Active clinical trials for "Coronary Disease"

To foster collaboration between the World Health Organization MONICA Project and the NHLBI Study of Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC). To ensure that valid comparisons could made between findings in MONICA and ARIC by supporting activities to standardize coding, classification, and analysis of coronary and stroke events, risk factors, and medical care according to MONICA protocol.

To test the hypothesis that the aggressive treatment of plasma LDL and oxidized LDL will result in improvements in the activity of ischemia in patients with coronary artery disease and will reverse characteristic cell/vessel wall dysfunctions in the arteries of these patients.

Among patients undergoing elective primary coronary artery bypass graft (CABG), the principal objective of this randomized trial was to compare the efficacy of two strategies of intra-operative hemodynamic management during cardiopulmonary bypass in preventing peri-operative cardiac, cognitive and neurologic morbidity and mortality, and post-operative deterioration in patients' quality of life as measured by the SF-36.

To examine whether the association between selected hypertensive genes and combined fatal coronary heart disease and nonfatal myocardial infarction in high-risk hypertensives is modified by the type of antihypertensive treatment, leading to differential risks of coronary heart disease.

The Framingham Heart Study was initiated to study the factors associated with the development of cardiovascular disease by employing long-term surveillance of an adult population in Framingham, Massachusetts. The Framingham Offspring Study was initiated to assess familial and genetic factors as determinants of coronary heart disease.

To conduct surveillance of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality and its correlation with known risk factors in all cohort study groups in Evans County, Georgia.

To conduct longitudinal and cross-sectional studies of risk factors for coronary heart disease and hypertension in school age children and adults who had been examined in previous screens.

To determine morbidity and mortality from cardiovascular disease among American Indians and to compare cardiovascular disease risk factor levels among Indian groups living in different geographic areas.

To continue the comprehensive research program on the epidemiology of cardiovascular and other major chronic diseases, including cancer and diabetes, in four Chicago population cohorts. The four cohorts include the Chicago Heart Association Detection Project in Industry cohort, the Peoples Gas Company cohort first examined in 1958-1959, the Peoples Gas Company cohort first examined in 1959-1962, and the Western Electric Company cohort.

To ascertain the sixteen year mortality status of the 361,662 middle-aged men screened in 1973-1975 for the Multiple Risk Factor Intervention Trial (MRFIT).
