efficacy, and various ultrasound parameters of dTRA.

Cardiac rehabilitation is approaches that focus on accelerating the recovery process of patients after a cardiac event, improving their physical, psychological and social conditions, and controlling risk factors. Cardiac rehabilitation is known to be an effective and cost-effective approach in the secondary prevention of cardiovascular diseases, most of which are caused by preventable risks. Ischemic heart diseases, one of the cardiovascular diseases, are responsible for 16% of total deaths in the world and have increased significantly since 2000, causing 8.9 million deaths in 2019. When coronary artery diseases cannot be prevented, the basic approach should be to ensure the individual's compliance with treatment and healthy lifestyle behaviors, and to increase the quality of life and life span. For this reason, the aim of the study is to examine the effects of technology-based education structured according to the health promotion model in cardiac rehabilitation on healthy lifestyle behaviors, health fatalism and risk knowledge level. Question 1. Does technology-based education structured according to the health promotion model affect the healthy lifestyle behaviors score? Question 2. Does technology-based education structured according to the health promotion model affect the health fatalism score? Question 3. Does technology-based education structured according to the health promotion model affect the cardiovascular disease risk factors knowledge level score?

Besides being at least as effective as prasugrel in inhibiting platelet aggregation, ticagrelor has been shown to have additional properties potentially affecting coronary microcirculation. We sought to compare the effects of ticagrelor and prasugrel on absolute coronary blood flow (Q) and microvascular resistance (R) in patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD) undergoing elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The PROMICRO-3 study shows that in patients with stable CAD undergoing PCI pre-treatment with a loading dose of ticagrelor compared with prasugrel improves post-procedural coronary flow and microvascular function and seems to reduce the related myocardial injury.

The goal of this clinical study is to assess the relative bioavailability of Amlodipine for Oral Solution 5 mg of Brillian Pharma Inc. under fasting and fed conditions versus reference product Norvasc 5 mg tablets of Pfizer Labs under fasting in normal, healthy, adult, male, Primary Objective: To compare the relative bioavailability. To assess the food effect in Test product (T1) (Fast) vs Test product (T2) (Fed) Amlodipine Oral Solution 5 mg of Brillian Pharma Inc. Secondary Objective: To monitor the safety and tolerability of a single oral dose of investigational medicinal products (IMPs).

The overall goal of the IQ-MAPLE project is to improve the quality of care provided to patients with several heart, lung and blood conditions by facilitating more accurate and complete problem list documentation. In the first aim, the investigators will design and validate a series of problem inference algorithms, using rule-based techniques on structured data in the electronic health record (EHR) and natural language processing on unstructured data. Both of these techniques will yield candidate problems that the patient is likely to have, and the results will be integrated. In Aim 2, the investigators will design clinical decision support interventions in the EHRs of the four study sites to alert physicians when a candidate problem is detected that is missing from the patient's problem list - the clinician will then be able to accept the alert and add the problem, override the alert, or ignore it entirely. In Aim 3, the investigators will conduct a randomized trial and evaluate the effect of the problem list alert on three endpoints: alert acceptance, problem list addition rate and clinical quality.

The MyoVista device is capable of detecting surface electrocardiogram signals and sensitive in detecting coronary artery disease compared to traditional computed tomography angiography (CTA) Electrophysiological signals at the cellular level of myocardium are related to specific patterns on the MyoVista device Changes in MyoVista device output and can indicative of future CAD outcomes and need for revascularization

Background: The immune system controls how the body responds to infection or injury. Researchers want to see what effect a dietary supplement called nicotinamide riboside (NR) has on the immune system. A study showed that fasting has a good effect on immune cell health in healthy people. And when immune cells were exposed to NR they had a similar positive response as with fasting. Researchers want to see if healthy people have the same effects from NR and fasting, and if those effects last. Objectives: To see if taking nicotinamide riboside will have the same healthy immune system effects as fasting. To see if these good effects continue even after eating again. Eligibility: Healthy volunteers ages 18 - 39 years Design: Participants will be screened with medical history, physical exam, and blood tests. Women will have a urine pregnancy test. Participants will take 4 pills of either NR or a placebo once a day for 1 week. On day 6, they will not eat or drink anything. On day 7, they will have a study visit to give a blood sample before and after eating a meal at the clinic. They will also give a urine sample. Participants will stop taking the pills for 1 2 weeks. Participants will take either NR or a placebo once a day for 1 week. They will repeat day 6 and day 7 of the first week. Participants will get NR once and placebo once, but will not know which they are taking.

Despite several large clinical trials clearly establishing that coronary revascularization (i.e. percutaneous coronary intervention - PCI) does not prolong survival or prevent myocardial infarction (MI) for stable coronary artery disease (CAD), patients with stable angina continue to believe that PCI is performed to improve these outcomes. Additionally, recent concerns have emerged of overuse of PCI among patients with little or no angina. Thus there is a compelling need to share with patients the risks and benefits of PCI prior to treatment to reach an informed decision. This study is designed to answer the question of whether a decision aid can improve patient knowledge, decisional conflict and patient satisfaction with decision-making compared to usual care for the treatment of stable angina.
