Exploitation of genomic variants affecting coronary artery disease and stroke risk for therapeutic intervention (CVGENES-AT-TARGET)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2013, Date de fin: 31 mars 2017,
Atherosclerosis and its most disabling sequelae, coronary artery disease (CAD) and stroke, are leading causes of death in Europe. Until now, preventive and therapeutic interventions for these diseases aim at ameliorating the effects of established cardiovascular risk factors. More recently, results of genome-wide association (GWA) studies added to our perception of mechanisms leading to atheroscle ...

PREvention of Late Stent Thrombosis by an Interdisciplinary Global European effort (PRESTIGE)
Date du début: 1 déc. 2010, Date de fin: 30 nov. 2014,
"According to the European Society of Cardiology there has been an increase in the life expectancy at the age of 65 of the European population from 15.0 to 17.0 years in the years since 1980. In the elderly, up to 50% of deaths are caused by cardiovascular diseases, the majority accounted for by coronary artery disease. The most effective treatment for obstructive coronary disease is percutaneous ...

Gaining sage on the Epoetins' saga: assessing long term risks and advancing towards better Epoetin driven treatment modalities (EPOCAN)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2011, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2014,
EpoCan aims to develop and implement a comprehensive interdisciplinary strategy to assess the long-term risks of erythropoietin (EPO) and its derivatives (epoetins) on tumour growth progression and thromboembolic events in cancer patients, cardiovascular events, and the development of cancer in chronic kidney disease. Approximately 400,000 patients across Europe receive epoetins treatment each yea ...

Metastatic tumours facilitated by hypoxic tumour micro-environments (METOXIA)
Date du début: 1 févr. 2009, Date de fin: 31 juil. 2014,
"Recent research suggests that the hypoxic micro-environment of tumours is one of the major drivers of metastatic spread of cancer. Furthermore, hypoxic tumour micro-environments may result in treatment resistance of cancer cells, therefore causing a double effect of reducing the potential of a successful treatment of the cancer patient. This project seeks to clarify the roles and functions of the ...

Magnetic Resonance Guidance of Catheter Based Ablation for Cardiac Arrhythmia (MRI + Ablation)
Date du début: 1 août 2008, Date de fin: 31 juil. 2010,
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most important arrhythmia in contemporary cardiology, and despite much progress, remain therapeutic challenges. Invasive electrical studies of the heart are often used in the diagnosis and therapy of arrhythmia. Many forms of arrhythmia can be cured by selective destruction of critical electrical pathways with catheter ablation. A major limitation in studying arrhyt ...
