Evaluation of the Benefit of Exercise Testing for the Diagnosis of Obstruction in the Coronary Arteries of the Heart
The purpose of this study is to determine whether exercise testing can detect an obstruction in a coronary artery, and, thereby, can avoid performing a coronary imaging in some cases. Patients with a suspicion of coronary artery disease perform an exercise test on an exercise bike with increasing load. EKG, …
Physiological Assessment of Severe Coronary Stenosis for Informing Planned PCI
Traditionally, the severity of a blockage (stenosis) in a coronary artery has been determined by visual angiographic assessment of the diameter of the artery at the level of a blockage compared to a normal healthy area of the same artery. With the advent of invasive physiological testing to assess coronary …
Resting Full-cycle Ratio in Side Branch
The goal of this observational study is to evaluate diagnostic performance of resting full-cycle rate (RFR) in side branch lesion. We aims to evaluate whether the diagnostic performance of RFR in the side branch lesion is non-inferior compared to that in the main vessel lesion RFR and FFR measurements will …
A Precision Medicine Approach to Identify Patients Undergoing Elective PCI at Risk of Peri-PCI Myocardial Infarction
Despite the relative safety of PCI with new generation stents, peri-PCI thrombotic complications, including myocardial infarction and myocardial injury, are common in elective PCI, occurring in up to 30% of patients. Importantly, these events are associated with poor prognosis. The risk of peri-PCI myocardial infarction/myocardial injury has been in part …
Risk Evaluation by COronary CTA and Artificial intelliGence Based fuNctIonal analyZing tEchniques - I
This study is a multicenter, retrospective imaging study. The study intends to retrospectively enroll patients with acute myocardial infarction who had received coronary CTA in a certain time-window before this event. All coronary CTA will be analyzed by anatomic, functional and radiomic analysis, assisted by artificial intelligence. The purpose of …
The COMPLETE Study
The COMPLETE study is a single-centre, investigator-initiated study of patients with an indication for invasive coronary angiography with CCTA performed during the diagnostic evaluation. After identifying the presence of a coronary stenosis, defined as an epicardial lesion >50% stenosis on CCTA, patients eligible for the study will be invited to …
The Effect of SGLT-2 Inhibitors on Epicardial Adipose Tissue and Cardiac Function in T2DM Patients With CAD (EpiCAD)
Sodium-glucose contrasporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors make up an antidiabetic medication that promotes glycosuria. They are known to have an indirect reduction in cardiovascular complications, based on a series of in-depth studies. However, the effect of SGLT-2 inhibitors towards the thickness of epicardial adipose tissue and cardiac function in type 2 diabetes …
CMR Versus CT in Coronary Artery Disease
CONCORD is a prospective observational study evaluating the diagnostic accuracy of cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) and computed tomography with fractional flow reserve (CT-FFR) in patients with suspected coronary artery disease, using invasive fractional flow reserve (FFR) as the reference standard.
MAIN-IMAGE Registry
All comers registry with patients with chronic coronary syndrome or acute coronary syndrome who underwent intracoronary imaging during cardiac catherization. The aim is to identify plaque characteristics on OCT or IVUS that are associated with adverse cardiac events including myocardial infarction and atherosclerotic progression.
Vascular Senescence and Atherosclerotic Plaque Vulnerability
Chronological aging significantly contributes to structural and functional alterations in the vasculature, making it a major risk factor for atherosclerotic disease and its acute thrombotic events. DNA damage, including telomeric, non-telomeric, and mitochondrial damage, is recognized as a key initiator of vascular aging and atherogenesis. There is abundant evidence indicating …
