Non-obstructive Coronary Artery DiseaseThe purpose of this study is to systematically evaluate the clinical application value of vascular endothelial function examination in patients with non-obstructive coronary artery disease.
Reducing Metabolic Dysregulation in Obese Latina Breast Cancer Survivors Using Physical Activity...
Breast CancerCoronary Artery Disease2 moreThis study is about testing whether exercise will improve fitness and lessen risk factors related to heart disease, diabetes, and obesity in Latina breast cancer survivors.
An Evaluation of the Talk Test for Exercise Prescription for Home-Based Cardiac Rehabilitation
Coronary Artery DiseaseThe objectives of this pilot RCT are to examine if the Talk Test is an effective and safe tool as compared with CPET for exercise prescription in patients who have undergone CABG or PCI and enrolled in a home-based CR program with virtual exercise training monitoring.
An IT Approach to Implementing Depression Treatment in Cardiac Patients (iHeart DepCare)
Depressive SymptomsCoronary Heart DiseaseThe purpose of this study is to examine the effect of a brief electronic shared decision making (eSDM) intervention on depressive symptoms in coronary heart disease patients with elevated depressive symptoms.
Remote Maintenance Cardiac Rehabilitation
Coronary Heart DiseaseThe investigators would like to test the feasibility of a remotely prescribed and monitored exercise program in people with coronary heart disease, using a wearable activity device and text message support, compared to usual care after completing cardiac rehabilitation. One group will use a Polar Ignite watch to guide them through exercise sessions at home and will receive text message feedback. The other group will be asked to continue their routine as usual. Assessments of both groups will happen after the completion of cardiac rehabilitation and at three follow-up time points of three, six, and twelve months. The aim of these treatments is to see if the investigators can help people to maintain their exercise adherence and coronary heart disease risk factor management after completing cardiac rehabilitation.
Influence of Oxygen on Perioperative Outcome in Patients Undergoing General Anaesthesia for Elective...
Coronary Artery DiseaseAnesthesiaThe purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of supraphysiologic oxygen (hyperoxia) on myocardial function in anaesthetized patients undergoing non-cardiac vascular surgery.
An Internet-based Cardiac Rehabilitation Enhancement (i-CARE) Intervention to Support Self-care...
Coronary Artery DiseaseThis study aims to examine the effects of an internet-based cardica rehabilitation enhancement (i-CARE) programme for coronary artery disease (CAD) patients on self-care behaviour, biomarkers, physiological, anthropometric parameters, clinical outcomes and self-reported health outcomes and to understand why and how i-CARE influences patients' health behaviours.
The Impact of Pcsk-9 Inhibition on PET CFR in Patients at High CV Risk
Stable Coronary DiseaseThe study protocol is a single-arm, open label pilot study designed to evaluate the impact of PCSK-9 inhibition on coronary blood flow in patients with stable coronary artery disease. Patients with stable coronary artery disease will be recruited from the BWH Cardiovascular Medicine clinic and/or from the BWH Nuclear Cardiology Laboratory. A target sample size of 50 participants will undergo imaging with N-13 ammonia or Rubidium-82 positron emission tomography (PET) and coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) before and after 12 months of PCSK-9 inhibition with Evolocumab to assess changes in myocardial blood flow, and plaque volume. To help account for physiological changes that may occur in myocardial blood flow and inflammatory biomarkers during the study period, we will also recruit a parallel control group of stable CAD patients who will undergo similar baseline and 12-month imaging and biomarker assessment. We plan to recruit 15 patients in the parallel control group.
Bioheart Rapamycin Drug-Eluting Bioresorbable Coronary Stent System Clinical Study
Coronary Artery DiseaseAntineoplastic AgentsThe Bioheart Randomized Controlled Trial is a prospective multicentred paralleled study, which will enroll 430 patients and randomized 1:1 to study group and control group. Aim to assess the efficacy and safety of Rapamycin Drug-Eluting Bioresorbable Coronary Stent System compare with XIENCE stent in the treatment of patients with up to two coronary lesions.
SORT OUT X - Combo Stent Versus ORSIRO Stent
Coronary Heart DiseaseAngina Pectoris1 moreThe aim of the Danish Organisation for randomised trials with clinical outcome (SORT OUT) is to compare the safety and efficacy of the ComboTM stent and Orsiro™ stent in the treatment of unselected patients with ischemic heart disease, using registry detection of clinically driven events.
