MYOCARDIAL ISCHEMIA

This study is testing the safety and performance of a new, longer version of a dissolvable heart stent called Freesolve. The stent is placed in blocked heart arteries to improve blood flow, slowly releases a medicine to prevent re-narrowing, and is designed to dissolve over time.…

This international study is testing whether using just one blood-thinning medication is as safe and effective as using two after a specific type of heart artery procedure. It focuses on patients aged 75 and older or those at high risk for bleeding. The goal is to find the best ba…

This study aims to see how well two newer heart stents (Synergy XD and Synergy Megatron) work and how safe they are compared to other drug-coated stents already in use. It will follow 2,000 adults with clogged heart arteries in their normal medical care. The main goal is to track…

This study is testing if a special heart scan (called a PET scan) can help doctors decide the best treatment for people with ongoing chest pain from heart disease. It will compare two approaches: sending patients for a heart procedure right away versus first trying to optimize th…

This study is testing whether adding special breathing muscle exercises to a standard cardiac rehabilitation program helps people recover better after a heart procedure. Researchers will compare two groups of 72 adults who had a stent placed for heart disease. One group gets the …

This study is testing a new type of heart stent called Freesolve, which is made of magnesium and dissolves over time. It is being compared to a standard, permanent metal drug-coated stent (Xience) in 1,859 patients with blocked heart arteries. The main goal is to see if the disso…

This study aims to see if using a special heart CT scan to plan a procedure is as good as or better than the current standard method, which uses an ultrasound probe inside the artery. Researchers will compare the two approaches in 700 patients with hardened, clogged heart arterie…

This study aims to measure exactly how long a heart-protecting solution called Del Nido cardioplegia keeps the heart safe during open-heart surgery. Researchers will enroll 80 adults having elective valve or aortic surgery and take small, timed blood samples during and after thei…

This study aims to understand how often people with psoriasis have hidden heart problems and what puts them at risk. Researchers will follow 1,000 adults with psoriasis, checking their blood for specific markers and performing detailed heart scans. The goal is to find early signs…

This study aims to understand if leg surgery puts hidden stress on the heart. Researchers will monitor a specific blood marker (troponin) in 54 patients before, during, and after their below-knee operations, which use nerve blocks for anesthesia. The goal is to see how often and …

This study aims to understand how modern, minimally invasive lung cancer surgery affects the heart. Researchers will closely monitor the heart's electrical activity and stress markers in 100 patients before, during, and after their surgery. The goal is to learn if these heart cha…
