Plan to Evaluate Early Endothelialization of a Polymer Free Sirolimus-eluting Coronary Stent System (VIVO ISARTM) Compared With Everolimus-eluting Durable Polymer Stent (XIENCE SkypointTM) in Patients Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention.
To evaluate the stent endothelialization (> 20 microns) of VIVO ISARTM versus XIENCE SkypointTM stents at 1-month (very early strut covered) at follow-up by Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) implanted IN THE SAME PATIENT during routine clinical practice.
Group-based Cardiac Telerehabilitation and Its Effectiveness
Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and coronary artery diseases (CAD) are the most common cause of death worldwide. After an acute cardiac event, prevention of new cardiac events is essential and reduces suffering. Group-based cardiac telerehabilitation (CTR) refers to the use of information and communication technologies for rehabilitation purposes in promoting CAD …
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.
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 …
Use of Shock Wave Therapy for Neo-Vascularisation in Non-critical Coronary Artery Disease: Validation by Quantitative Cardiac MRI Perfusion
This is a randomised controlled trial aimed to demonstrate the effect of cardiac extracorporeal shock wave therapy (CSWT) on the angiogenesis effect of myocardium by determining myocardial perfusion and left ventricular function in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) when measured by cardiac MRI before and after the treatment.
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.
Domain-specific Aerobic Exercise Training in Coronary Artery Disease
Exercise training in cardiac rehabilitation (rehab) is a key part of managing a patient with heart disease. It has been shown that cardiac patients who increase their aerobic ("cardio") fitness by exercise training live longer, have better quality of life, and stay out of hospitals more than patients who do …
Late-lumen Changes After Drug-Coated Balloon Angioplasty Versus Drug-Eluting Stents in De Novo Coronary Lesions
This study aims to compare late-lumen loss (LLL) between DCB and DES to treat de novo coronary artery stenosis by intravascular ultrasound (IVUS).
