Appropriateness of Coronary Angioplasty in PAtients With isCHEmic Heart Disease
Non ST Elevation Acute Coronary SyndromesStable Coronary Syndromes2 moreAn observational, retrospective, multicenter, blinded adjudication study to evaluate the clinical appropriateness of Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) indication and execution in patients with stable Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) and in patients with acute coronary syndrome without ST-segment elevation (NSTE-ACS) (ratio 4:1). Half of the included patients will be diabetic. Also the implementation of selected, key guideline recommendations will be examined. At least 400 patients will be retrospectively selected among 22 Catheterization Laboratories in Italy in the region of Lombardia and Veneto. This study will be conducted in compliance with Good Clinical Practices (GCP) including the Declaration of Helsinki and all applicable regulatory requirements.
Effect of Antithrombotic Treatment in Patients With Both Coronary Heart Disease and Atrial Fibrillation...
Atrial FibrillationCoronary Heart DiseaseThe optimal antithrombotic treatment for Coronary Heart disease (CHD) patients combined with Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is unresolved at present. Although the European and American guidelines have given a hand for us, there is absence of real-world data on the safety and efficacy of antithrombotic therapy in Asian populations. Only a few clinical trials are available to guide difficult decision on antithrombotic therapy in patients with combined AF and CHD,the investigators highlight the need for the rapid development of clinical trials to close the large gaps in evidence. This research aims to know the real-world use of antithrombotic treatment and clinical prognosis in Coronary Heart Disease patients complicated with Atrial Fibrillation.

Coronary Artery DiseaseTo compare hs-TnT levels after a cardiac stress test in patients with vs. patients without CAD To assess the level of post-exercise hs-TnT predicting CAD (using ROC-analysis) To determine the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of this exercise-induced hsTopT level in predicting CAD, either alone or in relation to traditional patient-related and exercise test-related metrics
Clinical Performance of Nano Plus Sirolimus-Eluting Stents in Patients With Coronary Artery Disease...
Coronary Artery DiseaseThe study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of polymer-free sirolimus-eluting coronary stent system (NANO plus) in patients with coronary artery disease . The primary endpoint is target lesion failure, a composite endpoint of cardiac death, target vessel related myocardial infarction and clinically-driven target lesion revascularization at 1 year follow-up.
