Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate exercise strategies that motivate and relive stress in adults with cardiopulomnary conditions. The goals of this study are as follows: - To explore the feasibility (how easily it can be done) of using self-selected music during exercise training for adults with cardiopulmonary conditions. - To assess patient satisfaction of self-selected music with exercise for adults with cardiopulmonary conditions. - To explore the immediate effects of self-selected music on mood and symptoms (shortness of breath and fatigue) compared with listening to a podcast during their exercise training session Participants will: - Select 5-7 songs and 1 podcast to listen to during their treatment session - Walk on the treadmill while either listening to a podcast or music - Fill out surveys about their mood, symptoms (shortness of breath and fatigue), music/podcast, and exercise
The ADI At-Home CPM (Cardiopulmonary Management) System is a non-invasive device that measures and trends a variety of biological parameters. This study will be conducted as a prospective non-randomized study with two study arms/cohorts - one of healthy adult patients, one of pathologic patients who fit into the intended use population of the CPM System.
Researchers are trying to develop innovative strategies that target the early identification heart and lung imbalances in patients with cardiopulmonary diseases.
The objective of this study is to investigate the cardiopulmonary health effects of indoor air purification and different indoor environmental factors among school students in Beijing.
This is a randomized controlled trial of the feasibility and utility of implementing a smartphone application (MVN) to maintain compliance with a Heart Healthy lifestyle after discharge from a cardiac outpatient rehabilitation program. Patients will be randomized into one of two groups: usual care (control: UC) or Movn mobile application (intervention: MVN). This study will improve and strengthen data collection from this at-risk patient population by recording baseline clinical and psycho social measures while gaining insight into self-reporting of physical activity and frequency between the UC and MVN groups.
Environmental toxins exert damaging health effects in workers. Thousands of responders who worked or volunteered on the World Trade Center (WTC) rescue and recovery effort following the September 11, 2001 attacks suffer from health conditions or may be at increased risk for worsening health. In a pilot study, investigators identified the first evidence of kidney damage in subjects with very high exposure at Ground Zero. Specifically, noted was a preliminary association between the intensity of particulate matter exposure and albuminuria, a marker of early chronic kidney disease (CKD), systemic endothelial dysfunction, and increased cardiovascular risk. The long-term goal is to minimize the risk of CKD and cardiovascular disease (CVD) among individuals exposed to inhaled toxins. The primary objective of this research is to quantify the risk of kidney damage among first responders to the WTC attack and to determine the relationship to particulate matter exposure as well as determine an association between renal and cardiovascular damage in first responders and to explore potential mechanisms. The central hypothesis is that exposure to inhaled particulate matter causes systemic inflammation and endothelial dysfunction that result in chronic kidney and cardiovascular damage. This hypothesis will be investigated in a subgroup of participants from a previously conducted NIOSH-funded study "Pulmonary Function Abnormalities, Diastolic Dysfunction and WTC Exposure: Implications for Diagnosis and Treatment" ("WTC-CHEST," PI Mary Ann McLaughlin). The proposed study will capitalize on unique resources in WTC-CHEST, including the standardized collection of data on particulate matter exposure and shared risk factors for CKD and cardiovascular disease, and cardiopulmonary function testing. The output from this proposal is anticipated to have a broad impact on understanding the health effects of inhaled particulate matter.
This is a study on a population of flight attendants who were exposed to occupational secondhand tobacco smoke (SHS). This research will examine associations between flight attendant SHS exposure and development of respiratory illnesses, reproductive problems, and cardiovascular diseases.
This project will evaluate the effects of World Trade Center (WTC) exposure in WTC responders 10-13 years following the events of 9/11. Prior studies have described persistent pulmonary function abnormalities in a significant portion of responders. The investigators study seeks to examine the relationship between pulmonary function abnormalities and other markers of chronic cardiopulmonary disease and further elucidate the pathophysiologic effects of exposure to inhaled particulate matter (PM) on 9/11. This study will provide critical information regarding risk of exposure to PM, risk factors for disease and potential for improvements in diagnosis and treatment.
