Filter by:This is a double blind randomised controlled feasibility study investigating the effect of postnatal enalapril on cardiovascular function in women who have had preterm pre-eclampsia. Participants will be randomised to 6 months of enalapril or placebo within 3 days of delivery. Cardiovascular function will be assessed using serial echocardiography and biomarkers.
The investigators plan to evaluate the correlation between carotid plaque enhancement on Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS), significant coronary artery disease (CAD), and cardiovascular (CV) outcomes in a systematic manner. The investigators hypothesize that increased levels of CEUS-detected vulnerable carotid plaque will be predictive of CV risk determined by angiography and future cardiovascular events.
The purpose of this study is to explore how working with a partner can influence participation in a church wellness program. There are many different types of church wellness programs. Church members are more likely to participate and achieve goals in these programs when they have peer support. The researcher would like to know what African American men and women think about working with a support partner. This information will help researchers design better church wellness programs. The participants are being asked to take part in this research because the investigators believe that it is helpful to share feelings and thoughts about experiences working with a partner to achieve health goals. This knowledge will be used to create church wellness programs that will help African American men and women prevent disease and live healthier lives.
Aim of this study is to give evidence to outpatient cardiac rehabilitation in Austria. The database created in this context is supposed to pave the way as instrument to document and comprehend quality of outpatient cardiac rehabilitation in Austria as a key for quality management. Analyses of the created database should be made on a regular basis.
This study investigates the differences between subjects with and without periodontitis in: the prevalence of (pre)diabetes mellitus, the risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, the prevalence of metabolic syndrome and the risk of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome.
The purpose of this trial is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of sonodynamic therapy (SDT) on reducing atherosclerotic plaques inflammation among patients with symptomatic femoropopliteal peripheral artery disease.
The primary objective of this study is to investigate if consumption of lower protein formula can slow the rate of weight gain of formula-fed infants between 3 and 12 months of age. Secondary objectives include investigation into whether infant nutrition and growth have an impact on later risk of obesity and cardiovascular disease.
Shift work deeply impacts on temporal organization leading to a circadian desynchronization, which translates into a worsening of the sleep quality and work ability during waking hours. Furthermore, also the fine motor control skills and the subjective mood profile could undergo modifications in relation to the acquired sleep debt. The misalignment between working time and physiological/behavioral functions could have negative influences on the levels of spontaneous daily activity, with possible alteration of the activity-rest rhythm of the worker, especially in clinics. In relation to the participants' chronotype, the aim of this project will be to evaluate the effect of irregular working hours (shift work) on (i) the sleep quality, (ii) the circadian rhythm of activity levels and, (iii) the motor control. These assessments will help to identify the shift type with less impact on the health status in a nurse cohort.
The investigators will conduct an epidemiological analysis of data from the Women's Health Initiative to investigate the prospective association between chocolate intake and the risk of heart disease and stroke.
The principal objective is analyzed whether a selective intervention no pharmacological (use of ABPM +/- prescription of physical exercise) for cardiovascular risk factors in patients with high cardiovascular risk in primary prevention is associated with a decrease in cardiovascular risk measured using the risk Score tables for countries with a low risk. It will be independently analized the effectiveness of systematic use of ABPM and the prescription of physical exercise.
