Stable Coronary Artery Disease

This study is designed to find out how safe nitroglycerin is and how it affects the body when it is taken together with another medicine called nurandociguat in people who have coronary artery disease (CAD). CAD is a condition where the arteries that supply blood to the heart become narrowed or blocked, often causing chest pain or even heart attacks. Many people with CAD also have chronic kidney disease (CKD), a long-term condition where the kidneys do not work as well as they should. People with CAD often use nitroglycerin to help improve blood flow to the heart. Nurandociguat is a new medicine being studied to help people with CKD by widening blood vessels and improving blood flow. Both nitroglycerin and nurandociguat work in similar ways in the body, so taking them together could have a stronger effect on blood vessels. This might lead to a sudden drop in blood pressure or other side effects. The main goal of this study is to learn how safe it is to use nitroglycerin and nurandociguat together, and to understand how they interact in the body.

This study is a prospective, investigator-initiated, multi-center, single arm, observational registry of performance of Excimer Laser Coronary Atherectomy (ELCA) in standard use cases of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

Numerous clinical studies have highlighted the role of macrophages in the destabilization of coronary lesions; however, there is limited literature on the relationship between circulating monocytes and intraplaque macrophages. This study aims to evaluate and compare the presence of macrophages and their subsequent activation within coronary and peripheral atherosclerotic lesions, and to correlate these findings with the distribution of circulating monocyte subpopulations.

The objective of this observational study is to evaluate the diagnostic effectiveness of magnetocardiography (MCG) in patients with stable coronary artery disease (SCAD) and compare it with coronary CTA (CCTA). Additionally, the study aims to determine the most suitable diagnostic index for MCG. The primary question it seeks to address is whether MCG or MCG combined with CCTA can be utilized to guide the clinical application of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for coronary heart disease.
