Filter by:To measure the effects of lipid-lowering drugs and/or antioxidant vitamins on progression or regression of coronary heart disease as measured by quantitative angiography in patients with low high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol.
To test if early revascularization, primarily with angioplasty (PTCA) or bypass surgery (CABG), reduced all-cause in-hospital mortality from cardiogenic shock compared to conventional treatment, including thrombolysis.
To develop and evaluate the effectiveness of various intervention approaches, delivered in primary health-care settings, in increasing and maintaining habitual physical activity and cardiorespiratory fitness among sedentary men and women patients.
To evaluate the impact of community educational interventions on patient delay time from onset of symptoms and signs of an acute myocardial infarction (AMI) to arrival at a hospital Emergency Department (ED).

To evaluate the effectiveness of stress reduction with Transcendental Meditation (TM) on left ventricular hypertrophy, left ventricular function, blood pressure, psychosocial stress and quality of life, and cardiovascular disease risk factors.
To implement a culturally appropriate school-based, multicenter, randomized trial that promotes healthful eating behaviors and increases physical activity to prevent obesity in pre-adolescent upper elementary American Indian students.
To test the effectiveness of dietary patterns in lowering blood pressure.
To determine of providing calcium supplementation to women with pre-existing hypertension reduces the level of blood pressure, requirement for antihypertensive drugs, and incidence of pre-eclampsia.
