NCT ID: NCT05538819 Completed - Type 2 Diabetes Clinical Trials

The Effects of Glimepiride in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes and Chronic Heart Failure

EGPT2D&CHF
Start date: June 1, 2017
Phase:
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

Thirty years ago, Dzau and Braunwald introduced the concept of a continuum of cardiovascular diseases and defined them as a series of events caused by numerous related and unrelated risk factors, thus developing to end-stage heart disease through many pathophysiological pathways and processes. Owing to treatment concept changes and the urgency of investigating T2D combined with CHF, SUs are being re-evaluated, of which glimepiride is undoubtedly the most promising.

NCT ID: NCT03218020 Completed - Stroke Clinical Trials

Red Meat, Increased Iron Load and CVD Risk

Start date: September 1, 1994
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

Increased iron load could be a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Red meat consumption affects iron status and has also been shown to be related to increased CVD risk. The investigators hypothesized that risk associations between red meat intake and cardiovascular disease risk can to some degree be explained by higher iron load among individuals with higher meat intake. Thus, the investigators evaluate associations between red meat consumption, iron status, and CVD risk in a large-scale population based study, the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) - Heidelberg.

NCT ID: NCT01443780 Completed - Cardiac Function Clinical Trials

Intervention With Selenium and Q10 on Cardiovascular Mortality and Cardiac Function in the Elderly Population in Sweden

KiSel-10
Start date: January 2003
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The dietary supplements selenium and Q10 has been evaluated in a double blind placebo-controlled study in an elderly Swedish population. The hypothesis is that as a majority of Northern Europeans suffers insufficient levels of selenium that is used by the cell in the building of at least 25 different enzyme systems in the body, and that the cell need presence of Q10 in order to produce the selenium containing enzymes, we wanted to evaluate the effect of a combined intervention of the two supplements in an elderly population in Sweden. All participants were controlled every 6 months, and the intervention was 48 months in each participant. Besides blood samples, echocardiography and cardiac natriuretic peptides were analyzed at start, every 6 months and at end of the study.

NCT ID: NCT01168362 Completed - Clinical trials for Cardiovascular Diseases

Korea Atherosclerosis Study-3

KAS3
Start date: February 2006
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

Multidetector-row Computed Tomography (CT) has been introduced for use in the diagnosis of coronary heart disease. The investigators aimed to characterize coronary artery disease in subjects with cardiovascular risk or not, and in particular plaque natures depending on different status of cardiovascular risk. Especially,the investigators will evaluate the relationships between the pericardial fat and severity of stenosis as well as plaque characteristics using logistic regression models.

NCT ID: NCT00901355 Completed - Hypertension Clinical Trials

Predictive Values of Blood Pressure and Arterial Stiffness in Institutionalized Very Aged Population

PARTAGE
Start date: January 2007
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

Introduction: High blood pressure especially systolic hypertension is a common condition in the elderly and is considered as a major determinant not only of cardiovascular (CV) morbidity and mortality, but also of several other age-related diseases, frailty and loss of autonomy. Actually, the association between BP levels and morbidity and mortality in the very elderly persons with several co-morbidities remains a controversial issue Objectives: The aim of the PARTAGE study (Predictive values of blood pressure and arterial stiffness in institutionalized very aged population)is to determine the predictive value of blood pressure (BP) and arterial stiffness for overall mortality, major cardiovascular events and cognitive decline in a large population of institutionalized subjects aged 80 and over. Methods: The population is composed of 1130 subjects aged over 80, living in nursing home, included by four french university hospitals centre (Nancy, Dijon, Paris, Toulouse) and two Italian (Cesena, Verona). Subjects with severe dementia and a very low level of autonomy are excluded from the study During the first visit, blood pressure were measured using an automatic monitor by physician in sitting and standing position (clinical BP and Orthostatic BP) and by a self measurement of blood pressure 3 measurements, in the morning and the evening, during 3 consecutive days). Arterial stiffness is evaluated by measuring the carotid-femoral and carotid-radial pulse wave velocity (PWV) with the PulsePen® automatic device. Deaths and cardiovascular events are recorded during a follow-up of 2 years. The hypothesis of the PARTAGE longitudinal study is that in very elderly frail individuals with multiple co-morbidities, CV risk could be better evaluated by combining self-measurements of BP and direct evaluation of arterial stiffness which are less influenced by the above mentioned disease and co-morbidities.

NCT ID: NCT00710788 Completed - Clinical trials for Cardiovascular Mortality

Reduce Cardiovascular Calcifications to Reduce QT Interval in Dialysis

Independent
Start date: January 2007
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Research proposal to evaluate the impact of different phosphate binders on the progression of cardiovascular calcification and QT dispersion in new haemodialysis patients.
