Predicting the Risk of Non-culprit Coronary Artery Disease After a Heart Attack
Coronary Artery DiseaseST Elevation Myocardial Infarction1 moreHeart attacks caused by the complete blockage of a heart artery are treated by opening it with a stent. However, most people will also have 'non-culprit' narrowings found in their other arteries at this time. Although in general people do better if these non-culprit narrowings are also treated with stents if they look severe, this process has problems. This is because narrowings that look severe may be stable and not cause any trouble. For these people a stent is a wasted procedure and unnecessary risk. On the other hand, narrowings that are currently left alone because they appear mild, may progress and cause a heart attack. Participants who have had a heart attack will have a scan from inside the heart arteries during an angiogram (optical coherence tomography, OCT) and a magnetic resonance angiogram (MRA). If the investigators can show that it is possible to accurately predict which non-culprit narrowings are going to progress and which are going to stabilise, medical professionals may be able to better target their treatments after a heart attack.
Drug-coated Balloon Therapy for In-stent Restenosis and de Novo Coronary Lesions
Coronary Heart DiseaseThis was a single-center, prospective, open-label, observational study. Patients with coronary artery disease confirmed by coronary angiography and treated with drug-coated balloon catheter alone for target vessels were enrolled in the Cardiology Department of our hospital in January 2022. The primary endpoint was late lumen loss within 12±3 months after surgery.
PIPAF Platelets in the Pathogenesis of Ageing Associated Frailty
Coronary Artery DiseaseDiabetes Mellitus2 moreThis is a prospective observational study aimed at testing the existence of an association between frailty, inflammatory status, and degree of platelet activation and reactivity in elderly subjects with type 2 diabetes or coronary artery disease or Alzheimer's disease.
Association of PeRiODontal Disease and gUt Microbiome With Coronary artEry Disease (PRODUCE Study)...
PeriodontitisCoronary Heart Disease2 moreThe purpose of this study is to explore the relationship between periodontal disease and coronary artery disease through changes in the gut microbiome. In addition, the investigators aim to find possible periodontal pathogens that have association with cardiovascular disease.
Sex Difference of Coronary Microvascular Dysfunction in Patients With Non-obstructive Coronary Artery...
Microvascular AnginaSex difference of coronary microvascular dysfunction evaluated by coronary flow reserve will be assessed in patients with non-obstructive coronary artery disease
Prospective Registry of the Current Status of Care for Patients With Coronary Artery Disease
Coronary Artery DiseaseThe study will estimate the current status of care for participants with coronary artery disease
Plaque Stability and Metabolomics in Coronary Heart Disease
Coronary Artery DiseaseAt present, the investigators don't know the relationship between plaque stability and the metabonomics changes. In the present study, investigators will evaluate the plaque stability by intravascular unltrasound in stable coronary heart patients, and metabonomics was also assessed by high throughput sequencing. Statistic analysis were carried out to analyze the correlation between plaque stability and metabonomics changes among these study patients.
