Active clinical trials for "Coronary Disease"

Exercise is commonly recommended as a treatment for patients who present with peripheral artery disease (PAD). Although a great deal of research has supported the efficacy of exercise rehabilitation for PAD, it is infrequently implemented into clinical practices.To date, no comparison of cardiac rehabilitation efficacy and acute exercise responses has been made between patients with PAD and patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Considering some of the parallels between the two conditions, as they are both atherosclerotic conditions, and the strong recommendations for exercise in both populations, it is worthwhile to compare the efficacy of cardiac rehabilitation responses. It is also unclear if the magnitude of response for PAD patients is dependent on biological sex and clinical presentation as this may influence the development of exercise prescriptions. This study will be a prospective two-arm cohort study with both groups (CAD and PAD) undergoing the same intervention (standard 6 month out-patient cardiac rehabilitation program offered at the Toronto Rehabilitation Institute Rumsey Centre). The primary variable of interest will be peak oxygen consumption (VO2peak) with a secondary variable of interest being functional capacity, as measured by the 6-minute walk test. Tertiary variables of interest will include walking impairment, as measured by the Walking Impairment Questionnaire, and quality of life, as measured by the Short Form-36 health survey (SF-36).The second objective of this study is to determine if the magnitude of responses to cardiac rehabilitation for patients with PAD are dependent on biological sex or type of PAD (asymptomatic, post-surgical intervention, or intermittent claudication).Exploratory objectives include comparing acute exercise responses (prescribed exercise training load, actual training load, exercising heart rate and rating of perceived exertion) between PAD and CAD patients.

The aim of this Real-world study in China is evaluating the Safety and Efficacy of Paclitaxel Eluting Balloon Catheter in Coronary de-novo lesions(target vessel diameter:2.5mm-4.0mm)Treatment. And the primary point of this study is the target lesion failure of 12 months after surgery.

Background Coronary heart disease has become a serious challenge to China with its high prevalence and mortality. The impaired glucose regulation is prevalent in patients with cardiovascular disease. However, there are few drugs that interfere early with impaired glucose regulation. Ginkgo biloba extract is not only a commonly used drug for cardiovascular diseases, but also has a significant effect in reducing blood sugar. Therefore, this study used a single case randomized controlled trial to explore the efficacy of Ginkgo biloba pills in the treatment of coronary heart disease patients with impaired glucose regulation. Methods This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, three-period crossover trial for a single subject.A total of 12 subjects will be recruited in this trial. The trial is divided into three cycles, one cycle has two treatment periods. Ginkgo biloba pills and placebo will be randomized during the treatment period. The test period will be lasted 58 weeks and subjects will take 48 weeks. Subjects will be selected by the researcher strictly in accordance with the inclusion and exclusion criteria.

As the end stage of almost all cardiovascular diseases, heart failure has become an increasingly common cause of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality worldwide. In China, coronary artery disease (CAD) has become the main cause of heart failure in recent years. CAD combining with heart failure usually predicts poor outcome, with coronary revascularization the most universally used therapy. However, the difference of several types of such therapy has less well been compared. Thus, the study mainly aims to compare different types of coronary revascularization therapies such as Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI),Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) as well as Hybrid Coronary Revascularization (HCR), and also make the optimization strategy especially in patients with heart failure. The study also aims to investigate whether disease progression in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) can be assessed by new biomarkers and determine their diagnostic and prognostic value, relating several cardiac functional parameters to clinical outcome.

The study aim is to compare the effects produced by two different exercise training modalities on atrial function evaluated by speckle-tracking echocardiography on hypertensive patients with coronary artery disease. 50 males patients will be randomized to interval training or combined training the latter including both aerobic and resistance exercises. The training period will last 12 weeks. The protocol will provide two different assessment of atrial function: -acute: after a single session of exercise; - 12 weeks: at the end of exercise training protocols.

As biologic, epidemiologic, and clinical trial data have demonstrated, inflammation is a key driver of atherosclerosis. Recently, a gigantic proof-of-concept trial, CANTOS has demonstrated that inflammation of atherosclerosis can be effectively modulated by Canakinumab. However, fatal infections encountered and high cost in CANTOS. There is, therefore, a clear need for cheaper and safe alternatives. The latest cell biological studies have demonstrated that mesenchymal stem cells have a unique immunomodulatory function. MSCs contribute to a critical role in regulating the inflammatory microenvironment and interacting with immune cells and induce anti- inflammatory macrophages, inhibit foam cell formation, which could reduce atherosclerosis in pre-clinical studies. Therefore, in this randomized, controlled trial, our aim was to assess the safety and the anti-inflammatory efficacy of intravenous infusion human umbilical Wharton's jelly-derived mesenchymal stem Cell (WJMSC) in patients with coronary artery atherosclerosis disease.

This study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel clinical trial in Chinese population with stable angina pectoris. The purpose is to determine the efficacy and safety of Xueshuanxinmaining tablet in the treatment of stable angina pectoris.

This is a double-blind, randomized placebo-controlled trial which aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Wen Xin granule in patients with unstable angina pectoris.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of interval training, based-intensity on 70% at 110% of oxygen consumption and workload attained on ventilatory anaerobic threshold, on aerobic functional capacity, autonomic modulation of heart rate, metabolic profile in patients with and without coronary artery disease.

To evaluate the safety for the combination of Rivaroxaban and Ticagrel versus triple antithrombotic regimen (Vitamin K Antagonist (VKA), Clopigogrel and Aspirin) in patients with atrial fibrillation and coronary artery disease undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
