Filter by:The purpose of this study is to assess which blood pressure medication (intravenous labetalol or oral nifedipine) works better in treating severely elevated blood pressure in women who have just delivered a baby.
This is a randomized, controlled, pragmatic trial designed as a "type I hybrid effectiveness-implementation trial" that tests a hypertension program integrating a virtual Collaborative Care Clinic (vCCC), home blood pressure monitoring, and telehealth for lowering blood pressure (BP) in two health systems.
Research Question How does maternal blood pressure respond in the postpartum period for women who had a hypertensive disorder in pregnancy? Aim To evaluate the recovery of maternal blood pressure after a pregnancy affected by new onset hypertension after twenty weeks gestation Objectives - To identify rates of persistent hypertension after pregnancies affected by HDP - To assess and compare the accuracy of HBPM against the gold standard of ABPM - To assess the maternal acceptance of HBPM and ABPM - To explore what CVD-related care information is provided at the 6-8 week GP appointment
This is a Phase 2, randomized, multicenter study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of multiple dose strengths of baxdrostat (also called CIN-107) in the treatment of patients with uncontrolled hypertension. The primary objective was to demonstrate that treatment with baxdrostat for 8 weeks would lower the systolic blood pressure (SBP) in patients who were hypertensive despite taking one or two anti-hypertensive medications. Participants were assigned to take placebo or baxdrostat once per day for 8 weeks while they continued taking the regular anti-hypertensive medications. At the end of the 8-week period, qualified patients could participate in Part II of the study and receive 2 mg baxdrostat for 4 weeks while they discontinued taking the background anti-hypertensive medication.
The overall goal of this pilot study is to examine the feasibility and acceptability of a culturally-tailored low-sodium dietary intervention is South Asian Canadians with stage one HTN. Specific objectives are to determine the feasibility (recruitment, retention, engagement and acceptability) of this intervention. Secondary outcomes include the effect of low-sodium dietary intervention on knowledge, attitude and self-regulation behaviours. Exploratory outcomes include its effect of systolic, diastolic blood pressure and sodium intake. Information obtained from this pilot trial will inform design of a larger randomized controlled trial in reducing BP in South Asian Canadians.
Extremely preterm infants are at risk for developing bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) and associated chronic pulmonary hypertension (PH), a consequence of altered pulmonary vasculature. This condition occurs in about 25% of babies with BPD, and the association grows with increasing BPD severity. Other risk factors have been described as well. Morbidity and mortality associated with prematurity and/or BPD increase significantly in the presence of PH. Thus, international guidelines encourage the use of standardized screening protocols for this condition. However, several questions regarding these recommendations are left unanswered, such as a clear definition for PH in this population. The research aim is to prospectively evaluate prevalence, risk factors and clinical course of PH in these children. The investigators aim to identify at-risk infants early on and ultimately improve survival making use of an early targeted intervention.
The purpose of this study is to explore the efficacy and safety of LTP001 in participants with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) to determine if LTP001 has an adequate clinical profile to warrant further clinical development in this indication.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the risk factors of recurrent preeclampsia and compare the short-term and long-term adverse outcomes of women and their offspring.
Clinical presentation of acute pulmonary embolism (PE) is complex and varied and not uncommonly involves respiratory failure with dyspnea or hypoxia. Patients with persisting signs of respiratory failure despite anticoagulation, may benefit from catheter directed thrombectomy. Additionally, patient who receive thrombectomy are likely to have a lower residual thrombus burden measurable by ventilation-perfusion (V/Q) scan, and thereby less likely to develop chronic sequela, including chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) and post PE syndrome.
