Effectiveness of ECP Therapy in Stable Angina Pectoris Patients
CounterpulsationAngina PectorisExternal Counterpulsation (ECP) is a non-invasive therapy using pressured cuff that is performed on patients with refractory stable angina pectoris to relieve symptoms and increase quality of life. In Indonesia, waiting time for getting coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) procedure for revascularization treatment in stable angina pectoris patients is way longer than international recommendation which correlates with increase morbidity and mortality during the waiting time. Utilization of ECP for such patients who wait for CABG procedure is still unclear. The investigator aim to evaluate efficacy of addition of ECP compared with medical therapy alone for this population. The efficacy is evaluated using measurement from echocardiography result, treadmill test result, and clinical outcome. if applicable, examination of myocardial perfusion using nuclear examination will also be performed.
A Trial Comparing the Effectiveness and Tolerability of Medications in Older Adults With Stable...
AnginaStable Ischemic Heart DiseaseTo establish the effectiveness and tolerability of standard of care anti-anginal treatment (beta-blocker and calcium channel blocker medications) in older adults with symptomatic Stable Ischemic Heart Disease (SIHD) and multiple chronic conditions (MCC).
RecoveryPlus Telerehab Platform Pilot Study
Heart DiseasesAngina9 moreIn this prospective, single-arm study, we will look at the initiation, participation, sustained engagement, and safety of 100 adult subjects (ages 45 years or older) with recent (within the past 60 days) clinician referral to CR who are offered CTR via the RecoveryPlus platform. We want to understand the effectiveness of the RecoveryPlus platform in engaging participants in CR while remaining a safe alternative for the delivery of evidence-based CR content. The primary hypothesis of this study is that the RecoveryPlus CTR platform and patient-facing mobile application provide a safe alternative to traditional in-person CR, and demonstrate a high rate of initiation, participation, and engagement in CR exercise programming than traditional modes of CR delivery, as documented in the literature. Current in-person and non-personalized CR programming lacks RecoveryPlus' convenient remote access, easy-to-use digital tools to support independent, autonomous exercise, and a platform to facilitate engagement and feedback between patients and EPs.
Improving Cardiac Rehabilitation Outcomes Through Mobile Case Management (iCARE)
Acute Myocardial InfarctionAcute Coronary Syndrome3 moreThe purpose of this research is to find out if doing cardiac rehab at home, or a mix of cardiac rehab at home and in the clinic, is as effective as coming in to the clinic for cardiac rehab.
Stepped Care vs Center-based Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation for Older Frail Adults Living in Rural...
AnginaStable2 moreThis feasibility trial will focus on older adults 60+ who are candidates for cardiac or pulmonary rehabilitation and who are vulnerable, mildly or moderately frail. We will randomize older frail adults living in rural regions of the county to Treatment as usual (TAU) or Stepped care (SC). TAU refers to center-based rehabilitation (CBR). Patients randomized to SC will be enrolled in traditional CBR and based on prespecified non-response criteria, will step up to three services: 1) Transportation-subsidized CBR, 2) Home-based telerehabilitation (TR), and 3) Community health worker-(CHW) supported home-based TR.

Atrial FibrillationCoronary Artery Disease2 moreThis study evaluates the efficacy and safety of Edoxaban with the combination of edoxaban and antiplatelet in patients with stable CAD (coronary artery stenosis ≥50% on medical treatment or revascularized stable CAD [≥ 12 months for acute coronary syndrome and ≥ 6 months after stable CAD]) and high-risk atrial fibrillation (CHA2DS2-VASc score ≥2).
Investigating the Effects of Dietary Nitrate on Vascular Function, Platelet Reactivity and Restenosis...
Cardiovascular DiseasesThe mainstay treatment for reducing the symptoms of angina and long-term risk of heart attacks in patients with heart disease is stent implantation in the diseased coronary artery. Whilst this procedure has revolutionised treatment the incidence of secondary events remains a concern. These repeat events are due in part to continued enhanced platelet reactivity, endothelial dysfunction and a phenomenon called 'restenosis' i.e. the stent becomes blocked ultimately requiring another expensive and risky procedure. In this study it will be determined whether a once daily inorganic nitrate administration might favourably modulate platelet reactivity and endothelial function leading to a decrease in restenosis.
Coronary Microvascular Angina Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging (CorCMR) Trial
Microvascular AnginaAngina Pectoris5 moreAnginal symptoms due to ischaemia with no obstructive coronary arteries (INOCA) is a common clinical problem, however, diagnosis and onward management is heterogeneous, and prognosis is affected. Recent advances in quantifying myocardial blood flow using stress perfusion cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) has potential for accurate detection coronary microvascular dysfunction. The CorCMR diagnostic study involves stress perfusion CMR in patients with suspected INOCA to clarify the prevalence of subgroups of patients with underlying problems, such as microvascular disease or undisclosed obstructive coronary artery disease, that might explain their anginal symptoms. A nested, prospective, randomised, controlled, double-blind trial will determine whether stratified medical therapy guided by the results of the stress perfusion CMR improves symptoms, well-being, cardiovascular risk and health and economic outcomes.
