Active clinical trials for "Coronary Artery Disease"

This research add resistance training to patients who undergo cardiac rehabilitation program after coronary bypass surgery, comparing the level of PCSK9 level on that group to another group who receives conventional rehabilitation program (only aerobic exercise)

The principal aim is to assess impact of alveolar recruitment manoeuvres (ARM) on stroke volume variation, evaluated by trans-oesophageal echocardiography (TEE). These variations will be measured on preload dependency or preload independency status. The principal purpose is to determine if variations of stroke volume during standardized ARM can predict the preload dependency status.

To evaluate image quality of coronary CT angiography (cCTA) after sublingual and transdermal administration of Nitroglycerin. Aim of this prospective research study is to investigate equivalence on image quality after sublingual or transdermal Nitroglycerin administration (H0). Furthermore, the feasibility of transdermal Nitroglycerin administration will be evaluated.

We aim to enroll subjects eligible to cardiac rehabilitation that are defined as low-risk according to national guidelines. We plan to gradually reduce the number of institution based CR and increase the tele monitored exercise sessions performed in the community. Stress test will be preformed before the intervention and after completing 6 month.

In human purified platelets, only thrombin, and not the other platelet agonists, leads to a transient activation of the protein kinase activated by AMP (AMPK) and to phosphorylation of its "bona fide" substrate, ACC on its Ser79. ACC phosphorylation (P-ACC) can be an interesting marker of thrombin action on platelets. Indeed platelet and coagulation interplay, though undoubtedly present in atherosclerosis and atherothrombosis, remains difficult to assess. Our group showed that atherosclerotic mice (SRBI/Apolipoprotein E knock-out) had higher platelet P-ACC compared to corresponding control mice (C57BL6). In agreement with these data, preliminary results showed increased platelet P-ACC in a small cohort of patients admitted for coronary angiogram, with demonstrated coronary artery disease (CAD). In the light of our preliminary results, we sought to analyze platelet P-ACC in a large prospective clinical trial (ACCTHEROMA) in patients admitted for coronary angiogram. The aim of the study is to compare platelet P-ACC in platelets of patients with CAD and more particularly in unstable CAD patients to non-CAD patients. This study could potentially identify patients at high risk of future ischemic cardiovascular events, because of a higher level of thrombin generation.

Laugh is more than visual and vocal behave, is always followed by a series of physiological changes, including contractions of musculoskeletal system, increase of cardiac frequency by catecholamine release and hyperventilation that promoves the increase of maximum breathing and oxygen saturation. Laugh therapy may be an alternative therapy, simple, and improve the quality of life of individuals can influence physiological and biochemical parameters of the human body.

This study evaluates the prognostic value and therapeutic potential of combined pressure and flow measurements when evaluating a coronary artery stenosis. Lesions with intact coronary flow reserve (CFR) despite a reduced fractional flow reserve (FFR) will receive optimal medical therapy. Only lesions with a simultaneous reduction in both CFR and FFR will be treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

This proposal seeks to assess the impact of 24 weeks of metformin on non-calcified plaques and calcified plaques assessed by coronary CT angiography, and on whether these changes can be explained by metformin-induced phenotypic and secretory changes of monocytes.

This is a Phase 3, prospective, open-label, international, multicentre study of Flurpiridaz (18F) Injection for PET MPI in patients referred for ICA because of suspected CAD.

The study aim is to assess polyethylene glycol (PEG) coated collagen patch (Hemopatch) on the quality of drainage after surgery, the length of hospital stay, the number of reoperations due to haemorrhage and treatment cost. The study will be conducted in 200 patients undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) with the use of extracorporeal circulation and Internal mammary Artery (IMA) harvesting. Traditional method of haemostasis will be applied in 100 patients and Hemopatch will be additionally used in 100 subjects to prevent haemorrhage after IMA harvesting and sternum closure.
