Active clinical trials for "Coronary Disease"

Complete normalization of CFR following AVR for aortic stenosis was observed only for stentless valves. Besides the superior hemodynamic performance this might explain the excellent long term results of this valve design.

The purpose of this study is to assess the long-term clinical outcomes after stenting bifurcation coronary artery lesions, and to determine whether simple or more complex techniques are associated with a better clinical outcome. We will also assess the risk factors associated with poorer clinical outcomes

To investigate the relationship of vascular cell phenotypes to atherosclerosis.

To evaluate the relation of retinal microvascular characteristics to subclinical cardiovascular disease, clinical disease, and their risk factors in the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA) cohort.

To further clarify the concept of coronary-prone behavior and to develop methods of assessing coronary-prone behavior. Specifically, to revise the component scoring system for Potential for Hostility in the Structured Interviews measure of Type A behavior.

To evaluate whether the long-term use of oral contraceptives, after discontinuation, was associated with an increased incidence of first nonfatal myocardial infarction among women above the age of 50.

To conduct a 25-year follow-up of the surviving participants in the Western Collaborative Group Study, the first large prospective study of coronary heart disease risk factors to incorporate direct assessment of Type A behavior.

To determine the natural history of coronary heart disease in the biethnic community of Corpus Christi, Texas.

To conduct a five-year follow-up of the population of Gubbio, a town in north central Italy, in order to determine the relationship of baseline sodium-stimulated lithium countertransport to subsequent change in blood pressure and incidence of hypertension.

To examine trends in trans-fatty acid intake by using newly available nutrient data to recalculate 24 dietary recalls from the Minnesota Heart Survey.
