The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the diagnostic performance of angiography-derived microcirculatory indices (Angio-IMR) in assessing patients with stable angina or suspected coronary artery disease. The main questions it aims to answer are: How do the numerical values of Angio-IMR from five different software vendors change across …
The increasing number of coronary revascularization procedures, coupled with improvements in drug therapy, has significantly extended the lifespan of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). However, there remains a significant number of CAD patients who experience disability due to chronic refractory angina pectoris. These patients typically have severe diffuse CAD …
Insomnia is prevalent (45%) in CHD patients and associated with significantly increased risk for recurrent cardiovascular events. Insomnia has recently been identified as the third most important risk factor for prognosis. However, very few insomnia patients are identified and receive treatment of insomnia today. CBT-I is the first-line treatment for …
The overall objective of the planned future clinical trial is to test the investigator's central hypothesis that habitual singing over several weeks, similar to habitual exercise, will lead to sustained and favorable vascular adaptation, thereby lowering cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. The overall objective of this study is to refine and …
This study aims to investigate whether DCB angioplasty, compared to statin-based medical treatment alone, will lead to more reduction in plaque lipid burden as assessed by near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) at 6-9 months following the index procedure.
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 …
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 …
The CAPRA-EVO trial is a single-center, randomized, open-label study with blinded endpoint assessment comparing early evolocumab plus standard lipid-lowering therapy versus standard-of-care lipid-lowering therapy in patients with acute coronary syndrome after successful percutaneous coronary intervention. The study will use serial photon-counting coronary computed tomography angiography at baseline and 52 weeks …
This study is a prospective, multicenter, open-label, observational study to investigate the impact of using drug-coated balloons (DCBs) in the treatment of coronary artery lesions in patients with multivessel coronary artery disease (MVD), as opposed to the default strategy of using only drug-eluting stents (DES). The investigators aim to assess …
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if Yiyang Huoluo Decoction (a custom Chinese herbal medicine) works safely and effectively to treat coronary heart disease with atherosclerosis in older adults. It also aims to find out how this herbal treatment may affect blood vessel health and repair at …
