Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT07476274Recruiting
Study of pneumonia after heart bypass surgery
This trial looks at pneumonia that happens in the hospital after coronary artery bypass surgery. It aims to understand who is at risk and how to better prevent or treat it.
Tomsk, Tomsk OblastAges 18 years+ - NCT07476703Recruiting
Extended study on the SCAPIS Stockholm reexamined group
This trial studies data and samples from people already taking part in the main SCAPIS reexamination study in Stockholm. It looks for new findings to help understand heart and lung health.
StockholmAges 56–74 - NCT07479056Recruiting
Fexuprazan to prevent stomach bleeding in heart patients on two blood thinners
This trial tests whether fexuprazan can prevent upper gastrointestinal bleeding in people at high risk who need two antiplatelet drugs for at least 6 months after a heart stent. If you are on dual antiplatelet therapy after a stent and have risk factors like older age, low weight, or history of ulcers, this study may help protect your stomach.
Seoul, Eunpyeong-guAges 20 years+ - NCT07463664Recruiting
Drug-coated balloons for blocked heart arteries
This trial tests whether a drug-coated balloon, used without a permanent stent, can safely open completely blocked heart arteries that have been blocked for at least 3 months. It may offer an option that avoids leaving a metal stent behind.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT07469397Recruiting
Study of bleeding after sheath removal in heart ICU
This study looks at what affects bleeding after removing a tube from an artery in the groin (femoral sheath) and how long people need to lie flat. It is for patients in a cardiac ICU who are having the sheath removed.
TaipeiAges 20 years+ - NCT04576130Recruiting
ICD study after cardiac arrest from an abnormal heart rhythm
This study looks at an implantable defibrillator (ICD) strategy in people who survived a cardiac arrest caused by an abnormal rhythm (ventricular fibrillation or ventricular tachycardia). It aims to reduce the risk of another dangerous rhythm after the blocked heart arteries are fully treated.
CopenhagenAges 18 years+ - NCT06793787Recruiting
AI and advanced imaging to guide treatment of borderline heart blockages
This study uses advanced CT scans and a special camera (OCT) to look at borderline blockages in heart arteries more closely. It aims to see if artificial intelligence can help decide which blockages need a stent and which can be treated with medicine alone.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06793774Recruiting
Using CT scans and AI to evaluate heart artery risk
This study uses a CT scan of your heart (CCTA) and advanced computer analysis to see how well it can predict heart risks compared to detailed inside-look tests (IVUS, OCT, NIRS). If you have chest pain and have had certain heart scans, this trial may help doctors understand your condition better.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06794684Recruiting
Watching Plaque in Heart Arteries Over Time
This study uses CT scans and special camera images inside your arteries to watch how plaque buildup in heart arteries changes over time. It may help you understand your risk and guide future treatment.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT07444957Recruiting
