Filter by:The primary purpose of study is to estimate the incidence and comparative effect on health outcomes: 1) hospitalization for heart failure, 2) below knee lower extremity amputation. The date of first exposure to the particular drug(s) in the database, where the exposure start is between 1-April-2013 to 15-May-2017 and outcome data for these participants will be analyzed and reported in this study.
The study will evaluate the effectiveness of a co-developed exercise referral scheme. Participants will be recruited to one of three groups 1. Co-developed exercise referral scheme, 2. Usual care exercise referral scheme, 3. No treatment control (no intervention). The study will measure effectiveness by observing change in cardiorespiratory fitness at 12 weeks. Intervention cost-effectiveness will also be evaluated at 3 months follow-up using objective physical activity data.
Uptake of a community-based evidence-supported interventions for hypertension control in Ghana are urgently needed to address the cardiovascular disease epidemic and resulting illness, deaths, and societal costs. This study will evaluate the effect of Practice Facilitation on the uptake and maintenance of the evidence-based task-shifting strategies for hypertension control (TASSH) protocol across 70 Community-based Health Planning and Services (CHPS) zones delivered by trained community health officers. Findings from this study will provide policy makers and other stakeholders the "how to do it" empirical literature on the uptake of evidence-based interventions in Ghana, which may be applicable to other low-income countries.
The purpose is to evaluate the effect of single therapeutic (400 mg) and supratherapeutic (1200 mg) doses of BIA 5-1058 on the time-matched change from baseline in placebo-adjusted interval corrected (QT) for heart rate (HR)
Patients with COPD (chronic bronchitis and/or emphysema) are known to be at an increased risk of heart disease and death due to heart attacks. There are several possible reasons for this, one of which is an increased tendency of the blood to clot, that can give rise to blood clot formation in the coronary arteries, and lead to heart attack. Medications such as Aspirin and another new blood thinning tablet called Ticagrelor are already used for patients with heart attacks. Given that patients with COPD are at higher risk of heart attack, the investigators wish to see if these tablets that can prevent blood clot formation in heart arteries might also prevent heart attacks happening in COPD patients. The investigators hope to understand the effects by measuring clotting and inflammation in the blood. All patients will be followed up for 6-months. In addition the investigators wish to study COPD patients who do not have a high risk of developing future heart problems using the QRISK score to study their well being over a 1 year period to see if they might also benefit from blood thinning medications.
The purpose of the study was to investigate the potential interaction between ivabradine and bisoprolol in healthy subjects.
Purpose: The overall hypothesis of the study is that the benefits attained in the EMPA-OUTCOME were, at least in part, mediated by a glucose-independent mechanism. Thus, to demonstrate the existence of the postulated non-glucose dependent effects, the researchers will investigate the safety and efficacy of empagliflozin versus placebo on top of guideline-directed medical therapy in heart failure patients with reduced ejection fraction without diabetes.
Patients with coronary or other atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and those at high risk of developing cardiovascular disease have been defined as the highest clinical priorities for prevention
In this pilot study, the investigators will assess the clinical utility and feasibility of the Healthy Heart Score in the primary clinical care setting for the primordial prevention of cardiovascular disease. The investigators will conduct a randomized clinical trial to test the lifestyle intervention based on the Healthy Heart Score compared to usual care. The aim is to include 100 participants (50 in each group). Each participant will complete 2 visits (initial and a follow up visit after 12 weeks).
The purpose of this study is to determine that effects of an intervention called High-resolution, relational, resonance-based, electroencephalic mirroring (HIRREM), on Stage 1 Primary Hypertension (systolic BP 130-139, and/or diastolic BP 80-89).
