Active clinical trials for "Myocardial Ischemia"

The POLARSTAR study is an early feasibility study to evaluate the performance and safety of the CryoTherapy System (CTS) for the treatment of coronary plaque lesions that are not obstructing blood flow but are at high-risk of rupture which would cause a major heart attack. The CTS is used to apply local freezing of the lesion using a balloon catheter, controlled by a console that regulates in- and outflow of a cooling agent into the catheter. The treatment is expected to stabilize the lesion, diminishing the risk of rupture. The study will enrol subjects with acute coronary disease who have suitable coronary lesions. Subjects will be followed for 1 year after the CTS treatment. Baseline identification of lesions will be done using Coronary CT-angiography (CCTA), which will be repeated at 3 and 9 months after procedure.

The objectives of this pilot RCT are to examine if the Talk Test is an effective and safe tool as compared with CPET for exercise prescription in patients who have undergone CABG or PCI and enrolled in a home-based CR program with virtual exercise training monitoring.

The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of a brief electronic shared decision making (eSDM) intervention on depressive symptoms in coronary heart disease patients with elevated depressive symptoms.

This study proposes to develop an MRI technique named Coronary Atherosclerosis T1-weighed Characterization (CATCH) that will improve the quality and reliability of coronary atherosclerosis evaluation, as well as simplify the scanning process and significantly shorten imaging time compared with conventional imaging methods.

The investigators would like to test the feasibility of a remotely prescribed and monitored exercise program in people with coronary heart disease, using a wearable activity device and text message support, compared to usual care after completing cardiac rehabilitation. One group will use a Polar Ignite watch to guide them through exercise sessions at home and will receive text message feedback. The other group will be asked to continue their routine as usual. Assessments of both groups will happen after the completion of cardiac rehabilitation and at three follow-up time points of three, six, and twelve months. The aim of these treatments is to see if the investigators can help people to maintain their exercise adherence and coronary heart disease risk factor management after completing cardiac rehabilitation.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of supraphysiologic oxygen (hyperoxia) on myocardial function in anaesthetized patients undergoing non-cardiac vascular surgery.

This study aims to examine the effects of an internet-based cardica rehabilitation enhancement (i-CARE) programme for coronary artery disease (CAD) patients on self-care behaviour, biomarkers, physiological, anthropometric parameters, clinical outcomes and self-reported health outcomes and to understand why and how i-CARE influences patients' health behaviours.

This study is being done to observe the effects of treatment from a device called the Bioboosti which utilizes pulsed electromagnetic waves on its ability to improve blood flow to the heart tissue in individuals with coronary artery disease (CAD).

The Bioheart Randomized Controlled Trial is a prospective multicentred paralleled study, which will enroll 430 patients and randomized 1:1 to study group and control group. Aim to assess the efficacy and safety of Rapamycin Drug-Eluting Bioresorbable Coronary Stent System compare with XIENCE stent in the treatment of patients with up to two coronary lesions.

The aim of the Danish Organisation for randomised trials with clinical outcome (SORT OUT) is to compare the safety and efficacy of the ComboTM stent and Orsiro™ stent in the treatment of unselected patients with ischemic heart disease, using registry detection of clinically driven events.
