Active clinical trials for "Arteriosclerosis"

The purpose of this research is to study whether a multidisciplinary education in Diabetes and intervention for cardiac risk reduction in a group setting to modify patient behavior and adjust medications can achieve diabetes guideline goals for glycemia, blood pressure and lipid control.

The sponsors of this investigational drug are developing prasugrel (also known as CS-747) as a possible treatment for patients with acute coronary syndrome (heart attack or chest pain) who need, or are expected to need, a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI; also called a balloon angioplasty). Prasugrel was compared with Clopidogrel to determine which drug is better at reducing deaths, future heart attacks, or stroke.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether it is safe to receive an injection of your own bone marrow adult stem cells (autologous BM-MNC) to your heart wall during coronary artery bypass graft (CABG).

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of orally given paracetamol on the vascular function and on 24-hour blood pressure in patients with coronary artery disease

To determine whether warfarin or lovastatin alone or in combination retarded the progression of atherosclerotic plaques in the carotid arteries of high risk individuals with asymptomatic carotid stenosis. Also, to determine if a full scale trial was feasible.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of interrupting prolong sedentary behavior with interval exercise on postprandial metabolism following a high fat glucose tolerance test.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of omega 3 on biomarkers of cardiac necrosis(CKMB and troponin I) and inflammation marker CRP.

The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of low-dose aspirin for the primary prevention of vascular events in patients with type 2 diabetes in Japan.

To assess long-term effects of a strict lifestyle change program on lipids, blood pressure, myocardial perfusion, and coronary atherosclerosis.

Endovascular repair of aortic aneurysm and endovascular treatment of arteriosclerosis obliterans of lower extremities are two kinds of common surgeries in the investigators' hospital. The effects of anesthetic agents on postoperative outcome, especially cognitive function, are not clear. In this study investigators propose to measure postoperative cognitive function and other outcome of patients who are undergoing these two kinds of surgeries, and try to identify whether there is an association between different kinds of anesthetics and postoperative outcome. Investigators will also observe whether changes in plasma levels of VEGF, TGF-1, TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6, are associated with postoperative delirium or cognitive change.
