Active clinical trials for "Coronary Artery Disease"

The CRONOS-ADM (Coronary CT angiography evaluation for clinical outcomes in asymptomatic patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus) registry is a large, prospective observational registry of demographic, clinical and laboratory data with long-term clinical outcome of asymptomatic diabetic patients without history of CAD or angina or angina-equivalent symptoms at two affiliated hospitals of The Catholic University of Korea.

The purpose of this study is to determine the prognostic impact of the presence of chronic total occlusions (CTO) of the coronary arteries in patients undergoing coronary angiography and PCI.

Visceral obesity is the one of the major causes of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in industrialized countries. Adipose tissue secretes various kinds of bioactive molecules termed adipokines which contribute to the development of obesity-related disorders including cardiovascular disease (CVD). Progranulin and CTRP3 are recently discovered novel adipokines. Therefore, the investigators tried to compare circulating CTRP-3 and progranulin levels in patients with CAD and investigated whether CTRP-3 or progranulin is significantly associated with CAD prevalence after adjustment for well-known CAD risk factors.

BFPET will be evaluated as a diagnostic PET agent for assessing myocardial perfusion in subjects with known or suspected coronary artery disease (CAD) as compared to standard nuclear myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI). The safety of BFPET will be evaluated in known or suspected CAD subjects.

The purpose of this study is to find out if androgen deficiency (low levels of testosterone, a male hormone produced by the sex glands) and erectile dysfunction (sexual dysfunction) will predict over time the development of a heart attack, stroke, or death in men with Diabetes Mellitus who have angiographically proven coronary artery disease (CAD) (≥50%) with or without percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). A substudy aims to show the different factors and processes that may show a relationship between sexual function and levels of androgen in the body to heart disease.

This is a prospective, observational, single-arm, open-label, multicenter, postapproval registry study in China. The purpose of this study is to: Evaluate the continued safety and effectiveness of the XIENCE V EECSS in a cohort of real-world patients receiving the XIENCE V EECSS during commercial use Evaluate patient compliance to dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT)

To evaluate the role of VerifyNow test as prognostic marker in routine clinical practice using drug-eluting stents. To determine the add-on-effect of VerifyNow test beyond on conventional risk factors (clinical, lesions, or procedural factors). To compare the prognostic utility of VerifyNow test with several biomarkers.

This is a prospective, controlled observational trial of patients undergoing clinically indicated cardiothoracic computed tomography (CT), including pulmonary or aortic angiography and coronary CT angiography (CCTA).

To determine whether postprandial lipoproteins were associated with atherosclerosis, and if so, whether the association was statistically independent of that between fasting lipoproteins and atherosclerosis.

To provide a comprehensive description of smoking beliefs and behavior among rural Blacks, and to test the effectiveness of smoking cessation strategies delivered through Black churches.
