Filter by:Research has shown that isometric (constant squeeze) exercise training using an isometric handgrip (IHG) device lowers resting blood pressure (BP) in those with and without high BP. The purpose of this study is to explore if IHG training will lower resting BP in people doing cardiac rehabilitation more than doing only cardiac rehabilitation. Once eligibility is confirmed participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups for the study. One group will do IHG training in addition to cardiac rehabilitation (Group 1), and the other group will do only cardiac rehabilitation (Group 2). Participants assigned to Group 1 will be asked to do IHG training on their own with an inflatable ball three days per week for 12 weeks with intensity set based on rating of perceived exertion (RPE) or rating of effort. Participants will self-measure and report their resting BP to investigators. The acceptability of doing IHG training will also be explored by conducting interviews with participants as will the impact that IHG training may have on psychological wellbeing by administering surveys to participants.
Heart disease is a common and serious medical condition which causes nearly one in every three deaths worldwide every year. The factors which increase people's risk for heart disease are well-known, but there needs to be more support given to people to reduce their risk of heart disease. Pharmacists are front line primary healthcare providers who see patients more frequently than any other healthcare provider and can help people reduce their risk of heart disease. This research project aims to see whether a pharmacist-led intervention can help people reduce their risk of heart disease. The potential impact of this project is to empower people to understand how to reduce their risk of heart disease and reduce the burden of heart disease on the community.
The goal of this observational study is to assess whether the continuous non-invasive haemodynamic monitor MOH200 (measuring blood pressure as well as pulse rate) is effective or not in people undergoing general anesthetic surgeries for more than 60 minutes with planned invasive blood pressure and pulse oximeter monitoring. Researchers will compare blood pressure data derived from MOH200 to the invasive blood pressure (IBP) data to see if the MOH200 is effective to measure the blood pressure of a surgical person. Also, researchers will compare pulse rate data drived from MOH200 to that from the pulse oximeter to see if the MOH200 is effective to measure the pulse rate of a surgical person. Participants will be asked to be applied with MOH200 monitoring while IBP monitoring and pulse oximeter are applied. And after 30 minutes of the surgery, researchers will monitor the adverse effects occurred on the skin of participants to assess the safety of MOH200.
This study aims to assess whether removing single elements of the standardized office BP measurement procedure will affect the accuracy towards the mean awake ambulatory BP. Four arms are planned in a randomized order: 1) full standardized procedure, 2) standardized procedure but with cuff placed on a sleeve, 3) standardized procedure but arm resting vertically, 4) standardized procedure but with non-validated device. This is a pilot study to inform on the sample size required to perform adequately powered large scale studies.
The purpose of this study is collect subject vitals with a blood pressure cuff, electrocardiogram (ECG), and photoplethysmogram (PPG). This data can then be used to develop a reliable, accurate, noninvasive, and continuous blood pressure monitoring device.
TEAMS-BP is a Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI)-funded trial under the Phased Large Awards for Comparative Effectiveness Research (PLACER) funding mechanism to evaluate two comprehensive and evidence-based strategies for managing blood pressure (BP) following stroke.
This clinical trial aims to assess the efficacy of inspiratory muscle strength training (IMST) guided by a smartphone app vs. IMST delivered in a clinical research setting for lowering systolic blood pressure in adults 18 years and older with elevated blood pressure. Participants will perform IMST for 5 minutes a day, 6 days a week, for 6 weeks.
The investigators will study 500 patients with any indication for 24-hours Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM). In this study will compare Blood Pressure measurements with an original automatic device every 5 minutes during 20 minutes while the subject waits room for appointment, against ABPM results.
High blood pressure is a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, stroke, and kidney disorders. Accurate blood pressure monitoring is crucial for the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of complications related to high blood pressure. In recent years, due to the rapid development of wearable devices and mobile technology, wearable blood pressure monitors have gradually become a non-invasive and convenient method for blood pressure monitoring. However, the accuracy of these devices has not been fully established. This study aims to validate the performance of RadiHeart (an application program) in blood pressure measurement.
This study aims to assess the impact of the HEALS-Child action project on children's health in rural China. The goal of the project is to evaluate the effectiveness, feasibility, safety and cost-effectiveness of two salt reduction strategies: replacing usual salt with salt substitute in school meals, and replacing bowls with trays in school cafeteria. The study has two parts: the main study evaluates the salt substitute intervention, and the ancillary study evaluates the tray intervention. In the main study, over 16000 students from around 320 elementary or junior high school in rural China will be cluster-randomized into the two groups: 1. Salt substitute 2.usual salt. The primary outcome in the main study will be the change in systolic blood pressure. In the ancillary study, over 500 students from 10 elementary or junior high school will be cluster-randomized into the two groups: 1. meal trays 2.bowls. The primary outcome in the ancillary study will be the change in spot urine sodium. The interventions will last over 1 years. To evaluate the impact of interventions, 50 students were randomly selected from each school.
