Filter by:China PEACE Millions Persons Project is a national screening project for cardiovascular disease in China. This Project was approved by National Health and Family Planning Commission (NHFPC), China and founded by Ministry of Finance, China in 2014. The specific objectives of the project are to: 1. identify subjects at high-risk of CVD and provide counseling for medication and lifestyle improvements 2. evaluate the feasibility of such screening methods for subjects at high risk of CVD, and to assess the effect of health counseling on CVD incidence rates and risk factors control 3. inform future intervention and long-term follow up efforts for primary and secondary CVD prevention in China.
This observation will look at patient care decisions of the primary healthcare provider utilizing the results of the DNA testing of patients' metabolic pathways using 2C19, 2C9, 2D6, 3A4, Factor II, Factor V and MTHFR and VKORC1. Findings of the data collection will be published to optimize the benefits of pharmacogenomics testing and publish health outcomes.
The purpose of the study is to generate early US feasibility data of the CardiAQ™ Transcatheter Mitral Valve Implant System. The study will enroll patients with moderate to severe mitral valve regurgitation who are considered high risk for mortality and morbidity from conventional open-heart surgery.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the initial short and long-term safety and performance of the CardiAQ™ Transcatheter Mitral Valve Implantation System using the Transapical Delivery System. The study will enroll patients with moderate to severe mitral valve regurgitation who are considered high or extreme risk for mortality and morbidity from conventional open heart surgery.
To assess the effectiveness of a clinical audit and physician based intervention in improving the management of dyslipidemia at Health centres in the Southeast Health Region of Jamaica
The proposed research brings together complementary expertise to systematically elucidate the longitudinal effects of (1) total and regional body fat and (2) the metabolic impairment that accompanies obesity on bone development during growth. The contribution of this research will be significant because it will provide a solid foundation for understanding the influence of fat (total and regional distribution) on overall bone strength, and whether insulin resistance, beta-cell dysfunction, abnormal lipids, and inflammation could be underpinning factors in the fat-bone strength relationship via effects on bone modeling activity. This knowledge will provide critical information needed to maximize potential therapeutic interventions to counter the linked risks of obesity and osteoporosis, both major public health concerns.
This study will test the hypothesis that a late sleep (Ls) and/or late meal (Lm) behavioral pattern, with equal sleep duration, will promote positive energy balance and insulin resistance (IR).
Sleep apnea involves significant increases in disease and death, but its consequences in people over 65 years of age are incompletely recognized. Intraoral mandibular advancement appliances reduce the number of apneas and hypopneas. The investigators hypothesized that oral appliances provided to the elderly may prevent hypertension and other consequences of sleep apnea in large populations, at a favorable cost/benefit relationship for the public health system.
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of death in the United States, and improved CVD risk assessment is needed for personalized medicine. Atherosclerosis measures including plaque volume and adverse plaque features have prognostic value. Novel techniques have been developed for assessing carotid, coronary, and femoral atherosclerosis using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) methods that are rapid and reproducible, have improved spatial resolution, and do not require contrast media, making atherosclerosis assessment in multiple vascular beds feasible during a single MRI session. This pilot research will provide preliminary data to develop an innovative global atherosclerosis measure including carotid, coronary, and femoral vascular beds, for assessing cardiovascular risk and for monitoring atherosclerosis response to therapy. 20 participants will be recruited in one year.
IBERICAN is a multicenter, longitudinal and observational population-based study of patients daily attended in Primary Care setting in Spain. This study is aimed to determine the prevalence and incidence of cardiovascular risk factors in adult population in Spain. Patients will be followed-up for a minimum period of 5 years, every 6 months or a lesser period when clinically required. It has been estimated that a total of 15,000 individuals will be included.
