Active clinical trials for "Coronary Artery Disease"

Late subclinical cardiovascular disease in testicular cancer survivors exposed to cisplatin-based chemotherapy and bone marrow transplant

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare short-term Triple Antithrombotic Therapy (DAPT + Rivaroxaban) followed by DAPT with standard DAPT in selected ACS patients with high ischemic risk. The main questions it aims to answer are: Whether the intervention is effective in reducing ischemic events Whether the intervention is safe from increasing bleeding events, especially severe or fatal ones Participants will be randomized to receive standard DAPT therapy for the entire study duration or low-dose rivaroxaban+DAPT for 3 months, followed by standard DAPT for the rest of the study duration. Patients enrolled should complete 5 follow-ups in the form of clinic visit or telephone call.

The goal of this 2x2 factorial clinical trial is to test the efficacy of i) colchicine, and ii) thiamine in heart failure (HF) secondary to ischemic heart disease. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does colchicine reduce the risk of cardiovascular (CV) death, a HF event, or an ischemic CV event Does thiamine reduce the risk of cardiovascular (CV) death, or a HF event Participants will undergo the following procedures: Run-in: All participants will receive colchicine 0.5 mg daily to assess drug tolerance over a 3-4 week period. Randomization: If colchicine is tolerated during run-in, eligible participants will be randomized in a 2x2 factorial design to receive i) colchicine 0.5mg daily or placebo, and ii) thiamine 300mg daily or no thiamine. Follow-up: Clinical outcomes, side effects, adverse events, and drug adherence will be captured during follow-up

This study aims to investigate whether DCB angioplasty, compared to statin-based medical treatment alone, will lead to more reduction in plaque lipid burden as assessed by near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) at 6-9 months following the index procedure.

In people living with coronary heart disease (CHD), V̇O2 peak predicts all-cause mortality. V̇O2 peak increases with regular exercise training. Thus, in exercise-based cardiovascular rehabilitation programmes, V̇O2 peak is a useful marker of how effective the exercise training has been. Maximal cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) is the gold standard method of measuring V̇O2 peak. However, maximal CPET is expensive and requires trained staff to conduct the test and interpret the results. Furthermore, CPET is not routinely available in United Kingdom (UK) cardiovascular rehabilitation programmes. Field exercise tests, such as incremental cycle ergometer tests, are used in conjunction with predictive equations to estimate V̇O2 peak. However, this group has shown that estimating changes in V̇O2 peak in this way is inaccurate. Alternative solutions are required. VentriJect Seismofit® uses a technique called seismocardiography (SCG); the measurement of vibrations in the chest wall, caused by each heartbeat, using accelerometers. SCG can be used to estimate V̇O2 peak from a SCG measurement taken at rest. This study will explore the validity of VentriJect Seismofit for estimating V̇O2 peak in people with CHD.

The study is to compare the effects of SGLT-2 inhibitors and other oral hypoglycemic agents in patients with coronary heart disease and diabetes mellitus undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention.

To estimate the characteristics, pathogenesis, risk factors and intervention measures for different stages of heart and kidney diseases, and to optimize the curative effects of different treatment schemes

SPIRIT XLV PAS is a prospective, single arm, multi-center, US and OUS post-approval observational study to evaluate the continued safety and effectiveness of the XIENCE Skypoint Large Vessel Everolimus Eluting Coronary Stent System (EECSS) Large Vessel (LV) sizes (diameter 4.5 mm and 5.0 mm) during commercial use in a real-world setting.

MulticenterFlow is a prospective, multi-center, registry study. The aim of the study is twofold: To evaluate prognostic implications of coronary microvascular disease (CMD) in patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD) undergoing revascularization decision using fractional flow reserve (FFR) or other non-hyperemic pressure ratios in deferred population To evaluate the efficacy of intravascular imaging-guided optimization to enhance post-revascularization coronary circulatory function, compared with angiography-only guided revascularization in revascularized population.

Coronary artery narrowings interfere with blood flow to the heart which can cause chest pain and heart attacks. Cardiologists can treat these narrowings with balloons and stents. However, some narrowings can become very calcified and hard making treatment with balloons and stents difficult. Rotational atherectomy is a tool to treat calcific coronary disease. It uses an ablative drill to break down the hardened plaques inside the coronary arteries facilitating subsequent treatment with balloons and stents. However, during this procedure patients can experience a slow heart rate which may compromise procedural safety. Cardiologists may use a temporary pacemaker that is inserted by separately accessing the heart through a large vein usually from the leg. This maintains a safe heart rate throughout the procedure. However, inserting the temporary pacemaker is associated with additional complications. We have developed and propose an alternative strategy to provide a temporary safety pacemaker during rotational atherectomy without the need for inserting an additional pacemaker.
