Drug-Coated BalloonDe Novo Stenosis5 moreThe DCB-ACS trial is a prospective, multi-center, non-inferiority, randomized controlled trail. The purpose of this trial is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of drug-coated balloon(DCB) in de novo lesions for acute coronary syndromes (ACS) .
A Clinical Investigation to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of IBS in Patients With Coronary Artery...
Coronary Artery DiseaseA prospective, multi-center, single-blinded, randomized trial to assess the safety and efficacy of the Sirolimus-Eluting Iron Bioresorbable Coronary Scaffold System (IBS) in treating patients with coronary artery disease compared to the Abbott Vascular XIENCE Everolimus Eluting Coronary Stent System (XIENCE).
Effect of Remote Ischemic Preconditioning in Patient Undergoing Cardiac Bypass Surgery
Coronary Heart DiseaseDuring coronary artery bypass graft surgery, injury occurs to the heart muscle. Some of this injury is due to the deprivation of oxygen and nutrients to the heart (a process called ischemia) during the surgery itself. The objective of this study is to examine whether remote ischaemic preconditioning (RIPC), in which the application of transient ischemia to the forearm and thigh (through the inflation of blood pressure cuffs placed on the right upper arm and upper thigh) may reduce the injury to the heart muscle sustained during cardiac surgery. The study hypothesis is: remote ischemic preconditioning will protect the heart and improve short-term clinical outcomes during coronary artery bypass graft surgery.
Effect of Evolocumab in Patients at High Cardiovascular Risk Without Prior Myocardial Infarction...
Coronary Heart Disease (CHD)This study will assess the effect of lowering low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) with evolocumab on major cardiovascular events in adults without a prior myocardial infarction (MI) or stroke who are at high risk of a cardiovascular event.
Edoxaban Versus Edoxaban With antiPlatelet Agent In Patients With Atrial Fibrillation and Chronic...
Atrial FibrillationCoronary Artery Disease2 moreThis study evaluates the efficacy and safety of Edoxaban with the combination of edoxaban and antiplatelet in patients with stable CAD (coronary artery stenosis ≥50% on medical treatment or revascularized stable CAD [≥ 12 months for acute coronary syndrome and ≥ 6 months after stable CAD]) and high-risk atrial fibrillation (CHA2DS2-VASc score ≥2).
Clinical Trial of Cilostazol Eluting Stent System (CES-1) in De Novo Coronary Artery Lesions
Coronary Artery DiseaseThe purpose of the this trial is to evaluate the clinical safety and efficacy of Cilostazol eluting stent system (CES-1) for the treatment of single de novo lesions in native coronary arteries.
Cardiovascular Rehabilitation - Effectiveness of the Tulppa Program
Coronary Heart DiseaseThis study investigates the effectiveness of a Finnish Tulppa outpatient rehabilitation program. Tulppa is a group-based secondary prevention program for patients with vascular diseases. The program is developed by the Finnish Heart Association. The intervention is implemented at the local primary health care centers in 12 health districts in Finland. A longitudinal controlled study is used to investigate the effects of the intervention on participants' level of cardiovascular risk factors (e.g. lipids, blood pressure, body mass index), functional capacity (e.g. 6 minute walk test), life style as well as psychosocial factors (e.g. smoking, diet, physical activity, health-related quality of life and depression). The data will be collected at baseline (i.e. before the intervention), and 6 and 12 months after the intervention started. The participants (n = 300) are patients diagnosed with coronary heart disease. The study group (n = 150) is recruited from participants of Tulppa rehabilitation in three health care districts (Pirkanmaa, South Karelia, Päijät-Häme). The control group (n = 150) is recruited from two health care districts (Turku and Hyvinkää) that do not provide Tulppa rehabilitation.
Coronary Artery Calcium-guided Primary Prevention of Major Coronary Heart Disease in Asymptomatic...
Type2 DiabetesCoronary Heart DiseaseTo evaluate benefits of primary prevention of major coronary heart disease for asymptomatic coronary artery disease in type 2 diabetes mellitus based on the coronary artery calcium score Our proposal Based on CAC score, primary early prevention could reduce incidence of major coronary heart disease (CHD) including cardiac mortality, acute myocardial infarction, coronary revascularization based on CAC score, primary early prevention could reduce all cause mortality, cardiac mortality, cardiovascular disease, heart failure, ischemic stroke, heart failure associated hospitalization and chronic kidney disease and related clinical cost effect
Aspirin Twice a Day in Patients With Diabetes and Acute Coronary Syndrome
Diabetes MellitusAcute Coronary Syndrome2 moreTo compare treatment with Aspirin Protect® twice a day (100 mg in the morning and 100 mg in the evening) versus Aspirin Protect® 100 mg once per day on a composite end-point of ischemic events in diabetic patients, or in patients with a known risk factor for non-optimal aspirin response (obesity, abdominal obesity or coronary event occurring with long-term aspirin),with acute coronary syndrome. It is expected that aspirin taken twice a day will reduce the occurrence of new ischemic event after acute coronary syndrome in diabetic patients or in patients with a known risk factor.
