Active clinical trials for "Myocardial Ischemia"

Compared with conventional treatment of the coronary heart disease,the aim of the research is to find out if the addition of Yangxinshi pills on the basis of conventional treatment can improve exercise tolerance of patients with coronary heart disease, improve quality of life or restore social function and mental health

The prevalence of significant and complex obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) is high in patients who have low extremity artery disease (LEAD). Long-term prognosis of LEAD undergoing percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) remains poor and CAD is an independent predictor of total mortality after PTA. This prospective randomized controlled trial will evaluate the prognostic effects of routine versus selective coronary angiography before PTA for LEAD and elucidate the potential mechanism.

To evaluate The Safety and Efficacy of 'AVI' Stent Comparing with Firebird2® For Treating Coronary Revascularization.

Background: Cardiovascular diseases are the major health problem worldwide and the understanding of genetic contributions on the development of cardiovascular diseases is increasing significantly. The CD36 is a protein associated with uptake of oxidized forms of LDL and the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs1761667 A/G in the CD36 gene is correlated with increased consumption of total fat. The transcription factor STAT3 is released during the inflammatory acute phase response and the SNP rs8069645 G/A in the STAT3 gene is associated with abdominal obesity and higher intake of saturated fat. Studies have been shown the benefits of the Mediterranean diet in secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease and these dietary patterns have been often studied with nutrigenetic approach; these studies, however, are often limited to European populations, making it difficult to generalize to different populations. Hypothesis: Different dietary approaches may similarly influence in modifying metabolic, inflammatory and anthropometric profile, especially among patients with coronary arterial disease (CAD). The genetic interaction with environmental factors such as the nutrient intake, and the prescription of a different diet according to individual genotype, could influence the development and/or the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. Objective: To evaluate the effect of three dietary approaches on metabolic, inflammatory and anthropometric profile in patients with CAD and possible interactions with polymorphisms in CD36 and STAT3 genes.

The aim of the Danish Organization for Randomized Trials with Clinical Outcome (SORT OUT) is to compare the safety and efficacy of the polymer-free Biolimus-eluting BIOFREEDOM stent with a biodegradable-polymer Sirolimus-eluting ORSIRO stent in a population-based setting, using registry detection of clinically driven events

This study is a multi-center randomized trial to evaluate the Multi-vessel Coronary Artery Disease Option Grid patient decision aid compared to usual care in patient reported decisional conflict, knowledge, and shared decision making.

Phase I-II Clinical Trial-Safety and efficacy of umbilical cord derived mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSCs) in patients with chronic heart ischemia cohort and perspective study.

This registry is a clinical post-market evaluation of the Orsiro LESS in subjects requiring coronary revascularization with Drug Eluting Stents (DES).

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the CADence system, a non-invasive device, in detecting greater than or equal to 50% coronary stenosis anywhere in the coronary tree.

Patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) are often treated with dual antiplatelet therapy (DAT), including aspirin and clopidogrel, to prevent from recurrent atherothrombotic events. Levels of platelet reactivity in patients on DAT can be influenced by concomitant treatment with medications that inhibit the CYP3A4 system involved in the activation of clopidogrel. Atorvastatin and simvastatin are metabolized by CYP3A4 [Clin pharmacokinetic 2002; 41: 343-70], whereas the cytochrome P450 mediated metabolism of rosuvastatin appears to be minimal and principally mediated by the 2C9 isoenzyme, with little involvement of CYP3A4 [Clin Ther 2003; 25: 2822-5.]. Previous studies comparing atorvastatin versus rosuvastatin by means of ex vivo platelet function tests have yielded conflicting results.
