Active clinical trials for "Coronary Artery Disease"

Vortex - First in Human study to evaluate the feasibility, safety, clinical and technical success of the Vortex temporary percutaneous, transvalvular circulatory support system (Vortex System)

Introduction: Most cardiovascular diseases (CVD) can be prevented and controlled by adopting lifestyle changes, such as regular physical exercise and nutrition. Resveratrol and beverage extract promote beneficial health effects due to their nutritional properties. Objective: to analyze the effects of resveratrol supplementation and withdrawal extract on post-exercise recovery in coronary heart disease patients. Methods: men diagnosed with ischemic coronary artery disease will undergo four exercise protocols consisting of 30 minutes of aerobic exercise on an ergometric treadmill, with 5 minutes of warm-up, intensity of 30% of the heart rate reserve (HRR), followed by 25 minutes at intensity 60% of FCR and for a final 30 minutes of recovery in the supine position. Before each exercise protocol, all volunteers will consume: 500 mg of placebo (starch), or 500 mg of beetroot, or 500 mg of resveratrol and will also consume resveratrol and drink (500 mg each) 30 minutes before exercise. , the order of each supplementation will be done randomly. Cardiorespiratory parameters and heart rate variability (HRV) will be assessed at different times throughout the experimental procedure. To analyze the moments (rest versus recovery), the Bonferroni post-test will be used for parametric distribution or the Dunn post-test for non-parametric distribution. Statistical significance will be calculated at 5% for all analyses.

The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of a physiotherapy prehabilitation programme (walking and deep breathing exercises) in cardiac or thoracic patients by measuring changes in lung volumes, functional capacity physiotherapy length of stay postoperatively.

Clinical trial with an "European Community marked" medical device in patients with ischemic heart disease and clinical indication of coronary revascularization with drug-eluting stent. Clinical follow-up will be done according to this way: first month telephone or face-to-face interview and at 6 ± 1 month an Angiography follow up + OCT (optical coherence tomography) A randomized clinical trial to compare the efficacy of Angiolite Stent versus a second-generation drug-eluting stent such as Xience stent.(non-inferiority design)

This study is a randomized, open-label, 5-period, 5-treatment, single-dose, single-center, crossover study to estimate the effect of AZD5718 on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of rosuvastatin, and to assess the relative bioavailability of AZD5718 oral suspension vs AZD5718 immediate release (IR) Tablet Formulation and the Food Effect of AZD5718 in Healthy Volunteers. The study will be performed at a single study center.

The purpose of this research study is to improve statin medication adherence among Veterans with coronary artery disease with poor adherence to medications. The investigators are testing if newer technology pill bottle devices linked with individual feedback and/or social incentive strategies can improve medication taking behavior.

The investigators would like to explore possibilities of selective vagus nerve stimulation in human subjects to control heart rate and arterial blood pressure.

The aim of the study is to investigate the effects of CYP3A polymorphisms on the pharmacokinetics of Atorvastatin in Chinese subjects with coronary heart disease.

The present study constitutes a study examining the effect of atorvastatin on vascular function in high cardiovascular risk patients. For this purpose the investigators will record atorvastatin effects on statin-naïve patients (patients that start statins treatment for first time). More specifically the investigators will study atorvastatin effects on: Endothelial function Arterial elastic properties Systemic Inflammatory/thrombotic mechanisms Vascular and myocardial redox state

This pilot study seeks to compare the change in energy expenditure and fitness levels of patients seen in the Children's Hospital Preventive Cardiology program receiving standard of care provider exercise counseling to similar patients receiving Frequency, Intensity, Time, Type (FITT) exercise prescription and counseling combined with BodyMedia supported by an online interactive tool. The investigators primary hypothesis is that this interactive technology coupled with support from a exercise specialist will increase the energy expenditure of the investigators patients over standard of care provider counseling. The investigators Secondary hypotheses include greater improvement in measured physical fitness Peak oxygen consumption (VO2max), oxygen consumption (VO2) at anaerobic threshold (AT) and ventilation/carbon dioxide (VE/VCO2) slope, lipid profiles, blood pressure, arterial stiffness, body mass index (BMI), BMI percentile, and self-efficacy in the intervention group compared to control.
