Filter by:This is a multicenter randomized clinical trial to determine the effect of continuation versus withdrawal of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARB) in the perioperative period on postoperative complications.
This is a double-blind, sham-controlled clinical trial assessing the effectiveness of personalized isometric handgrip device therapy. Approximately 230 patients who present with a Systolic Blood Pressure reading of ≤ 149mmHg and who have not taken any antihypertensive medication for more than 30 days will be enrolled.
The purpose of the study is to assess the effects of selexipag on right ventricular (RV) function in participants with Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH).
To determine if low dose aspirin reduces the incidence of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (gestational hypertension, preeclampsia, eclampsia, and HELLP syndrome) in pregnant women with stage 1 hypertension and elevated blood pressure.
This study is a pilot, open-label, randomized controlled trial of postpartum women with hypertensive disorders pregnancy and persistent non-severe blood pressure. The purpose of the study to provide data that may provide guidance regarding blood pressure management of patients with non-severe postpartum hypertension. There are limited guidelines for best practice with persistent, non-severe hypertension, and treatment in this situation is usually at the provider's discretion.
- The main purpose of this study is to learn if incorporating a loop diuretic such as furosemide along with labetalol in the routine management of postpartum gestational hypertensive disorders could lower the need for additional anti-hypertensive agents to control blood pressures, improve blood pressures (as measured by systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and mean arterial blood pressures), shorten hospital stays and decrease readmissions for patients with gestational hypertensive disorders. - Based on a study by Veena et al1, there is reason to believe that the addition of furosemide to other anti-hypertensives may help decrease the need to add or increase the dose of medication to control blood pressures. There may be potential to shorten hospital stays and decrease readmissions, as well. Collecting data will be done using a prospective, randomized 1:1 controlled study assigning postpartum patients with a gestational hypertensive diagnosis to either labetalol alone or labetalol plus furosemide. - The study will be performed in the postpartum wing of Miami Valley Hospital Main Campus and would use patients who have consented to participate in the study with enrollees coming from the OB Staff population.
The aim of the study is to determine relevant morphologic parameters of the lung vasculature for the differentiation between different groups of patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH) by thoracic computer tomography (CT). In this pilot study patients undergoing right heart catheterization will be investigated by thoracic CT and special software to determine morphologic readouts. The investigators expect that using this non-invasive method, parameters relevant for the differentiation of the patients with PH can be determined.
Women with androgen excess polycystic ovary syndrome (AE-PCOS) leads to hypertension.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effect of macitentan 75 mg versus placebo on exercise capacity at Week 28 in participants with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH).
The project will investigate and improve a community health worker (CHW) based model for non-communicable disease (NCD) care in a humanitarian emergency.
