Filter by:A prospective, open label, multi-center, single arm, observational study designed to evaluate the acute safety and device performance of the Sapphire 3 0.85, 1.0 and 1.25mm diameter coronary dilatation catheter in predilatation of Chronic Total Occlusion (CTO) lesions during percutaneous coronary intervention. One hundred seventy (170) subjects will be enrolled with a target of one hundred fifty-three (153) evaluable subjects by the angiographic core laboratory at up to 15 clinical sites with the Sapphire 3 0.85, 1.0 and 1.25mm diameter PTCA dilatation catheter to pre-dilate CTO lesions in coronary arteries during their index procedure. All subjects will be screened according to the protocol inclusion and exclusion criteria and will be followed through study completion, which is defined as 24-hours post-procedure or hospital discharge, whichever comes first.
Epicardial fat thickness, carotid intima-media thickness, and augmentation index from arterial stiffness indicators are increased in children with T1DM compared to the healthy control group. These results support the idea that children with T1DM present significant changes in important subclinical indicators for the development of cardiovascular disease.
Bacoxy_I study aims to evaluate the efficacy of a standardized Bacopa monnieri extract, Bacopa-400®, on vascular oxidative stress.
The CONNECT: "Developing a learning COmmunity to increase eNgagemeNt and Enrollment in cardiovascular Clinical Trials" is comprehensive, participant-centered learning community that provides tailored education on cardiovascular (CV) health and research participation; connects community members to CV-related research; and disseminates CV-related study findings. The overreaching goal of CONNECT is to improve participation of underrepresented communities in CV research, including as women, Black adults, and Latino adults, through increasing participants' clinical trial awareness, trust in biomedical research, and willingness to participate in clinical trials. CONNECT will use digital and community-engaged approaches to identify and recruit 1000 adults with cardiovascular disease or a cardiovascular disease risk factor to join CONNECT. Participants who join CONNECT will receive tailored educational information on CV health and research participation via text message. Participants will also have the opportunity to be matched to ongoing CV research studies based on basic demographic information and areas of interest. The educational information will be sent to participants for 12 months. The investigators hypothesize that CONNECT will increase participants' clinical trial awareness, trust, and willingness to participate in clinical trials and that the proportion of Black and Latin adults and women enrolled in trials that partner with CONNECT will be higher following the use of CONNECT for recruitment.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test two advices on alcohol drinking in more than 10.000 Spanish adult drinkers (men of 50 or more years and women of 55 or more years). The main question it aims to answer is to test the non-inferiority advice of a moderate alcohol drinking pattern on all-cause mortality and other chronic disease like cardiovascular disease, cancer or type 2 diabetes. Participants will receive during 4 years an advice to drink alcohol following a Mediterranean Alcohol Drinking Pattern (MADP): consuming alcohol in moderation, avoidance of binge drinking and preference for red wine. Researchers will compare those who will receive a MADP advice with those who will receive an advice on abstention to see if the advice on MADP is not inferior than the abstention advice to prevent all-cause mortality and other chronic diseases.
Heart failure (HF) is a global, public health issue that affects more than 63 million people worldwide; this burden is expected to increase substantially as the population ages. Despite advancements in treatment, a HF diagnosis still leads to significant morbidity and mortality; there is also an immense impact on patients' health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Dapagliflozin was recently granted approval for heart failure by the European Commission, regardless of ejection fraction and whether the patient has diabetes. Real-world observational data are necessary to describe dapagliflozin use in real-world settings in order to assess treatment patterns, HF symptoms and their impact on physical limitation, HRQoL and work productivity, as well as health care utilization of patients treated with dapagliflozin in this setting under local treatment standard conditions in Germany.
The goal of this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial is to investigate the immunological effects of influenza vaccination outside of the influenza season on arterial inflammation in patients with a recent acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The primary objective is to compare the effects of influenza vaccination to those of a placebo in reducing post-myocardial infarction coronary inflammation as measured by coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA). The main questions it aims to answer are: Does influenza vaccination reduce arterial inflammation as measured by CCTA at week 8 after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in comparison to baseline? Does influenza vaccination modulate systemic inflammation as measured by blood biomarkers and in-vitro challenge tests at week 8 after PCI in comparison to baseline? Researchers will compare the effects of influenza vaccination with those of a placebo.
The association between Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) and Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is well established. Traditional risk factors for CVD and CKD are similar, with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) being the most prevalent risk factor. However, CKD is underdiagnosed and undertreated in patients with CVD. Further understanding of the combination of CKD in CVD patients is important to formulate prevention and treatment strategies for CVD patients and high-risk groups, reduce adverse events in CVD patients, and prevent progression of CKD to End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD).
POWER Health is a randomized clinical trial with a two-arm parallel design whose objectives are 1) to study metabolic flexibility and autonomic function (both capacities that describe cardiovascular health) in a sample of postmenopausal oncological women vs postmenopausal untreated controls (CT); and 2) to analyze the impact of two different 8-week physical exercise supervised interventions: HIIT training vs strength training focused on muscle power, on both cardiovascular capacities in these populations.
The study conducted a health survey among Thai adults in 2022 and found a significant increase in obesity and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), leading to metabolic-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). The prevalence of NAFLD was 19.7%, with higher rates in individuals with metabolic syndrome and diabetes. MASLD is associated with insulin resistance and genetic polymorphisms, particularly the patatin like phospholipase domain containing 3-rs738409 variant. Additionally, physical activity was inversely related to liver disease risk, with higher step counts associated with reduced incidence of NAFLD and liver-related mortality. The study aims to investigate the impact of dietary advice and pedometer use on physical activity levels and health outcomes in MASLD patients over 24 weeks.
