Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to test a gait (walking) training program in non-ambulatory (unable to walk) chronic stroke survivors. The main question it aims to answer is: • Will gait training improve the cardiovascular system in non-ambulatory chronic stroke survivors better than a sitting leg cycling exercise? Participants will walk on a treadmill with a partial body-weight support system and the gait training device. Researchers will compare with a leg-cycling exercise to see if there are significant differences in resting heart rate, systolic blood pressure (SBP), and A1c levels in the blood.
The purpose of this study determine the difference in hemodynamic effects of synthetic and natural caffeine consumption in healthy individuals through blood pressure (central and peripheral) assessment. Participants will randomly be assigned to consume either one 8oz cup of coffee containing 400mg of caffeine (increased caffeine using concentrated coffee) or one 8oz cup of coffee-flavored drink with approximately 400mg synthetic caffeine from capsules dissolved in it.
Learning about the impact of anti-androgen treatment has on cardiac function in patients with prostate cancer may help plan treatment and help patients live more comfortably. This pilot clinical trial will utilize cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) before a patient starts hormone therapy and after 4 to 7 months of hormone therapy. The objective is to measure the impact of hormone therapy (anti-androgen treatment) on cardiac function in patients with prostate cancer.
The Multicenter Ozone Study in Elderly Subjects will investigate whether short-term exposure of elderly volunteers to ambient levels of ozone in a controlled exposure setting causes acute cardiovascular responses as assessed by changes in blood pressure, cardiac function, and systemic biomarkers of inflammation, endothelial dysfunction, and thrombosis.
