Active clinical trials for "Angina, Stable"

The purpose of this implementation trial is to execute a nurse-led, home-based cardiac rehabilitation (HBCR) program, evaluate the program's impact on patient outcomes over 6 months; and compare outcomes of HeartHome (HH) participants to a group of participants in traditional cardiac rehabilitation (CR).

Despite several large clinical trials clearly establishing that coronary revascularization (i.e. percutaneous coronary intervention - PCI) does not prolong survival or prevent myocardial infarction (MI) for stable coronary artery disease (CAD), patients with stable angina continue to believe that PCI is performed to improve these outcomes. Additionally, recent concerns have emerged of overuse of PCI among patients with little or no angina. Thus there is a compelling need to share with patients the risks and benefits of PCI prior to treatment to reach an informed decision. This study is designed to answer the question of whether a decision aid can improve patient knowledge, decisional conflict and patient satisfaction with decision-making compared to usual care for the treatment of stable angina.

Objectives: To determine the efficacy of low rate fluoroscopy at 7.5 frames per second (FPS) vs. conventional 15 FPS for reduction of operator and patient radiation dose during diagnostic coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention via the transradial approach. Background: Transradial approach for cardiac catheterization is potentially associated with increased radiation exposure. Low rate fluoroscopy has potential to reduce radiation exposure.

The purpose of the study is to compare two different types of decision support materials for patients considering treatment for chest pain or chest discomfort from heart disease.

This trail aims to evaluate the efficacy of acupoints on the specific meridian for chronic stable angina pectoris, compared with acupoints on the other meridian, sham acupoints and waiting-list. And to confirm the specificity of acupoints on meridian.

The purpose of this study is to test if an early appointment (within 10 days) when compared to a standard appointment (5 weeks) will affect attendance at the Cardiac Rehabilitation orientation and subsequent enrollment into cardiac rehabilitation.

A single-centre double-blind placebo-controlled crossover randomised controlled trial to determine the physiological basis of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor activation on exercise haemodynamics, as manifest through specific electrophysiological parameters measured by serial exercise stress testing, in those patients with reversible myocardial ischaemia and obstructive coronary artery disease confirmed by a baseline exercise test and coronary angiography respectively.

Stable angina is a cardiac pathology that adversely affects the quality of life of the patient, which develops as a result of narrowing of the coronary vessels developing in atherosclerotic ground and / or impaired oxygen supply-need balance. Studies widely investigated the effects of exercise training in patients with stable angina. No study investigated the effects of inspiratory muscle training in patients with stable angina.Investigators aimed to investigate the effects of inspiratory muscle training on aerobic exercise capacity, quality of life, depression, peripheral and respiratory (MIP, MEP) muscle strength, pulmonary function, dyspnea, fatigue in stable angina patients.

Comprehensive assessment of human vasodilatory effect of GLP-1 in forearm and coronary arteries

To compare the safety and efficacy of FFR (fractional flow reserve)-guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) strategy with IVUS (intravascular ultrasound [IVUS])-guided PCI in patients with intermediate coronary stenosis.
