Filter by:With effective anti-retroviral therapy, non-communicable diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases, have become the major cause of morbidity and mortality for people living with HIV. There is only limited data evaluating the burden and risk factors of cardiovascular disease in the Asian HIV-infected population. Accurate non-invasive tools for prediction of cardiovascular disease, particularly in Asian HIV-infected populations, are urgently needed. Recently, more detailed evaluation of the complex retinal vasculature has been made feasible with advances in digitalized retinal imaging techniques. This study aims 1. to determine the prevalence of coronary atherosclerosis and obstructive coronary artery disease HIV-infected individuals with one or more cardiovascular disease risk factors in Asia. 2. to determine the performance of automatic retinal image analysis (ARIA) in predicting the risk of coronary artery disease in HIV-infected individuals, as compared to traditional risk prediction tools. Patients will undergo a coronary CT angiogram, followed by an automatic retinal image analysis within 4 weeks post completion of CT angiogram.
The overall objective is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ezetimibe (SCH 058235/MK-0653) 10 mg administered daily in conjunction with atorvastatin in participants with Heterozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia (HeFH) or in participants with coronary heart disease (CHD) or multiple cardiovascular risk factors (≥2 risk factors) and primary hypercholesterolemia not controlled by a starting dose (10 mg/day) of atorvastatin. The primary hypothesis is that the coadministration of ezetimibe 10 mg/day with atorvastatin therapy will result in a significantly greater proportion of participants achieving target low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) (≤100 mg/dL) when compared to the atorvastatin administered alone.
The primary intention of the study is to examine the effect of aged garlic extract (AGE) on the absolute change in coronary artery calcium (CAC). The second intention is to examine the effect of AGE on inflammatory biomarkers and microcirculation. It is a double blind placebo controlled study. The participants will ingest AGE during a period of one year. The CAC will be controlled by computer tomography (CT) scan; the inflammatory biomarkers through blood sample test and the microcirculation through laser speckel imagining and laser doppler before and after the one year period of AGE ingestion.
Low motivation to exercise is one of the barriers to participation in cardiac rehabilitation. Fear of activity after a cardiac event is associated with low levels of physical activity. This study aimed to develop and validate a scale to measure fear of activity in patients with coronary artery disease.
To improve the cardiopulmonary endurance in Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) patients. Internationally in cardiac hospital facility of cardiac rehabilitation is available to improve the patient's physical activity and decrease the list of secondary complications. But in Pakistan ideal phase II cardiac rehabilitation is limited available in limited hospitals due to cost issues and limited resources for monitoring during exercise. A Randomized control trail Study was conducted in Armed force institute of cardiology (AFIC) Rawalpindi. The Total sample size was 74 post (CABG). The aim of study was to influence of Tai chai on coronary artery bypass surgery patients.
The purposes of this study were to compare blood pressure responses of the same target heart rate on different exercise modes in patients with coronary artery diseases (CAD) and to compare the effects of blood pressure responses after exercise training. The investigators will recruit 30 subjects with CAD who are referred to phase II cardiopulmonary rehabilitation exercise training. The subjects performed the treadmill or stationary bicycle exercise randomly.
This study is designed to assess tolerability of the weight-adjusted dose of RUC-4 (mg/kg) required to achieve 80% or more inhibition of the initial slope of platelet aggregation to 20 µM ADP by Light Transmission Aggregometry (LTA) within 15 minutes of SC administration of RUC-4 with return toward baseline values within 4 hours in healthy volunteers and subjects on aspirin with stable coronary artery disease (CAD). In the Dose Expansion Part, VerifyNow PRUTest will be used to measure platelet aggregation in addition to LTA. Since the goal of RUC-4 therapy is to achieve maximal antiplatelet therapy as rapidly as possible, first the tolerability of the weight-adjusted dose (mg/kg) that inhibits ADP-induced platelet aggregation by 80% or more in 5 of 6 healthy volunteers will be identified. A similar dose escalation will be subsequently performed in subjects with CAD who are taking aspirin. To facilitate administration using a single weight-adjusted (mg/kg) dose for a defined group of subjects weighing between 55 and 120 kg, the study will also evaluate the safety and biologic effect on platelet aggregation of the weight adjusted (mg/kg) dose when administered to subjects with weights at either end of this range.
The purpose of this study is to determine the optimal cooling strategies to alleviate cardiovascular strain of coronary artery disease individuals during a simulated North American and Australian heatwave.
Sleep-wake disturbances were found to be a common problem among patients with CHD either earlier during hospitalization or/ and after discharge Although there is an evidence that sleep-wake disturbanes occur in high rate among patients with CHD little was found about assessment and management of this problem. This randomized controlled study will assess sleep quality of stable CHD patients who were admitted for undergoing coronary angiography electively. Then it will test the hypothesis that atlas cedar wood essential oil aromatherapy have a positive effect on sleep quality of CHD patients.
