Active clinical trials for "Coronary Artery Disease"

The aim of this study was to determine the diagnostic accuracy of SURECardio CT-FFR to detect functionally significant coronary stenosis.

The investigators want to assess the use of the residual SYNTAX score and the SYNTAX Revascularization Index as predictors for in-hospital outcomes and mid-term (6 months to 1 year) outcomes in patients with multi-vessel disease (MVD) who undergo PCI in the setting of STEMI or NSTEACS. Both values will be calculated in a number of patients over one year, and the relationship between both values and patient outcomes will be evaluated.

Patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) were enrolled. CAD was diagnosed by coronary angiography which also resulted Syntax score. Images of left and right ears were captured by a digital camera. Frank score of each patients was calculated based on characteristics and numbers of wrinkles of the earlobes. Statistic analysis were carried out to analyze the correlation between Frank Score and Syntax Score.

Modern high-end CT scanners with faster scan acquisition times now allow for routine assessment of cardiac pathologies, which could result in numerous incidental cardiac findings on standard thoracic CT angiography (CTA) scans. The CaPaCT-study aims to assesses the presence, management and possible clinical impact of incidental cardiac pathologies which are becoming visible on standard thoracic CT scans performed on new high-end scanners.

To define and evaluate the impact of angiographic coregistered OCT on physicians decision-making through prospective data collection in PCI procedures.

Cardiac output (CO) is a key variable when describing the cardiovascular system. Electrical cardiometry (EC) is a non-invasive method in measuring stroke volume and cardiac output. However, its accuracy has been inconsistent. Therefore Martin et al. have compared measurements with echocardiographic measurements and propose calibration with left ventricle outflow tract (LVOT)-measurements obtained from transthoracic echocardiography (TTE). This study was performed in pregnant women at term. Goal of this study is to validate their formula in non-pregnant outpatients undergoing echocardiography for cardiology work-up. Secondary aim is to perform a leg raising test and to compare changes in stroke volume observed with either EC or TTE.

In this study, the investigators will determine whether patients with documented atherosclerosis are characterized by specific epigenetic changes in circulating cells of the innate immune system, compared to patients without atherosclerosis.

The purpose of this study is: To examine the association between stable and unstable coronary artery disease (CAD) with markers of DNA damage and repair, To examine the association between plaque morphology as assessed by frequency-domain optical coherence tomography (FD-OCT) and markers of DNA damage and repair in order to identify potential markers of plaque instability, To examine the association between markers of DNA damage and repair and major adverse cardiovascular events defined as death, MI and unplanned percutaneous or surgical revascularization,

The purpose of the study was to evaluate coronary artery flow reserve (CFR) following successful percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) treatment of severely calcified coronary lesions by orbital atherectomy and stenting.

This pilot study aims to identify patients at moderate to high risk for peri-procedural (type 4) myocardial infarction or injury after after undergoing an elective coronary intervention (PCI) as measured by high sensitivity troponin T, who might benefit from more potent antiplatelet therapy.
