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.
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 …
RAdiolabeled Perfusion to Identify Coronary Artery Disease Using WAter To Evaluate Responses of Myocardial FLOW (RAPID-WATER-FLOW)
This a Phase 3, prospective, open-label, multicenter study of [15-O]-H2O injection for PET imaging of subjects with suspected CAD. Approximately 182 evaluable participants with suspected CAD referred for testing will be included in the study at approximately 10 study sites in the United States and Europe. Approximately 215 participants will …
Tailoring Bleeding Reduction Approaches in Patients Undergoing PCI
Two strategies have both proven to be effective in reducing bleeding complications while preserving efficacy compared with maintaining long-term DAPT with aspirin and a potent P2Y12 inhibitor: a) DAPT de-escalation (i.e., switching from prasugrel or ticagrelor to clopidogrel while maintaining aspirin) and b) potent P2Y12 inhibitor monotherapy (i.e., maintaining prasugrel …
Uninterrupted Direct-acting Oral Anticoagulation in Patients Undergoing Transradial Percutaneous Coronary Procedures
Up to 20-30% of patients who are candidates for direct oral anticoagulation (DOAC) present with concomitant ischemic heart disease and often require coronary angiography with or without percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The decision whether to continue the DOAC throughout periprocedural period or interrupt DOAC before planned procedure represents a substantial …
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Patients Undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery
Heart disease is the leading cause of death globally, accounting for 16% of the world's total deaths. The number of cases is expected to increase as our population ages. Heart disease also results in large economic burden. It costs the United States about $219 billion per year. Some patients have …
Comparison of Moderate-Intensity Statin Plus Ezetimibe vs. High-Intensity Statin for Coronary Plaque Stabilization
This study is a prospective, multicenter, randomized clinical trial aimed at comparing the effects of moderate-intensity statin plus ezetimibe combination therapy versus high-intensity statin monotherapy on coronary plaque stabilization. Using advanced imaging techniques such as near-infrared spectroscopy-intravascular ultrasound (NIRS-IVUS), the trial evaluates whether the combination therapy is non-inferior to monotherapy …
