Multicenter LAser VA Registry of Percutaneous Coronary Interventions (LAVA)
ArteriosclerosisCoronary Artery Disease1 moreThis is a multi-center, investigator initiated study that will prospectively and retrospectively examine treatment strategies and outcomes of patients who underwent percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI). The goal of this multi-center, investigator initiated, registry is to collect information on treatment strategies and outcomes of consecutive patients undergoing laser-assisted PCI among various participating centers. The study is a purely observational, chart review study and involves retrieval and compiling of data based on clinically indicated procedures and follow-up clinical and procedural outcomes. The information collected will be used to determine the frequency of laser-assisted PCI performed at the participating sites and examine the procedural strategies utilized, and the procedural (both immediate and subsequent) outcomes.
Multi- Level and Integrated Analysis of Mechanisms Underlying Atrial Dysfunction
Ischemic Heart DiseaseIntegrated and cross-disciplinary analysis of human physiology and disease provides unbiased and deeply informative insights into human health and disease. In this study the investigators will recruit patients undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery to study the atrium of the heart or the aortic wall that when diseased can cause strokes. Hypothesis: Systems-level analysis of the left atrium and aorta cells that integrates imaging, histological, cellular and molecular data will identify new mechanism for cardiovascular form and function.

Rheumatoid ArthritisCoronary Heart DiseaseTo evaluate the contribution of the assessment of endothelial dysfunction (ED) in improving coronary hearth disease (CHD) risk stratification obtained by the Framingham risk score (FRS) in rheumatoid arthritis population (RA).
Delayed Plaque Morphology in Patients With STEMI After Thrombus Aspiration During Primary PCI
Coronary Artery DiseaseMyocardial InfarctionThe purpose of this study is to characterize the plaque morphology in patients with acute STEMI by OCT after aspiration thrombectomy.
Multi-Center Evaluation of Feasibility of SPECT Measurement of Myocardial Blood Flow and Reserve...
Coronary Artery DiseasePatients will be recruited from those referred to the local site's Diagnostic Imaging Department for SPECT myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) ,who have an intermediate to high pre-test likelihood of disease (Diamond-Forrester criteria ≥ 30%) and are clinically indicated to have an MBF study.
Cardiac Biomarkers After Marathon Running and Coronary Atherosclerosis

Coronary Artery Disease With Myocardial InfarctionThis study research the similarity of coronary artery lesions according to HLA tissue compatibility in fisrt degree relatives of the patients who just admitted clinic as Acute coronary syndrome and underwent angiyography before .
The Cerebral-Coronary Connection (C3) Study
Ischemic Heart DiseaseMicrovascular Coronary Artery Disease3 moreThis is a prospective cohort blinded study with the aim to investigate the prevalence and clinical impact of coronary microcirculatory dysfunction (CMD) in patients with ischemic heart disease, and its association with cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) and depressive disorders. In addition, CMD and CSVD linkage to systemic inflammation and endothelial function will also be investigated.
Quantification of NLRP3 (rs4612666) and CARD8 Gene (rs2043211) in Generalized Chronic Periodontitis...
Periodontal DiseasesCoronary Artery DiseaseQuantification of NLRP3 (rs4612666) and CARD8 (rs20432111) will be analysed in the subgingival plaque and blood samples of generalized chronic periodontitis with and without coronary heart disease. The demographic and the periodontal parameters were assessed and correlated with the quantification of NLRP3 (rs4612666) and CARD8 (rs2043211) was analysed with RT-PCR
Early Outcome of Total Arterial Revasclarization in IHD
Ischemic Heart DiseaseComplete arterial coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is a surgical option to improve long-term results in the treatment of coronary artery disease (CAD). The goal of coronary artery bypass operations is complete revascularization and there is an increasing interest toward complete arterial revascularization to achieve this goal because of high late failure of saphenous vein graft
