Cardioverter DefIbriIlator PlacEMent for priMary Prevention of Sudden cArdiac Death in Patients Older Than 75 Years
The primary objective of DILEMMA study is to assess whether the "heart failure optimal therapy alone (HFOT)" strategy is non inferior to the "HFOT+ICD" strategy in terms of overall survival 48 months after randomization, in patients ≥ 75 years with an ICD indication for primary prevention of SCD whether there …
Efficacy, Safety, and Pharmacokinetics of Vericiguat in Pediatric Participants With Heart Failure Due to Left Ventricular Systolic Dysfunction (MK-1242-036)
This study aims to compare the efficacy of vericiguat versus placebo on change in n-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NTproBNP) from baseline to Week 16 of the Base Period. The primary hypothesis is that vericiguat is superior to placebo in reducing NT-proBNP at Week 16 of the Base Period.
Further Lipid-Lowering With PCSK9 Inhibitors for Cardiovascular Outcomes in High-Risk Coronary Plaques Assessed by CT Angiography
The primary objective was to evaluate the effect of PCSK9 inhibitors in addition to the background lipid-modifying therapy (LMT), compared with placebo plus background LMT in terms of clinical outcomes in patients with coronary CT angiography (CCTA)-detected high-risk plaques.
AMEND-CRT: Mechanical Dyssynchrony as Selection Criterion for CRT
Previous experience with cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) candidates suggests that selection of these patients can be improved. Current clinical guideline approaches are mainly too unspecific and lead to a high non-responder rate of 30-40%, which causes a burden on health care systems and puts patients at risk of an unnecessary …
Algorithm-based Tailoring of Dual Antiplatelet Therapy to Improve Outcomes Following Percutaneous Coronary Interventions
The use of aspirin combined with a P2Y12 inhibitor (dual antiplatelet therapy, DAPT) represents the standard of care for patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with stent implantation. The TAILOR-DAPT trial aims to investigate the benefits of a score-based decision-making algorithm to guide DAPT duration compared to a standard-of-care DAPT …
A Study of Population and Sex-specific Troponin Cutoffs for Ruling Out Acute Myocardial Infarction
Acute myocardial infarction (MI) is defined as a rise and/or fall in cardiac troponins (cTn) with at least one value above the 99th percentile upper reference limit (URL) in the context of symptoms or clinical evidence of myocardial ischemia. The URL is based on measurements in a healthy reference population. …
A Study of Milvexian in Participants After a Recent Acute Coronary Syndrome
The purpose of this study is to evaluate that milvexian is superior to placebo, in addition to standard-of-care, in reducing the risk of major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE) (the composite of cardiovascular [CV] death, myocardial infarction [MI], and ischemic stroke).
Effect of Dalcetrapib on CV Risk in a Genetically Defined Population With a Recent ACS
This is a placebo-controlled, randomized, double-blind, parallel group, phase 3 multicenter study in subjects recently hospitalized for ACS and with the appropriate genetic profile. Subjects will provide informed consent before any study-specific procedures are performed. A separate informed consent will be allowed for an initial pre-screening genetic testing. Subjects meeting …
A Study of Low and Standard-dose Ticagrelor After Intervention for ACS Patients
This study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of 60mg ticagrelor plus 100mg Aspirin to prevent major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events in one years after drug-eluting stents implantation for Chinese ACS patients compared with 90mg ticagrelor plus 100mg Aspirin
"MetCool ACS"- Metformin "Cooling" Effect on Metformin-naive Patients Treated With PCI Because of Acute Coronary Syndrome
The aim of the study is the evaluation of the effect of metformin among the patients without diabetes, on the incidence of reintervention, unplanned revascularization, after full percutaneous coronary revascularization as a result of the first episode of the acute coronary syndrome (ACS).
