Filter by:To determine the effect in men and postmenopausal women with elevated LDL-cholesterol and low HDL-cholesterol of an exercise regimen with or without the National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) Step Two diet compared to usual care control group on HDL- and LDL-cholesterol.
To determine whether lowering of cholesterol with cholestyramine in a population with Type II hyperlipidemia led to a decreased rate of progression (a regression of coronary artery disease) as demonstrated by death, myocardial infarction, or progression of disease on angiography.
To determine if the combined incidence of nonfatal myocardial infarction and coronary heart disease death differs between diuretic-based and each of three alternative antihypertensive pharmacological treatments. Also, to determine, in a subset of this population, if lowering serum cholesterol with a HMG CoA reductase inhibitor in older adults reduces all-cause mortality compared to a control group receiving usual care. Conducted in conjunction with the Department of Veterans' Affairs.
To determine if the increase in low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol at the time of menopause could be ameliorated or prevented by an intensive dietary intervention. Also, to prevent the increase in body weight and associated changes in insulin, glucose, blood pressure, triglycerides, and high density lipoprotein cholesterol during the peri- to postmenopausal period.
To conduct a pilot study to determine whether lowering elevated serum cholesterol levels with 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-glutaryl coenzyme A (HMG CoA) reductase inhibitors reduced mortality due to the sequelae of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease in older men and women.
To assess long-term effects of a strict lifestyle change program on lipids, blood pressure, myocardial perfusion, and coronary atherosclerosis.
To assess the effects of various postmenopausal estrogen replacement therapies on selected cardiovascular risk factors, including high density lipoprotein cholesterol, systolic blood pressure, fibrinogen, and insulin and on osteoporosis risk factors. Conducted in collaboration with the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases, The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, and the National Institute on Aging. The extended follow-up is for 3 years focusing on endometrium and breast evaluation.
To assess the feasibility, acceptability, efficacy, and safety of dietary intervention in free-living children ages 8-10 with elevated low density lipoprotein cholesterol levels.
