Filter by:The purpose of this 90 day study is to demonstrate the extent to which participants with cardiovascular conditions can improve their recovery at home through a mobile app, support and resources made available to them after hospitalization. The study will evaluate the effectiveness of personal care intervention support, including one-on-one guidance, educational information, check-ins, and Laguna's mobile app to help participants recover better after hospitalization.
The goal of this observational study is to learn about in a total of approximately 2000 patients with cardiovascular disease recruited from about 25 participating sites in China with eGFR<60 ml/min/1.73 m2 and/or UACR>30 mg/g at least twice 3 months apart within the previous 12 months who had been hospitalized in the cardiology department within the previous 12 months. The main questions it aims to answer are: - To estimate the diagnosis rate of CKD in patients with cardiovascular disease and laboratory evidence of CKD - To describe the CKD awareness and treatment pattern in patients with cardiovascular disease and laboratory evidence of CKD. - To describe the socio-demographic and clinical characteristics of CKD in patients with cardiovascular disease and laboratory evidence of CKD Participants will be invited to undergo a baseline visit, and the demographics, lifestyle factors, clinical characteristics, and laboratory tests will be collected.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate a community pharmacist intervention aimed at improving medication adherence in patients starting newly prescribed medication for cardiovascular disease prevention. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does this community pharmacist intervention improve medication adherence? - Which patients benefit the most from the intervention? - How do patients experience the start-up of newly prescribed medication (which questions do they have and do they experience side effects?)? - How do patients and pharmacists experience the intervention?
This trial is a Randomized, Double-Blind (Sponsor-Open), Placebo-Controlled Study to Assess the Effect of NT-0796 on Inflammation in Obese Participants at Risk of Cardiovascular Disease. Participants will be admitted to an in-patient Clinical Research Unit on Day -1 and will be discharged on Day 30. The trial will include a 7-day out-patient safety follow-up period following the last dose of study treatment. For the first approximately 20 participants effect of food will be evaluated on the Pharmacokinetics of NT-0796. MRI's will be conducted in a subset of participants.
Prior studies have shown that impaired endogenous fibrinolysis is a novel, independent cardiovascular risk factor in patients with myocardial infarction and there is currently no known chronic treatment to enhance endogenous fibrinolysis. To date, no therapies have been able to sufficiently reduce Lp(a) and therefore it was considered to be a non-modifiable cardiovascular risk factor. New data, however, has shown that PCSK9 inhibitors and inclisiran (medication that you have been deemed eligible for in order to help further reduce your cholesterol levels) to reduce Lp(a) levels by approximately 20-25%. The aim of this study to is to assess: 1. if there is an association between raised Lp(a) level in blood and the effectiveness of endogenous fibrinolysis (lysis time). 2. whether lowering Lp(a) with PCSK9i or inclisiran can enhance endogenous fibrinolysis
This study will collect medical and background information from participants with diseases that affect the heart and blood vessels (cardiovascular disease). Participants will continue their normal care and will not get any treatment other than those the study doctor has prescribed.
Healthcare providers recognize the need for behavior change and the influence of social determinants on youth at risk for poor cardiovascular health (CVH), especially among those of low-socioeconomic status (SES). Yet, providers lack the time and community data necessary to provide tailored, evidence-based care within routine practice. This project will use an Interventional Informatics approach to help providers prescribe patient-centered, evidence-based physical activity and nutrition prescriptions and link patients to community resources to account for social determinants at the point-of-care. This project will integrate our existing, novel, Patient-centered Real-timE interVENTion (PREVENT) tool into the BJC electronic health record (EHR) and test it with providers and adolescent patients at-risk for poor CVH. EHR integration of PREVENT will enable a cyclical, synergistic and data-centric approach to impact modifiable risk factors (physical activity and food intake) and prevent cardiovascular disease. This approach uses health informatics technology (HIT) to deliver data-driven, patient-centered care and generate evidence to support the use of HIT as a way to prevent cardiovascular disease across diverse patients and communities.
This study will examine the effect of a healthy diet containing 2 eggs per day compared to a healthy diet containing 3 eggs per week on biomarkers of heart health after 4 weeks.
The goal of this study is whether the T-REX Twente precautions have a positive impact on the quality of life (MAcNew QLMI), level of physical activity, and reduction of fear of movement in heart patients after a total median sternotomy compared to the (current) standard precautions? Do these precautions also have no adverse effects on pain, wound healing, and/or postoperative complications? Participants will be instructed by the physiotherapist to both groups immediately postoperatively and are constantly repeated by the involved disciplines during the hospital stay. The control group is not allowed to lift, push, or pull for the first 6 weeks. There is little to no evidence for the current strict precautions currently implemented in the department. The intervention group receives the new T-REX Twente precautions, allowing for more independent activities through the use of the tube model (keeping elbows close to the sides). All patients receive three questionnaires (MacNew QLMI, Numeric Pain Rating Scale, and Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia) preoperatively, on the 4th day postoperatively, on the first day of cardiac rehabilitation, and at the end of cardiac rehabilitation, taking approximately 10 minutes each time. Additionally, during the clinical admission immediately postoperatively, two AX3 accelerometers are placed on the patient, one lateroproximal on the right upper arm and one anterodistal on the right upper leg. Researchers will compare heart patients after a total median sternotomy with T-REX Twente precautions (intervention group) to the (current) standard precautions (control group).
The North Kynouria Project was initiated to study cardiovascular/stroke risk factors by employing mass screening and long-term surveillance of an adult population in the municipality of North Kynouria, in the county of Arcadia, Peloponnese, Greece. The North Kynouria Study was initiated to assess modifiable and non-modifiable determinants of cerebrovascular and coronary heart disease.
