Active clinical trials for "Coronary Disease"

This will be a prospective randomized clinical trial comprising of n=300 diabetic patients, randomized to either dynamic (n=150) or conventional MPI (n=150) strategy. Healthcare resources utilization of each patient will be tracked. Patients will be followed up for short term outcomes and for long term outcomes.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether Fractional flow reserve (FFR, (coronary pressure wire-based index for assessing the ischemic potential of a coronary lesion)-guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with multivessel coronary artery disease (CAD) will result in similar outcomes to coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG).

The purpose of this study is to compare clinical outcomes between quantitative coronary angiography -guided and Intravascular ultrasound -guided strategy in patients with significant coronary artery disease undergoing sirolimus-eluting Orsiro/Orsiro mission stent implantation.

DanICD is a randomized, controlled study to with the aim to assess whether there is a benefit of ICD-implantation in patients with coronary artery disease (including acute myocardial infarction), who survive cardiac arrest due to ventricular fibrillation/sustained ventricular tachycardia and undergo revascularization and with an LVEF above 35%.

The overall goal of this study is to develop a combined polygenic risk score (PRS) and metabolic risk score (MRS) and determine its impact on selecting community members for CCS. The trial component of this study will compare the use of these scores to motivate people to adhere to therapy, an ongoing challenge for clinicians, by providing feedback in a meaningful form to both the clinicians and the patients.

This study is to evaluate the feasibility of myocardial Standardized Uptake Volume (SUV) assessment by means of X- (Single photon emission tomography) SPECT/Computed tomography (CT), to assess normal reference value under rest and stress in a homogeneous population without Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) and to assess the variation of absolute quantitative SUV measurements under rest and stress. The values will be evaluated in comparison with perfusion Positron Emission Tomography (PET)/CT (using 82Rb as perfusion tracer) and CT coronary angiography (CTCA) with contrast medium.).

Transversal, national, multi-center study with progressive recruitment designed to assess the diagnostic accuracy of A2AR expression for the identification of significant obstructive CAD (FFR<0.8) of patients suspected of CCS compared to the gold standard. To assess the diagnostic accuracy of the A2AR profile (i.e. KD/EC50) for identifying myocardial ischemia in patients with suspected CCS compared to the gold standard inducible myocardial ischemia. To determine the best threshold value for A2AR expression for identifying significant obstructive CAD (FFR<0,8) in patients with CCS, and to estimate the diagnostic performances associated with the identified threshold To determine the best threshold value for A2AR profile (i.e. KD/EC50) for identifying myocardial ischemia (See annex 2) in patients with CCS and to estimate the diagnostic performances associated with the identified threshold.

This project is part of the ACHIEVE GREATER (Addressing Cardiometabolic Health Inequities by Early PreVEntion in the GREAT LakEs Region) Center (IRB 100221MP2A), the purpose of which is to reduce cardiometabolic health disparities and downstream Black-White lifespan inequality in two cities: Detroit, Michigan, and Cleveland, Ohio. The ACHIEVE GREATER Center will involve three separate but related projects that aim to mitigate health disparities in risk factor control for three chronic conditions, hypertension (HTN, Project 1), heart failure (HF, Project 2) and coronary heart disease (CHD, Project 3), which drive downstream lifespan inequality. All three projects will involve the use of Community Health Workers (CHWs) to deliver an evidence-based practice intervention program called PAL2. All three projects will also utilize the PAL2 Implementation Intervention (PAL2-II), which is a set of structured training and evaluation strategies designed to optimize CHW competence and adherence (i.e., fidelity) to the PAL2 intervention program. The present study is Project 3 of the ACHIEVE GREATER Center.

This study is designed as a repository study to collect resting cardiac phase signals and subject meta data from eligible subjects using the Phase Signal Recorder (PSR) prior to coronary angiography. The repository data will be used for the purposes of research, development, optimization and testing of machine-learning algorithms developed by Analytics 4 Life.

Microvascular coronary dysfunction (MCD) (abnormities in small blood vessels/arteries in heart) with symptoms of persistent chest pain, primarily impacts women. There are an estimated 2-3 million women in the US with MCD and about 100,000 new cases annually. Recent data from our research group suggests that coronary microvascular disease impairs the way the heart relaxes. This pilot study will attempt to exacerbate this phenotype in an effort to better understand the pathophysiology of the disease. The investigators will recruit 30 volunteers total (10 healthy calibration subjects, 10 women with microvascular disease, and 10 age-match women for the group with microvascular disease). Subjects will undergo a series of "stress" maneuvers in conjunction with advanced cardiac magnetic resonance imaging.
