Colchicine in Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

Coronary Artery DiseaseAcute Coronary Syndrome

Inflammation in the arteries of the heart may increase the risk of cardiac death. The proposed research seeks to identify the potential beneficial role of a safe anti-inflammatory medication, colchicine, on reducing damage caused by opening up a blockage in the arteries of the heart. With its quick onset of action and excellent safety profile, colchicine may have the potential to reduce risk of major adverse events related to the heart. This research also seeks to better understand the role of neutrophils, the most common type of inflammatory white blood cell in the body, when there is damage to the heart.

An Intervention to Reduce Delirium After Cardiac Surgery

DeliriumCongenital Heart Disease2 more

Patients that have cardiac surgery may suffer from unrecognized cerebral ischemia or loss of blood flow to the brain temporarily during surgery. This temporary loss of blood flow to the brain may result in a condition called delirium. Delirium is a type temporary confusion. There are some strategies that can help reduce cerebral ischemia during cardiac surgery which can help lead to a reduction in the incidence of delirium. The investigator believes that a strategy called remote ischemic preconditioning will help to reduce the incidence of delirium incidence after cardiac surgery. Remote ischemic preconditioning is a brief exposure to ischemia. This brief exposure to ischemia occurs in an area of the body that is not undergoing a procedure. This brief exposure to ischemia is not long enough to cause any damage to the body and it has been demonstrated to help protect against more severe ischemic injury that may occur later during surgery. In this study the investigator will use remote ischemic preconditioning to see if it can reduce the incidence delirium after cardiac surgery.

Prasugrel Versus Ticagrelor in Patients With CYP2C19 Loss-of-function: a Validation Study

Coronary Artery Disease

Polymorphisms of the cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C19 enzyme has been consistently shown to modulate clopidogrel response. Accordingly, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a warning on the potential for reduced efficacy of clopidogrel among carriers of loss-of-function alleles (LOF) for CYP2C19 and suggest considering alternative antiplatelet therapies for these individuals. The pharmacodynamic (PD) effects of prasugrel and ticagrelor are not affected by CYP2C19 genetic polymorphisms. However, to date there are no head-to-head PD comparisons between these agents among patients with different CYP2C19 genetic polymorphisms, which is currently under investigation in CAD patients undergoing PCI at UF Health-Jacksonville (UFJ 2014-12, NCT 02065479). In order to rule out play of chance findings, pharmacogenetic investigations require external validation cohorts to support the study findings. Therefore, the present randomized study is designed to serve as an external validation cohort conducted in patients with established CAD not undergoing PCI testing the non-inferiority in platelet reactivity of prasugrel versus ticagrelor among CYP2C19 LOF allele carriers.

The Effects of Muscle Training in Coronary Artery Patients With Metabolic Syndrome

Metabolic SyndromeCoronary Artery Disease

The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of peripheral and respiratory muscle training on respiratory muscle strength, respiratory functions, exercise capacity and quality of life in coronary artery patients with metabolic syndrome. Prospectively, randomly, double-blind, and controlled study. Stable coronary artery patients with metabolic syndrome will be included to the study from the Istanbul University Cardiology Institute clinic. Patients will be randomized into 3 groups; Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) and Peripheral Muscle Training Group (n: 20): 3 days per week for 6 weeks duration. Peripheral Muscle Training will be applied by elastic band and Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation three times per week for 6 weeks.Inspirator Muscle Training (IMT) and peripheral muscle training Group (n: 20): IMT will be applied 7 days per week, twice a day for 15 minutes. The program will continue for 6 weeks duration under weekly control of the investigator. Training intensity will set at 30% of the maximum inspiratory pressure.Peripheral Muscle Training will be applied by elastic band and Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation three times per week for 6 weeks. Peripheral Muscle Training Group (n: 20): Exercise will be applied by elastic band and Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation three times per week for 6 weeks.Parameters will be recorded before and after training. Evaluation parameters:Demographic and anthropometric measurements, respiratory function test,respiratory muscle strength,dyspnea, peripheral muscle strength, 6 minutes walking test, physical activity, quality of life, depression, sleep quality and laboratory evaluation.

Long-term Effects of CPAP on Lipidemia and Hs-CRP Levels in OSA Patients

Obstructive Sleep ApneaCoronary Heart Disease

The increased risk of atherosclerotic morbidity and mortality in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has been linked to hypertension, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, and systemic inflammation. The relationship regarding obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and lipidemia and systemic inflammation is far from conclusion for obesity as a strong confounding factor.
