Active clinical trials for "Coronary Artery Disease"

This study aims to assess the potential for ischaemic peri-conditioning (IP) in elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) patients to attenuate ischaemia in an animal model of myocardial infarct.

This is a Congressionally mandated study. In the original study, 16 demonstration programs provided care coordination services to beneficiaries with chronic illness in Medicare's fee-for-service program. A five-year CMS-funded study tested whether the programs can improve patients' use of medical services, improve patients' outcomes and satisfaction with care, and reduce Medicare costs. The study also assessed physicians' satisfaction with the programs. In 2008 Congress extended the project for two of the original programs--Mercy Medical Center - North Iowa and Health Quality Partners in Pennsylvania--and they will enroll Medicare beneficiaries and provide care coordination services into the spring of 2010.

The purpose of this study is to test whether sodium nitrite affects the expression of cellular proteins important for metabolic and vascular function in vascular offcuts and cardiac biopsies taken from patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery.

forty patients with age ranged between 40-70 years undergoing elective coronary artery bypass graft surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass will be included, they will divided into two groups. Ozone Group: in which Ozone will be added to cold blood cardioplegia. Control Group: in which in which only cold blood cardioplegia Primary outcome: Pattern of recovery of myocardium after declamping of Aorta Time of cardiac rhythm return after declamping. type of cardiac rhythm after declamping and rate of DC use. Secondary outcome: A-cardiac parameters Post operative inotropic score Incidence of post operative cardiac dysrhythmias postoperative ejection fraction (EF) Postoperative parameters of myocardial ischaemia a- Troponin levels b-Pro BNP • Histopathology of myocardial sample for detection of myocyte cellular edema as a marker of ischemic changes. B-non cardiac parameters: inflammatory markers 1. CRP 2. L\N 3. P\N ICU stay hospital stay morbidity and mortality

The investigators will conduct a feasibility study of an enhanced transitional care intervention, that will: 1) automate identification and risk-stratification of patients with CHF and IHD with social vulnerabilities; 2) incorporate a new standardized social vulnerabilities screening tool into clinical care; 3) enable electronic referrals to community resources; and 4) add novel community-based interventions to the existing medically-oriented transitional care intervention that is the standard of care at the study hospital (Parkland Hospital in Dallas, Texas) and other hospitals nationwide.

Intranasal insulin is reported to improves memory performance in patients suffering from cognitive impairment. The investigators have previously shown that intraoperative insulin administration preserves both short and long-term memory function after cardiac surgery. Applying intranasal insulin bypasses blood-brain barrier and cause elevation of insulin concentrations in the cerebrospinal fluid without major effects on peripheral insulin level. Patients undergoing major surgery are exposed to carbohydrate and insulin metabolism alteration. The goal of the study is to study the effect of intranasal insulin on blood glucose, plasma and cerebrospinal insulin concentration in patients undergoing cardiac surgery or endovascular thoracic aneurysm repair.

Management of known patients with cardiovascular disease (in particular the whole spectrum of atherosclerotic ischaemic coronary artery disease, essential hypertension under treatment, and also patients with chronic heart failure under medication) and with other associated chronic pathologies, with obvious effects on the management of the pandemic with modern / distance means (e-Health) of patients at high risk of mortality in contact with coronavirus. Given the Covid-19 Pandemic, all the above complex cardiovascular patients are under the obligation to stay in the house isolated and can no longer come to standard clinical and paraclinical monitoring and control visits. Therefore, a remote management solution (tele-medicine) of these patients must be found. The Investigators endeavour is to create an electronic platform to communicate with these patients and offer solutions for their cardiovascular health issues (including psychological and religious problems due to isolation). The Investigators intend to create this platform for communicating with a patient and stratify their complaints in risk levels. A given specialist will sort and classify their needs on a scale, based on specific algorithms (derived from the clinical European Cardiovascular Guidelines), and generate specific protocols varying from 911 like emergencies to cardiological advices or psychological sessions. These could include medication changing of doses, dietary advices or exercise restrictions. Moreover, in those patients suspected of COVID infection, special assistance should be provided per protocol.

The present study is trying to find out whether artificial intelligence assisted follow-up strategy will improve secondary prevention in CABG patients. In addition, we will test whether rural patients may have more benefits under the new follow-up strategy based on the artificial intelligence device compared with urban patients.

This study was planned to determine the effect of hand reflexology on anxiety and vital signs in patients undergoing coronary angiography. In the G-power analysis conducted to determine the sample of the study, experiment and control were calculated as 60 in total, with the sample number of both groups being 30. Since the study is a single-blind randomized clinical trial, in order to determine the randomization , a box with the names of the patients determined according to the participation criteria will be determined by the selection of the healthcare personnel responsible for the service, and the experimental and control groups. "Demographic Data Form" , "Distress Thermometer". "State Anxiety Inventory" , "Vital Signs Form" and Visual Analog Scale will be used to collect research data.

The purpose of the study is to adopt the Trans-theoretical Model to facilitate step-by-step changes in a patient's smoking behavior and explore the effect of "Cognitive-Behavioral Education Course" and "Exercise Program" on Smoking cessation, physical health, and mental health of smokers with CAD.
