Filter by:A growing number of patients develop atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) despite the absence of standard modifiable risk factors (SMuRF-less). There is scarcity of studies that address this issue in the Middle Eastern population.
The study aims to assess the effect of smart watches and continuous glucose measuring devices on cardiovascular risk factors.
This study represents a model for a public health program based on a general population screening for the most prevalent chronic metabolic, cardiovascular and autoimmune diseases across adulthood, childhood and adolescence. The main purpose is to assess feasibility and acceptability of using a capillary screening for this purpose. Secondly, it will be possibile to identify people at increased risk of developing one of these health conditions as well as those who are at pre-symptomatic clinical stages. Risk assessment is needed to identify prevention strategies; early diagnosis allows to start early treatment interventions aimed at reducing lifetime complications.This interventional study will enroll volunteers from Cantalupo, a locality belonging to the Municipality of Cerro Maggiore (Milan). Participants will be offered to undergo two capillary blood sampling to test blood glucose levels, glycated haemoglobin, total cholesterol, HDL-c, LDL-c, triglycerides and specific antibodies for type 1 diabetes and celiac disease. In case a participant screens positive for type I diabetes and/or celiac disease, they will be subsequently invited to undergo a new confirmatory blood draw on venous blood. Blood pressure will be also measured for each participant
The primary objective of this study is to determine whether coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) -based coronary heart disease(CHD) prevention strategy improves lipid-lowering treatment and cardiovascular risk factor control compared with traditional CHD prevention strategy, guided by a cardiovascular risk score.
This is a crossover study that will examine use behaviors, chemical exposures, and biological effects of Standardized Research Electronic Cigarette (SREC) compared to usual brand e-cigarette use in natural or synthetic nicotine users.
The cognitive trajectory varies among non-demented older adults. In a 12-year follow-up study, we found approximately 5% participants presented rapid cognitive decline. Cardiovascular diseases increased the risk of cognitive decline. However, the influence of cardiovascular risk factors on cognitive decline remained inconsistent. Besides, the potential mechanism of the cardiovascular risk factors and cognitive function has not been fully investigated. Therefore, the proposed program will include two sub-studies. The first sub-study will use the longitudinal data from the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey to evaluate the influence of cardiovascular risk factors on the trajectories of cognitive function. The second sub-study will recruit cognitive intact older adults with different levels of cardiovascular risk factors. The association among cardiovascular risk factors, cerebral blood flow, brain functional connectivity and cognitive function will be investigated with structural equation modeling. The findings of the proposed program will provide novel insight on preventing cognitive decline from the angle of maintaining healthy vascular function, and will provide evidence in elucidating the potential neurovascular mechanism between cardiovascular risk factors and cognitive function.
The XCVD study investigates the influence of sex hormones on the composition of the gut microbiome and the possible emergence of cardiovascular risk factors. It will follow 200 healthy transgender individuals for two years during their hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and analyze them for the possible emergence of cardiovascular risk factors in relation to changes in the gut microbiome, metabolome, and immunome. We would also like to phenotype cardiovascular disease.
This study is a mechanistic clinical trial designed to investigate the effects of the circadian system and sleep on non-dipping blood pressure (BP) in people with hypertension (HTN).
ORFAN is a prospective, multi-centre, multi-ethnic cohort observational study collecting CT scans, biological material and outcomes data, to develop and validate novel biomarkers of cardiometabolic and other disease risk.
The purpose of this study is to explore the effects of a multidisciplinary worksite intervention program on biological cardiovascular risk factors.
