Filter by:Hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and dyslipidemia are common internal diseases, and all diseases are atherosclerosis risk factors. Previous studies applied color fundus photography to analyze retinal vascular changes (including exudation, hemorrhage, neovascularization, etc.) in patients with hypertension or diabetes, but the examination results could not be quantified. This study intends to apply optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) to examine retinal vessels. This method has the following advantages: 1) It can quantify vascular changes, and 2) It is noninvasive and reproducible for patients' follow-up. This study was designed to investigate retinal vascular changes in patients with hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia on OCTA. We will collect the patients' general information (gender, age), comorbidities, medications, blood lipids, blood glucose, carotid ultrasound, ankle-brachial index, ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, color fundus photography, and OCTA results. We will follow up with the patients for five years and conduct the mentioned examinations once a year. We will also investigate the correlation between systemic atherosclerosis (such as coronary artery stenosis, and carotid artery stenosis) and retinal vasculopathy in patients with these diseases.
This clinical research study will investigate the effects of 6 weeks of inspiratory muscle strength training on metabolic and cardiovascular outcomes in adults with recent-onset type 2 diabetes.
This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of co-administration of DWC202206 and DWC202207 in patients with concomitant hypertension and hyperlipidemia.
A proprietary machine-learning algorithm has been developed to model continuous pulmonary artery pressure (PAP), a physiologic marker of cardiopulmonary function. The algorithm was developed from PAP recordings obtained during invasive right heart catheterization. The study will evaluate whether this algorithm can perform as well when embedded into a non-invasive wearable device that records EKG, heart sounds, and thoracic impedance has yet to be established.
The Skills-Based Educational strategies for Reduction of Vascular Events in Orange County, CA (SERVE OC) study aims to evaluate the efficacy of a culturally tailored, skills-based, cardiovascular health (CVH) intervention amongst a cohort of Latinx and Vietnamese families in Santa Ana, CA. The SERVE OC intervention was adapted from our previous work, the Discharge Educational Strategies for Reduction of Vascular Events (DESERVE) intervention, for the primordial prevention of hypertension (HTN) and other risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD). (The DESERVE study was conducted at New York University under their IRB). The intervention will be delivered by community health workers (CHWs) and will focus on: 1) optimizing risk perception, 2) enhancing provider-family communication, and 3) identifying challenges to CVH. Participants will receive multi-lingual materials and access to an app/web portal to identify healthy goals and strategies around modifiable risk factors for CVH, Life's Essential 8. SERVE OC will follow participants for 36-months to examine changes in CVH using Life's Simple 7 (LS7): smoking status, physical activity, weight, diet, blood glucose, cholesterol, and blood pressure (BP) scores and changes in systolic blood pressure (SBP) among adult participants versus enhanced standard intervention (ESI). Remote blood pressure (BP) monitoring will also be used to assess BP over time. CHWs will engage families in identifying barriers to CVH and solutions to share with community stakeholders. Using this community-based research (CBPR) approach the investigators hope to improve health equity within the community through enhanced social capital, empowerment, and advocacy capacity. This study is part of a multi-center projected coordinated by the UCLA-UCI Center for Eliminating Cardio-Metabolic Disparities in Multi-Ethnic Populations (UC END-DISPARITIES), aimed at improving CVH among underserved populations in Los Angeles and Orange County.
The investigators want to explore the relationship between different configurations of hypertension and the incidence of cardiovascular events by the guidelines reference range and EMINCA recommended reference range. Then the investigators want to enroll twenty research centers and 2200 hypertensions were planned to be collected and followed up in the 12th, 24th, 36th and 48th months after being enrolled in this study. Physical examination, ECG examination, laboratory examination, echocardiography and carotid ultrasound should be taken when baseline and follow-up. Echocardiographic measurement parameters were analyzed and the relationship between the echocardiographic measurement parameters and cardiovascular events and prognosis of hypertension.
EPIC is a cluster-randomized, double-blind trial to evaluate the effect of two potassium-enriched salt substitute preparations (one available in the Argentine market and one derived from it), compared to regular salt on systolic blood pressure in subjects ≥ 18 and ≤ 90 years old from Rosario department households in Santa Fe Province, Argentina.
Primary hyperaldosteronism confers a higher risk of cardiovascular complications compared to essential hypertension. Preliminary data is controversial in regards of excessive maternal fetal and neonatal excessive risks in pregnancy. This study aims at establishing the prevalence of PHA in an population with a recent episode of hypertensive disorder of pregnancy (HDP). The goal is to determine if a universal screening for PHA after a HDP is worthed. The investigators also wish to evaluate the complication rate in pregnant women with PHA compared to women without PHA. This is a prospective cohort study where all eligible women will be screened for PHA after a HDP episode in the last pregnancy. We will then compare PHA women to non PHA women according to pregnancy complications.
This study will be carried out in 2 emergency departments (at the exit of the emergency room) and 2 external consultations (endocrinology of the CHU FB Monastir and diabetology consultation, Jemmal hospital). Patients over 18 years of age with: Arterial hypertension (hypertension).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of AD-209
