Active clinical trials for "Coronary Disease"

To determine if 16-64 slice multidetector CT (MDCT) can replace the invasive procedure in patients scheduled for coronary angiography in order to exclude the presence of CAD

Intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) of the lower extremities is a well-established technique for preventing deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and for treating venous stasis. IPC will be done in the home for 3 divided hours every day for 4 weeks. Lab tests, brachial ultrasound and MRI testing will be performed at baseline and after 4 weeks of daily IPC therapy. See detailed description for increase in healthy control subjects.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ONO-1101 in patients scheduled for multi-slice CT.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate preparation and administration of PB127, echocardiographic images obtained during PB127 administration, and evaluate the safety of PB127.

The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of low-dose aspirin for the primary prevention of vascular events in patients with type 2 diabetes in Japan.

The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of graft pretreatment with CGT003 (E2F Duplex Decoy), as compared to placebo, on the incidence of patients experiencing vein graft failure after coronary artery bypass surgery.

People with coronary artery disease can reduce their chance of having a heart attack by making healthy lifestyle choices (diet, exercise, quitting smoking,etc.). There are also many medications that have been proven to reduce the risk of heart attacks and may even help people live longer. This study will look at different ways of improving the use of these beneficial medications to enhance the quality of care for people with this condition.

To assess the impact of tamoxifen on development of breast cancer, coronary heart disease, and bone fractures. The National Cancer Institute initiated the prevention trial under its National Surgical Adjuvant Breast and Bowel Project (NSABP). The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute provided support to obtain blood pressure and lipid measurements, and lipoprotein and selected coagulation factor measurements in a subsample.

To evaluate the effect of psychosocial intervention on mortality and reinfarction in coronary heart disease patients at high psychosocial risk.

To assess the effects of various postmenopausal estrogen replacement therapies on selected cardiovascular risk factors, including high density lipoprotein cholesterol, systolic blood pressure, fibrinogen, and insulin and on osteoporosis risk factors. Conducted in collaboration with the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases, The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, and the National Institute on Aging. The extended follow-up is for 3 years focusing on endometrium and breast evaluation.
