Active clinical trials for "Myocardial Ischemia"

Turner syndrome is a congenital complete or partial lack one of the female sex chromosomes affecting 1 of 2000 live born girls. The syndrome is characterized by an increased prevalence of ischemic heart disease, aortic dilation and dissection, hypertension, stroke and autoimmune diseases in general. Our study aim is: Using MRI to further characterize and find risk factors leading to aortic dilation. Using MRI to assess the degree of aortic distensibility. Using Computed tomography x-ray scanning of the heart and coronary arteries to characterize the prevalence and degree of ischemic heart disease and coronary anomalies. Using pressure sensitive ultrasound (applanation tonometry) to assess the degree of aortic stiffness when compared to controls using end points as Pulse Wave Velocity, Augmentation Index and Central Pulse Pressure.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate serial changes of neointimal coverage after everolimus-eluting stent implantation at 3-, 6- and 12-months by OCT examination.
