Effectiveness of a School-centered Prevention Program on Prevalence of Latent Rheumatic Heart Disease
The overall objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of a school-centered primary and secondary prevention program on the prevalence of latent rheumatic heart disease among schoolchildren in Nepal, and to investigate the role of socioeconomic and environmental factors in the development and progression of rheumatic heart disease.
Vibrometer Based Pulse Wave Analysis for Arterial Stiffness and Ischemic Heart Disease Risk Assessment
This clinical investigation will evaluate a novel contactless technology for assessing arterial stiffness and explore its potential in assessment of risk for and development of cardiovascular disease. The main aims of the study are: To assess device and method performance for assessment of arterial stiffness and cardiovascular risk, on a …
A Non-Inferiority Trial of Stopping Penicillin in Early Rheumatic Heart Disease: GOAL-Stop
GOAL-Stop is a randomized, controlled, non-inferiority trial designed to evaluate whether discontinuing secondary antibiotic prophylaxis (SAP) is non-inferior to continuing SAP in preventing progression of rheumatic heart disease (RHD) among children and adolescents. The trial will enroll participants aged 5-20 years with previously diagnosed mild RHD who have received at …
Youth-Onset Type 2 Diabetes and Heart Disease: The Young at Heart Prospective Cohort Study
Background Type 2 diabetes is a disease that affects blood sugar levels. Complications can include heart and blood vessel (vascular) diseases. Rates of type 2 diabetes have tripled in children and young adults over the last 40 years. Vascular diseases are also increasing in young people. Objective To learn more …
Stratification of Arrhythmic Risk and/or Heart Failure Risk in Patients With Hereditary Heart Disease
Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is one of the leading causes of death in developed countries. These deaths (more than 5,000 per year in France) are due to hereditary arrhythmias or cardiomyopathies. Early diagnosis of SCD is often achieved through family screening, but the main challenge is to stratify the risk …
Psychosocial, Environmental, and Chronic Disease Trends in Puerto Rico
The overall goal is to identify trends and longitudinal associations in psychosocial, food-related, and cardiometabolic risk factors that can guide public health priorities and future research needs aimed at reducing cardiovascular-related disparities in Puerto Rico. To this end, investigators will establish 'PROSPECT: Puerto Rico Observational Study of Psychosocial, Environmental, and …
A Chinese Multicenter Study on Surgical Techniques and Outcomes Across the Lifespan in Congenital Heart Disease
The goal of this observational study is to learn about recovery after heart surgery for people with Complex Congenital Heart Disease (CCHD), build a comprehensive data platform for CCHD care across a person's whole life, and create a China-specific quality control system to improve CCHD surgical care. The main questions …
Interventional Strategy for Non-culprit Lesions With Major Vulnerability Criteria at OCT in Patients With ACS
The INTERCLIMA (Interventional Strategy for Non-culprit Lesions With Major Vulnerability Criteria Identified by Optical Coherence Tomography in Patients With Acute Coronary Syndrome) is a multi-center, prospective, randomized trial of optical coherence tomography (OCT)-based versus physiology-based (i.e. fractional flow reserve\[FFR\]/instantaneous Wave-Free Ratio\[iFR\]/resting full-cycle ratio\[RFR\]) treatment of intermediate (40-70% diameter stenosis), non-culprit …
Treatment of Functionally Non-significant Vulnerable Plaques in Patients With Multivessel ST-elevation Myocardial Infarction The VULNERABLE Trial
The study aims to compare a preventive percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) plus optimal medical treatment (OMT) strategy vs. OMT for treatment of non-functionally significant non-culprit lesions presenting with optical coherence tomography (OCT) findings indicative of vulnerable plaque, in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and multivessel disease.
SECURE Trial: Stress Echocardiography With Carotid Ultrasound vs Routine CT Coronary Angiography in Chronic Coronary Syndrome for Endpoints
Diseases of the heart and circulation are known as cardiovascular diseases, and they cause over 160,000 deaths each year. Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the most common cardiovascular disease. This is due to a build-up of fatty material, known as atherosclerosis, in the blood vessels supplying blood to the heart …
