ABI for Screening of Coronary Artery Disease
Coronary Artery DiseaseLarge population cross sectional study between 2019-2020 for 4207 new patients that refer to professor Kojuri cardiovascular clinic in shiraz, Iran, was conducted. Patients were undergone selective coronary angiography from radial artery approach by an expert interventional cardiologist. ABI were measured for all patients. ABI ratio was compared with the results of coronary angiography for patients who underwent coronary angiography to measure specificity and sensitivity.
Evaluation of Accuracy of CFD-based RuiXin-FFR by Comparing With Pressure-wire-based FFR
Coronary Artery DiseaseMyocardial Ischemia1 moreCoronary Artery Disease (CAD) is the top killer nowadays. Pressure-wire-based Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR) is the gold standard for measuring ischemia in coronary arteries. CFD-based RuiXin-FFR, which is noninvasive, is developed recently. But its accuracy is not verified. This is a multi-center and prospective study to evaluate the sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of CFD-based RuiXin-FFR compared with wire-based FFR.
Temporal Trends of COronary Artery Disease and PEripheral Artery Disease (COPE) in Korea
Coronary Artery DiseasePeripheral Artery Disease1 moreCardiovascular disease (CVD) is caused by atherosclerosis of the artery and is classified into coronary artery disease, cerebrovascular disease, and peripheral arterial disease, depending on the location of the artery and the target organs. However, since CVD share a similar pathophysiology and the probability of incidence of other CVD in CVD patients is very high. It is thought that CVD incidence and mortality can be reduced by predicting the degree of incidence of other CVD in CVD patients. The aim of this study is to investigate the incidence and mortality of other CVD diseases in CVD patients.
The ADAPT Study: Assessment of the DiAgnostic Performance of DeepVessel FFR in SuspecTed Coronary...
Coronary Artery DiseaseMyocardial IschemiaDEEPVESSEL FFR is a medical device that is designed to extract three- dimensional coronary tree structures and generate computed tomography-derived fraction flow reserve (FFR) values from coronary CT angiogram images. The primary objective of this multi-center clinical validation study is to validate the clinical performance of DEEPVESSEL FFR in identifying patients with myocardial ischemia due to significant obstructive coronary artery diseases.
A U.S Post Approval Study Evaluating the SYNERGY XLV (MEGATRON) Stent System
AtherosclerosisHeart Diseases3 moreThis is a post-market, standard of care, real-world observational study to assess the clinical outcomes of the SYNERGY XLV (MEGATRON) Coronary Stent System for the treatment of subjects with atherosclerotic lesion(s) ≤ 28 mm in length (by visual estimate) in native coronary arteries ≥3.50 mm to ≤5.00 mm in diameter (by visual estimate). This Post Approval study is a cohort associated with the Evolve 4.5/5.0 (SYNERGY LV) Post Approval Study, which is registered under ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT03875651.
Detection of Proximal Coronary Artery Disease in the Work-up for Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation...
Computed Tomography AngiographyCoronary Artery Disease2 moreBackground: Computed tomography angiography (CTA) is already used in the work-up for transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) and could partially replace invasive coronary angiography (CAG) to rule out proximal coronary lesions. Objectives: To assess the diagnostic accuracy and yield of pre-TAVI CTA to detect coronary lesions (≥50% DS and ≥70% DS) in the proximal coronary segments on a per-patient and a per-segment level. Methods: The DEPICT CTA database consists of individual patient data of four studies that analysed the diagnostic accuracy of pre-TAVI CTA to detect coronary lesions. For this analysis, diagnostic accuracy was assessed in the left main and the three proximal coronary segments.
Atrial Fibrillation and Non-obstructive Coronary Lesions
FibrillationAtrial2 moreAtrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia associated with excessive risk of ischemic stroke and heart failure as well as reduced life expectancy. On the other hand, chronic coronary syndromes (CCS) remains the main cause of morbidity and mortality in an aging population. Both disease entities share common risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes and obesity The purpose of the study is to investigate the hypothesis indicating lack of significant coronary lesions in AF vs. sinus rhythm (SR) patients.
Diagnostic Performance of Fractional Flow Reserve Derived From Coronary CT Angiography
Coronary Artery DiseaseThis is a blind evaluation, self-control, multicenter clinical trial designed to determine the diagnostic performance of CT-FFR from coronary computed tomographic angiography (CCTA), as compared to CCTA alone, for non-invasive diagnosis of the presence of a hemodynamically significant coronary stenosis, using invasive fractional flow reserve (FFR) as the reference standard.
Li-Hep vs. Non-Li-Hep Coated Transfer Device
Acute Coronary SyndromeChest Pain2 moreThis study is a prospective, diagnostic, cohort study within the standard care of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients. It compares the analytical performance of Siemens® point-of-care high sensitive troponin I testing in venous, plasma and capillary sample types. The investigators hypothesize that there is a good correlation between the Siemens® POC HS cTnI assay results for the three sample types and that the bias between different POC sample types reduces from ~10% to ≤ 5% when using heparinized transfer device for the capillary sample.
Painless Myocardial Ischemia in Diabetic Patients.
Painless Myocardial IschemiaThis study aims to investigate the relationship between the concentrations of blood orphanin, norepinephrine and the morbidity of painless myocardial ischemia in patients with diabetes mellitus. Hopefully, the biomarker(s) in the blood of diabetic patients can be found for screening high risk patients in the diabetes sufferers to prevent the painless myocardial ischemia.
