Home Blood Pressure Variability and Its Link to Arteriosclerosis and Metabolic Dysfunction in Hypertensive Patients
This observational study investigates the correlation between home blood pressure variability (BPV) and arteriosclerosis, alongside metabolic indicators, in hypertensive patients over a three-year period. The research specifically focuses on the predictive value of home BPV for major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) including myocardial infarction, stroke, and heart failure hospitalizations. Utilizing …
Myocardial Ischemia Without Obstructive Coronary Stenoses
Coronary-related myocardial ischemia can result from obstructive epicardial stenosis or non-obstructive causes including coronary microcirculatory dysfunction and vasomotor disorders. This prospective study has been created in order to provide knowledge in the field of non-obstructive coronary artery disease.
Multi-contrast Versus Multi-sequence Carotid MRI
The objective of this study is to validate 2 multi-contrast sequences, namely the Multi-contrast ATherosclerosis Characterization (MATCH) and Bright-blood and black-blOOd phase SensiTive (BOOST) inversion recovery sequence for the quantification of atherosclerotic plaque components with conventional multi-sequence MRI and histology.
T-Mem GEne in Atherosclerosis
Atherosclerosis is the main cause of cardiovascular diseases and is characterized by the progressive accumulation of lipids and inflammatory cells such as macrophages and lymphocytes within the vessel wall of large and medium-sized arteries, forming the so-called "atherosclerotic plaques". The formation process of these lesions is different depending on the …
PET Imaging of Fibroblast Activation in Atherosclerosis
Fibroblast activation protein (FAP) is a fibroblast-specific marker expressed in atherosclerosis, associated with endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition and a rupture-prone plaque phenotype. This study aims to evaluate in-vivo fibroblast activation in carotid and coronary atherosclerotic diseases with FAPI PET and its correlation with histological vulnerability and clinical outcome.
Comprehensive Assessment of Morphometric, Functional, Biomechanical and Biological Interactions Between Atherosclerotic Plaque and Platelets Within the Stenosed Coronary Artery
The main objective of the present study is to verify, in vivo, whether shear forces computed solely based on coronary angiography and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) techniques are associated with the biomarkers indicating the prothrombotic tendency of circulating blood in situ - distally and proximally to the coronary stenosis. The …
Clinical Research Protocol of Ferumoxytol for Magnetic Resonance Enhancement Imaging in Patients With Atherosclerosis.
We are preparing to initiate a clinical trial involving Ferumoxytol for magnetic resonance-enhanced imaging in patients with atherosclerosis. The aim of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of Ferumoxytol for magnetic resonance angiography in patients with atherosclerosis.
Assessment of Lipoprotein(a) and Endogenous Fibrinolysis in Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease/Aortic Valve Disease
Prior studies have shown that impaired endogenous fibrinolysis is a novel, independent cardiovascular risk factor in patients with myocardial infarction and there is currently no known chronic treatment to enhance endogenous fibrinolysis. To date, no therapies have been able to sufficiently reduce Lp(a) and therefore it was considered to be …
Machine Learning for Handheld Vascular Studies
The use of handheld arterial 'stethoscopes' (continuous wave Doppler devices) are ubiquitous in clinical practice. However, most users have received no formal training in their use or the interpretation of the returned data. This leads to delays in diagnosis and errors in diagnosis. The investigators intend to create a novel …
Inclisiran (Leqvio®) in Patients With Atherosclerotic Vascular Disease and/or Heterozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia Treated in Spain: the INSPIRE Study
This study aims to address several key questions regarding the use of inclisiran in real-world clinical practice in Spain.
