Active clinical trials for "Coronary Artery Disease"

Atherosclerosis is a progressive disease of the arterial wall, arising from the combination of endothelial dysfunction and inflammation. This link is exacerbated in diabetic patients. Uric acid is known to generate oxidative stress and it's elevated levels has been shown to be associated with cardiac hypertrophy, inflammation, myocardial fibrosis and diastolic dysfunction. Allopurinol inhibits xanthine oxidase, an enzyme that regulates uric acid production. In observational studies it has been shown to reduce ischemia, inflammation and improve coronary flow. The aim of this study is to see whether treatment with Allopurinol in patients diagnosed with multivessel disease and undergoing treatment with either percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) , will reduce markers of inflammation and improve quality of life and major adverse cardiovascular effects (MACE).

With effective anti-retroviral therapy, non-communicable diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases, have become the major cause of morbidity and mortality for people living with HIV. There is only limited data evaluating the burden and risk factors of cardiovascular disease in the Asian HIV-infected population. Accurate non-invasive tools for prediction of cardiovascular disease, particularly in Asian HIV-infected populations, are urgently needed. Recently, more detailed evaluation of the complex retinal vasculature has been made feasible with advances in digitalized retinal imaging techniques. This study aims 1. to determine the prevalence of coronary atherosclerosis and obstructive coronary artery disease HIV-infected individuals with one or more cardiovascular disease risk factors in Asia. 2. to determine the performance of automatic retinal image analysis (ARIA) in predicting the risk of coronary artery disease in HIV-infected individuals, as compared to traditional risk prediction tools. Patients will undergo a coronary CT angiogram, followed by an automatic retinal image analysis within 4 weeks post completion of CT angiogram.

To collect data on the routine patterns of use, safety and effectiveness, including the clinical and technical performance of the CorPath GRX System, in the delivery and manipulation of coronary guidewires and stent/balloon catheters, and manipulation of guide catheters during PCI procedures in the first 231 patients treated with the CorPath device in Japan.

ORBID-OA is a single-center, observational study in 30 patients with stable coronary artery disease. The aim of the study is to analyze the outcomes of main vessel stenting on side branch in calcified bifurcation lesion and identify preprocedural predictors of side branch complication by utilizing two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) frequency domain optical coherence tomography (FD-OCT).

The purpose of this study is to observe and evaluate the performance of a Sirolimus-eluting Drug Coated Balloon for the treatment of any type of coronary lesions, including native vessel disease and in stent restenosis.

Patients undergoing Open Cardiac Surgery will be randomized into two groups. Group I will be ventilated with 40% Fio2 during induction, surgery and in Postoperative care unit. Group II will be ventilated with 100% Fio2 during induction and with 60-70% ( determined according to the arterial blood gas sample results) during surgery and in Postoperative care unit. Hemodynamic parameters ( systolic arterial pressure, diastolic arterial pressure, heart rate ), Arterial blood gas samples ( PaO2, PaCO2, pH, Oxygen saturation, Lactate), and pre and post cardiopulmonary bypass Superoxide dismutase and malonyl aldehyde levels.

It is widely accepted that coronary artery disease (CAD) is related to a high mortality. It is predicted that an increase of approximately 21.3 million cardiovascular events and 7.7 million cardiovascular deaths over 2010 to 2030 in China.1 Male sex, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, obesity and smoking are all traditionally considered as risk factors for CAD. In recent decades, tremendous progress toward the prevention and treatment of traditional cardiovascular risk factors have helped decrease the morbidity and mortality from CAD, but the condition remains a major public health challenge worldwide. Looking into the other potential risk factors (OSA) for CAD, it may help to develop additional preventative strategies and further reduce the incidence and mortality of CAD.

Coronary heart disease has a high incidence and high death rate. Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is an important method for the treatment of coronary heart disease (CHD). However, PCI may cause myocardial cell injury and myocardial infarction 4 Type(MI4a, Type 4 a myocardial infarction related to PCI). Dexmedetomidine(Dex) is the only anesthetic which has sedative and analgesic effects. Dex currently has been widely used in perioperative management of various surgical.This study intends to verify the effect of heart protection of Dex in perioperative.

This is a prospective, observational, multi-center, single-arm, clinical trial designed to assess the efficacy of FFRangio in measuring FFR obtained from angiography compared to Invasive FFR for diagnosing hemodynamically significant coronary stenosis.

The need to restore water losses resulting from physical activity has become established and diffused into international consensus for healthy individuals or high-performance athletes. However, the influence of fluid replacement when administered during and after exercise on cardiorespiratory parameters, cardiac autonomic modulation, and subjective perceptions of effort and pain of individuals with autonomic alterations known as the coronary arteries remain poorly understood. In this sense, this study intends to investigate the influence of hydration on cardiac autonomic modulation, cardiorespiratory parameters, subjective perception of exertion and pain of coronary arteries submitted to aerobic exercise in the model of a cardiovascular rehabilitation session. A total of 31 individuals will be recruited in this study and will perform four standardized cardiovascular rehabilitation sessions. Only in the second and the fourth session will the volunteers be instructed to ingest a quantity of water predetermined by the evaluator, based on the loss of body mass measured in the first and the third sessions. The outcomes (autonomic modulation, cardiorespiratory variables and perceptions) will be evaluated before, during and after exercise. The results of this study will enable professionals working with this population to implement awareness strategies on the importance of fluid intake in cardiovascular rehabilitation programs.
