Filter by:To test the efficacy of intravenous gamma globulin (IVGG) in preventing coronary artery aneurysms in children with Kawasaki Syndrome.
To determine the effects in moderately obese subjects of weight loss by combined dieting and exercise training on risk factors for coronary artery disease including lipoprotein lipids, apoproteins and blood pressure.
To determine whether electrophysiologic study (EPS) or Holter monitoring (HM) was the better method for selecting effective long-term antiarrhythmic drug therapy in patients with sustained ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation, or an episode of aborted sudden death.
To determine the benefits and risks of oral anticoagulant therapy in reducing embolic stroke and systemic emboli in patients with atrial fibrillation without rheumatic heart disease.
To determine if enalapril treatment of left ventricular dysfunction (LVD) due to ischemic or hypertensive heart disease led to reduced mortality and morbidity in symptomatic and asymptomatic patients. There were a Prevention Trial, a Treatment Trial, and a registry.
To determine the effects on blood pressure of dietary intervention, restricting caloric intake to 600 calories per day for 16 weeks compared to a control diet of 1200 calories per day in obese hypertensives. Secondary aims included a study of psychological characteristics at baseline and during the weight loss and maintenance phases of the study.
The primary objective was to assess whether long-term administration of antihypertensive therapy to elderly subjects with isolated systolic hypertension reduced the combined incidence of fatal and non-fatal stroke. The secondary objectives were to evaluate: the effect of long-term antihypertensive therapy on mortality from any cause in elderly people with isolated systolic hypertension; possible adverse effects of chronic use of antihypertensive drug treatment in this population; the effect of therapy on indices of quality-of-life; the natural history of isolated systolic hypertension in the placebo population.
The objective of the Trial of Antihypertensive Intervention Management (TAIM) was to determine the efficacy of dietary management and/or drug therapy, namely thiazide-like diuretics or a beta-blocker, in the control of mild hypertension. Additionally, the Continuation of the Trial of Antihypertensive Intervention Management (COTAIM) tested the effects of long-term weight reduction, and sodium/potassium changes added to weight reduction, as well as the original drug treatment, on the failure rate of blood pressure control.
To compare the effects of two intensive lipid-lowering regimens with conventional therapy on coronary atherosclerosis as assessed by arteriography.
To test the efficacy of omega-3 fatty acids in untreated mild hypertensives and magnesium, calcium, and potassium supplementation supplementation in non-hypertensives. These clinical trials were conducted in sequence over a four year period.
