Filter by:To compare reduction of LDL-C and safety between 10mg rosuvastatin and 20mg atorvastatin after 6 weeks treatment
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate that 76 weeks of treatment with rosuvastatin calcium 2.5-20 mg results in no progression of coronary artery atherosclerotic volume as measured by intravascular ultrasonography (IVUS) imaging in hypercholesterolaemic subjects with coronary heart disease (CHD).
The aim of this study is to determine, whether an intensified atorvastatin therapy can improve monocyte function in patients with coronary artery disease and hypercholesterolemia.
In patients with primary hypercholesterolemia treated with a statin and with ldl-c above the recommended target goal (esc 2003 recommendations ldl>=1.15 g/l) to compare the efficacy and the safety of ezetrol added to ongoing statin and non drug therapeutic intervention (patient motivation on diet or physical activities or both).
This is a pilot study. The aim of the investigators' study is to evaluate the effectiveness of nigella sativa seed in the treatment of dyslipidemia. Dyslipidemia is a common risk factor for cardiovascular disease, the leading cause for morbidity and mortality among patients. Nigella sativa is an easily available and acceptable remedy to treat dyslipidemia and at a low cost. It is expected that by scientifically determining the effectiveness of this intervention it will lead to its widespread use. This will provide a low cost alternative to treat dyslipidemia.
This study is a long-term follow-up protocol for patients who participated in study NK-104-3.01EU or study NK-104-3.02EU.
The purpose of the ACCORD-BONE Study is to investigate the effects of intensive glycemic control for type 2 diabetes (in ACCORD participants) on factors related to bone health, including, fractures, falls, and bone mineral density.
We examined the effect of a patient-spouse intervention to lower LDL-C by increasing patient treatment adherence. A randomized controlled trial compared a one-year, telephone-based patient-spouse intervention to usual care. The primary outcome was LDL-C measured three times (baseline, 6 months, 11 months); secondary outcomes were adherence to medication, diet, and exercise, also assessed at baseline, 6 months, and 11 months.
This study is being conducted to compare the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of ezetimibe 10 mg coadministered with atorvastatin 10 mg versus atorvastatin 10 mg in Indonesian population with primary hypercholesterolemia.
The purpose of this study is to determine if improvements in mood will ameliorate autonomic dysregulation, HPA dysfunction and typical (e.g. lipids) and atypical risk factors in depressed patients with elevated cardiovascular risk (CVD). Up to 70, depressed participants with elevated cardiovascular risk factors were randomized to a cognitive behavioral intervention (CBT) or a waiting list control (WLC) condition. Twenty non-depressed age and risk-matched controls will also recruited. Traditional risk factors (e.g. lipids, blood pressure, heart rate), atypical risk factors (endothelial function, asymmetric dimethylarginine, C-reactive protein) will be measured pre and post treatment six months later Subjects will undergo a psychophysiological stress test while cardiovascular physiology was measured. Salivary cortisol will be measured during the day and during the psychological stress test. Depressed subjects will be randomized to a 16 week cognitive behavior therapy intervention or to a wait-list control. It is hypothesized that reduction in mood will be associated with reduction in typical and atypical risk factors.
