Filter by:The HYUMC registry is a two-center, real-world registry of percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with coronary artery disease. From January 2012, PCI-treated patients from Hanyang University Seoul Hospitals and Hanyang University Guri Hospitals were enrolled in this registry. The aim of this registry is to examine the long-term clinical outcomes and identify predictors of adverse outcomes following percutaneous coronary intervention conducted at academic hospitals.
Fine particulate matter <2.5 µm (PM2.5) air pollution is the fifth leading risk factor for global mortality, with the largest portion of deaths due to cardiovascular disease (CVD). While several mechanisms are responsible, PM2.5-induced elevations in blood pressure (BP) may be relevant. Indoor portable air cleaners (PACs) are a novel approach to reduce exposure to PM2.5 and potentially lower blood pressure. The current study is being conducted to provide evidence that PACs reduce PM2.5 exposure and lower systolic blood pressure (SBP) in key patient populations.
The objective of this observational study is to examine the impact of augmented arterial pressure during the hemostatic phase of elective supratentorial neurosurgery. The primary inquiries it seeks to address are as follows: 1. Does an increase in systolic arterial pressure prompt a hemostatic maneuver by the neurosurgeon, and does the concomitant mean arterial pressure value influence the frequency of such interventions? 2. How often do postoperative intracranial hemorrhages occur, and how severe are they in relation to the achieved mean arterial pressure value? Participants will be enrolled during the preoperative evaluation, where their arterial pressure values, medical histories, and medication statuses will be recorded. Throughout the induction and maintenance of anesthesia, we will monitor their blood pressure values and document any instances of hypotension or hypertension. During the hemostatic phase, we will elevate the arterial pressure using noradrenaline by up to 10 mmHg above the recorded pressure measured at the inpatient clinic. Subsequently, we will inquire whether the neurosurgeon had to employ any additional hemostatic maneuvers following the increase in arterial pressure. The arterial pressure values will be recorded at the end of the surgery, and the first postoperative CT scan will be examined to identify any cases of intracranial hemorrhage.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate an alternative way of continuously measuring blood pressure in patients coming for complex surgery. The investigators will directly compare the speed of set up and accuracy of the new ClearSight monitor to those taken by the arterial line monitor, which is the current gold standard for recording blood pressure measurements.
This study will determine the feasibility and acceptability of the Protective Assets Reinforced with Integrated care and TechnologY (PARITY) program, to test the clinical, behavioral, and strength building efficacy of the PARITY program and explore how it achieves its outcomes in pregnant Black women. PARITY is a program that provides community-based doula support, community resources, and a mobile technology platform that reinforces individual strengths (referred to as protective assets) through positive messaging and by promoting wellness.
The overarching goal of the proposed study is to develop and test an enrichment to Nurse-Family Partnership (NFP) using an existing, evidence-based program to improve clients' and their children's cardiovascular health from early pregnancy to 24 months postpartum. With support from NFP supervisors and nurses, the investigators will develop new NFP materials promoting healthy diet, activity, sleep, and smoking behaviors, along with optimal weight, glycemia, lipid, and blood pressure profiles. The investigators will conduct a pilot study with up to 40 NFP clients (or women similar to NFP client population) and their nurses to determine feasibility and acceptability of the materials and study protocol.
The primary goal of the study is to compare different methods for pulse wave measurement and analysis which are cuffless and contactless. The novel measurement tools will be compared to cuff-based reference methods.
The purpose of the study is to collect per subject blood pressure data on the device's intended population as described in the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) Standard 81060-2:2018+A1:2020 Non-invasive sphygmomanometers.
Persons with Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) are at an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and mortality. Dietary changes are recommended by guidelines to treat T2D and reduce risk of CVD. Plant-based diets eliminate certain (i.e. vegetarian diet) or eliminate all animal based products (i.e. vegan diet). Clinical trials with plant-based diets have not looked at incidence of CVD as a (primary) outcome, but at intermediate outcomes of cardiovascular risk. A meta-analysis of 8 trials including 369 persons with T2D found an effect of a plant-based diet on glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) of -0.29% [95% CI: -0.45, -0.12%] relative to mostly (omnivorous) low-fat diets or usual diet. The 95%CI ranged from what the authors had defined as clinically trivial to clinically relevant. For lipids, a network meta-analysis in persons with T2D compared the effect of a plant-based diet to a (omnivorous) low fat diet (274 patients allocated to a plant-based diet vs 2047 patients allocated to low fat diets). Compared to omnivorous low fat diets, the mean effect of plant-based diets on LDL-Cholesterol was -0.33 mmol/L [95%CI:- 0.55, - 0.12]. However, the quality of the evidence for this estimate was graded as low, mainly due to imprecision and within-study-bias. Furthermore, plant-based diets might reduce blood pressure (BP). However, while vegetarian diets reduce BP in patients with and without hypertension, for vegan diets the effect was only significant in patients with a systolic BP>130mmHgz (see section 1.4.3). Additionally, the effect of plant-based diets on inflammation, which might also be causally related to CVD risk in persons with T2D, has not been reported in trials with persons with T2D. Furthermore, most clinical trials of plant-based diets in persons with T2D have used resource intensive interventions, like weekly group meetings and cooking sessions. The effect of an online plant-based dietary intervention, which is more scalable, has not been reported in clinical trials. Lastly, factors influencing adherence in these trials have not been reported. In summary, plant-based diets likely lower CVD risk by lowering HbA1c, LDL cholesterol and potentially blood pressure in persons with T2D. However, estimated effect sizes are imprecise and the effect on inflammation is still unknown. Furthermore, trials to date have used resource intensive interventions. Thus, the present trial aims to study the effect of a primarily online plant-based dietary program on (cardio)vascular risk factors in persons with T2D. Additionally, adherence and factors influencing adherence will be investigated. Participants will be randomized to the intervention or control group. The intervention group will be guided to transition to a plant-based dietary pattern using an online platform and online sessions. Researchers will compare the intervention group to the control group, that continues with usual diet, to see if the cardiovascular risk profile of the intervention group improves.
Hypertension is the most common complication in patients with diabetes nephropathy. Strengthening blood pressure and blood sugar control is the basic treatment for patients with diabetes nephropathy. Angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) are the first line drugs recommended in domestic and international guidelines for diabetes patients to control hypertension. As a new ARB drug, azilsartan has been found to have better antihypertensive effect than other ARB drugs. However, due to the limited sample size and study time, azilsartan has no significant advantage over other ARB drugs in terms of renal protection effect, and has not been systematically studied in diabetes nephropathy population. This study is intended to evaluate the effect of azilsartan on proteinuria and blood pressure improvement in patients with diabetes nephropathy and hypertension through clinical randomized controlled study, so as to accumulate evidence-based evidence of azilsartan in the comprehensive management of heart and kidney protection in this group of people, and promote the development of comprehensive treatment for patients with metabolic disease and renal injury combined with hypertension. This study will compare the advantages and disadvantages of azilsartan and classical ARB drug losartan potassium in terms of proteinuria, blood pressure control and renal function protection in patients with diabetes nephropathy and hypertension; We propose that the main indicator is the change of urinary albumin/creatinine ratio relative to the baseline, and the secondary indicator is the change of 24-hour urinary protein relative to the baseline; Change of blood pressure relative to baseline; Renal function, electrolyte and blood glucose.
