Molecular and Imaging Studies of Cardiovascular Health and Disease
HealthyDilated Cardiomyopathy2 moreBiobank is a program which collects biological samples, health information and imaging data from consented patients and stored them at the core facility. These information would be used to study the molecular, imaging and outcome studies of cardiovascular health and disease.
Frailty Syndrome in Daily Practice of Interventional Cardiology Ward
Frail Elderly SyndromeCoronary Heart Disease3 moreThe impact of frailty on immediate and long term outcomes of invasive treatment of coronary artery disease is not fully characterized. The assessment of frailty may help physicians in the selection of best treatment option and in the timing and modality of the follow-up. The FRAilty syndrome in daily Practice of Interventional CArdiology ward (FRAPICA) study is designed with the aim to validate the use of the Fried frailty scale and instrumental activities of daily living scale (IADL) as prognostic tools in patients admitted to hospital for symptomatic coronary artery disease, either stable, unstable, or acute coronary syndrome (ACS). The FRAPICA study is a single center prospective study enrolling patients aged ≥65 years. The aims are (1) to describe Fried frailty scale and IADL scale distribution before hospital discharge and (2) to investigate the prognostic role of Fried frailty and IADL scores. The outcomes are: (1) results of invasive treatment, (2) its complications (periinterventional MI, contrast-induced nephropathy, blood loss), (3) three-year all-cause mortality, cardiovascular mortality, stroke, myocardial infarction, reintervention, heart failure, hospital readmission for any cause, and a composite of the above mentioned. Ancillary analyses will be focused on different clinical presentations, different tools to assess frailty and risk stratification. The FRAPICA program will fill critical gaps in the understanding of the relation between frailty, cardiovascular disease, interventional procedures and outcome. It will enable more personalized risk assessment and identification of new targets for interventions.
Mainz Intracoronary Database. The Coronary Slow-flow and Microvascular Diseases Registry
Coronary Artery DiseaseMicrovascular DysfunctionPrimary goal of the registry is to collect prospective data on patients undergoing coronary angiography in Mainz. Following amendment of the procol, this study will also include patients who received an Aborb bioresorbable scaffold for the therapy of de novo stenoses.
Impact of Coronary CT Angiography, Physiologic Assessment and Pharmacotherapy on the Clinical Outcomes...
Coronary Artery DiseaseThe investigators aim to investigate the prognostic implication of stenosis and plaque features on coronary CT angiography (CCTA), physiologic assessment, and pharmacotherapy after invasive coronary angiography.
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.
Insulin Resistance and Severity of Coronary Artery Disease
Insulin Resistancethis is an observertional study aimed at Study the association between Insulin resistance estimated by HOMA and Angiographic Severity of Coronary Artery Disease in Non Diabetic & Non Obese Patients.
Simultaneous Cardiac Surgery and Micronet-covered Stent Carotid Revascularization in High Perioperative...
Carotid StenosisCoronary Artery Disease3 moreProspective, single-center, clinical registry of patients with symptomatic/critical carotid artery stenosis at risk of stroke coexisting with unstable or multivessel severe coronary artery disease and/or severe valvular heart disease undergoing endovascular treatment of carotid atherosclerosis using a mesh stent in combination with cardiac surgery (coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and/or valve surgery). A study involving clinical data evaluation of truly simultaneous treatment outcomes in patients deemed to require carotid revascularization at the time of surgical cardiac intervention (single-stage, simultaneous treatment). An open-label study, without randomization - a single arm study. Academic Registry - scientific activity of the Faculty of Medicine, Collegium Medicum, Jagiellonian University and John Paul II Hospital.
Precision Therapy in Complex High-risk Coronary Artery Disease
Coronary Artery DiseaseThis is a prospective registry to enroll complex high-risk coronary heart disease patients. The purpose of this study is to compare intracoronary physiology and imaging-guided intervention strategy and angiography-guided intervention strategy for clinical outcomes and health economics.
Prospective Coronary Heart Disease Cohort
Coronary Heart DiseaseMyocardial InfarctionTo evaluate the biomarkers for the prognosis of coronary heart disease, patients with coronary heart disease will be recruited and followed up for at least 2 years.
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.
