Active clinical trials for "Coronary Disease"

To study the effects of Transcendental Meditation on Coronary Heart Disease

This study is designed to investigate dose-dependent effects of low dose colchicine on inflammatory responses, endothelial function in type 2 diabetic patients with coronary artery disease and leukocyte activation. This study also tested the relationship between doses and safety issue such as incidence of diarrhea. Eligible patients will be randomly allocated to three treatment group: colchicine at 0.5mg per day, 0.25mg per day or placebo for 12 weeks in a double blind , parallel group design. High sensitive-CRP at 4 weeks as primary end point and flow mediated vasodilatation at 12 weeks as the secondary end point will be measured.

A multidisciplinary program based on physiotherapy and diet education will be carried out for 3 months in patients with coronary artery disease with percutaneous coronary intervention. Educational lectures on nutrition and high intensity interval training will be developed in old patients with chronic heart disease. A control group will not develop any program. Effectiveness on anthropometric parameters, eating habits, physical activity, quality of life, anxiety and depression will be assessed at baseline and at 3 months.

This is a study to evaluate the lipid-altering efficacy, safety, and tolerability of ezetimibe when added to ongoing therapy with an 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-glutaryl-coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitor (statin) in participants with primary hypercholesterolemia, multiple cardiovascular risk factors, or known coronary heart disease (CHD) or CHD-equivalent disease. The statin and dose in use by the participant at screening will be maintained at the same dose for the 8-week treatment phase of the study. Following the treatment, there will be a 6-week cholesterol reversibility phase to determine the rebound effect on cholesterol after ezetimibe is discontinued, but the participant is still on their statin therapy. The primary hypothesis is that the addition of ezetimibe 10 mg/day to ongoing statin monotherapy will result in a further reduction in low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) compared with placebo. The protocol was amended to include an extension for participants who complete the base study. The extension will evaluate the safety and tolerability of concomitant treatment of simvastatin with ezetimibe10 mg/day over a 1-year period. All participants in the extension will be converted from current statin to an equivalent dose of simvastatin for 6 weeks. Participants then will be randomly assigned to receive simvastatin coadministered with either with Ezetimibe 10 mg daily or matching placebo for the reminder of study.

The presence of a coronary bifurcation complicates percutaneous revascularization. Bifurcation stenting needs to take into account the difference of diameter between proximal and distal vessels and the necessity to limit the side branch obstruction. Provisional stenting techniques with balloon juxtaposition as Kissing Balloon Inflation (KBI) fail to demonstrate a clinical benefits. This is probably explain by the detrimental effect during these technics on the proximal segment with an arterial overstretch. A new sequential technique, named rePOT, demonstrated experimentally a mechanical superiority compared to juxtaposition balloon techniques included KBI. RePOT associates an initial proximal optimizing technique (POT), a side branch inflation and a final POT. A first clinical study (n=106 patients) confirmed these excellent mechanical results with serial OCT analysis and demonstrated an excellent short term safety. Since 2017, rePOT is recommended in Europe in clinical practice. This large registry is dedicated to confirm the clinical benefits at long term after bifurcation revascularization with rePOT technique before a large randomise trial.

Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a public health care challenge. There are three types of treatment for CHD, medication, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and coronary artery bypass graft (CABG). However, some end-stage CHD patients lost the chance to get those treatment. Cardiac shock wave therapy (CSWT) is a new developed therapy for these patients, which is used in tens of countries all over the world. Safety, invasiveness, effectiveness is its advantage. Ischemia condition can be improved after CSWT. There are only three cities in China run the program of CSWT, which are Kunming, Beijing and Shanghai. The investigators designed a randomized double-blind study to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of CSWT.

The TUXEDO-India is a prospective, single blind, multi-center randomized clinical trial to assess the TAXUS Element™ in a consecutive population of diabetic patients with coronary artery disease undergoing coronary revascularization. Approximately 1,830 patients with single or multi lesion, multi vessel coronary artery or saphenous vein graft disease ranging in vessels ranging from 2.25 mm to 4.0 mm in diameter by visual estimate will be enrolled in a 1:1 randomization to TAXUS Element™ vs. XIENCE™ Prime in India at up to 50 clinical sites, to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of TAXUS Element™ in an unrestricted population. Procedural Endpoints: Device success, defined as attainment of < 30% residual stenosis of the target lesion (visual assessment) using the TAXUS Element™ or XIENCE™ Prime stent. Lesion success defined as attainment of < 30% residual stenosis (visual assessment) using any percutaneous method. Procedure success defined as lesion success without the occurrence of in-hospital MACE. Procedure complication rate including composite and individual angiographic occurrence of dissection ≥B, distal embolization, no reflow, slow flow, abrupt closure, or perforation.

Patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are at increased risk of atherothrombotic events. Clopidogrel is the most widely used platelet P2Y12 receptor inhibitor in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). However, despite its benefits, many patients still experience recurrent atherothrombotic events. The proposed study will test the central hypothesis that in DM patients the presence of CKD reduces clopidogrel-mediated P2Y12 inhibitory effects through synergistic mechanisms, which include upregulation of the P2Y12 signaling pathway and impaired clopidogrel metabolism.

This trial evaluates the effects of Empagliflozin versus Sitagliptin, in addition to standard of care, on global myocardial perfusion reserve using dynamic single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) images.

This is a Prospective, Open label, Non-randomized, Single-Arm, Multicenter Study to Evaluate the Procedural Safety and Efficacy of ELCA® in Treatment of Patients with Single or Multivessel Coronary Artery Disease (CAD). Up to 30 patients will be enrolled at up to 05 Indian study sites. Patients will be followed from enrollment through 30 days ± 7 days for the effectiveness and safety endpoints at the study centre.
