Diagnostic Imaging Strategies for Patients with Stable Chest Pain and Intermediate Risk of Coronary Artery Disease: Comparative Effectiveness Research of Existing Technologies (DISCHARGE)
Start date: Feb 1, 2014, End date: Jan 31, 2019,
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of death in high-income countries. Invasive coronary angiography (ICA) is the reference standard for the diagnosis of CAD and allows immediate therapy. However, only 40% of patients undergoing ICA actually have obstructive CAD and ICA has relatively rare but considerable risks. Coronary computed tomography (CT) is the most accurate diagnostic test ...

Translating disease to cardiovascular health (TransCard)
Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Aug 31, 2018,
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in Europe and the world. Drugs that lower cholesterol in blood are the most efficient drugs used to date but we are currently still facing a 50-70% residual risk of suffering from CVD. This clearly illustrates an urgent need for the identification, characterization and validation of novel therapeutically relevant targets. Over the last dec ...

Comparative Effectiveness Research to Assess the Use of Primary ProphylacTic Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators in EUrope (EU-CERT-ICD)
Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2017,
An estimated 500.000 sudden cardiac deaths (SCD) occur each year in the European Union. Patients at risk for SCD may benefit from prophylactic treatment with an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD). ICD implantations have dramatically increased in recent years leading to multi-billion Euros of costs with significant regional disparities across Europe. Information on risks, benefits and cos ...

An optical neuro-monitor of cerebral oxygen metabolism and blood flow for neonatology (BabyLux)
Start date: Jan 1, 2014, End date: Dec 31, 2016,
The BabyLux project aims to provide a precise, accurate and robust integrated system to continuously monitoring cerebral oxygen metabolism and blood flow in critically ill newborn babies. Over the last two decades, the percentage of preterm births in the Western hemisphere rose by 20%. During early stages of brain development, injury from lack of blood flow and oxygen delivery may induce cognitive ...
