NCT01632501
The freedom of choice in medicine is based on the physician's ability to treat their patients with the best available therapy. The armamentarium for percutaneous intervention is frequently determined on the basis of subjective criteria and the experience of the interventional cardiologist. The evaluation of devices used in coronary intervention, especially angiography and its clinical outcomes, has rarely been investigated; the exceptions are studies on stents. Therefore, the freedom of choice for the interventional cardiologist has been challenged, especially because of cost restrictions. This way this study aims to assess the safety and efficacy of a device of a single brand in performing percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (guide catheters, guidewires, balloons, and stents) in selected patients.
NCT01425164
In hemodialysed patients, coronary heart disease is the leading cause of mortality and morbidity. Most of the commonly used drug for ischemia are used in this patients, but few prospective data are available. Among anti-ischemic drugs betablocker provided evidence of beneficial effects on outcome and, in dialysis patients, carvedilol was successfully used also in heart failure. Ivabradine is the latest anti-ischemic drug that provided evidence of benefit in general population, but no study is available in dialysis patients. Aim of the present study is to compare in a randomized, double-blind, parallel group trial the effects of ivabradine compared with carvedilol on event-free survival at 18 months in a hemodialysed population of patients with established coronary heart disease.
NCT01061398
In patients with chest pain or shortness of breath who are referred for stress imaging tests (either stress echocardiography or stress nuclear testing), the investigators seek to compare impact of using cardiac CT scans of the heart arteries to the stress test that their doctors ordered.
