Filter by:In this study, we will assess the change of serum ACE-2, angiotensin(1-7), and vascular function after using olmesartan (an ARB), compared to conventional anti-hypertensive drug, amlodipine in hypertensive patients with T2DM.
It is the ability to keep and maintain the body training balance control center. Dynamic balance is the ability to maintain an individual's static position while the movement and posture are active while static. With aging, it is thought that the system will be applied in practice. Control of cerebral blood flow and synapse, which decreases with advanced age and hypertension, continues. In addition to slowing down in mental functions such as memory and learning, it progresses and accelerates in the sense of vibration, nerve velocity, proprioceptor feedback under skin receptor control, and can occur in static, dynamic and isokinetic muscle strength. This causes you to continue the preparations for the necessary evaluations in your postural stability and you watch. Particularly geriatrics reported that Otogo supports us to improve balance in us. The purpose of this goal is to test in otago educational work on static and dynamic movements, lower hypertensive muscle work, capacity and capacity and competence.
This study is designed to assess the effect of implementing a mobile health (mHealth) strategy using text messaging for hypertension (HTN) management among hypertensive homeless persons with uncontrolled blood pressure age 21 or older in shelter-clinics in New York City (NYC). The study uses a randomized clinical trial design (homeless, n=120) and semi-structured interviews (homeless, n=30; providers, n=20). The control group will receive text messages for usual standard care/healthy lifestyle during a 6-month follow-up period. The intervention group will receive text messages geared towards both standard care/healthy lifestyle and blood pressure control. At the end of study period, the investigators will assess changes in blood pressure (BP) measurements, adherence to clinic visits, and adherence to medication, and the investigators will compare them between the two groups. Qualitative interviews with both patients and providers who provide services to the homeless in shelter settings will develop a better understand barriers and opportunities regarding BP control. The investigators hypothesize that those individuals randomized to the intervention will experience a reduction in blood pressure (8mmHg systolic BP or diastolic BP) and will exhibit better adherence to blood pressure medications and appointments compared to the control group.
Eccentric muscle work is defined as lengthening of a muscle while applying force. It was shown that with eccentric work, muscles are able to perform four times as much power compared to usual concentric work, which results in huge training gain with a highly decreased oxygen demand and thus lower cardiovascular load. Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a chronic condition associated with significant reduced exercise capacity and increased morbidity and mortality, resulting in reduced quality of life. Physical training has been shown to be beneficial in PH, even in severely limited patients. However, due to cardiopulmonary constraints in PH, training intensities may be very low, so that many patients are physically almost unable to perform exercise on a high enough level to maintain muscle mass. A low body muscle not only feeds the vicious cycle of decreasing exercise capacity, but also has many deleterious metabolic and immunological consequences which further increase disability and decrease quality of life in PH. Thus, eccentric training, which allows to gain muscle mass with a low stress to the cardiopulmonary unit may to be highly beneficial for patients with PH and allied cardiopulmonary disease, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and heart failure. Therefore, the objective of the trial is, to compare differences in oxygen uptake (peak VO2 [l/min]) and other physiological measures during similar cardiopulmonary exercise test protocols of eccentric- vs. concentric cycling in PH- patients and comparators with or without other cardiopulmonary diseases.
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has uprooted conventional health care delivery for routine ambulatory care, requiring health systems to rapidly adopt telemedicine capabilities. The digital divide, has been well documented with lower rates of technology and broadband adoption among racial/ethnic minorities. Additionally, Black patients suffer a disproportionate burden of hypertension and cardiovascular disease. This study will implement a text-based home hypertension monitoring program among Black Medicaid patients with hypertension and cardiovascular disease (CVD) and compare its uptake to the currently available blood pressure monitoring program using the patient portal that is integrated into the electronic health record (EHR).
Arterial hypertension (HT) was the leading global contributor for premature deaths in 2015. Its treatment includes medication and lifestyle changes, namely diet and regular exercise, which has shown to have an inverse relationship with arterial HT. Recreational soccer (RS) has proven to be a non-pharmacological treatment for several chronic conditions, including arterial HT, with meaningful decreases on blood pressure (BP). Recreation futsal (RF) is expected to elicit comparable BP changes to RS considering that it imposes similar physical and physiological demands. However, the effects of RF on BP and other cardiovascular markers have not been previously investigated in participants only with controlled arterial HT. Furthermore, acute BP changes and double product elicited by this exercise modality were never described. Therefore, the main purpose of this study is to assess if RF is an effective coadjuvant intervention for BP control in adults with controlled arterial HT. Secondary purposes are: i) to determine the impact of RF on other cardiovascular markers; ii) to describe the acute BP changes and the double product elicited by RF; and iii) to assess the impact of 1 month of detraining on BP and other cardiovascular markers (4 months).
The study aims to investigate and compare the effect of TPN171H on subjects with mild and moderate hepatic impairment compared to healthy subjects.
This study is a mechanistic clinical trial designed to investigate the effects of the circadian system and sleep on non-dipping blood pressure (BP) in people with hypertension (HTN).
Throughout this study, the efficacy and safety information of Olomax tablets will be collected from 24 weeks to 48 weeks(+8 weeks) The Data collection point is baseline, at more than 24 weeks, at more than 48 weeks(+8 weeks).
Randomized controlled trial testing the efficacy of the Supporting Tailored Adaptive change and Reinforcement for Medication Adherence Program (STAR-MAP), a health coaching approach that aims to improve antihypertensive medication adherence, blood pressure control, and quality of life. Participants (n=402) >=50 years old with a diagnosis of hypertension, uncontrolled blood pressure, and low antihypertensive medication adherence will be recruited through a statewide health insurer, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Louisiana, and randomized to receive either interactive health coaching sessions with medication reminder tools (intervention) or medication reminder tools only (control) over one year. Data will be collected from participants at baseline, 6 months, 12 months, and 24 months using questionnaires, physical measurement (height, weight, blood pressure), a computer-based single-category implicit association test, and laboratory analysis of antihypertensive medication urinary metabolites.
