Active clinical trials for "Myocardial Ischemia"

To rescan 6,700 subjects in the MESA study to obtain computed tomography measures of calcification.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the changes of cardiorespiratory fitness and left ventricular function in type 2 diabetes after uncomplicated coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. We hypothesize that exercise capacity, left ventricular diastolic function, and biochemical data improves after 12-wk exercise training in patients with type 2 diabetes underwent CABG.

To assess the associations of serum sex hormones with the presence and progression of subclinical atherosclerosis.

To determine whether an impairment of myocardial perfusion reserve is an early indicator of coronary artery disease.

To measure associations of established and suspected coronary heart disease risk factors with both atherosclerosis and new coronary heart disease events in representative cohorts from four diverse United States communities. To compare the communities with respect to risk factors, medical care, atherosclerosis, and coronary heart disease incidence. ARIC has two components in each community: study of representative cohorts of adult men and women, and community surveillance of morbidity and mortality.

To determine the role of genetic factors in predicting resistance and susceptibility to coronary artery disease.

To field test the validity, reliability, cost, and cost-benefit of Health Risk Appraisal (HRA) instruments.

To determine the relative risk in a defined population of angiographically demonstrated coronary artery disease due to genetic polymorphisms at the four apolipoprotein genomic regions.

To develop and evaluate a nutrition education program to reduce cardiovascular disease risk in persons with low literacy skills.

To investigate the prevalence and prognostic value of subclinical atherosclerosis in the Pittsburgh SHEP cohort and a cohort of normal controls.
