Filter by:Obesity is a significant health issue that increases the risk of serious cardiovascular problems. In recent years, two dietary methods, the Ketogenic Diet (KD) and Intermittent Fasting (IF), have become popular for their potential to treat obesity and its related issue, hypertension. While both diets are known for their effectiveness in weight loss, their specific impacts on blood pressure (BP) and overall heart health risks are less understood especially in menopausal women. The main goal of this study was to investigate how the Ketogenic Diet and Intermittent Fasting compare to a regular, unrestricted diet (referred to as Free Diet or FD) in terms of their effects on clinic blood pressure levels in menopausal women. Additionally, the study looked at changes in Body Mass Index (BMI), the percentage of total body weight loss, body fat percentage, waist and hip measurements, the ratio of waist-to-hip size, and the Phase Angle (PhA), which is a measure of the body's overall health status.
In this study, researchers want to learn about the safety of BAY3283142 after a single dose and multiple doses in participants with mild to moderate high blood pressure. The study treatment called BAY3283142 helps to relax blood vessels. It is currently under development for the treatment of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR). CKD is a condition in which the kidneys' ability to work gradually decrease over time. NPDR is a condition in which high blood glucose levels cause damage to the blood vessels of the retina, which is a tissue at the back of the eyes. During this study, participants will take either different doses of the study drug BAY3283142 as tablets by mouth or a placebo. A placebo looks like the study drug but does not have any medicine in it. At the start of this study, the study doctor will check the medical history and current medications of the participants. They will also perform a complete health check on all the participants. Researchers will collect blood and urine samples from the participants at different time points to assess the safety and effects of BAY3283142. Each treatment scheme will consist of three doses that are given in a consecutive manner. For the first 7 days, participants will receive a lower dose of BAY3283142 in each treatment scheme. The middle and the higher dose of each treatment scheme will be given for 14 days each. Participants will not know which treatment (placebo or BAY3283142) they will be given, but the study doctor will know which group received which treatment. A participant can be in the study for 10 weeks. This study will be conducted on men or postmenopausal women participants with mild to moderate high blood pressure who may not directly benefit from treatment with BAY3283142. However, information collected in this study will serve as a basis for the development of BAY3283142 for the treatment of people with CKD or NPDR. Participants may experience pain and discomfort when blood samples are taken. The researchers will closely monitor and manage any medical problems that the participants may have during the study.
This is a multi-centre, observational, ambispective study, which will retrospectively and prospectively collect clinical and socio-demographic data from medical records of outpatients with arterial hypertension (HTN) initiated with the amlodipine/indapamide/perindopril SPC in real clinical settings. 375 patients to be included in the study in order for at least 300 patients to complete the study and provide an estimated 90% power of the study. 75 outpatient general practitioners and cardiologists will participate in this study.
Arterial hypertension (AH) has been identified as an important public health problem and considered a new epidemic with high mortality and morbidity. High blood pressure (BP) levels increase the chances of coronary artery disease (CAD), heart failure (HF), stroke, chronic renal failure (CRF) and death. Beetroot powder may be an easier way to increase the availability of nitric oxide and consequently vasodilation in these patients. However, studies are needed to evaluate its benefits in patients with AH.
To evaluate whether in patients with initially poorly-controlled arterial hypertension, structural and functional differences in the retina and choroid remain after achieving a well-controlled blood pressure.
The six minutes stepper test (6MST) was used assess exercise capacity of individuals having different chronic conditions. In the literature, there are some validation studies analyzing validity of 6MST. In this study, the main aim was to analyse validation of 6MST in hypertensive individuals.
Commonly used parameters (creatinine, estimated glomerular filtration rate, and urine albumin/creatinine ratio) for prediction of decline of renal function are sensitive for advanced kidney impairment. Modified human urine Fetuin A (urine Fetuin A) with specific modification in urine (Fetuin A) can earlier predict the progression of kidney disease in patients with diabetes. Studies evaluating urine Fetuin A in hypertonic patients are still lacking.
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to learn about the effect of a hydrotherapeutic approach - a temperature-elevating armbath - in people with arterial hypertention. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - Can this kind of hydrotherapy lower the blood pressure and therefore be an additional approach to medical treatment in arterial hypertension? - Besides blood pressure regulation, does this intervention affect sleep quality when being performed at night time or does it affect overall quality of life? Participants will be advised to perform a temperature-elevating armbath once a day for 30 minutes on at least 5 days per week over 8 weeks. The comparison group will continue treatment as usual, like continue their medication. 24h blood pressure measurements will be performed at the beginning, after 8 weeks and after 6 months in both groups. The main goal is to evaluate whether the intervention group shows lower blood pressure levels after a certain time of treatment. After 6 months (end of trial) the control group will be offered to learn the temperature elevating armbath as well.
PräVaNet is a prospective, 1:1 randomized, controlled trial to investigate the efficacy of a new, digitalized prevention strategy ("ePrevention") in cardiovascular high-risk patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus in the outpatient sector.
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The prevalence of CKD is increasing worldwide and is assumed to also dramatically increase in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Key shortcomings of available data on CKD in SSA are as follows: (i) Available data are based on single measurements and, therefore, cannot distinguish between harmless transient deterioration in kidney function and chronic kidney damage; (ii) Accurate information regarding renal protein loss, an important and early marker of kidney disease, is lacking; (iii) Cardiovascular risk factors for CKD, such as obesity, hypertension and diabetes, are often not searched for. Likewise non-classic potential risk factors, such as endemic infectious diseases, socioeconomic status and lifestyle have not been consistently recorded; (iv) Information to interrogate linked interaction over time between risk factors and development of CKD is unavailable. With this project, situated in a region representative of semi-rural SSA, we aim to fill this knowledge gap and (i) establish guideline conform prevalence data of CKD and its major cardiovascular risk factors, as well as (ii) prospectively define the incidence of cardiovascular- and non-classic risk factors of CKD. The data from (i) and (ii) is used to develop predictive models. A prospective cohort of 1200 individuals in a primary care facility will serve as study population. The population is representing a society in transition from rural to more urban lifestyle. In the pilot study, participants will be followed for one years and undergo the clinical and biomedical testing required to capture CKD and its classic and non-classic risk factors over time.
