CORONARY HEART DISEASE

This study tests a drug called inclisiran in about 1,590 Chinese adults with coronary heart disease who still have high LDL (bad) cholesterol despite taking statins. Participants receive either inclisiran or standard care, and researchers check how much LDL drops over one year. T…

This study looks at two ways to open blocked heart arteries in people with diabetes: drug-coated balloons and drug-eluting stents. Researchers want to see which one works better over time. About 1,500 diabetic patients who had a heart procedure will be followed for years to compa…

This study looks at whether a 12-session exercise program led by physical therapists can help older adults (70+) with stable heart disease become less frail. Participants will do guided exercises and mobility training to improve balance, walking speed, and leg strength. The resea…

This study is creating a large biobank of 48,000 people with diabetes in Hong Kong. Researchers will collect blood samples and health data to find genetic markers that predict serious complications like kidney failure, heart disease, and stroke. The goal is to improve early detec…

This study examines two specific genes (Cofilin-2 and Lactoferrin) in people with gum disease, some of whom also have coronary heart disease. Researchers want to see if non-surgical gum treatment changes these gene-related proteins and if they are linked to heart health. The goal…

This study follows 2,600 adults with coronary heart disease and depression who received a stent (a tiny tube to open blocked arteries). Researchers track their health for one year to see how often serious heart problems occur and what factors predict worse outcomes. The goal is t…

This study aimed to see if using wearable devices and game-like features could encourage hospital patients with heart conditions to walk more. It was designed for adults aged 50 and older admitted to medicine or cardiology floors. However, the study was withdrawn before any parti…
