To investigate the association between shear stress and plaque growth and plaque composition changes over time. Furthermore, it will be investigated how these plaque changes influence the local wall stress.
This study aims at establishing the influence of sampling site on the variability of ACT measurement at the end of coronary angiography or PCI.
In the present study we aim to determine the value of microvascular resistance measurements in the acute setting to predict the occurrence of MVO in the following days, using the combined pressure-flow wire. Therefore patients with an acute MI will…
To determine whether CCTA can provide a more efficient diagnostic work-up in suspected NSTE-ACS patients with an initial inconclusive work-up by identifying patients that do not have significant coronary artery disease.
The objective is to study the feasibility of different PET tracers to detect vulnerable plaques in patients with a recent acute coronary syndrome and co-localize these inflammatory lesions with anatomical plaque features obtained with CT based…
To determine the added value of signs, symptoms and H-FABP measurement in in- or excluding acute coronary syndrome in patients with thoracic complaints in general practice
Primary Objective: • To study the accuracy of a combined CT angiography and DECT for complete imaging of CAD compared to the reference standard, ICA and SPECT MPI. Secondary Objective(s): • To compare DECT analysis in the detection of perfusion…
The objective of this study is to measure the effect of a smart technology intervention on patients after AMI.
The aim of this study is to investigate whether iFR-measurement of non-infarct related arteries during the acute phase of STEMI is in agreement with iFR and FFR measurement at the staged procedure.
1) To evaluate changes in microvascular resistance of the infarcted area in the first hours after ST-elevation myocardial infarction and during the recovery period (<5 days)2) To classify patients according to recovery of microvascular…
To compare the image quality, visibility of perfusion deficits and myocardial blood flow of a conventional analog PET system with a digital PET system in 30 patient referred for PET myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI).
- To compare relative myocardial mass distribution (i.e. mass of the respective territories of LAD, LCX and RCA) by CT scanning to normalized hyperemic blood flow in the three major myocardial territories as assessed by absolute flow measurements…
This study aims at establishing the influence of sampling site on the variability of ACT measurement at the end ofcoronary angiography or PCI.
To assess whether the iFR is non-inferior to FFR when used to guide treamtent of coronary stenoses with PCI
Incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease in familial combined hyperlipidemia
To determine: 1) the incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus in FCHL patients, normolipidemic relatives and their spouses2) the incidence of cardiovascular disease in FCHL patients, normolipidemic relatives and their spouses3) the prevalence of CESD…
The current research proposal therefore aims to examine the relation between a range of psychological risk factors and several mental stress-induced physiological responses in a large sample of PCI patients.
To investigate whether children with a history of Kawasaki disease have an increased IMT and arterial stifness compared to their healthy siblings.
To determine whether platelet reactivity unit (PRU) values as assessed with the VerifyNow P2Y12 assay are influenced by the performance of a PCI procedure
To compare the diagnostic value of CTA versus the standard work-up in terms of identifying patients with severe coronary artery disease (requiring revascularization), as well as the ability to safely discharge patients without coronary artery…
The aim of this study is to perform a head-to-head comparison between SPECT/CT and PET/CT in comparison with conventional catheter-based coronary angiography and FFR measurements, to establish the diagnostic value of the modern cardiac myocardial…
