NCT07186582
The Verona Coronary Physiology Interventional Registry (VR-CP) is an observational study that collects information on patients with suspected coronary artery disease who underwent coronary angiography with a functional assessment of coronary stenoses. These functional tests include fractional flow reserve (FFR) or angiography-derived FFR, which help physicians understand whether a narrowing in the coronary arteries is likely to reduce blood flow to the heart. The main goal of the study is to investigate whether the functional severity of coronary lesions is associated with future cardiovascular events, such as heart attack, the need for repeat procedures, or cardiovascular death. Additional objectives are to compare invasive FFR with angiography-derived FFR, to evaluate how these values relate to angina symptoms, and to analyze differences between patients treated conservatively with medications and those treated with coronary interventions. The study is retrospective and single-center, including approximately 1,000 patients who underwent coronary physiology testing between 2010 and 2024 at the University Hospital of Verona. Follow-up information is obtained through review of medical records, outpatient visits, or telephone contacts, and patients will be followed for up to 10 years. By combining detailed coronary physiology data with long-term clinical outcomes, this registry aims to improve understanding of which patients are at higher risk and to guide future strategies for the diagnosis and treatment of coronary artery disease.
NCT06216847
Coronary heart disease (CHD) stands as a foremost contributor to global mortality, characterized by complex pathogenesis that renders conventional "one-size-fits-all" preventive strategies inefficient. Therefore, the investigators designed a prospective, multi-center cohort study among patients hospitalized due to either confirmed or suspected CHD, which aimed to establish a holographic data set for the diagnosis and treatment of CHD and explore the impact of critical therapeutic strategies in the real world on the clinical outcomes of CHD patients, providing evidence to optimize the management pathway.

The program integrates pharmacological treatment, lifestyle modification, health education, and long-term follow-up, with enhanced monitoring using 7-day ECG recording. The study focuses on major chronic CVDs including hypertension, coronary artery disease, atrial fibrillation, and heart failure. Approximately 30,000 participants aged ≥60 years will be enrolled and followed for up to 10 years.
NCT07062432
This study evaluates the effectiveness of a continuous comprehensive nursing (CCN) system compared to routine care for patients after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. The primary goal is to determine if the CCN system improves postoperative hemoglobin levels. The study also investigates the effects on quality of life, mental health (anxiety and depression), red blood cell indices, immune markers, and patient satisfaction.

A Phase IIB Parallel group Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of MEDI6570 in Participants with a Prior Myocardial Infarction.
NCT06796582
Exercise training is a cornerstone in the prevention and rehabilitation of cardiovascular disease. While research has primarily focused on endurance training, resistance training becomes more and more important. The gold standard to prescribe resistance training intensity or monitor longitudinal changes is the 1-Repetition-Maximum (1-RM) test. However, particularly for unexperienced individuals, this test may not be recommendable due to the high load and an increased risk of injuries. Alternatively, there are several published formulas to estimate the 1-RM based on a multiple-repetition-maximum (or repetition-to-failure) test. However, these formulas have been primarily tested in healthy individuals. Moreover, the reliability of the 1-RM estimation based on two tests with different submaximal weight is unknown. Therefore, the present study evaluates the agreement of the 1-RM estimation (based on different formulas) between two Multiple-RM tests with different weight in 50 patients with cardiovascular disease (heart failure, coronary heart disease, atrial fibrillation) or cardiovascular risk factors (type 2 diabetes, arterial hypertension).
NCT05834673
The goal of this study is to understand and compare an alternative model of care in comparison to the usual model of care in include male and female participants ≥18 years of age with a history of ASCVD (hear and blood vessels diseases) or high-risk participants who have elevated bad cholesterol (LDL-C ≥1.8 mmol/L). The alternative model of care includes telephone support calls from a study nurse (after visits 1,2 and 4) and text messages to your mobile phone with healthy heart information. The main question it aims to answer is to understand and compare an alternative model of care in comparison to the usual model of care by evaluating the study participants bad cholesterol values after 180 and 365 days of the study. Each participant will take their medications as per usual care but may have the addition of Inclisiran, 284 mg 1.5 ml liquid in a single-use prefilled syringe for under skin administration. In accordance with the current medical practice guidelines for treating heart related conditions, Inclisiran and its product information will be made available for use in both care models. All the participants who decide to take part in this study will be requested to do the following: * Answer any questions from the study doctor or the study staff as accurately as possible when asked about changes in health status, medications, heart health, visits to other doctors or hospital admissions, planned surgery, even if they think none of these are related to the study. * Study doctor will be able to inform them of which medications you can and cannot take as part of this study. * To use mobile phone to receive text messages and/or questionnaires as proposed in the new model of care. * Advise the study doctor if they plan to move away from the geographical area where the study is being conducted during the study period. * Take the medications for cholesterol lowering treatment (such as a statin and/or ezetimibe) that are prescribed by the study doctor. * Tell the study doctor or study staff as soon as possible about suspected participant / participant partner pregnancy. * Tell the study doctor or study staff if they change their mind about taking part in the study. * Attend all the visits (screening visit, visits 1, 2, 3, 4 and visit 5). * Provide all the information that will enable the study team to contact them, i.e., inform the study staff if contact details change, provide contact details of a family member, etc.
NCT06728605
Enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) is a noninvasive, non-pharmacologic intervention proven to increase nitric oxide bioavailability in patients with coronary artery disease. Although EECP showed short-term effects in improving coronary flow in patients with coronary slow flow, whether such improvement is durable remains uncertain, and the relationships between such improvement and changes in multiple organ functions as well as inflammatory markers have not been elucidated. The purpose of this study will be to evaluate the potential clinical benefits of EECP on organ function and proinflammatory cytokine concentrations during post-acute sequela of cardiovascular surgery.

Coronary heart disease (CHD) poses a major health burden in the Gulf countries. It is the leading cause of mortality and morbidity in the world and poses an enormous societal burden in the Gulf countries. Early detection of disease is imperative to reduce the health care burden and financial costs associated with CHD. Knowledge of novel genetic and proteomic markers of CHD will provide more precise estimates of risk while defining the pathways important in individual patients, revealing new targets for intervention, and ultimately enabling an individualized approach to care. To translate recent advances in genomics and proteomics into clinical practice, these newly discovered biomarkers will need to be evaluated in patients of diverse ethnic groups with varying characteristics, environmental factors, and medication use. The investigators propose to establish a biorepository of plasma and Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) linked to demographic and clinical variables to facilitate biomarker studies of CHD risk, progression, and outcome. The overarching goal in developing the Qatar Cardiovascular Biorepository (QCBio) is to create a resource that fosters research aimed at identifying novel biochemical and genetic markers of CHD. A biorepository with linkage to clinical data will also provide an invaluable resource for cardiovascular research, including genomic and proteomic studies of CHD and development of biomarkers for early detection of disease and personalized drug therapy (pharmacogenetics and pharmacoproteomics).
