Filter by:The research of clinical effectiveness assessment is to explore the causal relationship between treatment and outcome.Accordingly, based on the effectiveness of tan-yu treatment, the research takes the Resistant Hypertension (RH) as example to study the causal inference methods under real world.
Autonomic nerve function is involved in both blood pressure (BP) regulation and the pathogenesis of coronary artery spasm(CAS), but few studies have been published about the relationship between CAS and effect of BP lowering drugs in patients with hypertension. The purpose of this study is to investigate the incidence of CAS, atrioventricular (AV) block and effect of BP lowering drugs on CAS in hypertensive patients treated with BP lowering agents. The investigators will register consecutive patients who underwent coronary angiography with an acetylcholine (Ach)-induced provocation test. The investigators will include hypertensive patients who were taking antihypertensive drugs, and exclude patients who had a documented history of cardiovascular disease or who were not treated with antihypertensive agents. CAS is defined as >70% luminal narrowing on Ach provocation and /or concurrent chest pain. The study population will be divided into quartiles of rising systolic BP and diastolic BP. The incidence of Ach-induced CAS according to each systolic BP/diastolic BP quartile will be evaluated.
Autonomic nerve function is involved in both blood pressure (BP) regulation and the pathogenesis of coronary artery spasm (CAS), but few studies have been published about the relationship between CAS and BP, with the exception of studies that explore hypertension as a risk factor for CAS. The purpose of this study was to investigate the incidence of CAS and atrioventricular (AV) block in association with BP level. The investigators will register consecutive patients who underwent coronary angiography with an acetylcholine (Ach)-induced provocation test from November 2004 to May 2012. The investigators exclude from the patients who were taking antihypertensive drugs or who had a documented history of cardiovascular disease in order to avoid the confounding effects of cardiovascular medications on coronary vasomotion. CAS is defined as >70% luminal narrowing on Ach provocation and /or concurrent chest pain. The study population will be divided into quartiles of rising systolic BP and diastolic BP. The incidence of Ach-induced CAS according to each systolic BP/diastolic BP quartile will be evaluated.
Catheter-based renal sympathetic modification has been documented to be effective option for blood pressure control in patients with resistant hypertension, but the safety is still concerned around worldwide. Based on anatomic findings, blocking renal sympathetic nerves at proximity may be enough for successful renal sympathetic modifications. This study was designed to compare the efficacy and safety of full length versus proximal ablation of bilateral renal arteries.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of repeated renal denervation in non-responding patients with severe hypertension. Therefore ultrasound technique will be used.
The contribution of this study is the unedited evaluation of the circadian autonomic profiles of resistant hypertension with and without white-coat response.
The Re-Shape CV-Risk Study is a clinical study where renal adrenergic denervation (RDN) is done in high risk patients with treatment-resistant hypertension. RDN is a mini-invasive, percutaneous technique where an ablation catheter is inserted through a femoral artery into the renal arteries, for destruction of the adrenergic nerve bundles in the artery adventitia by means of radio-frequency ablation. RDN leads to sympathetic denervation of the kidneys, which in the "Symplicity trials" led to an impressive reduction of blood pressure (- 33 /-11 mmHg). In a pilot study, where 40 % of the patients had diabetes, RDN seemed to have beneficial effects not only on blood pressure, but also on insulin sensitivity and hyperinsulinaemia. The investigators aim to introduce RDN as a clinical study where blood pressure reduction and methodical, technical aspects will be evaluated, but more importantly, also additional effects of RDN on sub-clinical organ damage (endothelial function, vascular stiffness, fundus-, heart-, kidney injury), quality of life, arrhythmia, and glucose metabolism. The investigators hypothesis is that RDN will have positive effect on glucose metabolism, QOL and sub-clinical organ damage.
The DENER-HTN study is a, multicenter, prospective, open, randomized, controlled study of the effectiveness and costs of renal denervation in addition to standardized medical treatment compared to medical treatment alone in subjects with resistant hypertension. Bilateral renal denervation will be performed using the Symplicity Catheter - a percutaneous system that delivers radiofrequency (RF) energy through the luminal surface of the renal artery.
The Covidien OneShotâ„¢ ablation system use is to deliver low-level radio frequency (RF) energy through the wall of the renal artery to denervate the human kidney.
Recent studies indicate that primary aldosteronism (PA) is a much more common cause of hypertension than had been demonstrated historically. In patients with resistant hypertension, the prevalence of PA from different clinics worldwide is about 10-20%. As has been no such data in China, the investigators are conducting a PA study in different province of China to evaluate the prevalence of PA in patients with resistant hypertension.
