DCB vs. DES in Bifurcation Coronary Lesions
This is an investigator-driven prospective, multicentric, international, randomized clinical study, in an open-label randomized fashion, where patients with bifurcation coronary artery disease (Medina: 111,101,011,001) in vessels with diameter \>2.0 (visual estimation) and with a clinical indication to PCI, will be enrolled. After successful predilatation (with any tool deemed useful), patients …
Impact of Disclosing Coronary Artery Disease Polygenic Risk Score on Cardiovascular Health
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether disclosure of a non-high polygenic risk score for coronary artery disease (CAD PRS) is non-inferior to standard of care in maintaining cardiovascular health over one year among adults aged 40-75 years without cardiovascular disease and not on statins.
Effects of Cangrelor on MIcRovAscular Disfunction During Elective Percutaneous CORonary Intervention
Dual Antiplatelet Therapy represents the main therapy for patients presenting with chronic coronary syndromes and undergoing elective PCI. However, most of these patients are not properly covered in terms of inhibition of platelets aggregation at the time of PCI, and are exposed to an higher risk of microvascular damage which …
Digital Monitoring for Patients Post Coronary Interventions to Reduce Risk for Recurrent Adverse Cardiovascular Events
The study aims to support patients immediately after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) by implementing a telemonitoring program. Eligible patients have coronary heart disease and undergo PCI. The intervention group receives remote monitoring and text-based follow-up, with established health goals and education on using the telemonitoring application, along with necessary devices. …
Optimal Stent Deployment Strategy of Contemporary Stents
The primary objective is to evaluate whether a standard pre- and postdilatation (PSP strategy) of the modern DES results in a more optimal stent implantation compared to DS as evaluated by OCT in patients with stable coronary artery disease. The secondary clinical objective is to evaluate clinical cardiovascular outcomes in …
An Evaluation of the Talk Test for Exercise Prescription for Home-Based Cardiac Rehabilitation
The objectives of this pilot RCT are to examine if the Talk Test is an effective and safe tool as compared with CPET for exercise prescription in patients who have undergone CABG or PCI and enrolled in a home-based CR program with virtual exercise training monitoring.
CABG Based on CT-FFR Versus Conventional Coronary Angiography
The aims of study are (1) to compare early and 1-year graft patency rates in patients who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) based on conventional coronary angiography(CAG) versus cardiac computed tomography(CT)-derived fractional flow reserve(FFR), and (2) to demonstrate difference in clinical outcomes between the 2 groups.
Efficacy of LoDoCo in Improving Exercise Capacity Among Patients With HFpEF and Inflammation
The purpose of this research study is to determine the effectiveness of low dose colchicine (LoDoCo) on measures of exercise capacity, physical function, frailty, and quality of life, among patients with heart failure with chronic stable preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and systemic inflammation. The use of LoDoCo in this study …
Effects of Low-dose Ticagrelor vs. Clopidogrel in Stable Patients Undergoing Elective Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
The proposed study aims to assess the antiplatelet effects of more potent oral P2Y12 inhibition with low-dose ticagrelor (60 mg bid) compared with standard of care clopidogrel in patients with a high ABCD-GENE score (≥10). We hypothesize that ticagrelor is associated with better pharmacodynamic effects (i.e., lower platelet reactivity and …
Feasibility of High-Intensity Interval Nordic Walking in Patients With Coronary Artery Disease
Coronary revascularization, such as heart bypass surgery (CABG) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI [inserting a stent to open up blood vessels]) improve survival for people with coronary artery disease. Yet, many patients suffer from poor physical and mental health after coronary revascularization. Traditional cardiac rehabilitation involving moderate-to-vigorous intensity continuous training …
