Filter by:Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in the UK and worldwide with low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) being one of the most important modifiable risk factors. Physical activity is inexpensive and research shows that it consistently improves high density lipoprotein and triglyceride concentrations. However, fails to improve LDL-C concentrations. Preliminary research suggests fasted exercise could potentially improve LDL-C concentrations. The majority of research in these areas have also mostly been done in males with the results generalised to females. As it is known that lipid metabolism and CVD risk is different between sexes it is possible that the response to fasted exercise may also be different between sexes. This aim of this study is to assess the effect of physical activity performed before or after a meal on plasma LDL-C concentrations in men and women and explore sex differences. The study will also assess the effect of fasted exercise on other CVD risk factors.
To evaluate and compare the change of plaque composition by VH-IVUS imaging in subjects who take NXT and placebo in post-PCI of AMI patients during 12 months follow-up.
In this study, the investigators are interested in learning how patients feel about and are impacted by a new approach for the primary care team to use to talk to patients about heart disease and health behaviors. The investigators are looking to recruit around 40 Veterans from Buffalo and Syracuse to be in this study. What it will entail is being randomly assigned to one of two conditions. If patients are assigned to the first condition, their upcoming primary care appointment will be extended by about 5 minutes because a Health Educator will join the end of that appointment. If they are assigned to the second condition they would have their typical primary care appointment. Beyond that, both conditions are quite similar. They will have an individual meeting following the primary care appointment with the Health Educator, two phone booster meetings at 2 and 4 weeks, and information about an optional app that they have the choice to use to help them track some health behaviors.

To assess the impact of Fill Mouth Scaling and Root planing or Quadrant Scaling and Root planing gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) levels of miRNA 7a-5p, miRNA 21-3p, miRNA 21-5p, miRNA 100-5p, miRNA 125-5p, miRNA 200b-3p and miRNA 200b-5p and their correlation with periodontitis extent.
The REDUCE-IT Canada SA Study is a cross-sectional study aiming to determine the proportion of study participants who meet the Health Canada-approved indication for icosapent ethyl (IPE;Vascepa®).
Specify the risk rate of incorrect patient classification based on night-to-day ratio specification from singular 24-h ABPM in comparison to the results of 7-day ABPM monitoring
The overall objective of the Cholesterol Lowering via Bempedoic Acid/Ezetimibe, an ACL-Inhibiting Regimen in Acute Coronary Syndrome ACS (CLEAR ACS) study is to determine the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of bempedoic acid/ezetimibe (BA/E) in a contemporary and real-world population, enriched for older adults, women, and underrepresented racial/ethnic groups, of adults with a recent acute coronary syndrome (ACS) event independent of use of statin therapy before the ACS event.
We hypothesize that the combination of a nutritional education intervention with a HIIT-based physical exercise program improve muscle metabolism through positive modifications of gut microbiota in people with T2DM, leading to better glycaemia/insulinaemia levels, reduction of body fat mass and improving quality of life. The project is a randomized controlled clinical trial in 120 participants with T2DM and obesity, which aims to determine the efficacy of a nutritional education program and the role of physical exercise type on health related variables. The participants will be of both sexes with age between 40 and 55 years, belonging to the Province of Cádiz. The design has two 12-week interventions; the main factor has 2 levels: participants who receive the nutritional education (EDU) and controls (CG); the second factor has 3 levels: high-intensity interval training (HIIT), moderate intensity continuous training (MICT), and controls (INACT). Therefore, participants will be randomized into 6 groups (n=20), adjusted by gender (≈50% in each group): EDU+HIIT, EDU+MICT, EDU+INACT, CG+HIIT, CG+MICT, CG+INACT. The outcome variables, which will be measured before and after the intervention, will include: dietary intake assessment, physical activity assessment, quality of life, faecal samples, blood samples, blood pressure, appetite assessment, muscle biopsy samples, body composition and fluids, basal metabolism, maximal fat oxidation test and cardiorespiratory fitness.
This study aims at investigating the feasibility of recruitment and application of a method regarding early detection of subclinical changes in cardiac health after completion of acute cancer treatment during childhood and adolescence.
