Filter by:This is a randomized, two-arm, open label, Phase IV clinical trial to evaluate if the provision of a smart phone-based patient support tool prolongs the patient's rosuvastatin treatment duration.
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of water-based exercises on lipid profile (LP) and lipoprotein lipase (LPL) levels in premenopausal dyslipidemic women. It was hypothesized that a water-based aerobic interval-training period would decrease plasma concentrations of atherogenic lipoproteins and concomitantly increase HDL and LPL levels, as well as maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) values.
A study to measure the absorption, metabolism and excretion of a single dose of radiolabelled TA-8995 (10mg) in healthy male subjects.
In previous study the investigators found that CoQ10 can improve cholesterol efflux from macrophages in cell model, ApoE mice model and small-scale of healthy volunteers. In addition, CoQ10 has strong antioxidant activity and is an essential factor of mitochondria electron transport chain. So the investigators hypothesize that CoQ10 may have some health promotion effect on dyslipidemia, risk factor of atherosclerosis and other cardiovascular diseases. On this purpose, the investigators are going to recruit 150 dyslipidemia patients to supply CoQ10+vitamin E or CoQ10 alone or placebo in different doses for 24 weeks to explore the effects of CoQ10 on cholesterol efflux and lipid profiles on dyslipidemia.
Treatment of hypercholesterolemia is based on the guidelines of ESC-EAS 2011 (European Heart Journal (2011) 32, 1769-1818, ESC / EAS Guidelines for the management of dyslipidaemias) These calculate the 10 year risk based on SCORE tables - Systematic COronary Risk Estimation and taking into account specific parameters in the patient's profile.
Hypercholesterolemia, a major cause of disease burden in both the developed and developing world, is estimated to cause 2.6 million deaths annually (4.5% of all deaths) and one third of ischemic heart diseases., and result in 29.7 million DALY lost. In Argentina, the prevalence of hypercholesterolemia increased between 2005 and 2013 from 27.9% to 29.8%, whereas the rate of non-optimal LDL-C, was 28.0%. The rate of high cholesterol awareness was 37.3 % and the proportion of those who are under pharmacological treatment was dismally low: only 11.1%. Furthermore, only one out of four subjects with a self-reported diagnosis of coronary heart disease (CHD) is taking statins. and most individuals with CHD who are on statins have sub-optimal LDL-C levels. Although other antihypertensive, antidiabetic and low-dose aspirin were available free-of-charge at the primary care clinics of the public sector, statins had not been included until recently. As of 2014, statins (simvastatin 20mg) were incorporated into the package of drugs provided free-of-charge for patients with high cholesterol, according to CVD risk stratification. The goal of this study is to test whether a multifaceted educational intervention targeting physicians and pharmacist assistants, improves detection, treatment and control of hypercholesterolemia among uninsured patients with moderate to high cardiovascular risk in Argentina. Specifically, the intervention will test whether a multifaceted educational intervention program lowers LDL-cholesterol levels and CVD risk in moderate to high cardiovascular risk patients, improves physician compliance with clinical practice guidelines, and improves patient care management and adherence to medication. A cost-effectiveness study will be conducted to compare the intervention to the usual standard of care. This randomized cluster trial will enroll 350 patients from 10 public primary care clinics who will be assigned to receive either the intervention or the usual care. This study is timely and will generate urgently needed data on effective and, practical and sustainable intervention programs aimed at the prevention and control of CVD risk that can be directly used in other primary care settings and health care systems in LMICs.
This will be a single center, open label, randomized, cross-over study in patients with dyslipidemia comparing the pharmacokinetics of rosuvastatin and atorvastatin in patients with greater than or equal to one variant allele in the SLCO1B1 gene (-11187 and/or c.521) to patients with the wild-type/wild-type genotype. The studies goal is to establish the role of genetic variation and development in key transporters on the dose-exposure relationship of two commonly used statin drugs in children. This study is the first step in a series of investigations aimed to determining the mechanisms behind variations in physiologic response, clinical efficacy and significant adverse effect risk that surround the statin drugs in children and adolescents.
Specific Aim 1: To compare the metabolic fate (transport, conversion and oxidation) of labeled 18:0 (13C18:0) and its metabolic product 18:1 (13C18:1) in the fed state after habituation to diets enriched in the corresponding fatty acid. Hypothesis: In the fed state, the metabolic fate of 13C18:0 compared to 13C18:1 will be characterized by similar transport, higher conversion, and similar oxidation rates..
Coadministration of drugs is common in the pharmacologic treatment of dyslipidemia, with statins and ezetimibe generally constituting the medication of choice. By acting at different levels, the combination of these drugs allows the therapeutic objective to be achieved. However, it is not known how these drugs qualitatively affect the composition of lipoprotein subfractions, which differ in size and atherogenic potential. The investigators set out to evaluate this effect as well as their effects on inflammatory, oxidative stress and endothelial function parameters.
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in the U.S. Efforts to improve CVD risk factors often fall short in complex patients with multiple co-morbid conditions, a growing, expensive, and high-risk segment of the U.S. population. The investigators are testing a multi-component behavioral intervention designed to help complex patients with CVD and other concurrent chronic conditions to become more effective agents of their own care.
