Metal Allergy In-Stent Restenosis Study
Metal AllergyContact Allergy4 moreIn-stent restenosis remains one of the most challenging problems in patients after coronary artery angioplasty. Angiographically, it is discovered in 10% of the patients after drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation. There are multiple factors causing restenosis, which can be divided into two major groups: first vessel-dependent (based on the vessel's tortuosity, dimensions and lesion's calcification, all leading to suboptimal stent expansion), and second dependent on the inflammatory processes caused by the intervention. Study objectives is the analysis of the possible correlation between allergy to metals utilised during the stent manufacturing (nickel, cobalt, chromium, molybdenum, tungsten) and in-stent restenosis occurence. The angiographic results of stent implantation, and in-stent restenosis will be assessed independently by two skilled interventional cardiologists, and in case of their discrepant opinions, the decision will be made on the basis of the third cardiologist. The tests will be applicated during the hospitalisation, then read after 48 hours and 72 hours, and subsequently interpreted by the skilled dermatologist, during the hospital stay or afterwards.
Epidemiology and Long-term Outcome of Patients With VHD
Valvular DiseaseValvular Heart Disease5 moreValvular heart diseases are significant problem in Polish population. Coexistence of coronary artery disease in patients with VHD increases the risk of death and affects further therapeutic strategy. The aim of the study is analysis the epidemiology and the long-term prognosis among patients with VHD.

Correlation Between Micro Vascular Complications and Severity of Coronary Artery Disease in Type...
Patients With Type 2 DM Who Underwent Coronary Angiography Due to Coronary Artery Disease and Presence of Microvascular Complications in Same PatientsDiabetes is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide and it contributes substantially to healthcare costs. Type 2 Diabetes mellitus is the most common type of diabetes accounting for approximately (90%) of all cases. Type 2 DM carries a two to six times risk of death from cardiovascular etiologies, such that age adjusted prevalence of white Americans for coronary artery disease (CAD) is double in those with type 2 DM than those without .
Long-Term Outcomes in Patients With Three-Vessel Disease
Three Vessel Coronary DiseaseThe long-term outcome of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), and medical therapy (MT) alone for triple-vessel disease (TVD) patients is controversial. The aim of this study is to evaluate the long-term outcome of TVD patients among these three treatment strategies, to find out the most appropriate treatment methods for these patients.
Severe Aortic Valve Stenosis and Concomitant Coronary Artery Disease in Patients Undergoing TAVI...
Aortic Valve StenosisCoronary Artery DiseasePatients undergoing surgical aortic valve replacement (sAVR) with concomitant coronary artery disease (CAD) are known to have higher mortality rates compared to patients without CAD. This same phenomenom has not been clearly mapped in patients with CAD that goes through a transcatheter aortic valve implantation procedure.
Plaque Stratification Using Ccta in Coronary ARtery Disease (PoSTCARD)
Coronary Artery DiseaseDevelop time-to-event prediction and plaque phenotype classification models for patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease.
CD16+ Monocytes in Coronary Heart Disease (CHD)
Coronary Heart DiseaseMonocytes may be separated into phenotypically and functionally distinct cell types by the presence or absence of the lipopolysaccharide receptor CD14 and the Fcγ-receptor CD16. The investigators hypothesize that the total numbers of CD16+ monocytes are significantly related to cardiovascular outcome in patients with angiographically proven coronary heart disease.

Comparison of Cardiac Imaging Techniques for Diagnosing Coronary Artery Disease
Coronary Artery DiseaseA large number of cardiac catheterizations are performed each year, primarily to diagnose heart disease. However, a cardiac catheterization is an invasive procedure which is associated with serious complications such as heart infarction, stroke, and death. Therefore, there is a need for non-invasive procedures to diagnose coronary heart disease. The purpose of this study is, therefore, to assess the diagnostic accuracy of non-invasive cardiac imaging modalities for the detection of heart disease in patients presenting for the first time to the cardiologist with chest pain.
