The aim of the Cork and Kerry Study Phase II (Mitchelstown cohort recruited 2010-11) is to provide an updated profile of glucose tolerance status, cardiovascular health and their related factors in an Irish adult general population sample and to compare the findings with those obtained during baseline assessment of Phase I of the Cork and Kerry study (1998) and the rescreen (2008).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the drug interaction between CKD-519 and rosuvastatin in healthy male subjects.
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is usually used to refer to the pathological problem affecting the coronary arteries (usually atherosclerosis) that leads to Coronary Heart disease (CHD) which includes the diagnoses of angina pectoris, MI and silent myocardial ischemia. Despite the mortality for this condition has gradually declined over the last decades in western countries, it still causes about one-third of all deaths in people older than 35 years. Dyslipidemia is very important risk factors of atherosclerosis that is one of the causes leading to cardiovascular disease Despite management of dyslipidemia by controling fasting total plasma cholesterol and LDL cholesterol as these are the best biomarkers for prediction of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) risk. LDL elevation is absent in many patients with atherosclerosis and about 1/3 of cardiac events remains to be unpredicted using this method. Even more, in fasting normolipidemic subjects, increased CVD risk is associated with an exaggerated postprandial lipemic response. Postprandial dyslipidemia is defined as a rise in triglyceride-rich lipoproteins (TRLs), including chylomicron remnants (CMRs) and remnant lipoproteins (RLPs), after eating, has drawn an increasing interest recently because of its association with cardiovascular events. Chylomicron remnants (CMRs) have been shown to penetrate the artery wall and to be retained within the intima. Endothelial dysfunction is an initial process of atherogenesis and it contributes to the pathogenesis of CHD. Postprandial hyperlipidemia (postprandial hypertriglyceridemia) is involved in the production of proinflammatory cytokines, recruitment of neutrophils, and generation of oxidative stress, resulting in endothelial dysfunction
Cardiovascular Diseases (CVDs) are the leading causes of death in the world and in Brazil. In 2001, 12.45 million deaths on the globe (21% of the total) were caused by some CVD. The composition of modern man's diet has changed drastically with the industrialization of food, resulting in the transition from a diet rich in fibers and complex carbohydrates to one with a high content of sugars and fats. Since the current dietary pattern is characterized by the consumption of three or more meals a day, containing a quantity of fat in the range of 20 to 70 g, individuals spend a large part of the day in the postprandial state, with continuous fluctuation of lipemia Over 18 hours. Food intake (postprandial state) is the dynamic, unstable response of the body that refers to rapid hormonal and lipoprotein remodeling. It is well established in the literature that high-fat meals (lipid overload) cause an increase in plasma triglycerides. Hypertriglyceridemia and / or elevated triglyceride-rich lipoproteins (LRT) (chylomicrons, VLDL and their remnants) in the postprandial state induces endothelial dysfunction via increased oxidative stress and is an independent risk factor for CVDs. Therefore, Postprandial Lipemia (PPL) is counted as an early marker of atherosclerotic process, metabolic abnormalities and endothelial dysfunction. High-carbohydrate (CHO) diets may promote increased LDL-c, TG, VLDL and HDL-c reduction, as well as PPL, generating a lipid profile associated with an increased risk of CVDs. This effect appears to be more pronounced with the inclusion of simple carbohydrates (mono and disaccharides), although it also occurs with diets rich in complex carbohydrates (polysaccharides). High fructose diets (HFDs) are a known model of induction of insulin resistance, dyslipidemia and DM2 in primates and humans. The chronic effect of fructose consumption has been well studied in the last decades due to its connection with obesity, resistance to Insulin, accumulation of visceral fat and dyslipidemia. As the consumption of fructose is progressively increasing in society and its chronic exposure can generate a phenotypic effect of dyslipidemia and, consequently, the increased risk of CVDs, prevention and treatment strategies should be seen as an important public health issue . Thus, the objective of this study is to understand the effects of exercise on fat metabolism, since there is a lack of robust evidence about the possible cardioprotective and hypolipemic role of the same on HFD.
This study is a randomized controlled trial (RCT) and there will be two groups: an intervention group and a control group. Nurse practitioners (NPs) across Newfoundland and Labrador (NL) who agree to participate will be randomly assigned to one of the two groups. The NPs in the intervention group will be asked to screen about 30 individuals aged 40-74 years without established cardiovascular disease (CVD) that currently come to their clinics. The NPs will be asked to screen these patients for CVD using a set of specific data collection tools that will be in electronic format. The control group will carry on with usual practice. Their charts will be reviewed by the researchers at a later date. At the end of the study, the screening program, with tools and strategies for CVD screening, will be given to NPs in the control group.
This platform will enable investigation the cardiovascular risk reduction and the increase in participant engagement in their heart-healthy goals, through the use of virtual care/telemedicine with a digital platform that connects them to their own doctors, nurses, and dietitians.
The objective of this clinical study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety by comparing the fimasartan/amlodipine/rosuvastatin treatment group to the fimasartan/amlodipine treatment group and the fimasartan/rosuvastatin treatment group respectively at Week 8 in patients with essential hypertension and dyslipidemia who fail to respond to the fimasartan monotherapy.
