What is Kengreal

Cangrelor

The Generic name of this drug

Treatment Summary

Cangrelor is a medication used to prevent blood clots in people who are having a procedure to open blocked heart arteries (percutaneous coronary intervention). It works faster than other oral drugs (such as prasugrel, ticagrelor, and clopidogrel) that are used for the same purpose, and does not need to be metabolized in order to take effect. It was approved by the FDA in 2015 and is administered intravenously.

Effectiveness

How Kengreal works in the body

Cangrelor is a drug that stops platelets from sticking together and forming clots. Platelets are a type of blood cell that normally stick together to form clots when there is damage to a blood vessel. Cangrelor stops this process by blocking a protein called P2Y12, which helps platelets stick together when it binds to a molecule called ADP. Cangrelor works in the same way as other drugs like clopidogrel and ticlopidine, but it acts more quickly and only lasts for a short time.

When to interrupt dosage

The measure of Kengreal is contingent upon the diagnosed condition, such as Myocardial Infarction, prophylaxis of reoccurring coronary revascularization and prophylaxis of Stent thrombosis. Dosage fluctuates according to the method of delivery, as indicated in the table below.

Consent Approaches for Heart Disease Rehabilitation

18+
All Sexes
Springfield, MA

Cardiac Rehabilitation is a lifestyle and exercise program for patients with heart disease. Cardiac Rehabilitation is strongly recommended in guidelines, but only 30% of eligible patients attend. New strategies are needed to help more patients attend cardiac rehabilitation. In this study, the investigators will see if using an $50 incentive, case management, text messages, and physical activity coaching combined into a single intervention will help more patients attend cardiac rehabilitation. In preparation for a larger trial, patients will also be randomly assigned to four different ways of seeking their permission to be in a research study. The investigators will see if these approaches affect how many people participate in the research project. The two main goals of this study is to understand: 1. If the consent approach type impacts participation rates in the research study 2. If the multi-component intervention (case management, financial incentives, text messages, and physical activity coaching) improves cardiac rehabilitation participation within 3 months.
