Non-invasive diagnostic work-up Sample Clauses

Non-invasive diagnostic work-up. Stress ECG will be performed and its results (when evaluable) will be utilized to concur in identification of patients with intermediate pre-test probability to be enrolled. All included patients will undergo: a) CT angiography (CTA) to assess the presence of “anatomical” correlates of IHD, i.e. epicardial coronary lesions; b) stress imaging with stress radionuclide (SPECT or PET) and stress MRI or stress ECHO studies, to assess the presence of “functional” correlates of IHD, i.e. abnormal myocardial perfusion and contraction. All studies will be performed within two months from enrolment, according to standardized protocols; they will be registered on multimedial support (DVD) in standardized format and shipped for central readings. Records of measured radiation dose to the patient (when applicable) will be entered in the “patient record” into the Central Server. Patients who will not be able to perform one of the two non invasive stress tests will be kept into the study (with missing data). Patients who will refuse to perform invasive coronary angiography but will be submitted to CTA and functional stress tests (in particular in the case of normal non-invasive tests and/or CTA) will be kept into the study (with missing data). Patients who will refuse CTA but will perform functional stress tests and invasive coronary angiography will be kept into the study (with missing data). All patients will be encouraged to complete the whole protocol but, according to the above statements, a minimum of a functional stress test and an anatomic test will be considered sufficient to keep a patient into the study. Additional patients will be enrolled throughout the consortium to keep stable the final number of patients submitted to each combination of anatomo-functional non invasive modalities. Regarding the stress Echo and stress MRI studies, dobutamine will be used as a stressor in the majority of centers. High dose dipyridamole Echo or MRI will be performed in a minority of patients to allow the contemporary analysis of ventricular function and epicardial coronary flow reserve by Echo or myocardial perfusion by MRI. As far as the accuracy in the detection of ischemic wall motion abnormalities are concerned the 2 stressors are very similar (see References below) allowing to pool the data when accuracy of Echo-Stress or MRI-Stress will be compared with other stress imaging approaches.

  • TECHNICAL TASKS Products that require a draft version are indicated by marking “(draft and final)” after the product name in the “Products” section of the task/subtask. If “(draft and final)” does not appear after the product name, only a final version of the product is required. Subtask 1.1 (Products) describes the procedure for submitting products to the CAM.

  • Research Use The Requester agrees that if access is approved, (1) the PI named in the DAR and (2) those named in the “Senior/Key Person Profile” section of the DAR, including the Information Technology Director and any trainee, employee, or contractor1 working on the proposed research project under the direct oversight of these individuals, shall become Approved Users of the requested dataset(s). Research use will occur solely in connection with the approved research project described in the DAR, which includes a 1-2 paragraph description of the proposed research (i.e., a Research Use Statement). Investigators interested in using Cloud Computing for data storage and analysis must request permission to use Cloud Computing in the DAR and identify the Cloud Service Provider (CSP) or providers and/or Private Cloud System (PCS) that they propose to use. They must also submit a Cloud Computing Use Statement as part of the DAR that describes the type of service and how it will be used to carry out the proposed research as described in the Research Use Statement. If the Approved Users plan to collaborate with investigators outside the Requester, the investigators at each external site must submit an independent DAR using the same project title and Research Use Statement, and if using the cloud, Cloud Computing Use Statement. New uses of these data outside those described in the DAR will require submission of a new DAR; modifications to the research project will require submission of an amendment to this application (e.g., adding or deleting Requester Collaborators from the Requester, adding datasets to an approved project). Access to the requested dataset(s) is granted for a period of one (1) year, with the option to renew access or close-out a project at the end of that year. Submitting Investigator(s), or their collaborators, who provided the data or samples used to generate controlled-access datasets subject to the NIH GDS Policy and who have Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval and who meet any other study specific terms of access, are exempt from the limitation on the scope of the research use as defined in the DAR.
