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 …
This prospective observational study aims to evaluate a high-resolution coronary CT platform (uCT SiriuX Pro) for non-invasive assessment of coronary plaque biomechanics and functional physiology in high-risk patients. The system enables CT-derived radial wall strain (CT-RWS), a novel biomarker reflecting plaque vulnerability, with potential correlation to invasive OCT findings and …
This is an open-label, randomized, multicenter Phase II clinical study designed to evaluate the cardioprotective effect, to determine the optimal dosages and duration of inhalation, and to assess the clinical safety of the medicinal product Aroxxen® in patients undergoing elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with stent implantation. Patients who undergo …
Together with patients and healthcare professionals, we want to design a Decision Support Tool (DST) that will help people with coronary artery disease to understand and choose treatments that best reflect their preferences and values. Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a leading cause of death. Blood vessels supplying oxygen to …
Despite the relative safety of PCI with new generation stents, peri-PCI thrombotic complications, including myocardial infarction and myocardial injury, are common in elective PCI, occurring in up to 30% of patients. Importantly, these events are associated with poor prognosis. The risk of peri-PCI myocardial infarction/myocardial injury has been in part …
Dual Antiplatelet Therapy represents the main therapy for patients presenting with chronic coronary syndromes and undergoing elective PCI. However, most of these patients are not properly covered in terms of inhibition of platelets aggregation at the time of PCI, and are exposed to an higher risk of microvascular damage which …
The study aims to support patients immediately after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) by implementing a telemonitoring program. Eligible patients have coronary heart disease and undergo PCI. The intervention group receives remote monitoring and text-based follow-up, with established health goals and education on using the telemonitoring application, along with necessary devices. …
This study will use a form of intermittent fasting called time-restricted eating (TRE) where individuals consume ad libitum energy intake within a set window of time, commonly 8 hours, which induces a fasting window of 16 hours per day (i.e., 16:8 TRE). TRE could be an effective addition to cardiac …
The purpose of this study is to determine whether exercise testing can detect an obstruction in a coronary artery, and, thereby, can avoid performing a coronary imaging in some cases. Patients with a suspicion of coronary artery disease perform an exercise test on an exercise bike with increasing load. EKG, …
The COMPLETE study is a single-centre, investigator-initiated study of patients with an indication for invasive coronary angiography with CCTA performed during the diagnostic evaluation. After identifying the presence of a coronary stenosis, defined as an epicardial lesion \>50% stenosis on CCTA, patients eligible for the study will be invited to …
