There are currently 23 active clinical trials seeking participants for Atherosclerosis research studies. The states with the highest number of trials for Autism participants are California, Florida, Texas and New York.
Stroke Prevention in the Wisconsin Native American Population
Recruiting
This project will develop a "Stroke Awareness Team" including training of Oneida Health Service Coaches working in partnership with the UW team for a population-based health awareness program. This team will develop a series of Oneida Nation Healthy Living and Stroke Awareness Events (from now on health events) to provide education as to the severity of the problem as well as our standard therapies for lifestyle change and risk factor avoidance. This will include education of the healthy members... Read More

Massachusetts General Hospital and Tsuchiura Kyodo General Hospital Coronary Imaging Collaboration
Recruiting
The purpose of this collaboration is to establish a multi-modality image database including coronary angiograms, optical coherence tomography (OCT), computed tomography angiograms (CTA) and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) for future studies. The main goal of this collaboration is to create a resource to promote further understanding of the pathobiology of atherosclerosis through image analysis.

Using Indoor Air Filtration to Slow Atherothrombosis Progression in Adults With Ischemic Heart Disease History

IMPact on Revascularization Outcomes of IVUS Guided Treatment of Complex Lesions and Economic Impact
Recruiting
Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)-guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has been shown in clinical trials, registries, and meta-analyses to reduce recurrent events after PCI. This is accomplished by improving the angiographic result with lesion and vessel assessment to guide stent selection and implantation and intravascular imaging following stent implantation to ensure an adequate treatment endpoint has been achieved. Despite extensive literature supporting the use of IVUS in PCI, util... Read More

PET/CT* vs. Cardiac CT for Detecting Coronary Atherosclerotic Disease [*PET: Positron Emission Tomography; CT: Computed Tomography]
Recruiting
Early detection of coronary atherosclerotic disease facilitates adequate prevention. The purpose of this study is to compare an assessment of coronary atherosclerotic disease burden by positron emission tomography / computed tomography (NaF-PET/CT) with those of conventional and ultra-high-resolution-CT (UHR-CT) in patients with suspected coronary artery disease. For this purpose, the investigators plan to include 33 patients with symptoms concerning for CAD who have been referred for cardiac CT... Read More

Comparing Perclose to Statseal in Conjunction With Perclose in Femoral 6 French Arteriotomy Closure
Recruiting
The purpose of this clinical study is to compare how well two different devices for achieving hemostasis perform in patients undergoing transfemoral procedures with 6 French Access. Both devices are approved by the FDA for this use, and have already been used by clinicians on patients undergoing transfemoral procedures. It is believed that the use of both devices in combination compared to the Perclose alone will shorten the time that it takes to 'seal' the artery, resulting in a shorter period... Read More

Cholesterol and Inflammation Lowering Via Bempedoic Acid, an ACL-inhibiting Regimen in HIV Trial (CLEAR HIV Trial)
Recruiting
This is a randomized placebo-controlled study in treated and suppressed HIV-infected individuals aged ≥40 years with either known CVD or 1 CVD risk factor to study the effect of Bempedoic acid (BA) on safety, arterial inflammation as assessed by FDG-PET/CT, lipids, inflammation, immune activation, cardiometabolic indices, and non-calcified plaque (NCP) in the coronary arteries (assessed by coronary CT angiography, CCTA). This trial will be enrolled at UCSF and UCLA. Collaborators at Massachusett... Read More

The Role of microRNA-210 in Regulating Oxidative Stress in Patients With PAD
Recruiting
MicroRNA-210 (miR-210) can be a potential therapeutic target of patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD). Recent evidence suggests the role of miR-210 and oxidative stress in the pathophysiology of PAD and its association with mitochondrial function, oxidative metabolism, walking distances and quality of life. The protocol evaluates the mechanisms which miR-210 regulates oxidative stress and provides evidence of potential therapeutic strategies.

Pilot Study-Magnetic Resonance Imaging for Global Atherosclerosis Risk Assessment
Recruiting
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of death in the United States, and improved CVD risk assessment is needed for personalized medicine. Atherosclerosis measures including plaque volume and adverse plaque features have prognostic value. Novel techniques have been developed for assessing carotid, coronary, and femoral atherosclerosis using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) methods that are rapid and reproducible, have improved spatial resolution, and do not require contrast medi...
