Active clinical trials for "Coronary Disease"

To investigate whether women with Polycystic Ovary syndrome (PCOS) have evidence of an increased prevalence rate of subclinical atherosclerosis as measured by the presence of plaque, increased intima-medial carotid artery wall thickness and lower brachial artery flow mediated vasodilation.

To evaluate factors associated with cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in a cohort of 795 men and women aged 75 years or older at the time of a comprehensive examination conducted between 1984 and 1987.

To test the hypotheses that the risk of myocardial infarction and/or stroke is associated with elevated plasma levels of homocysteine, and low plasma levels of folate, vitamins B12 and B6.

To analyze existing data from the Physicians Health Study (PHS), a randomized primary prevention trial of low-dose aspirin and beta carotene conducted among 22,071 U.S. male physicians, to address questions concerning aspirin and cardiovascular (CV) disease that could not adequately be addressed during the randomized aspirin period.

The primary objective of this study is to build a repository of resting cardiac phase space signals from eligible subjects using the Phase Signal Recorder (PSR) prior to coronary angiography for the purposes of machine-learning and testing algorithms developed by Analytics 4 Life. Male and Female subjects will be uniquely and consecutively enrolled into one group to support populating a repository of phase signals.

Cardiovascular disease, and in particular ischemic heart disease, is the main cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide today (1). Myocardial infarction (MI) presents the most serious clinical entity through its short-term life threatening involvement. The many advances in the management of IDM during the acute phase, namely the increasingly frequent and effective use of reperfusion means (angioplasty and thrombolysis) as well as pharmacological progress, in particular, the management of anti-thrombotic treatment has enabled a significant reduction in intra-hospital mortality, in the medium and long term (2). In fact, the mortality rate dropped from 25-30% before the creation of the cardiac intensive care units (ICUS) around the 1960s, to around 16% in the 1980s and reaching 4 to 6% today. In the latest data from the French FAST MI 2015 register (French Registry of Acute ST-Elevation or Non-ST-elevation Myocardial Infarction) mortality was 2.8% in hospital (3) and 5.3% at 6 months (4). Nevertheless, mortality rates diverge from one register to another and are generally higher compared to randomized controlled clinical trials. In our country, due to the aging of the Tunisian population (currently the oldest population in Africa), as well as the rise in the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors (5), the incidence of IDM is clearly increasing. However, our local specificities concerning the management of this pathology and the intra-hospital mortality which results from it, remain little described despite the importance of these data in the development of personalized algorithms and the improvement of the quality of this support. the management of CAD ST + in the public sector poses more and more efficiency problems and moves away from international recommendations in our country, an assessment of our national situation is necessary. The objectives of the study are, primary, the incidence of new cases that consult the emergency room for CAD ST + and the treatment delivered to the emergency room, in particular the nature of the treatment for obstruction (primary angioplasty or thrombolysis). Secondary, the evaluation of hospital complications and the future of patients on D30 and after one year from the inclusion's day.

The HIV/HEART Aging study (HIVH) is an ongoing, prospective, multicentre trial that was conducted to assess the incidence, the prevalence and the clinical course of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) in HIV-infected patients. The study population includes outpatients from specialized HIV-care units of the German Ruhr region, who were at least 18 years of age, were known to have a HIV-infection and exhibited a stable disease status within 4 weeks before inclusion into the trial. From March 2004 (Pilot phase) to October 2019 (12,5 year Follow-up) 1806 HIV+ patients were recruited in a consecutive manner. The standardised examinations included a targeted assessment of medical history and physical examination. Blood was drawn for comprehensive laboratory tests including HIV specific parameters (CD4 cell count, HIV-1 RNA levels) and cardiovascular items (lipid concentrations, BNP values and renal parameters). Furthermore, non-invasive tests were performed during the initial visit, including additional heart rate and blood pressure measurements, electrocardiogram (ECGs) and transthoracic echocardiography (TTE). Examinations were completed in accordance with previously defined standard operating procedures. CVD were defined as coronary, cerebrovascular, peripheral arterial disease, heart failure or cardiac vitium.

The purpose is to observe and evaluate the safety and efficacy of Bingo drug-coated balloon in the real world.

To assess diagnostic accuracy,image quality and renal safety of a double low-dose coronary CTA protocol at coronary artery evaluation in patients with diabetes by using invasive coronary angiography(ICA) as the reference method and to compare the results with those obtained traditional dose protocol. The study will randomly include about 400 consecutive participants aged 18 to 80 years old who had been diagnosed with diabetes and suspected coronary artery disease.All participants undergo ICA and coronary CT angiography performed with a whole-heart CT scan.Coronary segment interpretability,image quality based on a four-point Likert scale,blood indicators of renal function will be accessed between double low-dose CTA protocol and traditional CTA protocol. Investigators hypothesize that an individualized coronary CTA protocol that appropriately reduces radiation dose and contrast dose does not affect image quality and diagnostic accuracy, and can reduce the risk of kidney damage in high-risk patients.

Study objective - to assess the efficacy, tolerability and adherence of bisoprolol/perindopril FDC in patients with HT and stable CAD in everyday practice. Type of the program: multicenter, observational, uncontrolled, open program. The program will involve 480 general practitioners (GPs) and cardiologists from the primary care facilities.Each doctor includes four patients. It is planned to include not less than 1920 patients in total.
