Filter by:To test whether specific genes affect lipoprotein and weight responses to vigorous exercise in identical twins.
To clarify the effects of estrogen, with or without progestin, on high density lipoprotein (HDL) in postmenopausal women.
To investigate the role of genetics in cardiorespiratory fitness, obesity, and risk of hypertension.
Primary objective is to assess the effect of nesiritide in decreasing left ventricular (LV) filling pressure, defined as pulmonary artery capillary wedge pressure (PCWP) in a group of patients admitted with acute diastolic heart failure. Secondary objectives include: improvement in symptoms, exercise tolerance, improvement in Doppler diastolic filling parameters in patients with diastolic heart failure.
To characterize the genetic basis of the variable response of triglycerides to two environmental contexts, one that raises triglycerides (dietary fat), and one that lowers triglycerides (fenofibrate treatment.)
This study will compare medical therapy plus stenting of hemodynamically significant renal artery stenoses versus medical therapy alone in patients with systolic hypertension and renal artery stenosis.
To measure the association between estrogen receptor variants and the extent of atherosclerosis in the thoracic and abdominal aorta and the right coronary artery in subjects in the PDAY study.
To relate cardiac structure and blood pressure (BP) elevation in adults to childhood BP and body size and composition.
To further characterize the nature of the association between socioeconomic status (SES), health behaviors and early cardiovascular disease in the Vietnam Era Twin (VET) Registry, a sample of over 4,000 twin pairs.
To use a new statistical method, the Logical Analysis of Data (LAD), to predict cardiac surgery risk.
