Active clinical trials for "Myocardial Ischemia"

ECG is one of the most important non-invasive method to diagnose CAD and arrhythmia. However, clinically it still has its limitation. Because the electrical field could induce a magnetic field, the newly developed non-contact technique, magnetocardiography, was established to detect the local magnetic field component of the heart. It is safe and more convenient. In this study, we try to define and validate the magnetocardiographic patterns in the patients with cardiac arrhythmias or ischemia.

Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) with standard doses of aspirin and clopidogrel has long been the cornerstone in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). However, inhibition of platelet activation and aggregation after DAPT varies greatly among patients. Some clinical studies have demonstrated that patients with high on-treatment platelet reactivity are at increased risk of major adverse cardiovascular events. Tailored antiplatelet therapy seems offer an opportunity to improve outcomes after coronary stenting by drug adjustment based on platelet function testing. Unfortunately, the results of 3 major prospective trials (GRAVITAS, ARCTIC, TRIGGER PCI) of personalized antiplatelet therapy are neutral. In these studies, platelet function was only assessed by a single measurement and a single method early after the start of antiplatelet treatment. To test the stability of platelet reactivity measurements over time among patients undergoing PCI, investigators use 3 methods (VerifyNow P2Y12 assay, Flow cytometric assessment of the phosphorylation status of VASP, light transmittance aggregometry) for platelet function testing in 2 periods (~14days), with maintenance doses of clopidogrel.

The cases were hospitalized patients from two medical centers in Beijing and Harbin respectively. Venous blood was collected by standard vein puncture in fasting condition.

Integrated and cross-disciplinary analysis of human physiology and disease provides unbiased and deeply informative insights into human health and disease. In this study the investigators will recruit patients undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery to study the atrium of the heart or the aortic wall that when diseased can cause strokes. Hypothesis: Systems-level analysis of the left atrium and aorta cells that integrates imaging, histological, cellular and molecular data will identify new mechanism for cardiovascular form and function.

To evaluate the contribution of the assessment of endothelial dysfunction (ED) in improving coronary hearth disease (CHD) risk stratification obtained by the Framingham risk score (FRS) in rheumatoid arthritis population (RA).

This study evaluates cardiac biomarkers and their association to coronary artery disease in marathon runners.

This is a prospective cohort blinded study with the aim to investigate the prevalence and clinical impact of coronary microcirculatory dysfunction (CMD) in patients with ischemic heart disease, and its association with cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) and depressive disorders. In addition, CMD and CSVD linkage to systemic inflammation and endothelial function will also be investigated.

correlation between EFT volume measured by Cardiac MRI and the angiographic severity of coronary artery disease (Syntax Score) in diabetic vs non diabetic CAD population and detect if there is a cut off value for each group that could predict higher risk.

Complete arterial coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is a surgical option to improve long-term results in the treatment of coronary artery disease (CAD). The goal of coronary artery bypass operations is complete revascularization and there is an increasing interest toward complete arterial revascularization to achieve this goal because of high late failure of saphenous vein graft

This study research the similarity of coronary artery lesions according to HLA tissue compatibility in fisrt degree relatives of the patients who just admitted clinic as Acute coronary syndrome and underwent angiyography before .
