Filter by:World Health Organization report notifies of the escalating global burden of cardiovascular diseases (CVD), projecting that it will become the major worldwide cause of death and disability by 2020. The South Asian countries have the highest rates of CVD globally. It is widely acknowledged that South Asians have 40-60% higher risk of CVD linked to mortality, compared with other populations. Multiple human population studies have established the concentration of high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol as an independent, inverse predictor of the risk of having a cardiovascular event. Furthermore, HDLs have several well-documented functions with the potential to protect against cardiovascular disease. This study trial is designed to find out the role of intermittent fasting to improve the dyslipidemia and particularly increase the levels of HDL in general population. Investigators expect that the intermittent fasting will significantly enhance the level of HDL and reduce cardiovascular events in general population.

This study trial is designed to find out the role of alternative medicine such as functional food to improve the dyslipidemia and particularly increase the levels of HDL in general population. We expect that the use of Ajwa dates will significantly enhance the level of HDL and reduce cardiovascular events in general population.
Gallbladder disease is one of the most common diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. Various studies have shown an association between gallstones and an alteration in the serum lipids. The objective of this study will be to compare serum lipid profile of gallstone patients with the controls.
ATERA Survey is a national cross sectional observational study, aiming to determine the prevalence of dyslipidemia and other conventional risk factors for CHD (Coronary Heart Disease), the relationship between environmental and lifestyle factors with dyslipidemia, the perception and the knowledge of cardiovascular risk factors by the population, and above all, to strengthen the national strategy for primary and secondary prevention against coronary heart disease.
The clinical Investigation will be performed to compare the safety and effectiveness of the CE certified and established lipoprotein apheresis systems MONET vs. DALI and DIAMED vs. DALI for optimizing the individual therapy of patients with severe dyslipidemia using established and novel efficacy parameters.
The overall goal is to identify trends and longitudinal associations in psychosocial, food-related, and cardiometabolic risk factors that can guide public health priorities and future research needs aimed at reducing cardiovascular-related disparities in Puerto Rico. To this end, investigators will establish 'PROSPECT: Puerto Rico Observational Study of Psychosocial, Environmental, and Chronic disease Trends', an island-wide, longitudinal population cohort of 2,000 adults (30-75 years) in PR recruited with a community-wide sampling strategy, and assessed in a network of several partner clinics across the island. The study will collect comprehensive data on multiple psychosocial, dietary, and food-related factors, CVD biological markers, and medical record data, with follow-up at 2-years, and will assess variations by urban-rural area and by timing before-after Maria.
Patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) are at increased risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ACVD). The achievement of the LDL-C target with statins for the reduction of ACVD risk is recommended. However, the risk is still present. Therefore, we investigated the impact of high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), sortilin, adiponectin and leptin biomarkers that linking inflammatory hypothesis of diabetes mellitus and atherosclerosis in diabetic patients treated with rosuvastatin and atrovastatin. Methods: Based on exclusion criteria, 150 type 2 diabetic patients were eligible and randomly assigned to receive either 40 mg per day atorvastatin (ATROVA group, n= 80) or 10 mg per day rosuvastatin (ROSUVA group, n= 80) for 6 months.
The investigators conduct a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to investigate the effects of the Ulmus Macrocarpa Hance extract on lipid profile in adults with dyslipidemia for 12 weeks.
The EARLY trial is a phase IV, investigator initiated, international, multicentre study that will investigate if early use of alirocumab 150mg plus atorvastatin 80mg (enhanced care) will have a greater effect than atorvastatin 80mg (standard care) on the reduction of LDL-C at 2-weeks after a myocardial infarction (MI), in patients who start treatment within 24 hours of symptom onset. A secondary goal is to assess the effects of enhanced care when compared to standard care which is either atorvastatin alone or atorvastatin plus ezetimibe, (the latter added at 4 weeks if LDL-C is ≥ 70mg/dL (1.8mmol/L), on the proportion of patients achieving an LDL-C goal of < 50mg/dL (1.29 mmol/L) at 7 weeks after an MI.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetcs and pharmacodynamics of single- and multiple doses of ARO-ANG3 in healthy adult volunteers and in dyslipidemic patients including familial hypercholesterolemia and severe hypertriglyceridemia.
