Sensor-equipped Ultrathin Pressure Microcatheter Versus Pressure Wire for FFR Measurement
Coronary Artery DiseaseCoronary Disease1 moreTruePhysioTM Sensor-equipped Ultrathin Pressure Microcatheter (referred to as TruePhysioTM Microcatheter below) is a novel device for evaluating the functional significance of coronary stenosis. This study will compare the differences, if any, between the coronary fractional flow reserve (FFR) measured by the TruePhysioTM Microcatheter and the Pressure Wire.

Ischemic Heart DiseaseCoronary Artery DiseaseThis prospective registry is intended to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the XIENCE Sierra stent.
Serum Endostatin Type 2 Diabetic Patients
Diabetes MellitusType 22 moreTo assess the relationship between serum endostatin (ES) and Coronary artery calcification (CAC) in type 2 diabetic (T2DM) patients.
Sevoflurane Effect on Left Atrial Performance: A Transoesophageal Echocardiographic Study
Ischemic Heart DiseaseThe left atrial performance is affected by the preload as well as the afterload. The LA active pumping is increased by stretching of the LA but within limits, after which the active pumping declines. The LV stiffness acts as the LA afterload. Whenever the LV stiffness increases, the overall emptying fraction becomes more pumpdependent
Role of Cardioflux in Predicting Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) Outcomes
Coronary Artery DiseaseThis single-center clinical trial is designed to evaluate the CardioFlux magnetocardiograph diagnostic imaging system to predict major adverse cardiac events (MACE) in patients referred for evaluation for coronary artery disease.
Relationship of Oral Status to Coronary Artery Disease
Coronary Artery DiseasePeriodontal DiseasesWe hypothesized that periodontal disease and edentulism could be a risk for CAD and there might be a relationship between the oral status and the number of main coronary vessels with ≥ 50% stenosis. Therefore, primary goal of this study is to investigate the connection between oral status and the extent of coronary artery disease (CAD), which is diagnosed by angiography.
Effects of Cardiac Telerehabilitation During COVID-19 on Cardiorespiratory Capacities in Coronary...
Cardiac DiseaseAfter an acute coronary syndrome, an adapted cardiac rehabilitation program is necessary to restore or increase physical capacities and decrease cardiovascular risk. This multidisciplinary care combines physical training sessions and therapeutic education workshops. The COVID-19 pandemic imposed restrictions such as the closure of rehabilitation centres. To remedy this problem, one solution was to adapt the existing program to a remote cardiac telerehabilitation, i.e., medical and paramedical supervision of rehabilitation sessions and therapeutic patient education meetings via digital tools. Recent studies have shown that it was a safe (no reported adverse effects), effective (similar gains in peak oxygen consumption compared to traditional cardiac rehabilitation and patient-adherence alternative.
Influence of Obstructive Sleep Apnea on the Severity of Coronary Artery Disease
Coronary Artery DiseaseIt is widely accepted that coronary artery disease (CAD) is related to a high mortality. It is predicted that an increase of approximately 21.3 million cardiovascular events and 7.7 million cardiovascular deaths over 2010 to 2030 in China.1 Male sex, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, obesity and smoking are all traditionally considered as risk factors for CAD. In recent decades, tremendous progress toward the prevention and treatment of traditional cardiovascular risk factors have helped decrease the morbidity and mortality from CAD, but the condition remains a major public health challenge worldwide. Looking into the other potential risk factors (OSA) for CAD, it may help to develop additional preventative strategies and further reduce the incidence and mortality of CAD.
Release of Epoxyeicosatrienoic Acids From Erythrocytes During the Use of Extracorporeal Procedures...
Coronary ArteriosclerosisValve Heart DiseaseHypotension with potentially serious consequences for organ perfusion is a common complication in extracorporeal procedures such as heart-lung-machine. The exact reasons for this are still insufficiently clarified. Probably periinterventional vasorelaxant released substances play a crucial role in these procedures. These substances could be due to contact of blood cells with the Membrane in the HLM arise. In this project the hypothesis will be checked, if EETs / DHETs are released by Erythrocytes during this extracorporeal procedure and thus act as potential candidate products for the result of hypotonic phases during usage of heart-lung-machine. We will determine differences in RBC fatty acids profiling in patients before and after heart-lung-machine intervention. RBC fatty acids profiling will be achieved by using targeted HPLC-MS mass spectrometry. It is believed that during HLM there is an increase in EETs / DHETs in the serum and in the erythrocytes. It is believed that shear forces play an important role in the release of erythrocyte EETs / DHETs.
Assessing the Association Between Multi-dimension Facial Characteristics and Coronary Artery Diseases...
Coronary Artery DiseaseThe purposes of this study are 1) to explore the association between multi-dimension facial characteristics and the increased risk of coronary artery diseases (CAD); 2) to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of multi-dimension appearance factors for coronary artery diseases.
