Rosuvastatin in the Long-term Treatment of Hypercholesterolaemic Subjects With Coronary Heart Disease...
HypercholesteremiaThe primary objective of this study is to evaluate that 76 weeks of treatment with rosuvastatin calcium 2.5-20 mg results in no progression of coronary artery atherosclerotic volume as measured by intravascular ultrasonography (IVUS) imaging in hypercholesterolaemic subjects with coronary heart disease (CHD).
Effects of Celecoxib After Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
Coronary ArteriosclerosisSeveral studies including ours have reported that celecoxib improves endothelium-dependent vasodilation and reduces inflammation and neointimal hyperplasia. Our hypothesis is that celecoxib may reduce the late luminal loss after coronary stent implantation (paclitaxel-eluting stent.
PROMUS Element Japan Small Vessel Trial
AtherosclerosisCoronary Artery DiseaseA non-randomized, small vessel (SV) trial at approximately 15 sites in Japan to enroll 60 patients with a de novo lesion ≤28 mm in length (by visual estimate) in a native coronary artery ≥2.25 mm to <2.50 mm in diameter (by visual estimate). Approximately thirty patients will be randomly assigned to the angiographic subset to also undergo angiographic assessment after the 12-month clinical follow-up.
Effect of Chinese Traditional Medicine for Post Revascularization Treatment of Coronary Artery Disease...
Percutaneous Coronary Artery InterventionCoronary Artery Bypass Graft1 moreThe purpose of this study is to built the standard of Chinese Traditional Medicine test for Post percutaneous coronary artery intervention and coronary artery bypass graft,also for acute coronary syndrome,according to the multi-site、random large sample test.
Maximal Leg Press Strength Training Study for Coronary Artery Disease Patients
Heart FailureCoronary Artery DiseaseMaximal strength training has been shown to increase muscular strength, muscular volume and work economy. An 8 week maximal leg press training regime will be conducted on cardiac heart failure patients to evaluate whether they increase their maximal leg press strength, work economy, serum testosterone and quality of life. The study hypotheses are that: Aerobic work capacity will increase due to increased work economy, without increases in maximal oxygen uptake. Strength training will increase serum testosterone.
Sirolimus Eluting Stents in Complex Coronary Lesions (SCANDSTENT)
Ischaemic Heart DiseaseThe purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical and angiographic outcome of implantation of stents eluting or not eluting Sirolimus in patients with complex coronary artery lesions suitable for percutaneous coronary intervention.
Radial Artery Versus Saphenous Vein Patency (RSVP) Study
Coronary ArteriosclerosisThe purpose of this study is to determine whether the radial artery (artery in the arm) or saphenous vein (vein in the leg), when used as bypass grafts for coronary artery bypass surgery, have a greater patency rate (degree of opening)at 5 years after surgery.
DANish Multicenter STENT Trial
Ischemic Heart DiseaseStable Angina1 moreThe purpose of the study was to evaluate procedural and late outcome of coronary artery stenting using 2 different unmounted stents
The Effect of Mobilized Stem Cell by G-CSF and VEGF Gene Therapy in Patients With Stable Severe...
Ischemic Heart DiseaseThe aim of this study was to evaluate the mobilization of non-haematopoietic mesenchymal and haematopoietic stem cells from the bone marrow with granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) treatment alone and in combination with vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) gene therapy in patients with severe chronic occlusive coronary artery disease.
Study of Blood Flow in Heart Muscle
Coronary DiseaseHealthy2 moreBlood flows to areas of the heart providing oxygen and fuel to the pumping muscle. Occasionally the arteries providing the fuel can become blocked. This occurs in coronary artery disease. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be used to evaluate the blood flow to different areas of the heart muscle. In this study magnetic resonance imaging will be compared to other diagnostic tests (radionucleotide perfusion studies) capable of measuring blood flow to heart muscle.
