Long-tErm Effects of Enhanced eXternal CountErpuLsation
Coronary Artery DiseaseChronic Heart FailureEnhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) is an effective non-invasive treatment in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) which complicated by chronic heart failure (CHF). Aim: to study the long-term effects of treatment with enhanced external counterpulsation on the structural and functional state of the vascular bed in patients with stable CAD complicated by CHF. Patients (n=100) with verified stable CAD (class 2-3 angina) complicated by CHF (NYHA class 2-3) and receiving optimal drug therapy included in open randomized study. Primary randomization (2:1) + secondary randomization (1:1). SHAM-counterpulsation group (ECP-SHAM; compression pressure 80 mm Hg; 35 procedures, 1 hour each); Active counterpulsation group (ECP35; compression pressure 220-280 mm Hg; 35 procedures, 1 hour each) 1 course per year; Active counterpulsation group (ECP70; compression pressure 220-280 mm Hg; 35 procedures, 1 hour each) 2 courses per year. Duration of observation is 3 years. Stages of examination: after 3, 6, 12, 24, 36 months (after 3, 6, 12 months for the ECP-SHAM group). Primary endpoint: combination of vascular event (myocardial infarction, acute cerebrovascular accident, revascularization procedures), hospitalization (for CAD/CHF), death. Secondary endpoints: changes in exercise tolerance, a needing for antianginal therapy, frequency of angina episodes. Objectives: to study the dynamics of the structural and functional state of the vascular bed (applanation tonometry, photoplethysmography, computer nailfold videocapillaroscopy), the dynamics of the clinical status (Clinical Status Assessment Scale), the dynamics of exercise tolerance (6-minute walk test), the dynamics of the quality of life of patients ( questionnaires SF36 and MLHFQ) in the ECP35 and ECP70 groups at baseline, at the end of the first course, after 6 months, 1, 2, and 3 years, and in the ECPSHAM group at baseline, at the end of the first course, after 6 and 12 months; (2) To investigate the impact of EECP on the incidence of primary (vascular events, hospitalizations for CAD/CHF, death) and secondary (frequency of angina episodes, need for antianginal drugs, exercise tolerance) endpoints. Expected outcome of the study: Obtaining reliable data on the long-term positive effect of EECP on the dynamics of the structural and functional state of the vascular bed, exercise tolerance, quality of life and prognosis in patients with stable CAD complicated by CHF.

Personalized Vs. Standard Duration of Dual Antiplatelet Therapy and New-generation Polymer-Free...
Coronary Artery DiseaseAcute Coronary Syndrome2 moreNew-generation metallic drug-eluting stents represent the standard of care among patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Currently, few data are available as regards to the safety and efficacy of the Cre8 amphilimus-eluting stent (Cre8 AES, Alvimedica, Instanbul, Turkey) in comparison with the biodegradable polymer everolimus-eluting stent (Synergy EES, Boston Scientific, Marlborough, MA, USA). Results from randomized trials and meta-analyses consistently indicate that prolonged dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) after PCI reduces ischemic events, but invariably conveys an excess of clinically relevant bleeding, which is proportional to the duration of treatment. It has been estimated, indeed, that for every non-fatal ischemic event avoided with prolonged DAPT, two or more clinically relevant bleeding events have to be expected. Given the trade-off between benefits and risks and the lack of mortality benefit in favor of prolonged DAPT, expert consensus suggests that DAPT duration should be individualized based on ischemic versus bleeding risks. At this regard, the DAPT score has been recently proposed as standardized tool to identify patients who derive benefit or lack from a prolonged course of DAPT. However, a prospective assessment of the DAPT score is lacking and whether a personalized duration of DAPT based on the DAPT score improves the net clinical benefit remains unknown. The objective of the study is to compared the safety and the efficacy of the Cre8 AES with the Synergy EES and a personalized DAPT duration based on the DAPT score with a standard DAPT duration among patients undergoing PCI.

The Improving ATTENDance to Cardiac Rehabilitation Trial
Myocardial InfarctionHeart Failure4 moreThe benefits of cardiac rehabilitation are well known. However, despite center based cardiac rehabilitation (CBCR) representing guideline-based care for patients with cardiovascular disease, most patients do not complete the maximum number of sessions allowed by third party insurance payers. As such, many patients may not be receiving the full clinical benefit ascribed to CR. This study will assess the efficacy of an innovative approach to CR delivery on attendance by combining both center-based and remote- or home-based CR sessions. The intervention group combines center-based CR and remote-/home-based CR and is tailored to the individual needs of each patient, accomplished with the assistance of an easy-to-access telecommunications methodology (telemedicine)
