Active clinical trials for "Coronary Disease"

To identify behavioral factors underlying the development of cardiovascular risk in young adults.

To examine some of the psychosocial predictors of poor outcome among revascularized coronary artery disease patients.

To study mechanisms of excess coronary ischemia secondary to alterations in autoregulation and arteriolar vasoreactivity in Black Americans with hypertension, varying degree of left ventricular hypertrophy, and angiographically normal or mildly diseased coronary arteries.

To estimate the relative risks of acute myocardial infarction (MI) and of stroke in postmenopausal users of estrogen/progestogen (E/P) combinations and to estimate the relative risks of MI and of stroke in users of estrogen alone.

To compare rates of coronary heart disease (CHD), cancer, total mortality and exercise injuries in 68,000 runners and 68,000 walkers during four years of surveillance

To find genes important in the susceptibility to coronary heart disease.

Myocardial ischemia is a heart condition in which not enough blood supply and oxygen reaches the heart muscle. Damage to the major blood vessels of the heart (coronary artery disease), minor blood vessels of the heart (microvascular heart disease), or damage to the heart muscle (hypertrophic cardiomyopathy) can cause myocardial ischemia. Any of theses three conditions can cause patients to experience chest pain and other symptoms as well as cause the heart to function improperly. In order to detect myocardial ischemia researchers can use tests to measure the movement of the walls of the heart. Walls receiving inadequate supplies of blood often move less and occasionally move in the opposite direction. Some of the tests may require patients to receive injections of radioactive tracers. The radioactive material acts to enhance 3 dimensional pictures of the heart and helps to identify areas of ischemia. The purpose of this study is to determine whether 3-dimensional imaging (tomography) with radioactive tracers can provide more important information about heart wall function than routine diagnostic tests.

The aim of the present observational study is to collect clinical data on the non-implantable medical device INVADER™ PTCA in the daily use in an unselected population.

This study enrolled patients who used to received PCI therapy with nonintervened coronary lesions. Baseline characteristics and laboratory testing were collected to find out the risk factor difference between ISR and nonintervened coronary lesions.

Large population cross sectional study between 2019-2020 for 4207 new patients that refer to professor Kojuri cardiovascular clinic in shiraz, Iran, was conducted. Patients were undergone selective coronary angiography from radial artery approach by an expert interventional cardiologist. ABI were measured for all patients. ABI ratio was compared with the results of coronary angiography for patients who underwent coronary angiography to measure specificity and sensitivity.
