PET Imaging of Inflammation and Lipid Lowering Study
While 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) imaging has been used as an early marker of drug efficacy in numerous clinical cardiovascular drug trials, as a glucose analog, its signal in the vasculature lacks inflammatory cell-specificity. Moreover, high background 18F-FDG signals from the myocardium often preclude coronary artery imaging, despite …
IntraCranial Atherosclerosis Related Large-vessel Occlusion Treated With Urgent Stenting (ICARUS)
The goal of this international, multi-center, randomized clinical trial is to compare two treatment options, early intracranial stenting and continued stent-retriever or aspiration based endovascular treatment, for stroke patients with a large vessel occlusion, who experienced failure of recanalisation after initial treatment due to intracranial atherosclerosis.
Early Statin-Ezetimibe Combination vs. Statin Monotherapy in Stroke With Atherosclerosis
This study will be conducted at six medical institutions in Taiwan, recruiting patients who visit neurology outpatient clinics or are hospitalized within 30 days after an ischemic stroke. Participants will be randomly assigned to either the experimental group (moderate-intensity statin plus ezetimibe) or the control group (moderate- or high-intensity statin). …
Text Education About Cardiovascular Health and HIV (TEACH-HIV)
The overall objective is to evaluate the efficacy of educational text messages to reduce cardiovascular risk among persons living with HIV (PLWH).
Cholesterol and Inflammation Lowering Via Bempedoic Acid, an ACL-inhibiting Regimen in HIV Trial (CLEAR HIV Trial)
This is a randomized placebo-controlled study in treated and suppressed HIV-infected individuals aged ≥40 years with either known CVD or 1 CVD risk factor to study the effect of Bempedoic acid (BA) on safety, arterial inflammation as assessed by FDG-PET/CT, lipids, inflammation, immune activation, cardiometabolic indices, and non-calcified plaque (NCP) …
High-risk Coronary Atherosclerosis in Subjects With Family History of Myocardial Infarction
The evidence of high-risk atherosclerosis at cardiac CT (CCT) may support aggressive primary prevention treatment, reducing the risk of future cardiovascular events. Family history of coronary artery disease (CAD) is a risk factor for cardiovascular events but limited data described the prevalence of coronary atherosclerosis in these patients. Aims of …
Emergency Medicine Cardiovascular Risk Assessment for Lipid Disorders Trial
Emergency Medicine Cardiovascular Risk Assessment for Lipid Disorders (EMERALD) is a protocolized intervention based on American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association and US Preventive Services Task Force guidelines designed to initiate preventive cardiovascular care for emergency department patients being evaluated for acute coronary syndrome. The overarching goals of this proposal …
Polygenic Risk-based Detection of Subclinical Coronary Atherosclerosis and Change in Cardiovascular Health
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to assess the impact of disclosing a high polygenic risk result for coronary artery disease on change in cardiovascular health over one year.
Effects of Switching From Cigarettes to Tobacco Heating System on Coronary Atherosclerosis Progression
Objective To evaluate the impact of heated versus combustion tobacco products on progression of atherosclerosis in patients with CAD unable(unwilling) to quit smoking. Rationale Despite the efforts to curb smoking and full awareness of its deleterious health impact, smoking remains a significant contributor to morbidity and mortality. Some health impact …
Fractional Flow Reserve-guided Stenting Versus Medical Therapy in Atherosclerosis Renal Artery Stenosis
Although randomized trials have demonstrated there is no benefit of renal-artery stenting in addition to medical therapy for patients with atherosclerosis renal artery stenosis, many patients indeed gained benefit in daily practices after stenting, such as reduction in blood pressure and recovery in renal functions. One important gap is that …
