Liquid Biopsy System Intracoronary Blood Sampling and Analysis to Characterise Disease Biomarkers in Patients With Coronary Disease
The aim of this research, proposed and funded by PlaqueTec and co-ordinated by Papworth Trials Unit Collaboration, is to demonstrate the performance of the coronary artery blood sampling device (Liquid Biospy System, LBS) and establish its usefulness to collect a range of disease biomolecules from the coronary artery of interest. …
MAIN-IMAGE Registry
All comers registry with patients with chronic coronary syndrome or acute coronary syndrome who underwent intracoronary imaging during cardiac catherization. The aim is to identify plaque characteristics on OCT or IVUS that are associated with adverse cardiac events including myocardial infarction and atherosclerotic progression.
Vascular Senescence and Atherosclerotic Plaque Vulnerability
Chronological aging significantly contributes to structural and functional alterations in the vasculature, making it a major risk factor for atherosclerotic disease and its acute thrombotic events. DNA damage, including telomeric, non-telomeric, and mitochondrial damage, is recognized as a key initiator of vascular aging and atherogenesis. There is abundant evidence indicating …
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 …
Latvian Early Atherosclerosis Registry
Atherosclerosis and its complications are a global problem. There are several widely known and proven risk factors that promotes atherogenesis in the majority of patients. However, significant proportion of apparently healthy and young patients with cardiovascular disease but yet without recognized atherogenesis promoting risk factors can be observed in clinical …
Etomidate Versus Propofol in CABG Surgery
The objective of this single-blinded randomized controlled interventional clinical trial is to learn about the efficacy and long-term safety of etomidate compared to propofol as an anesthesia induction agent in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. The primary aim of this study is to determine whether patients receiving …
Bright Light Exposure in Surgical Patients
Elucidate the influence of intense light therapy pretreatment in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. We hypothesize that intense light exposure is associated with the peripheral stabilization of Per2 in human buccal swabs and plasma samples before surgery and with a decrease of Troponin I levels after surgery. In addition, we hypothesize …
Warfarin Patient Self-management Implementation in the US Healthcare System
In the US, patients receiving warfarin therapy are rarely allowed to engage in patient self-management (PSM) which is less burdensome, less expensive, and safer than standard clinic-directed warfarin management. The long-term objective of our application is to improve the safety of ambulatory warfarin therapy through increasing the implementation of PSM.
Saphenous Vein as Y-composite Versus Aortocoronary Conduit for CABG
Left internal thoracic artery (LITA) has been acknowledged as the first graft of choice for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). However, it is still not conclusive which one is the best second graft of choice among right internal thoracic artery, radial artery, right gastroepiploic artery, saphenous vein, and etc., as …
