Active clinical trials for "Coronary Disease"

Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and coronary artery diseases (CAD) are the most common cause of death worldwide. After an acute cardiac event, prevention of new cardiac events is essential and reduces suffering. Group-based cardiac telerehabilitation (CTR) refers to the use of information and communication technologies for rehabilitation purposes in promoting CAD patients´ health.

The GISE-SHOCKCALCIUM Registry is an Investigator Driven Italian All Comers prospective, observational, multicenter Italian IVL registry of Calcified lesions Treated with Intravascular Lithotripsy. The main purpose is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of coronary lithotripsy for treatment of severe calcified lesion. A total of 2000 patients with coronary calcified lesions will be enrolled in 24 months. The registry will be conducted in approximately 50 interventional cardiology centers in Italy with at least 2 IVL procedures per 24 months. Primary endpoint: Target lesion failure (TLF) at 1 year. Secondary safety endpoints: in Hospital Target lesion failure (TLF); Target Lesion Failure at 30 days; definite or probable stent thrombosis; procedural angiographic safety endpoints. Secondary effectiveness endpoints: device crossing and IVL delivery success; angiographic success; QCA (quantitative coronary angiography) outcome; Imaging outcome.

To estimate the characteristics, pathogenesis, risk factors and intervention measures for different stages of heart and kidney diseases, and to optimize the curative effects of different treatment schemes

This study aims to investigate whether DCB angioplasty, compared to statin-based medical treatment alone, will lead to more reduction in plaque lipid burden as assessed by near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) at 6-9 months following the index procedure.

SPIRIT XLV PAS is a prospective, single arm, multi-center, US and OUS post-approval observational study to evaluate the continued safety and effectiveness of the XIENCE Skypoint Large Vessel Everolimus Eluting Coronary Stent System (EECSS) Large Vessel (LV) sizes (diameter 4.5 mm and 5.0 mm) during commercial use in a real-world setting.

MulticenterFlow is a prospective, multi-center, registry study. The aim of the study is twofold: To evaluate prognostic implications of coronary microvascular disease (CMD) in patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD) undergoing revascularization decision using fractional flow reserve (FFR) or other non-hyperemic pressure ratios in deferred population To evaluate the efficacy of intravascular imaging-guided optimization to enhance post-revascularization coronary circulatory function, compared with angiography-only guided revascularization in revascularized population.

Asia is in the midst of an epidemic of diabetes. Epidemiological figures suggest that there are more than 110 million people affected by diabetes in China, with a significant proportion of young adults already affected. With increasingly young age of onset, the financial implications due to productivity loss and health care expenditures are colossal. As a result, prevention of diabetes and diabetic complications has been identified as a top healthcare priority in China. In Chinese, diabetic kidney disease with albuminuria, which reflects widespread vascular damage, is a major predictor for end-stage renal failure, cardiovascular complications and death, and a major contributor to the increased healthcare burden associated with diabetes. There is an immense demand for effective tools which can accurately predict diabetes and diabetic complications. Only few genetic factors have been consistently shown to be associated with diabetic kidney disease or other diabetic complications. Identification of genetic factors or other biomarkers predicting these complications can facilitate early identification of high risk subjects for treatment, as well as provide novel targets for drug treatment. To address this, the investigators plan to utilize both hypothesis-generating whole-genome approach as well as candidate gene-based studies to identify novel genetic, epigenetic factors as well as other biomarkers associated with the development of diabetic cardiovascular and renal complications, as well as other diabetes-related outcomes. The Hong Kong Diabetes Biobank (HKDB) is being established in order to serve as a territory-wide diabetes register and biobank for epidemiological analyses, as well as large-scale discovery and replication of genetic and epigenetic markers, and other biomarkers relating to diabetes, diabetes complications or related outcomes. Subjects will be recruited from diabetes centres across Hong Kong, and will have detailed clinical information collected at the time of written consent and blood taking. Subjects will have detailed assessment of baseline diabetes complications through a structured clinical assessment, and will be prospectively followed up for development of different diabetes-related endpoints, as well as collection of clinical information and causes of hospitalization, along with information on medications and prescription records. This multi-centre cohort and biobank aims to improve our understanding of the epidemiology of diabetes and diabetes complications and related outcomes, as well as provide a unique resource for large-scale biomarker research to advance diabetes care and precision medicine in diabetes.

Patients with chronic coronary syndromes (CCS) diagnosed without significant lesions in invasive coronary angiography (ischemia non-obstructive coronary artery disease - INOCA) represent approximately 50% of all patients with CCS. Results of FAME study clearly showed that evaluation of coronary circulation should not be accomplished only with visual assessment in resting conditions. Current European Society of Cardiology Guidelines of diagnosis and treatment of CCS published in 2019 emphasize the necessity of performing complex coronary physiology assessment. Invasive physiological measurements and vasoreactivity provocative tests emerged as key tools to differentiate between vasospastic angina, microcirculatory angina, overlap of both conditions or non-cardiac disease. According to contemporary literature, identification of heterogeneity of patients with INOCA is crucial for determination of adequate treatment. An appropriate pharmacotherapy has a potential to improve outcomes including grade of angina, quality of life, exertional tolerance and most important - MACCE (major adverse cardiac and cardiovascular events) free survival. However, there is a lack of evidence on each of the subtypes of INOCA especially in those with signs and symptoms of vasospasm in provocative test but without visual spasm in epicardial vessels.

The study is to compare the effects of SGLT-2 inhibitors and other oral hypoglycemic agents in patients with coronary heart disease and diabetes mellitus undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention.

In this prospective, multicenter observational study, The investigators evaluated the safety and effectiveness of DAPT over 1 year in all patients with coronary artery disease, including patients with complex high-risk coronary artery disease (CHIP), who underwent PCI using the Genoss DES stent, and performed subgroup analysis. Through this, the investigators aim to determine whether there are differences in safety and effectiveness depending on whether or not the patient is a subject with complex high-risk coronary artery disease.
