Filter by:To evaluate pharmacokinetic properties and drug interactions between D326 and D337 co-administered groups, the CKD-828 alone and the total co-administered groups.
Patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD) and scleroderma who develop pulmonary hypertension (PH) do not fit well into the current classification system and treatments for pulmonary hypertension. This study aims to better understand patients with ILD-PH and scleroderma and to determine if treatment with Macitentan is beneficial.
Patients with hepatic cirrhosis and previous variceal bleeding will be randomly assigned to use propranolol or carvedilol. After 8 weeks, rosuvastatin or placebo will be blindly added to nonresponders (HVPG measurement > 12mmHg) for another 8 weeks and hemodynamic response will be assessed again. Surrogate serum markers of portal hypertension will be evaluated and correlated to HVPG values and to its variations.
The study aim is to monitor, during exercise tests carried out in various conditions, the alveolar dead space, by means of continuous transcutaneous measurement of Pt CO2, which would be used as a surrogate for arterial PaCO2. Validity of this measurement needs to be assessed against arterial sampling (either arterial, or arterialized capillary), especially with regards to the lag time required by the CO2 diffusion from the arterial compartment (PaCO2) to the cutaneous one (PtCO2), in particular when rapid changes of CO2 might be induced by exercise. The evaluation will be done in 2 different settings: - intensive care patients, equipped, for their routine clinical care, with an arterial line; this allows for a precise timed comparison between PaCO2 and PtCO2 readouts; - routine exercise test, where blood gas evaluation is done essentially by means of arterialized earlobe capillary sampling. Following assessment of validity of the measurement (and the lag time PaCO2-PtCO2 which might be necessary to introduce as a correction), evolution of dead space during excise test will be tested in different conditions: Healthy subjects, patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), chronic heart failure (CHF), hyperventilation, Pulmonary artery hypertension (PAH), or interstitial lung disease (ILD)
The prevalence of hypertension in patients with CKD in China is high but the control rate is low. Compared with the single blood pressure measurement method of the blood pressure of the office, ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) can reflect the overall situation of 24-hour blood pressure, dynamic fluctuation degree and circadian rhythm change more completely and objectively. Studies have shown that patients with CKD with hypertension have their own uniqueness through ABPM measurement, and nocturnal hypertension is the main cause of poor blood pressure control. Further studies have shown that nocturnal hypertension is an independent and more effective prognostic indicator of death and CVD in patients with hypertension. Evidence from European and American countries suggests that in the CKD population, elevated nighttime blood pressure is more predictive of CKD progression or CVD than daytime blood pressure. Compared with countries such as Europe and the United States, there are differences in the causes, genetic background and daily behaviors of kidney disease in our population. It is urgent to investigate the predictive value of nocturnal hypertension for renal end point and CVD in CKD population in China. To this end, our study found for the first time that CKD patients generally have changes in nocturnal blood pressure patterns, and the anti-dope type blood pressure pattern is closely related to the target organ damage. Our further study found that the incidence of nocturnal hypertension in Chinese patients with CKD is more than 50%, and compared with non-dipping blood pressure, patients with nocturnal hypertension have more serious target organ damage, which is independent risk factors for all-cause death, cardiovascular death, renal events, and cardiovascular events in patients with CKD. These preliminary results suggest the role of nocturnal hypertension in the prognosis of CKD patients in China, but there are still the following questions: Is the occurrence of nocturnal hypertension in CKD patients related to certain gene expression? This project intends to perform whole-genome exon sequencing and analysis on CKD patients with nocturnal hypertension to determine the genetic mechanism of CKD patients with nocturnal hypertension. The completion of the subject will reveal the genetic characteristics of CKD patients with nocturnal hypertension, and provide a basis for the precise prevention and treatment of chronic kidney disease hypertension.
This is a prospective, multi-center diagnostic trial conducted at 6 liver centers in China designed to study the correlation between serum biomarkers associated with endothelial dysfunction and immune inflammation and hepatic venous pressure gradient in cirrhosis.
The proposed project will address this evidence-to-practice gap by evaluating the effect of practice facilitation (PF) of the intervention implementation fidelity (primary outcome) and clinical measures at 12 months (secondary outcomes).
The CARDIOSTROKE is a randomized trial comparing mobile-device assisted control of hypertension together with screening of occult atrial fibrillation to standard care in patients with recent ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack.
The registry study aims to determine serial biomarkers to prognosis of Essential Hypertension
This study evaluates the impact of the use of a technology-enabled home blood pressure monitor amongst hypertensive patients in primary care. Half of the patients will receive the blood pressure monitor for home monitoring, while the other half will receive usual care at the polyclinic. The hypothesis is tele-monitoring along with nurse led tele-support and medical review (i.e. tele-treatment) can enhance primary care management of hypertension by improving patient outcomes and reducing health costs.
