Risk Stratification for Coronary Artery Disease With Type 2 Diabetic Patients
Coronary ArteriosclerosisDiabetic type 2 patients (DB2) has a higher prevalence of coronary artery disease (CAD) than non-diabetic persons. Presence of CAD results in murmurs arising from the filling of the arteries and can be detected by the CADScor System and can together with biological patient profile indicate the risk of presence of CAD in the patient. In the pilot study 100 asymptomatic DB2-patients examined with CADScor System and biomarkers will be compared with computed tomography (CT) cardiography and single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) for assessing if combination of patient profile (gender, age etc) combined with above measures may give rise to new improved risk scoring method for he DB2-patient.
The Impact of Opioids in Coronary Heart Disease
Coronary Heart DiseaseIn this study, the risk of opioid medications on coronary heart disease in adults is investigated. Patients with the necessity of a coronary angiography and control patients with a non-cardiac disease of the same hospital are inquired with a standardized questionnaire about demographic and clinical risk factors for heart attack. An impact of opioid medications on coronary heart disease is hypothesised (MIOP). In addition, all patients with coronary angiography should be consulted twice (after 3 and 6 months) to find out how many of these patients have developed a refractory angina pectoris (TRAPS).
The Copenhagen City Heart Study
Coronary Heart DiseaseStroke4 moreThe Copenhagen City Heart Study is an ongoing cardiovascular population study initiated in 1976 which has examined approximately 25,000 individuals from the general population. The initial sample has been re-invited up to four times and supplemented by younger individuals. The study includes questionnaires, clinical assessment and biomarkers. The population have been followed in a number of outcome registries and more than 900 scientific papers have been published.
Sport as Therapy: a 6-months Lifestyle-Intervention for Patients With Coronary Artery Disease and/or...
Exercise TrainingCoronary Artery Disease2 moreRegular exercise training has shown to improve exercise capacity in patients with cardiovascular disease. The feasibility and transferability of exercise training in a community based cardiovascular rehabilitation setting is currently less well investigated. The objective of this study is to translate regular exercise training into a community based setting. A 6 months training intervention program with lifestyle counseling is performed, with both supervised training in rehabilitation centres as well as home based training. The aim of the project is to implement this program for a wider patient population and to improve exercise capacity, diastolic function as well as cardiometabolic parameters.
Efficacy of Dotarem® (Gd-DOTA) Versus Gadovist® (Gd-DO3A-butrol) for Late Gadolinium Enhancement...
Coronary Artery DiseaseCardiomyopathyThis project is designed to demonstrate equivalence of Dotarem enhanced LGE-CMR (late gadolinium enhancement cardiac MRI) with Gadoviost enhanced LGE-CMR from the standpoint of visual image quality, quantitative image quality, and association with clinical outcomes.
Patient Preference for Radial Versus Femoral Vascular Access
Coronary Artery DiseaseThe purpose of this study is to determine the preference of patients regarding the vascular access site in future coronary procedures. We hypothesize that patients prefer the lesser invasive procedure via radial access.
Uric Acid Levels and Endothelial Functions
Coronary Artery DiseaseUric acid is a risk factor for coronary artery disease (CED) in postmenopausal women but the association with inflammation and coronary microvascular endothelial dysfunction is not well-defined. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship of serum uric acid, inflammatory markers and CED.
HCR vs. CABG Study
Coronary Artery DiseaseThe purpose of the study is to find out if hybrid coronary revascularization (HCR) and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) procedure outcomes are similar. HCR is a combination of surgery and catheter procedures to open up clogged heart arteries. CABG is a surgical procedure to open up clogged heart arteries.
Trial on Vascular Inflammation in Atopic Dermatitis
Atopic DermatitisVascular Inflammation1 moreA total of 30 subjects with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis. Thirty subjects without AD matched for sex, age and coronary artery disease risk factor with the AD subjects will also be included. All subjects will undergo the following imaging procedures: a 18FDG-PET to quantify vascular inflammation in the ascending aorta and carotids and a MDCT to calculate the Agatston score. Skin and blood biomarkers will also be assessed.
Physiologic Assessment of Coronary Stenosis Following PCI
Coronary Artery DiseaseCoronary Stenosis4 moreThis is a pilot study designed to assess the relationship between iFR (instantaneous wave-free ratio) pullback and the distribution of coronary atheroma/stenoses as assessed by Quantitative Coronary Angiography (QCA) post angiographically successful PCI (Percutaneous Coronary Intervention).
