The Value of Wearable Electrocardiogram in the Diagnosis of Coronary Artery Disease
Coronary Artery DiseaseECG is one of the classic tests for coronary artery disease, but patients with coronary artery disease often have no onset of typical symptoms at the time of consultation, so it is difficult to capture ischemic changes on a conventional ECG. In this study, a diagnostic test was performed to assess the diagnostic value of wearable ECG for coronary artery disease, with the gold standard of coronary angiography and quantitative flow fraction. In addition, we followed up with the enrolled participants for 1 year to assess the relationship between wearable ECG and long-term prognosis.

Returning Genome and Metabolome Data to FinTerveys 2017 Participants: P5.fi FinTerveys Study
Coronary Heart DiseaseType 2 Diabetes1 moreP5.fi study - P4 together with a fifth 'P' and '.fi' for population health Finally Implemented in Finland - studies the value of returning genetic and metabolomic risk information in two diseases (coronary heart disease and type 2 diabetes) and one feature (venous thromboembolism). The hypothesis of the study is that 1) combining genetic and metabolic risk with traditional risk factors adds value to the personal risk assessment of these diseases, 2) such risk information can be provided to individuals using a web based user portal in an easily understandable and useful format, and 3) receiving genetic and metabolomic risk information has an effect on the health of the study participants. The study is a continuation of FinHealth 2017 -study, which involved more than 7,000 Finns from around the country. The participants of FinHealth were invited to participate in P5.fi -study. The new research utilises information, samples, and measurements obtained in the FinHealth Study. Prospective clinical significance of selected genetic and metabolomic risk scores will be studied in 30.000 Finnish individuals. The study will analyze the genetic and metabolomic profile of the P5.fi participants and develop and test a protocol for returning them health related risk information. The impact of the intervention will by followed up by questionnaires and national health registers for five years.
Outcomes of Drug Coated Balloon Angioplasty, A UK Real Life Experience From 2009 to 2015
Ischaemic Heart DiseaseThis is a single center, retrospective, observational cohort study to assess the safety and efficacy of drug coated balloon (DCB) angioplasty in all forms of coronary artery disease. The Investigators intend to report outcomes of all patients who received DCB angioplasty at their center during the above mentioned period for up to 10 years.
Antiplatelet Response, Interval Variability & Events in Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (ARIVE-PCI)...
Coronary Artery DiseaseSubjects in this study have recently had or are scheduled for a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) as part of their normal, routine medical care. This procedure should restore the blood flow in the vessels of the heart. One complication that can occur after a PCI procedure is blood clotting and narrowing of the artery in the area that was treated. This can result in a decrease in the blood flow to the heart. To avoid this complication, patients are given antiplatelet or "blood-thinning" drugs such as aspirin and clopidogrel as part of their routine care after this procedure. For this research study, the investigators would like to take blood samples from subjects at 3 different time points while they are taking these antiplatelet drugs. The investigators will study the subjects' blood and medical history to help us further our understanding of how these drugs respond in individuals and in certain patient populations. Everyone responds a little differently to medications due to many reasons including our genetic make-up. Genes are passed down from our parents and determine our physical appearance such as the color of our hair and eyes. Differences in our genes may also help explain why some drugs work in some people, but not in others. By studying subjects' blood, medical history, genetic make-up and by recording how the subjects' blood responds over the course of their treatment, the investigators hope to learn more about how our bodies respond when taking these drugs. Additionally, the investigators hope to find better ways to predict who will respond more effectively to these drugs and better ways to monitor how these drugs are working in patients' bodies over time after PCI procedures.
