Active clinical trials for "Coronary Disease"

Prospective, open-labeled First in Man Clinical Investigation enrolling patients with visually estimated nominal vessel diameter of 3.0 mm receiving a single 3.0 x 12 mm or 3.0 x 18 mm BVS EECSS containing 98 microgramme per cm² of surface area.

Patients with underlying cardiovascular disease are at high risk of perioperative cardiovascular events and death. Hemodynamic variables are controlled by the autonomic nervous system reflected by Heart Rate Variability. To investigate whether differences of HRV parameters predict perioperative cardiovascular events.

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.

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 conduct an analysis of the epidemiology of coronary heart disease (CHD) in Blacks using data collected from the 'Survival and Ventricular Enlargement (SAVE) Following Myocardial Infarction' study.

To use data from the Epidemiologic Follow-up Study of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) to develop models to predict morbidity and mortality as a function of risk factors for coronary artery disease. Bivariate dependent survival distributions were examined.
