Active clinical trials for "Coronary Artery Disease"

To perform CT-QFR, invasive coronary angiography, FFR, and QFR tests on patients with moderate coronary stenosis after coronary CTA examination. Use FFR as a reference to verify the diagnostic performance of CT-QFR, and compare it with QFR.

Patients with coronary artery disease, especially after PCI, require long-term oral antiplatelet therapy. However, this patient population may inevitably require non-cardiac surgery for a variety of conditions. In order to avoid the occurrence of bleeding events, oral antiplatelet agents are usually discontinued before non-cardiac surgery in patients with coronary artery disease, which may increase the incidence of ischemic events. Therefore, it is important to provide patients with the optimal perioperative antithrombotic treatment to balance the risk of bleeding and ischemia.

The investigator aims to prospectively enroll patients who were referred for coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) for the assessment of stable chest pain (SCP) suspected of obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD). All patients underwent CCTA according to established guidelines and local institutional protocols. The imaging data were evaluated using different image post-processing software to comprehensively analyse anatomical, functional and histological information of coronary. This study will determine if CCTA-based imaging evaluation can provide more informaton to improve clinical management for SCP, including fewer MACE and better decision-making of downstream investigations and therapeutic interventions.

To evaluate intravascular attenuation of the coronary arteries and image quality in an individualized scan and CM injection protocol whereas both scan and injection parameters are tailored to the individual patient in a North American, European and Asian patient population. To evaluate the radiation dose and contrast media dose of this individualized approach for CCTA in an American, European and Chinese patient population. To evaluate the injection parameters required for an average American, European and Chinese patient population.

The multicenter Cardiology Monitoring Platform registry (mCMP-registry) is a prospective observational registry including multi-omics (diagnostic) measurements performed as part of routine clinical care, bio-banking (optional), and yearly questionnaires (optional). It's objective is to optimize (early) diagnosis and risk-stratification of (early) cardiovascular diseases, specifically cardiomyopathy phenotypes, arrhythmias, and coronary artery disease, and to create a better understanding of underlying pathophysiological processes.

In patients after myocardial infarction (MI) (heart attacks) and treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), the current standard is dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT), with aspirin and a P2Y12 receptor inhibitor, for 1 year of treatment. At 1 year, there are several options including: i) Ongoing DAPT (with aspirin and ticagrelor), ii) Selective treatment use of a P2Y12 inhibitor based on risk profiles. This study is a pilot vanguard study to evaluate several strategies for choosing anti-platelet regimen among patients post MI and PCI at 1 year.

The study will compare standard ultrasound images to high frame rate ultrasound images in patients with heart disease or with a low risk of heart disease to see if a higher frame rate of ultrasound adds to the information obtained from standard ultrasound.

Individuals who self-report as SAs will be recruited to participate in this registry as well as non-SA controls for comparison. All individuals who consent to participate will 1) complete a survey assessing demographics, medical history, family medical history; 2) have blood collection; 3) and CCTA assessment. These data will be combined with clinical data from the electronic health record and, if applicable, the Dallas Hearts and Mind Study and other research studies, for research purposes. The registry will serve to generate primary observations as well as preliminary data for future studies.

This study is a multicenter, retrospective imaging study. The study intends to retrospectively enroll patients with acute myocardial infarction who had received coronary CTA in a certain time-window before this event. All coronary CTA will be analyzed by anatomic, functional and radiomic analysis, assisted by artificial intelligence. The purpose of this study is to establish a coronary artery disease risk stratification system by coronary CTA.

Coronary artery disease is the most important cause of death worldwide. Treatment option for coronary artery disease is medical treatment, percutaneous coronary intervention, or coronary artery bypass surgery. Among them, the field of percutaneous coronary intervention is rapidly developing with regard to the improvement of devices, techniques, or medical treatment, leading to reduce mortality or morbidity. Until now, numerous previous studies related to the risk factors of coronary artery disease and the prognosis of patients have been conducted. However, the field of percutaneous coronary intervention is rapidly evolving, and treatment strategies are constantly being updated. Therefore, the current study sought to identify the long-term prognosis and related risk factors of patients with coronary artery disease who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention.
