Active clinical trials for "Myocardial Ischemia"

Evaluate the prevalence of familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) in patients with documented coronary artery disease (CAD) event [acute myocardial infarction (AMI), acute coronary syndrome (ACS), coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)] followed by 100 cardiological centers representative of the whole Italian territory

The purpose of this study is to test the expression of microRNAs related to the syndromes after the intervention of Tongguan capsule,preliminarily to investigate the mechanism of the effects of Tongguan capsule, and provide the biological foundation of curative effect of Tongguan capsule.

Study on the registration of coronary heart disease patients undergoing PCI in Chinese's population. Get the incidence of adverse events in these patients after PCI, a clear type of adverse reaction, forms, influencing factors, to establish risk management processes, clinical safety and reasonable treatment, and provide the basis for further research and reference.

Coronary heart disease has a high incidence and high death rate. Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is an important method for the treatment of coronary heart disease (CHD). However, PCI may cause myocardial cell injury and myocardial infarction 4 Type(MI4a, Type 4 a myocardial infarction related to PCI). Dexmedetomidine(Dex) is the only anesthetic which has sedative and analgesic effects. Dex currently has been widely used in perioperative management of various surgical.This study intends to verify the effect of heart protection of Dex in perioperative.

The purpose of this study is to observe and evaluate the performance of a Sirolimus-eluting Drug Coated Balloon for the treatment of any type of coronary lesions, including native vessel disease and in stent restenosis.

The Mindfulness Intervention as Myocardial Infarction Rehabilitation Additive (MIMIRA) study aimed at studying the feasibility and acceptability of Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction - an 8 week course in meditation and yoga - in patients with a recent coronary artery event and elevated depressive symptoms. To address these questions patients with elevated scores on a depression scale were invited to participate in MBSR, and there evaluation of the course as well as a panel of psychological risk factors and resources was measured.

Coronary heart disease (CHD) poses a major health burden in the Gulf countries. It is the leading cause of mortality and morbidity in the world and poses an enormous societal burden in the Gulf countries. Early detection of disease is imperative to reduce the health care burden and financial costs associated with CHD. Knowledge of novel genetic and proteomic markers of CHD will provide more precise estimates of risk while defining the pathways important in individual patients, revealing new targets for intervention, and ultimately enabling an individualized approach to care. To translate recent advances in genomics and proteomics into clinical practice, these newly discovered biomarkers will need to be evaluated in patients of diverse ethnic groups with varying characteristics, environmental factors, and medication use. The investigators propose to establish a biorepository of plasma and Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) linked to demographic and clinical variables to facilitate biomarker studies of CHD risk, progression, and outcome. The overarching goal in developing the Qatar Cardiovascular Biorepository (QCBio) is to create a resource that fosters research aimed at identifying novel biochemical and genetic markers of CHD. A biorepository with linkage to clinical data will also provide an invaluable resource for cardiovascular research, including genomic and proteomic studies of CHD and development of biomarkers for early detection of disease and personalized drug therapy (pharmacogenetics and pharmacoproteomics).

With effective anti-retroviral therapy, non-communicable diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases, have become the major cause of morbidity and mortality for people living with HIV. There is only limited data evaluating the burden and risk factors of cardiovascular disease in the Asian HIV-infected population. Accurate non-invasive tools for prediction of cardiovascular disease, particularly in Asian HIV-infected populations, are urgently needed. Recently, more detailed evaluation of the complex retinal vasculature has been made feasible with advances in digitalized retinal imaging techniques. This study aims 1. to determine the prevalence of coronary atherosclerosis and obstructive coronary artery disease HIV-infected individuals with one or more cardiovascular disease risk factors in Asia. 2. to determine the performance of automatic retinal image analysis (ARIA) in predicting the risk of coronary artery disease in HIV-infected individuals, as compared to traditional risk prediction tools. Patients will undergo a coronary CT angiogram, followed by an automatic retinal image analysis within 4 weeks post completion of CT angiogram.

The ULYSSES study is a single-center, prospective study aimed at evaluation of myocardial ischemia using regadenoson low-dose dynamic computed tomography myocardial perfusion imaging (CTP) in patients diagnosed with intermediate coronary artery stenoses in referrence to the magnetic resonance myocardial perfusion imaging (MR MPI).

The GLOBAL LEADERS Adjudication Sub-StudY, GLASSY, is based on a re-assessment of all the events reported in the dataset of the parent trial (COMPARATIVE EFFECTIVENESS OF 1 MONTH OF TICAGRELOR PLUS ASPIRIN FOLLOWED BY TICAGRELOR MONOTHERAPY VERSUS A CURRENT-DAY INTENSIVE DUAL ANTIPLATELET THERAPY IN ALL-COMERS PATIENTS UNDERGOING PERCUTANEOUS CORONARY INTERVENTION WITH BIVALIRUDIN AND BIOMATRIX FAMILY DRUG-ELUTING STENT USE) by an independent Clinical Event Committee (CEC), composed of three physicians not involved in the main trial. The substudy include the first 19 top-enrolling sites of the GLOBAL LEADERS to reach the estimated sample size of 7,186 patients for the two co-primary outcomes of death, any non-fatal myocardial infarction, any non-fatal stroke or urgent target vessel revascularization and bleeding events classified as 3 or 5 according to the Bleeding Academic Research Consortium (BARC) criteria. To ensure a comprehensive assessment of clinical events, a triggers logic is adopted to identify other potential events qualifying for study endpoints but not reported as such by local investigators.
