Filter by:Fish oil contains a large amount of long-chain omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, which are considered an important component of a healthy diet. As many patients do not eat fish, supplementation with fish oil is a common strategy to provide sufficient amounts of these particular fatty acids in daily life. Fish oil supplementation has been investigated for decades for its cardio-protective effects and its ability to lower serum triglycerides. People with diabetes mellitus have an increased risk for cardiovascular events and show alterations in lipids with high triglycerides. Whether there is a benefit of fish oil supplementation in this high risk group remains unclear with major international diabetes associations recommending against the use of fish oil supplements. The European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) has not made any recommendations about the use of fish oils in people with diabetes since 2004. To inform the update of the EASD clinical practice guidelines for nutrition therapy, the Diabetes and Nutrition Study Group (DNSG) of the EASD has commissioned the proposed systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials of the effect of fish oil supplementation on cardiovascular outcomes in people with diabetes and use the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) approach to assess the certainty of the evidence.
Height and weight are important informations in clinical life. Medication is dosed by them and weight, especially overweight, is a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. Mostly you have to rely on the self-reported informations, because there is plenty of work and little time to weigh and measure every patient. But can the investigators really trust this informations? Former studies have shown, that most of self-reported heights and weights differ from the measured ones. This fact might lead to a wrong dosage of medicine or underestimated risk factors. So the Cardial-MASS-Study tries to detect influencing factors on the reliability of self-reported informations especially among patients, treated at the cardiological department at Saarland University.
This study will find the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of CYNK-001 which contain NK cells derived from human placental CD34+ cells and culture-expanded. CYNK-001 cells will be given post Autologous Stem Cell Transplant (ASCT). The safety of this treatment will be evaluated, and researchers will want to learn if NK cells will help in treating Multiple Myeloma.
A randomized patient-oriented trial to investigate whether continual symptomatic use of the Kardia Mobile monitoring device is a superior strategy for diagnosing Atrial Fibrillation (AF) in comparison to normal ambulatory monitoring with a 24-hour Holter monitor. Patients with referrals to an Electrophysiologist, symptoms of AF but no documentation of AF, and with at least one stroke risk factor based on the CHADS2 scoring system are randomized 1:1 to Kardia Mobile monitoring versus Holter monitoring alone.
The REPLICA TRIAL tries to assess the intracoronary lithotripsy safety and efficacy profiles in real-world patients with calcified coronary artery disease.
Cardiovascular disease is responsible for a quarter of all deaths in the UK and risk seems to be higher in cardiac rehabilitation (CR) with lower body weight which may be due to sarcopenci obesity (SO) or low muscle mass with high fat mass. The investigators aim to investigate the effect of a high protein Mediterranean diet and resistance exercise on improving lean mass and reducing risk markers of cardiovascular disease
We propose to conduct a systematic literature review and meta-analysis to assess the association of low-calorie sweetened beverages (LCSBs) on cardiometabolic outcomes in prospective cohort studies. We will be using methodological approaches (change in LCSBs intake, and/or substitution analysis) that attempt to overcome the issue of reverse causality associated with studies of LCSBs and cardiometabolic disease. Ten cardiometabolic outcomes will be assessed: 1. Global adiposity - body weight 2. Global adiposity - BMI 3. Global adiposity - body fat 4. Abdominal adiposity - waist circumference 5. Overweight/obesity incidence 6. Metabolic syndrome incidence 7. Type 2 diabetes incidence 8. Cardiovascular disease incidence 9. Cardiovascular disease mortality 10. Total mortality
CADKID-study is a prospective follow-up study assessing arterial disease, quality of life, mortality and their predictors in patients with severe chronic kidney disease.
Prospective, multi-center study to assess safety and performance of the Edwards EVOQUE Tricuspid Valve Replacement System
The MANDATE-AF study was designed to address evidence needs in India for device-based management of AF using AT/AF (Atrial Tachycardia/Atrial fibrillation) diagnostic features and therapies such as Reactive Atrial anti tachycardia Pacing (rATP) within Medtronic Cardiac Implantable Electronic Devices (CIED)and its impact on the time to persistent AF and progression of AT/AF.
