Aggressive Smoking Cessation Trial (ASAP)
The ASAP Trial is a 5-year, multi-centre, randomized controlled trial that will assess the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of aggressive smoking cessation therapy among people at elevated cardiovascular risk. It will recruit 798 adult patients smoking on average at least 10 conventional (tobacco) cigarettes per day who are motivated to …
Low Dose Rosuvastatin Plus Ezetimibe Versus High-dose Rosuvastatin in AMI
Combination therapy of rosuvastatin 5mg and ezetimibe 10 mg showed similar achievement rate in decreasing LDL cholesterol level by 50% as single use of rosuvastatin 20 mg. This trial aims to prove non-inferiority of concomitant usage of low dose rosuvastatin and ezetimibe among patients with acute myocardial infarction who went …
OCT Versus Angiography for Culprit Lesion Revascularization in Acute Myocardial Infarction PatiEnts
The aim of the study is to compare clinical outcomes between optical coherence tomography-guided versus angiography-guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI).
Mean Arterial Pressure After Out-of-hospital Cardiac Arrest
Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest is a public health problem for which overall survival is below 10%. Post-cardiac arrest syndrome is the principal cause of death in intensive care units (ICU), due to refractory shock or brain injuries secondary to anoxia. Brain anoxia is responsible for severe neurological sequelae that may be …
Characterization and Support for Neurodevelopmental Disorders Associated with Congenital Heart Defects
The leading cause of birth defects, Congenital Heart Defects (CHD) affect 12 million people worldwide and 41,000 newborns/year in Europe. It's a major cause of life-long morbidity and mortality, and a crucial public health issue. More than 50% of childs born with critical CHD will develop Neurodevelopmental Disorders (NDs), requiring …
Prevention Of Sudden Cardiac Death After Myocardial Infarction by Defibrillator Implantation
Patients who have survived a myocardial infarction (MI) are at increased risk for sudden cardiac death (SCD) caused by ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation. A severely reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) as a rough overall measure of impaired heart function after MI was shown to indicate a higher risk …
Conventional vs. Distal Radial Access Outcomes in STEMI Patients Treated by PCI
This clinical trial aims to compare conventional radial access versus distal radial access in patients with STEMI undergoing PCI. The main question it aims to answer is: • Mayor adverse cardiac events (MACE) at 30 days in STEMI patients treated by PCI are not inferior when comparing the distal radial …
The Effect of Prehospital Combination of Epinephrine, Vasopressin, and Steroid in OHCA
This project is a randomized controlled clinical research design, The hypothesis P-I-C-O of the study is: For adult patients in the Taipei City and New Taipei City communities who have suffered sudden non-traumatic death and have been resuscitated by advanced paramedics, the intervention group that receives combined drug treatment (epinephrine, …
Multifactorial Intervention to Reduce Cardiovascular Disease in Type 1 Diabetes
A prospective, randomised, open-labelled, multi-center study. The aim of the Steno 1 study is to test multifactorial intervention in individuals with type 1 diabetes at high risk of CVD with ambitious treatment targets. We will include 2000 participants. Follow-up is 5 years.
Compression Only CPR Versus Standard CPR in Out-Of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest - A Randomized Survival Study
Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is one of the leading causes of mortality in the industrialized world. Bystander CPR before arrival of the Emergency Medical Service (EMS) is associated with an increased chance of survival. During the last decade, the best form of bystander CPR has been debated. Chest Compression Only …
