Myocardial Revascularization

1. Evaluate the efficacy and safety of Qidan Xiaohe granules in patients after coronary revascularization surgery; 2. Develop a traditional Chinese medicine rehabilitation treatment plan and evaluation system for the use of Qidan Xiaohe granules after coronary revascularization surgery; 3. Demonstrate the advantages of traditional Chinese medicine rehabilitation treatment in the postoperative management of coronary revascularization surgery and provide high-level evidence-based medical evidence for the development of traditional Chinese medicine rehabilitation treatment plans.

This study aims to develop a risk prediction model for patients who have undergone coronary revascularization (such as stent placement or bypass surgery). After these procedures, some patients still experience heart-related problems like chest pain, heart attack, or rehospitalization. This study will enroll 600 patients from multiple hospitals in China and follow them for 12 months. At enrollment and at 12, 24, 36, and 48 weeks after surgery, researchers will collect clinical information (including traditional Chinese medicine symptoms, blood tests, heart imaging) and biological samples (blood and tongue coating). Using artificial intelligence, the study will build a predictive model that combines Western medical data with traditional Chinese medicine characteristics. The goal is to better identify patients at higher risk of future heart events, so that personalized prevention and management can be provided. The study does not involve any experimental treatment or intervention - it is purely observational.

1. To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the Baduanjin exercise programme in patients following coronary revascularisation surgery; 2. To develop a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) rehabilitation protocol and evaluation system for patients following coronary revascularisation surgery; 3. To clarify the advantages of TCM rehabilitation in the post-operative management of coronary revascularisation surgery and to provide high-level evidence-based medical evidence for TCM rehabilitation protocols.

Introduction: Myocardial revascularization is an essential procedure for patients with cardiovascular disease. Its recovery in the outpatient setting involves significant challenges for both the patient and the caregiver. This recovery phase may generate physical, emotional, and psychological complications that require an effective adaptation process of the patient-caregiver dyad to ensure successful recovery and improved quality of life. Objective: To evaluate the preliminary effectiveness of a nursing intervention aimed at improving adaptation in the patient-caregiver dyad during the outpatient postoperative period following myocardial revascularization, compared with usual care, in Bucaramanga during the period 2026-2027. Materials and Methods: A pilot randomized controlled trial will be conducted to develop and evaluate a novel nursing intervention aimed at promoting adaptation in patients undergoing outpatient postoperative myocardial revascularization and their caregivers. The intervention will be designed and its feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effectiveness will be assessed. Data analysis will be performed using descriptive and inferential statistical methods, considering the distribution and behavior of the data. Expected Results: The study is expected to assess the preliminary effectiveness of the proposed intervention through the integration of theoretical and empirical components.

The present case-control study is designed to investigate the disease characteristics of rapidly progressive coronary artery disease (R-CAD) by comparing the demographics, clinical features, lab results, imaging findings, and prior treatment between patients in the case group (approximately 34 patients with R-CAD) and those in the control group (approximately 18 patients with non-rapidly progressive coronary artery disease \[NR-CAD\]).
