Filter by:Chronic kidney disease (CKD), is characterized by accelerated development of atherosclerosis and advanced remodelling of vessels and the heart. It is associated with many factors, including inflammation, arterial hypertension, hyperlipidemia, hyperhomocysteinemia, secondary hyperparathyroidism, and oxidative stress. Hypertension is one of the most critical risk factors for cardiovascular complications. It leads to the formation of structural changes in the vascular system: it impairs the activity of the endothelium, causes hypertrophy and remodelling of the vascular wall, reduces the susceptibility of the vessels and accelerates the development of atherosclerosis. This study aimed to identify the processes and their representative markers, the concentration of which in the serum may reflect the cardiovascular system status and can predict the increased mortality in HD patients.
The purpose of this study is to assess short and long term outcomes of stenting for symptomatic intracranial arterial stenosis.
This study will be a placebo-controlled, double-blind, randomized, phase 3 study in participants with Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease (ASCVD) who are not adequately controlled despite maximally tolerated lipid-lowering therapy.
The objective of this prospective, multicenter, non-randomized, single-arm observational study is to evaluate the efficacy and the safety of the iCover covered stent for the treatment of de novo aorto-iliac atherosclerotic lesions in patients with symptomatic arteriopathy of the lower limbs (Rutherford class 2 to 5).
Аn international, multicenter, non-interventional real-life clinical practice Register studying the Actual therapeutic patient population with Multifocal Atherosclerosis in the Russian Federation and Eurasian countries
This study will incorporate a prospective randomised open blinded end-point trial in participants with stage 2, 3 or 4 melanoma treated with ICI to evaluate the impact of statin therapy on changes in coronary plaque burden and composition.
In this study, we will assess the change of extended renin-angiotensin system including serum ACE-2 and angiotensin(1-7) levels and subclinical atherosclerosis after using fimasartan (an ARB), compared to amlodipine in hypertensive patients with T2DM.
This is a Prospective randomized controlled study to evaluate the difference of safety，effectiveness between chocolate balloon and plain balloon dilatation in treatment of infrapopliteal artery lesions.
This is a Prospective randomized controlled study to evaluate the difference of safety，effectiveness between endovascular debulking combined drug-coated balloon and balloon dilatation combined stent angioplasty in treatment of femoral-popliteal artery lesions.
Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a major cause of morbidity, disability, mortality, and health expenditures worldwide. A wealth of studies has demonstrated that people of South Asian ancestry have a higher risk of CHD and particularly premature CHD than most other racial/ethnic groups, and recent research suggests that this risk is higher in Pakistanis than in Indians-the two largest SA groups. Pakistan is the 5th most populous country in the world, and despite these concerning trends, so far there has been a scarcity of large studies evaluating the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors and subclinical coronary atherosclerosis in young-to-middle-aged Pakistanis. Also, there is currently no cardiovascular risk score specifically tailored to younger Pakistani men and women. The PAKistan Study of prEmature coronary atHerosclerosis in young AdulTs (PAK-SEHAT) aims at addressing these important gaps. PAK-SEHAT is an ongoing prospective cohort study that will enroll 2,000 asymptomatic Pakistani men aged 35 to 60 years and women aged 35 to 65 years from the general population, free of clinically overt cardiovascular disease. Participants will undergo a comprehensive baseline exam including coronary computed tomography angiography, and will be followed for incident events and repeat testing for 5 years. PAK-SEHAT will allow determining the prevalence, severity, determinants, and prognostic significance of early atherosclerosis in apparently healthy young-to-middle-aged Pakistanis. This knowledge can help inform primordial and primary prevention strategies, enhanced cardiovascular risk stratification, and potential plaque-screening approaches in Pakistan, all of which can ultimately help reduce the burden of CHD in the country. In this report investigators describe the rationale, objectives, methods, and discuss the potential implications of the PAK-SEHAT study.
