NCT01171404
The aim of this international study is to describe the short- and long-term (i.e. up to 2 years following the index event) antithrombotic management patterns (AMPs) in patients hospitalized for acute coronary syndromes (ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), Non-ST-Segment Elevation Acute Coronary Syndrome (NSTE-ACS)), and to document the impact of AMPs in clinical outcomes, economic variables and quality of life in a 'real-life' setting and to compare these between sites, countries and regions.
NCT00769678
This study examines whether a permanent stimulation of the diaphragm improves left ventricular function in patients with severe heart failure following heart surgery.
NCT00541541
In this study, the investigators sought to determine whether a stimulation of the phrenic nerve affects heart function. Heart function is assessed by acoustic cardiography.
NCT00827411
Our first hypothesis is that dose adjustment of aspirin and clopidogrel based on biological monitoring reduces the rate of severe cardiovascular complications compared to a conventional strategy in patients scheduled for drug eluting stent implantation and followed up for one year. Our second hypothesis is that interruption of clopidogrel / Prasugrel after one year of a combined therapy of clopidogrel/Prasugrel and aspirin is associated with a higher rate of severe cardiovascular complications as compared with patients in whom aspirin and clopidogrel / Prasugrel is maintained during the subsequent 6 months of follow-up.
NCT01812421
Patients with a diagnosis of ischemic stroke or TIA (ISTIA), who are treated at hospital are asked to participate in our pre specified hypertension health education protocol (HHEP) after discharge from our hospital.HHEP was used as secondary prevention treatments of stroke and cardiovascular diseases. HHEP consists of several items such as controlling the patient's hypertension level, monitoring the adherece of antihypertensive agents, reducing risk factors of hytertension like tobacco smoking, obesity, and motivating the patient to physical activity and to a healthy diet. Patients will receive visits by a study nurse with the aim of supervising, monitoring, and recording the adherence of HHEP. The patients will be classified as different adherence level at the end of the study according to their adherence condition. This study is aimed at testing the hypothesis that controlling hypertension and its risk factors was more effective than those do not receive HHEP in reducing the recurrence of stroke and cardiovascular diseases.
NCT00113672
The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of diet and exercise on an individual's health.
NCT01426139
The objective of this clinical investigation is to assess the safety and clinical performance of the Orsiro Limus Eluting Stent System in Indian subjects with single de-novo coronary artery lesions.
NCT00487929
The purpose of this study is to compare the levels of 8-isoprostane and other oxidative stress biomarkers in plasma and condensed exhaled air between patients with SAHS and cardiovascular complications, patients with SAHS without cardiovascular complications and control subjects. To evaluate the effect of three months of treatment with CPAP on the oxidative stress biomarkers.
NCT01819870
The purpose of this study is to compare the pharmacokinetic characteristics and safety of dilatrend SR capsule 32mg and Dilatrend tablet 25mg in healthy male subjects.
NCT01416792
Traditional cardiac surgery requires patient connection to the Cardiopulmonary Bypass (CPB) apparatus which takes over the function of the heart and lungs while the surgeon performs the necessary surgery. The residual blood left in the CPB equipment (1.5-2.0 L) is centrifuged and washed leaving only red blood cells (RBCs) suspended in a saline solution. The RBCs are reinfused into the patient as needed by the anesthesiologist. The main problem with this technique is that many of the important components of the blood such as plasma proteins and clotting factors are discarded through cell washing. This study will explore a novel method (multiple-pass hemofiltration) of processing the residual pump blood which will allow the patient to receive their own whole blood with minimum waste of important components. The newer method of processing the residual pump volume has also been termed off-line modified ultrafiltration (off-line MUF) and is similar to the process that the kidneys use to filter the blood. It is hypothesized that multiple-pass hemofiltration of the residual CPB volume will reduce the occurrence of inflammatory responses, preserve plasma proteins, and decrease allogenic blood exposure and improve clinical outcomes as compared to centrifugation.
NCT01531725
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate safety and efficacy of the BIOTRONIK PRO-Kinetic coronary CoCr-stent in patients with single de novo lesions of native coronary arteries.
NCT01430780
Basic studies has showed that sustained use of nitrates might associated with adverse effects on vascular function mediated by an increase in nitrate-induced oxidative stress. But it remains unclear whether oxidative stress increases with endothelial function impairment in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) during administration of long-term oral nitrates. The investigators evaluated whether administration of long-term isosorbide mononitrate (ISMN) treatment was associated with oxidative stress increase and endothelial function impairment in patients with CAD.
NCT01816399
The aim of this study is to determine whether a new vectorcardiogram (VCG) analysis will facilitate the detection of significant coronary disease (CAD) in patients with normal rest 12-leads ECG (NE).
NCT00047437
The purpose of this study is to determine the long-term safety and effectiveness of exercise training for individuals with congestive heart failure (CHF).
NCT00991835
Disruption of an atherosclerotic plaque is responsible for at least two-thirds of acute coronary syndrome. Thus, identification of plaques vulnerable to rupture has become important. The natural history of individual plaques is unknown and needs to be established. Multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) angiography is a useful noninvasive imaging modality for assessing coronary plaque characteristics. Using MDCT, the researchers prospectively investigate the relationship between the characterization of coronary plaques and cardiovascular events in a large multicenter study.
NCT00201110
The purpose of this study is to test a measurement tool and a new training intervention for problem solving in self-management of high cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in African Americans with type 2 diabetes.
NCT01813331
ALERT-HF is an observational study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic criteria adopted and the adherence to the current therapeutic guidelines in a large series of patients affected with chronic heart failure. Secondary objective is to evaluate the prevalence of chronic heart failure among all the patients referring to the ambulatory cardiologists of the healthcare district.
NCT01810224
This is prospective, randomized, multicenter, multinational, randomized (1:1) study. The aim of this study is to assess the importance of functional assessment of coronary artery disease prior to bypass surgery. In particular, an FFR-guided strategy will be compared to the traditional Angio-guided strategy in the guidance of surgical revascularization by aorto-coronary bypass grafting.
NCT01265524
The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of CLP on serum potassium and signs and symptoms of fluid overload in heart failure patients with chronic kidney disease.
NCT01440790
The objective of this study is to determine the effect of reducing the rate of glucose absorption on oxidative stress after eating and to compare it with the effects of vitamin C. The hypothesis is that reducing the rate of glucose absorption will reduce oxidative stress to a similar extent as 1g vitamin C.
