Active clinical trials for "Coronary Artery Disease"

This study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel clinical trial in Chinese population with stable angina pectoris. The purpose is to determine the efficacy and safety of Yangxin Shengmai Granules in the treatment of stable angina pectoris.

The aim of study is to examine the relationship between lipid subfractions, inflammation and structural-functional properties of the arterial wall in patients with premature coronary heart disease, to study genetic polymorphisms that determine lipid subfractions concentration on the functional and morphological properties of the arterial vascular wall in patients with early coronary heart disease, to study the effect of alirocumab and evolocumab on lipid subfractions, inflammation and structural-functional properties of arterial wall in patients with early coronary atherosclerosis and to study the influence of NOS-3 gene expression on the functional and morphological properties of the arterial vascular wall in the same patients. Impaired blood fat metabolism and chronic inflammation are intertwined as possible causes of atherosclerosis. Lipoprotein (a) (Lp (a)) is an important risk factor for coronary heart disease and a prognostic predictor in patients after myocardial infarction, but recent research suggests that subtilisin-kexin convertase type 9 (PCSK9) inhibitors are the only drugs that significantly reduce serum Lp (a) concentration. However, there are no data on the relationship between Lp (a) values and polymorphisms for Lp (a), indicators of inflammation and impaired arterial function, and response to treatment with various PCSK9 inhibitors in patients with early coronary heart disease.

A real world registry to compare dual therapy with Dabigatran/Ticagrelor to dual therapie with Dabigatran/Clopidogrel in patients with an indication for NOAC undergoing PCI in the setting of ACS. Hypothesis: Dual therapy with Dabigatran/Ticagrelor will be non-inferior in reducing the risk of bleeding compared to Dual therapy with Dabigatran/Clopidogrel (RE-DUAL PCI trial based) in patients with an indication for NOAC undergoing PCI in the setting of ACS. Thromboembolic events, stent thrombosis and death will be evaluated for estimation of events between both groups. Data will be pooled for this secondary endpoint with data from the upcoming WOEST-3 trial to compare both treatments.

The purposes of this study is to standardize the process of formulating exercise prescriptions for coronary heart disease（CHD）, verify the safety and effectiveness of exercise prescriptions, and establish a database of exercise prescriptions for CHD, with a view to providing new solutions for cardiac rehabilitation.

A randomized, double-blind, placebo trial was adopted, and cardiopulmonary exercise load test (CPET) was used to detect peak oxygen uptake (PeakVO2) and exercise metabolic equivalent (METs) to confirm the clinical effect of Zhenyuan capsule on improving cardiopulmonary endurance in patients with coronary heart disease of qi deficiency and blood stasis.

E5TION will evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of tailored two regimens (prasugrel 5mg/d vs. ticagrelor 60mg bid) in high-risk patients undergoing PCI (CHIP: COmplex and Higher-Risk Indicated PCI/PatieNts).

Patients with ischemic heart disease are often treated with multiple cardiovascular agents, including aspirin, statins, ezetimibe, Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) inhibitors or beta-blockers. Uncertainty about the optimal timing and clinical implications of administration of cardiovascular drugs still persists. The investigators will perform a pilot randomized trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a one daily administration of multiple drugs vs. twice daily administration.

The present study aims to compare a planned angiographic control (PAC) follow-up strategy vs. conservative management for patients treated with drug-eluting stents on unprotected left main artery in a prospective, randomized setting. PAC will be performed by coronary computed tomography (CCT), to avoid the limitations of the invasive coronary angiography which is usually employed to perform PAC. The superiority of a PAC-based approach will be tested on a hard clinical end-point such as the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events. The investigators will also assess the performance of CCT as a tool to perform PAC.

- Aim The AVOID (Air Verses Oxygen In myocardial infarction) trial is designed to determine if the withholding of routine oxygen therapy in patients with acute heart attack leads to reduced heart damage compared to the current practice of routine inhaled oxygen for all patients. - Background There is evidence supporting and refuting the current practice of providing oxygen to all patients with acute heart attack. A recent summary of clinical trials suggested that oxygen may increase the degree of heart damage during heart attack. It also highlighted that the few trials into oxygen therapy were performed before the use of modern medications and procedures to treat heart attack and that further studies were urgently needed, using contemporary practices. - Design A total of 334 patients will participate in this randomized controlled trial. Patients in this study will receive the best current management and care for their condition. Patients will be randomized to routine pre-hospital care with oxygen therapy vs pre-hospital care without oxygen therapy. Patients will then receive standard hospital care, aside from allocated oxygen or no oxygen therapy. The primary outcome measure of heart damage will be investigated using routine blood tests. With additional information gathered from other aspects of routine heart care including coronary angiogram, electrocardiograms and complications of hospital stay. Patients will be followed up at 6 months to determine any longer term effects of treatment.

This prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled study was designed to assess the safety, feasibility and efficacy of intramyocardial injection of autologous bone marrow mononuclear cells in patients with severe, chronic ischemic disease scheduled to coronary artery bypass surgery.
