The Positive Prognostic Value of Stress Echocardiography - AMPHIPOLIS STUDY
This is a prospective, multicenter, observational study of patients with recent stress echocardiography positive for myocardial ischemia. Up to now 25 echocardiography labs form Greece and Cyprus have declared their intention to participate. The investigators will enroll 390 patients with a positive stress echo, who will undergo invasive coronary angiogram …
Lipoprotein (a) and Vascular Regenerative Cell Content
Lp(a)-VRCE is an observational, cross sectional study looking at vessel reparative stem cell content in people with and without elevated lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)]. Specifically, the type and number of these cells in peripheral blood samples will be measured in participants with Lp(a) ≥100 nmol/L and compared to participants with Lp(a) …
Evaluation of Tissue Perfusion in Peripheral Arterial Disease (EVTI-PAD)
In this prospective single-center observational study, arterial perfusion in patients with lower limb peripheral arterial disease will be assessed with standard diagnostic tools (toe pressure, trans-cutaneous oxygen pressure, ankle-brachial index and fluorescence angiography) before and after standard revascularization procedures (open surgery and/or angioplasty).
Pressure (Fractional Flow Reserve) and Flow (Vascular Flow Reserve) Measurements During Peripheral Arterial Interventions
Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR) and Coronary Flow Reserve (CFR) have been originally developed for physiological assessment of coronary artery disease and may hold potential in the management of Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) as well. By adapting pressure and flow measurements for the peripheral arteries, clinicians could objectively evaluate stenosis severity, …
Urinary Uromodulin, Dietary Sodium Intake and Ambulatory Blood Pressure in Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease
In chronic kidney disease (CKD), hypertension is characterized by the phenomenon of sodium-sensitivity, i.e., the disproportionate increase in blood pressure (BP) due to an increase in dietary sodium consumption to maintain homeostasis through urinary sodium excretion. Impaired renal circulation, blunt suppression of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, sympathetic nervous system overactivity, paradoxically reduced …
The Frequency of Peripheral Arterial Disease in Patients with Deep Vein Thrombosis of the Lower Limbs
The aim of the study is to assess the frequency of Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) and cardiovascular risk factors in patients with unprovoked Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) of the lower limbs, comparing them with patients who have provoked DVT or cancer-related DVT. Additionally, the study aims to examine the association …
Optical Coherence Tomography And NEphropathy: The OCTANE Study
Patients with high blood pressure (hypertension) and chronic kidney disease are at an increased risk of developing heart disease and strokes. Part of this risk is due to changes in the structure and function of the blood vessels throughout the body. It is thought that reducing high blood pressure and …
Environmental Pollutants and Neurological Disorders
Environmental pollutants have emerged as a major global health concern, with growing evidence linking exposure to both traditional contaminants such as heavy metals (lead, mercury, cadmium, arsenic) and novel pollutants-including micro- and nanoplastics, perand polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), antibiotics, and endocrine-disrupting chemicals-to adverse neurological outcomes. These pollutants can cross or disrupt …
Peripheral Extreme Revascularization in "No-option" Patiens With Chronic Limb Threatening Ischemia
The objective of the study is to evaluate early safety and effectiveness of the percutaneous deep foot venous arterialization performed in clinical practice, in an unselected population of patients with "no-option" CLTI.
Cognitive Impairment and Cerebral Haemodynamics in Individuals With Symptomatic Peripheral Arterial Disease
Background Arterial disease of the legs causes symptoms such as pain when walking and may ultimately lead to a leg amputation. Many older people with arterial disease of the legs also have problems with their thinking and memory. Blood flow in the brain may be altered in these people and …
