Active clinical trials for "Myocardial Ischemia"

Physicians tend to always use the lowest dose of statins to initiate therapy even in subjects who require large reductions in cholesterol. The study evaluates if selecting the starting dose based on baseline and target LDL-C cholesterol would provide better results (ie proportion of subjects resching target)

The 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).

Several 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.

Maximal 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.

The 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.

The 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.

The 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.

The purpose of the study was to evaluate procedural and late outcome of coronary artery stenting using 2 different unmounted stents

The 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.

Blood 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.
