Active clinical trials for "Myocardial Ischemia"

Coronary heart disease and stroke are belong to the atherosclerotic vascular disease (ASCVD). When both occur at the same time, the mortality rate is 19%-37%. Especially when ischemic stroke occurs in patients with acute myocardial infarction, the mortality rate is as high as 36.5%. At present, there is a lack of co-management for the cardio-cerebrovascular diseases. Some studies have explored the disease management based on Internet +, but there are still challenges in personalized management and improving adherence. Based on Internet + 's "co-prevention and co-management" model of cardio-cerebrovascular diseases, this study plans to provide personalized intervention by smartphone App to improve the patients' self-management, in order to reduce the incidence and mortality of atherosclerotic cardio-cerebrovascular events in the high-risk population of cardio-cerebrovascular diseases.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of adenosine on the recovery of myocardial akinesia in ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). The study is a single-center randomized clinical trial intending to include 90 patients. The objective of the study is to investigate whether treatment with adenosine hastens recovery of myocardial akinesia and improves cardiac function at 48 hours in patients with STEMI.

This study is aimed to evaluate the clinical outcomes, efficiency and feasibility of the real-time heart team approach and the conventional heart team approach.

This study is a randomized trial with the objective of comparing the cost-effectiveness of the 2 recommended strategies: CCTA vs functional tests, allowing the evaluation of the quality of life of these patients in relation to the health resources used. In symptomatic patients with an intermediate probability of having stable CAD, i.e., whose pretest or clinical probability does not allow the elimination of the disease, and in patients without anginal symptoms for low levels of exercise who do not respond to medical therapy, in France, the diagnostic care pathways have become mature enough to set up a pragmatic prospective randomized trial with the objective of comparing the cost-effectiveness of the 2 recommended strategies: CCTA vs. Probabilistic medico-economic reasoning makes it possible to establish this two-way hypothesis more easily than in clinical research without the need to impose the superiority of one of the strategies.

A multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group phase IV Study evaluating the effects of tirzepatide on atherosclerotic plaque progression assessed by coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) in participants with a diagnosis of type II Diabetes (T2DM) and atherosclerosis.

Low mobility is a mediator for poor outcomes of hospital care. Wearable devices will be used and 2-way texting via patient smartphones to monitor patients' physical activity during hospitalization with and without gamification to improve patient adherence to existing guidance on recommended activity. After discharge, investigators will assess patient care utilization (SNF, inpatient vs home rehab, ED visits, readmission) and conduct validated surveys on patient function at 30 days after discharge.

Objective: To evaluate the impact of heated versus combustion tobacco products on progression of atherosclerosis in patients with CAD unable(unwilling) to quit smoking. Rationale: Despite the efforts to curb smoking and full awareness of its deleterious health impact, smoking remains a significant contributor to morbidity and mortality. Some health impact of smoking may be improved by other forms of cigarettes than traditional combustion, especially for subjects unwilling or unable to stop smoking. As recently as 2020, one of heated tobacco products (HTP)(IQOS) was FDA Authorized as a 'Reduced Exposure' product. The available evidence to date allows to conclude that the IQOS system heats tobacco but does not burn it, which significantly reduces the production of harmful and potentially harmful chemicals. Scientific studies have shown that switching completely from conventional cigarettes to the IQOS system significantly reduced body's exposure to harmful or potentially harmful chemicals. There is also evidence indicating lower levels of inflammatory markers and improved vascular function associated with use of heated tobacco products. However, it is unknown whether the reduction in the exposure translates into potential reduction of harm within cardiovascular system, as compared to the traditional (combustion) cigarettes. The evidence is of crucial importance for patients with cardiovascular diseases, medical community, and national health authorities planning evidence based policies regarding HTP/cigarettes.

The RA-BIA Registry is a single-center observational study. The study included consecutive patients from 2008 who met inclusion criteria and were treated with RA. The main aim of the study is to assess the efficacy of rotational atherectomy.

TruePhysio pressure microcatheter is a novel device for evaluating the functional significance of coronary stenosis, and its safety and efficacy on the measurement of hyperemic index have been validated in the previous SUPREME study (NCT03541577). This study will further evaluate the safety and efficacy of the physiological indices measured by the TruePhysio pressure microcatheter, including resting and hyperemic indices, with respect to the physiological indices measured by the Pressure Wire.

This prospective randomized clinical trial aims to compare two different "metal-free" strategies for elective percutaneous coronary revascularization: the FFR-guided DCB-only PCI (drug-coated balloon: SeQuent Please™, B Braun Melsungen GmBH) vs. OCT-guided BRS implantation (bioresorbable scaffold: Absorb™, Abbott Vascular).
