Filter by:To evaluate the safety pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of repeat weekly dosing of MEDI6012 in subjects with stable atherosclerosis.
The purpose of this study is to determine if bempedoic acid (ETC-1002) added-on to ezetimibe therapy is effective and safe versus placebo in patients with elevated LDL cholesterol.
Polyphenol supplements, including curcumin and resveratrol, are known to decrease inflammation, but previous polyphenol supplements were poorly absorbed and thus their effects were reduced. A new phytosome formulation coats the supplements and allows them to be better absorbed. The purpose of this study is to examine the acute (1-hr) and short-term (1-week) effects of two different phytosome-formulated polyphenol supplements on inflammation. The two supplements that will be used are: 1) PolyResveratrol and 2) Curcumin.
Arterial stiffness is an important marker of cardiovascular risk. It is measured by pulse wave velocity. The reference device to measure pulse wave velocity is the Sphygmocor which uses applanation tonometry. It is used in adults and children. An easier method called pOpmètre using saturation sensors is validated in adults but not in children. The objective of this study is to compare the pulse wave velocity values measured with the pOpmètre® with those of the SphygmoCor® to validate the pOpmètre in children between 4 and 8 years old.
The purpose of this study is to see if bemedoic acid (ETC-1002) is effective versus placebo in patients with high cardiovascular risk and elevated LDL cholesterol not adequately controlled by their current therapy.
Ultraviolet (UV) phototherapy is a standard treatment for many inflammatory dermatological diseases, including psoriasis. The systemic effects of UV phototherapy are still not well studied. There are several factors that may affect patient's cardiovascular (CV) risk during UV phototherapy. Atherosclerosis is now known to have an inflammatory origin and to be frequently associated with psoriasis. In this study the investigators aim at studying the effect of psoralen-UVA phototherapy on several biomarkers of CV risk in patients with psoriasis with or without atherosclerosis.
Title: Combined Optical Coherence Tomography Morphologic and Fractional Flow Reserve Hemodynamic Assessment of Non-Culprit Lesions to Better Predict Adverse Event Outcomes in Diabetes Mellitus Patients COMBINE (OCT-FFR) Prospective Register To study the natural evolution of patients with at least one intermediate angiographic but non-hemodynamic significant stenotic lesion, in two subgroups of patients, with TCFA vs. no TCFA as detected by OCT imaging and to compare these two groups of patients with each other as well as to a subset of patients with FFR-positive and PCI-treated intermediate lesions on future MACE.
The purpose of this study is to determine if bempedoic acid (ETC-1002) is effective and safe versus placebo in patients with elevated LDL cholesterol and who are statin-intolerant.
Determine the relationship between the systemic indications of atherosclerosis by means of the change in the ratio of periodontopathogenic microorganisms following periodontal treatment of individuals who have been diagnosed with chronic periodontitis-atherosclerosis and for individuals who have been diagnosed with systemically healthy-chronic periodontitis.
The Incident COronary EveNts Identified by Coronary Tomography (ICONIC) trial is a nested, case-control study derived from the dynamic CONFIRM registry, and is based on propensity scoring methods to match subjects with (cases) or without (controls) acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Our primary objective is to determine CCTA-based atherosclerotic plaque characteristics that would help elucidate precursors of incident ACS, with the secondary objective being an analysis of gender-specific disparities.
