Filter by:OBJECTIVES Main objective: To assess if six months of treatment with CPAP, associated with conventional treatment, improves the lipid profile of patients with dyslipidemia and mild-moderate apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSA). Secondary objectives: - Determine the additional effect of CPAP on insulin resistance and dyslipidemia in patients with mild-moderate OSA. - Assess the impact of CPAP treatment in reducing cardiovascular risk in patients with dyslipidemia and mild-moderate OSA. DESIGN Randomized, parallel group, non-blind, controlled clinical trial with conventional treatment. STUDY POPULATION 35-75 year old subjects, diagnosed with dyslipidemia in last six months and in stable treatment during the last month with diet, cholesterol lowering drug, and cholesterol LDL levels> 100 mg / dl in the last two successive visits clinics. Sample size. 38 patients who completed the test in each treatment arm. TREATMENT Patients will be randomized to one of the following treatment arms form: 1. hygiene and dietary recommendations. 2. lifestyle intervention (more strict and promotion of daily physical activity and dietary control). 3. Treatment with positive airway pressure (CPAP). ENDPOINTS: Efficacy endpoints. - Primary endpoint: LDL-cholesterol. - Total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, triglycerides and C-reactive protein high sensitivity (hsCRP). - Systemic Biomarkers: inflammatory (IL-6, IL-8 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α), oxidative stress (8-isoprostane), endothelial damage (endothelin, vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM-1) and Intercellular Adhesion Molecule 1 (ICAM-1)), sympathetic activity (neuropeptide Y) and appetite-regulating hormones (leptin, orexin A / hypocretin-1 and ghrelin). - Fasting glucose, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), fasting insulin and Homeostasis Model Assessment (HOMA) index and quantitative insulin sensitivity check index (QUICKI), thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH). - Clinical questionnaires: short-form (SF)-12, EuroQoL, Functional Outcomes of Sleep Questionnaire (FOSQ) and International physical activity questionnaire (IPAQ). Security endpoints. - Notification of clinical adverse events. - Compliance with CPAP (average hours use per day). - Epworth Sleepiness Questionnaire. - Development of cardiovascular events.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of oral azilsartan once daily for 32 weeks on coronary artery plaque in essential hypertensive patients with stable angina and dyslipidemia.
To evaluate the effects of H.E.L.P. apheresis on lipid profile, Lp(a) level, and some inflammatory adypocytokines in patients with high cardiovascular risk.
This study will evaluate and compare the effectiveness of MK-0653 (Vytorin) to current standard treatment with other statins for the treatment of dyslipidemia in moderate, moderately-high and high-risk participants.
The study intends to investigate whether genetics influence how individuals respond to statins (clinical outcomes and changes in carotid intimal media thickness)
The purpose of this study is to establish the proportion of patients on lipid-lowering pharmacological treatment (statin or combination) reaching the LDL-C goals according to the updated 2004 National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III (NCEP ATP III) guidelines.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of repeated doses of RN316 in eligible healthy volunteers. RN316 is an investigational drug that is currently being studied as a cholesterol lowering therapy.
The present project is aimed at describing the statins prescription pattern in Spanish patients. It will also look into how adequate these prescriptions are accordingly to the recommendations given in Treatment Guidelines and in the Summary Product Information.
The purpose of this study is to determine if taking green tea capsules can help prevent weight gain in patients that start therapy with Zyprexa® (olanzapine).
The purpose of this study is to test the effect of MK0524A (niacin (+) laropiprant) on lowering bad cholesterol and raising good cholesterol.
