The goal of this clinical trial is to find out whether partly replacing aerobic interval training (AIT) with resistance training (RT) leads to greater improvements in physical fitness and muscle mass in women with coronary artery disease (CAD) during cardiac rehabilitation. The main questions this study aims to answer are: …
The devices compared in this study are 'retainers', i.e. fixed orthodontic retainers applied to the lingual surface of the central and lateral incisors and lower canines bilaterally. Their function is to maintain dental alignment once fixed orthodontic therapy has ended. In particular, the CAD/CAM device Keeppy patented by the company …
Orthognathic surgery is a surgical procedure performed to correct dentofacial deformities. In recent years, with the use of virtual surgical planning, cutting guides, and patient-specific osteosynthesis plates, highly predictable results can be achieved. While there are many positive reports regarding the use of patient-specific plates in maxillary positioning in orthognathic …
This study evaluates whether plaques in young patients with familial hypercholesterolemia (aged below 50 years) are susceptible to significant plaque regression with early, intensive lipid lowering therapy.
Chest pain is one of the most common symptoms of heart disease. This could be due to narrowing in heart's blood vessels, which needs to be investigated. Currently, people with a low risk of narrowing of heart vessels usually have a CT scan of the heart first. This scan is …
Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) is a non-invasive imaging tool that characterizes coronary artery anatomy and provides detailed assessments of plaque morphology, composition , inflammation, and hemodynamics, which have crucial prognostic implications. The FASTTRACK CABG trial demonstrated that CCTA- fractional flow reserve derived from CCTA can plan and guide coronary …
Microvascular coronary dysfunction (MCD) (abnormities in small blood vessels/arteries in heart) with symptoms of persistent chest pain, primarily impacts women. There are an estimated 2-3 million women in the US with MCD and about 100,000 new cases annually. Recent data from our research group suggests that coronary microvascular disease impairs …
This is a combined cohort study with retrospectively and prospectively enrolled coronary artery disease (CAD) patients. All the patients will undergo clinical follow-up for up to 5 years, and repeat coronary CTA will be conducted after 2 years. Comprehensive morphological and functional plaque analysis will be performed. The impact of …
Study Purpose This study aims to compare clinical outcomes between two revascularization strategies in patients with high-risk coronary artery disease and 50-90% angiographic stenosis: a plaque burden and vulnerability-based revascularization strategy guided by intravascular imaging versus an ischemia-based revascularization strategy guided by physiologic assessment. Background Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), in …
Changes to gastric pH, gastric emptying time, gastrointestinal transit-time or the pre-systemic metabolizing effect of enzymes secreted in the mucosa may all alter the pharmacokinetics of medicines. These factors are potentially influenced by bariatric surgery. Little is so far known about how gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy impacts the biological …
