Hyperemic mYocardial Perfusion by adEnosine at diffeRent Doses
Adenosine is a commonly used pharmaceutical stressor at cardiac magnetic resonance examinations to assess suspected chronic coronary syndrome (CCS). However, several studies have reported that the current use of adenosine does not induce adequate hyperemic response in a substantial number of patients, leading to false diagnostics. The aim of this …
Intrapleural Ropivacaine Infusion in Cardiac Surgery
For many patients, a primary source of postoperative pain following cardiac surgery is the presence of pleural drains, which the surgeon places at the end of the operation and maintains for 1 to 3 days. One promising method of pain management after cardiac surgery is interpleural analgesia, particularly when traditional …
Anti-atherosclerotic Efficacy of Selected Antidiabetic Drugs in Patients With Coronary Artery Disease and Pre-diabetes
The purpose of the study is to compare the anti-atherosclerotic efficacy of oral treatment with a GLP-1 analogue (semaglutide) or an SGLT-2 (so-called "flozin") inhibitor (dapagliflozin) versus routine treatment (metformin) in patients with pre-diabetes and diagnosed coronary artery disease at 24 months. The diagnosis of coronary artery disease will be …
Microplastics and Nanoplastics in Patients With Chronic Coronary Syndromes
The CCS-plastics is an investigator-initiated, prospective, multicenter study of patients undergoing coronary CT angiography (CCTA) for suspected or known chronic coronary syndromes (CCS) referred to invasive coronary angiography for clinical indication. Patients identified as eligible for the protocol will be asked for written consent to participate in the study. The …
SPAGO: Sirolimus Paclitaxel Angiographic Gain Objective
The objective of the study is to compare angiographic outcomes of Selution sirolimus coated balloon (MedAlliance) versus SeQuent Please Neo paclitaxel coated balloon (Bbraun) for the treatment of de novo coronary artery lesions in medium size vessels (\>2.00 mm and ≤3.00 mm) with respect to Net Gain (mm) and Fractional …
CPET in Myocardial Ischemia
The investigators goal is to determine whether cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) can be utilized in the diagnosis of myocardial ischemia. For the study participants the investigators will recruit patients who have been referred to myocardial perfusion PET/CT scan in Kuopio University Hospital. The participants will perform the CPET on a …
Effect of Dapagliflozin on Microvascular Function in Women With Symptoms of Coronary Artery Disease
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effects of a drug (in the drug class called sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors) in women who have symptoms of ischemic heart disease. The main questions the study aims to answer are: Does blood flow in the heart improve with study …
Effectiveness of Inspiratory Muscle Training for People with Ischemic Heart Disease Revascularized by Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty.
Myocardial Ischemia (MI) consists of the narrowing of the internal lumen of the arteries that perfuse the heart. As the section of the artery decreases, so does the blood flow and therefore the supply of oxygen to the myocardium, which can cause angina pectoris or even an acute myocardial infarction. …
Effects of Left Atrial Appendage Resection and Marshall Ligament Amputation on Clinical Outcome in Patients Undergoing Off-pump Coronary Artery Bypass
Surgical occlusion of the left atrial appendage (LAAO) is sometimes performed during the cardiac surgery to reduce long-term risk of stroke.A previous study found that LAAO may be associated with increased risk of postoperative atrial fibrillation.New-onset atrial fibrillation (NOAF) after coronary artery bypass graft is related to an increased short-term …
Re-infusion of Unwashed Shed Blood During Off-pump Surgery
To assess the efficacy and side-effects of re-infusion of unwashed shed blood during off-pump coronary artery surgery using a novel cardiotomy circuit.
