To leverage access to patients across the primary care network, EPIC tools for identifying eligible patients, and the Way to Health platform to launch and enroll a program that will be evaluated in a clinical trial that is focused on changing patient behavior and powered to detect differences in improving blood pressure and cholesterol over 6 months for Penn Medicine patients in West/Southwest Philadelphia and Lancaster.
Lower attainment of cardiovascular health (CVH), indicated by the American Heart Association's Life's Simple 7 (LS7; physical activity, diet, cholesterol, blood pressure, body mass index, smoking, glycemia) and Life's Essential 8 (LE8; LS7+sleep) metrics, is a major contributor to Black men having the shortest life-expectancy of any non-indigenous race/sex group. Unfortunately, a paucity of literature exists on interventions aimed at improving CVH among Black men. The team of clinician scientists and community partners co-developed a community-based lifestyle intervention titled Black Impact: a 24-week intervention for Black men with less-than-ideal CVH (<4 LS7 metrics in the ideal range) with 45 minutes of weekly physical activity, 45 minutes of weekly health education, and engagement with a health coach, group fitness trainer, and community health worker. Single-arm pilot testing of the intervention (n=74) revealed high feasibility, acceptability, and retention and a 0.93 (95% confidence interval: 0.40, 1.46, p<0.001) point increase in LS7 score at 24 weeks. Secondary outcomes included improvements in psychosocial stress (i.e., perceived stress, depressive symptoms), patient activation, and social needs. Thus, robustly powered clinical trials are needed to determine the efficacy of Black Impact and to evaluate the underlying interpersonal and molecular pathways by which Black Impact improves psychosocial stress and CVH. Thus, the investigators propose a randomized, wait-list controlled trial of Black Impact. This novel, community-based intervention to provide a scalable model to improve CVH and psychosocial stress at the population level and evaluate the biological underpinnings by which the intervention mitigates cardiovascular disease risk. The proposed study aligns with American Heart Association's commitment to addressing CVH equity through innovative, multi-modal solutions.
This study seeks to expand the approved indication of use for a UKCA approved IVD device. PocDoc lipids is approved for professional use to measure the levels of lipids in a fingerprick blood samples. This study will investigate the usability of the device by untrained lay people in order to expand the device's utility to the self-test setting.
Developed nations worldwide are currently enduring a health crisis, as chronic diseases continue to decrease quality of life and promote additional disease states or even death for much of the population. Rural populations are at a particular disadvantage, as they lack access to health clubs, wellness programs and similar resources that are more available in urban areas. Although pharmaceutical therapies have continued to show therapeutic advancements, the rates of disease onset and death from chronic disease has not seen similar improvements, and in fact continue to worsen. Excitingly, significant evidence has been published demonstrating an affordable, effective treatment to directly treat and prevent these chronic diseases, but few have demonstrated successful implementation of this therapy, which is improved lifestyle. Specifically, physical activity and healthy body composition are powerful therapeutics that have been demonstrated to effectively combat and prevent chronic diseases. Additionally, improving these lifestyle factors are often more effective than pharmaceutical interventions without the wide range of side effects. Unfortunately, barriers exist on multiple tiers in the practice of family medicine that demote the implementation of lifestyle medicine. To better serve patients at risk of, or suffering from chronic disease, the investigators are seeking to establish a lifestyle medicine prescription program for rural West Virginia. This program will provide patient education on the benefits of physical activity, body composition, and help patients identify strategies to implement healthy lifestyle choices that can be sustainable for the long-term. Patients will be advised on local opportunities to increase physical activity (yoga studio, martial arts, fitness facilities, aquatic center, etc.) and provided access to the facilities they are most likely to adhere to regularly. They will also be provided training on exercise techniques, equipment, and facilities to increase familiarity and comfort in these settings.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetcs and pharmacodynamics of single-dose of JS401 in healthy volunteers with normal or mildly elevated triglycerides.
This single-arm trial of the Cardiovascular Risk Reduction Among People Experiencing Homelessness (CV-Homes) intervention alone (n=8) will test the perception and feasibility of anticipated study procedures.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the telehealth integrated care model for its clinical efficacy, medical resource utilization, health economics measurement, and satisfaction survey indicators in hyperlipidemia patients and other cardiometabolic diseases. The result of the study will provide evidence for the value of integrated model in the treatment of patients with cardiometabolic syndrome.
Nutraceutical lipid-lowering interventions are becoming increasingly popular, particularly among patients who are intolerant or refractory to prescription statins, or who desire alternative non-conventional pharmacological treatment to manage their dyslipidaemia, whether they previously experienced statin intolerance or not. A growing body of preclinical and clinical evidence suggest that the amla (Emblica officinalis) red yeast rice (RYR), olive and walnut leaf extracts posses consideable hpolipidaemic pharmacological effects.
This study explores the efficacy of domestic adlay in improving blood sugar and lipids metabolism, cardiovascular function, and weight control in people with high blood pressure, hyperlipidemia, and hyperglycemia. Through two weeks of cooked adlay-rice and white rice by a randomized cross-over design to evaluate the lipid- and glucose-lowering effects of adlay on patient with hyperlipidemia and/or hyperglycemia.
