Active clinical trials for "Ischemia"

What research question is being addressed? Can improve the prediction of adverse outcomes be improved for people following a stroke to optimise their treatment and care? How is it of relevance and importance to patients and public? Following a stroke, people are at a higher risk of developing certain conditions including heart failure, another stroke and atrial fibrillation, a type of irregular heart rhythm. In the proposed study, the investigators will look at factors which may increase a person's risk of such conditions following stroke. From this, the investigators will determine if risk scores for these conditions can be improved for people post-stroke. This could help doctors decide what treatments are best. Who would be eligible? All adults at participating hospitals who have had an ischaemic stroke (where the stroke is caused by loss of blood flow to the brain) or a transient ischaemic attack ('mini-stroke') confirmed by a stroke doctor. All patients will be asked to take part in the study, or their family members may be asked to provide advice on their behalf if the patient is unable to. Where is the study being conducted? At participating hospitals in England and Wales. What will the participants undergo? At the time of stroke, patients have a lot of information collected about their health, the investigators will copy information from patient's medical records about their health after they agree to take part in the study. Patients or their family members will also be asked to complete some additional brief questionnaires about their quality of life, wellbeing and fatigue. Some questionnaires such as for cognitive function are already collected for patients following a stroke, but where this information has not been collected, it will be collected for the study. The investigators will ask the patients if they can be contacted in 12-months to repeat the questionnaires and information collected about their health.

This is a single-center prospective cohort study of predictive factors related to prognosis of ischemic stroke due to large-artery atherosclerosis. From March 1, 2021 to December 31, 2026, 1000 patients with ischemic stroke due to large-artery atherosclerosis who are admitted to the Department of Neurology or Neurosurgery, Tongji Hospital are going to be recruited. Detailed clinical data in emergency room and in-hospital will be obtained from the medical record reviews, and the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) and Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score will be done by certified neurologists to assess the severity of the disease in acute stage and treatment outcome during the follow-up. All cases will undergo routine blood tests, brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and cerebral vascular examination, such as TCD, CTA, HRMR or DSA. The investigators will analyze the in-hospital factors that could predict the outcome to provide more evidence-based suggestions in the treatment and prognosis of atherosclerotic ischemic cerebrovascular disease.

This research is based on clinic treatment of intravenous thrombolysis for patients with acute ischemic stroke.By building up a database of these patients, the investigators aim to find some significance between groups by analyzing population information, clinical status and such for better evaluation and optimal treatment decision.

This research is a Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter clinical study. Chinese subjects with Ischemic Stroke.

The primary aim is to perform the largest study worldwide to evaluate novel biochemical and electrocardiographic signatures alone as well as in combination with the standard 12-lead exercise ECG in the detection of exercise-induced myocardial ischemia (diagnostic endpoint). The secondary aim is to evaluate these innovative tools in the risk prediction for the occurrence of cardiovascular death and acute myocardial infarction during long-term follow-up.

This is a research study evaluating possible causes of chest pain (or an anginal equivalent, such as fatigue resulting in a decrease in exercise tolerance, shortness of breath, or back, shoulder, neck, or jaw pain) in people with no evidence of significant coronary artery disease on their coronary angiogram (pictures of the blood vessels in the heart). The purpose of the research study is to determine if there is diffuse atherosclerosis (plaque) not appreciated by angiography, or if the coronary endothelium (lining of the blood vessels in the heart) and/or microcirculation (small vessels in the heart that are not easily seen with an angiogram) are not functioning properly in those who have chest pain (or an anginal equivalent), but normal coronary arteries on angiography. Specifically, we are interested if these findings are more common in women than men.

This observational study aims to research whether there is a relationship between omentin and ischemic stroke on the aspects of incidence, severity, and recovery etc.

Peripheral Arterial Occlusive Disease is associated with a high risk of cardiovascular events. The critical ischemia stage represents the most severe stage of Peripheral Arterial Occlusive Disease, associated with decubitus pain and / or foot ulceration. The severity of this arterial involvement involves functional prognosis of the lower limb with a high risk of amputation, and the vital prognosis of the patient. In these patients, the rate of amputation and mortality at 1 year can reach 20%. Therefore, the goal of management in a multidisciplinary setting is limb salvage and improvement of the patient's vital prognosis. In the vascular medicine department, the indication and modalities of the revascularization procedure are discussed in a multidisciplinary consultation meeting. Surgical revascularization by distal bypass requires venous material that can be used, a receiving artery without diffuse lesions, in direct continuity with the arterial network of the foot, and the absence of co-morbidities against general anesthesia. With the modernization and development of endovascular equipment dedicated to the hamstrings, the interventional radiology techniques in the management of critical ischemia allow the treatment of one or more arterial axes as well as a very distal revascularization in the arteries. of the foot with less morbidity-mortality compared to surgery, especially in patients the most fragile patients. Since 2013, the endovascular revascularization procedures performed by the interventional radiology team have been an integral part of the management of patients with peripheral arterial disease of the lower limbs monitored in the vascular medicine department. The hospital is therefore a privileged place to observe the long-term impact of this medical care on the future of patients with different stages of severity of arterial disease. The objective of this prospective study is to assess the vital prognosis, limb salvage and associated prognostic factors in patients with critical ischemia supported by endovascular revascularization in the vascular medicine service of the GHPSJ. The objective of this cohort study is to build a database on critical ischemia in hospitalized patients, to judge the management, monitoring and prognosis of patients.

This study is aimed to establish reference intervals of NOAC (dabigatran, apixaban and rivaroxaban) in ethnic Chinese patients.

AISRNA is to analyze the expression pattern of circular RNA (circRNA), micro-RNA (miRNA) and long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) by next-generation sequencing in patients with acute ischemic stroke and healthy control. The candidate circRNA/miRNA/lncRNA will be verified as biomarkers for the detection and prognosis of acute ischemic stroke.
