Filter by:The Nordic Diet is a dietary pattern rich in traditional Nordic foods, including berries, grains, and fatty fish common in northern Europe. Studies have shown a protective effect of the Nordic Diet on cardiometabolic risk factors, however only select clinical practice guidelines for the management of diabetes (i.e. Diabetes Canada) recommend this dietary pattern. To support the update of the EASD clinical practice guidelines for nutrition therapy, the investigators propose to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies and clinical trials to investigate the association between the Nordic Diet, cardiometabolic outcomes and cardiovascular disease incidence and mortality. The findings generated by this proposed knowledge synthesis will help improve the health of consumers through informing evidence-based guidelines and improving health outcomes by educating healthcare providers and patients, stimulating industry innovation, and guiding future research design.
The IMPACT Registry represents a non-interventional, prospective, open-label, multicenter, international registry with a follow-up of 5 years that includes data of patients undergoing aortic valve replacement with the Edwards INSPIRIS RESILIA Aortic Valve™. The IMPACT Registry will be performed in up to 25 participating sites across Germany, Austria and Switzerland. A minimum number of 500 patients (20 patients per center) will be enrolled. Patients will undergo follow-up visits at baseline, surgery, pre-discharge, year 1, year 3 and year 5.
High blood pressure (BP) is a major public health concern, especially in low and middle income countries. High BP is a highly prevalent condition, and it is usually associated with diabetes mellitus. Both high BP and diabetes are risk factors for major cardiovascular events including cardiovascular death, acute myocardial infarction, stroke, unstable angina and heart failure. In addition, high BP is also related to cognitive decline. The OPTIMAL-DIABETES trial consists of a two-arm, multicenter, randomized clinical trial designed to test whether a lower systolic blood pressure (SBP) target will reduce the occurrence of major cardiovascular events in diabetic patients compared to the standard SBP target.
This study is designed as a repository study to collect resting cardiac phase signals and subject meta data from eligible subjects using the Phase Signal Recorder (PSR) prior to Right Heart Cath (RHC). The repository data will be used for the purposes of research, development, optimization and testing of machine-learning algorithms developed by CorVista Health (formerly Analytics 4 Life).
This is a pivotal phase 3 study designed to support an indication for the reduction of cardiovascular risk in patients with established CVD and elevated Lp(a)
The study plans to learn if sending different text messages, serving as reminders or encouragement, may help patients take their medication more often if they have had trouble keeping up with their medicines.
This study evaluates whether addition of the thromboxane receptor antagonist to chronic aspirin therapy improves endothelial function and reduces non-platelet thromboxane generation in patients with established cardiovascular disease. Half of participants will receive ifetroban and the other half will receive matchcing placebo for the 4 week study period.
Annually 13000 Norwegians experience an ischemic stroke. The number of stroke is anticipated to increase with 50% within 2030 due to a growing number of elderly. Many of them will have severe function deficits and reduced quality of life. The investigators have established a cohort consisting of 800 patients with first time ischemic stroke treated at hospitals in Central Norway. The investigators want to study the incidence and prognostic markers for death, recurrent stroke and severe functional deficits during a period of 10 years after the initial ischemic stroke. The investigators want to focus on the impact of physical functioning, the level of physical activity and use of medication for secondary prevention on the incidence of death, recurrent stroke and severe functional deficits. The investigators are especially interested in the importance of fulfilling the treatment targets for blood pressure and cholesterol and the importance of smoking cessation in stroke survivors. Our objective is to improve todays stroke treatment and achieve a more efficient use of the health resources in order to increase survival after stroke maintaining a good physical and psychological function and quality of life.
Women with a history of preeclampsia (PE) have increased risk of hypertension and cardiovascular disease (CVD) later in life. Thus, PE is acknowledged as an independent risk factor for CVD, which is the number one cause of death in women in the western part of the world. Objective: The purpose of this study is to investigate 1) the prevalence of CVD after PE, 2) which women have the highest risk of developing CVD, 3) when early stages of CVD can be detected in women with previous PE and 4) how CVD progress over time. Methods: 1000 women with previous PE between the age of 35-55 years will be invited to participate in a follow-up study consisting of anthropometric measurements, blood pressure measurement, urine- and blood samples, cardiac CT-scan and questionnaires. Coronary atherosclerosis will be evaluated using CT imaging.The women will be compared with women with a formerly uncomplicated pregnancy, Summary: The study will provide new important information to guide future clinical follow-up, and potentially prevent disease and early death in a large group of women with a history of PE.
COORDINATE-Diabetes is a cluster-randomized clinical trial to test the effectiveness of an innovative, clinic-level educational intervention to improve the management of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease.
