Active clinical trials for "Coronary Disease"

To examine the associations among depression, inflammation, and coronary heart disease using an existing data base and associated plasma samples.

To assess the safety and efficacy of AGI-1067, as compared to placebo, in the treatment of vascular inflammation and atherosclerosis by assessing the reduction in cardiovascular events.

To conduct a person-level meta-analysis by pooling 9 United States studies with both black and white cohorts.

To investigate the genetics of C reactive protein in families with myocardial infarction.

The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of heart muscle viability on left ventricular (LV) remodeling after a heart attack; to explore the relationships between retained viability of the area of tissue death (infarct zone), LV remodeling, response to the Occluded Artery Trial (OAT) intervention, and response to late percutaneous coronary intervention of the infarct related artery (IRA).

To examine hypotheses concerning the relationships between nutrient intake (in particular, specific fatty acids, antioxidant nutrients, and B vitamins), dietary patterns, plasma lipoproteins, and heart disease endpoints in the population-based Framingham Offspring Studies.

To examine the prospective association of green tea consumption to the incidence and mortality of coronary heart disease (CHD) using multivariate analysis while controlling for the potential confounding effects of cholesterol, triglycerides, glucose and dietary nutrients.

To elucidate the role of biobehavioral factors in the etiology, pathogenesis and course of coronary heart disease (CHD) and to use this knowledge to devise more effective prevention, treatment and rehabilitation approaches.

To determine whether deficient vagal antagonism of sympathetic nervous system (SNS) actions on the heart contributed to increased coronary heart disease risk in hostile persons.

To conduct a genetic epidemiologic study of the coronary heart disease (CHD) risk factors of blood lipids and obesity in Black and white girls who participated in the NHLBI-supported National Growth and Health Study (NGHS). The study was ancillary to NGHS.
