Filter by:Levacalm Tab. was approved in Jul 2013 by MFDS in South Korea. Levacalm Tab. is combination drug of Valsartan as an angiotensin II receptor blocker and Lercanidipine as a Calcium channel blocker. It is a new drug of combination of Valsartan and Lercanidipine. Thus, there's no enough safety data and efficacy data defined from the clinical study. Also, many combination drugs of valsartaa and amlodipine are widely used in the market. LGLS will compare the safety(adverse events especially the lower leg edema) and efficacy (blood pressure and pulse) of Levacalm and Valsartan/amlodipine combination drug from this study.
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a highly prevalent chronic sleep disorder that affects 3% to 7% in middle aged individuals and increases with age. OSA has been identified as the most common secondary cause associated with resistant hypertension. There is evidence that compared with older patients, the risk of hypertension in OSA patients may be particularly pronounced in younger adult ones (less than 50 years). Traditionally, cardiovascular risk stratification in hypertensive patients was based on the average blood pressure (BP) measured in the clinic. Accumulated data has shown that target-organ damage is related not only to 24-h mean intra-arterial BP, but also to BP variability (BPV) in subjects with essential hypertension. Growing evidence demonstrated that BPV has considerable prognostic value for all-cause mortality and cardiovascular outcomes, independent of average BP. In addition, it has been found that hypoxia condition in pneumoconiosis patients was closely associated with exaggerated BPV in ambulatory BP. However, the selections of antihypertensive drugs remain yet not very clearly for hypertensive patients combined with OSA.
To investigate the efficacy and safety of azilsartan compared to olmesartan medoxomil in patients with grade I or II essential hypertension
Severely brain injured patients are at high risk of intracranial hypertension. Among medical treatments (sedatives), neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBA) are recommended by french but not english speaking societies. Effects of NMBA are unknown. The present study is designed to compare the effects of NMBA versus placebo in the treatment of intracranial hypertension, and the underlying physiopathologic effects.
The aim of research proposal is to assess and compare the safety and efficacy of radiofrequency denervation of pulmonary arteries on decrease in pulmonary vascular resistance and mean pulmonary artery pressure (MPAP) in 20 patients with IPAH (mean pulmonary artery pressure >25 mmHg) and in 20 patients with secondary pulmonary hypertension due to pulmonary disease or due to left heart disease not responding optimally to medical therapy.
Aims - assessment of renal artery stenosis incidence in consecutive AMI patients included in the Romanian National Programme of Primary Percutaneous Revascularisation; - generating a cardio-renal-metabolic profile in patients with renal atherosclerotic disease; - creating a local registry (based on European CARDS percutaneous interventional registries) which also includes renal, metabolic and vascular data; - reporting long-term follow-up data on major cardiac adverse events (MACE) in the study group.
The purpose of this study is to test the hypothesis that hypertension increases the anti-natriuretic effects of an angiotensin receptor antagonist during mental stress in overweight/obese African-American's who retain sodium during mental stress.
Resistant hypertension is defined as uncontrolled blood pressure (BP ≥ 140/90mmHg) despite the current use of three or more antihypertensive drugs at full doses, including a diuretic. Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is at high risk for cardiovascular morbidity and is highly prevalent in patients with resistant hypertension. The prospective observational POP-ART study will assess the efficacy of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment on BP in patients with resistant hypertension and collect data from usual care.
The aim of this prospective randomized study was to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the original ablation procedures ganglion plexus pulmonary artery with simultaneous correction of valvular heart disease, complicated by high pulmonary hypertension.
This trial is designed to: 1. Assess the response to montherapy with : a thiazide diuretic (HCTZ), a calcium-channel blocker (CCB, amlodipine) and an angiotensin-receptor blocker (telmisartan), among hypertensive subjects who live at sea level, at medium altitude above sea level and at high altitude above sea level. 2. To test whether diferentes exist in the response to therapy among subjects who live at different altitude above sea level 3. To assess the hemodynamic characteristics of hypertension in populations that live at sea level, at medium altitude above sea level, and at high altitude above sea level.
