Filter by:This study will perform a prospective, longitudinal analysis of clinical and imaging findings from normal controls and subjects with retinal vascular disease to better define the diagnostic imaging criteria that signify change in disease stage. This includes disease progression in early stages of disease or disease regression with appropriate standard-of-care treatment.
Recent studies on catecholamine physiology have shown a direct correlation with arterial hypertension, overcoming the exclusive role in the diagnosis and follow-up of chromaffin tumors. Nevertheless, in literature, few studies explore and reveal the utility of testing metanephrines for the evaluation of sympathetic activity and its associated cardiometabolic complications in patients with essential hypertension.
A Randomized, Double-blind, Multicenter, Factorial Design, Phase II Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Irbesartan and Amlodipine Combined or Alone in Patients With Essential Hypertension
Ambulatory blood pressure measurement is more demanding in terms of technical equipment and specially trained staff. If blood pressure measurement in a self-care room is on average equivalent to the ambulatory blood pressure daytime monitoring of hypertension in primary care could be simplified. We therefore want to examine patients monitored for hypertension (ICD 10) with three different methods: conventional blood pressure measurement in office, self-directed automated measurement and ambulatory blood pressure, starting in December 2020. We will also offer an interview covering cardiovascular risk factors, at time for enrollment and after 6 months. The study was approved to include 150 adult study patients (The swedish ethical review authority 2020-01375), men and women, where diagnosis and treatment of hypertension is relevant after a clinical evaluation.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety by assessing all serious and non-serious adverse events (AEs), irrespective of relatedness or expectedness, as well as other safety parameters including laboratory values, serious adverse events (SAEs)/serious adverse drug reactions (ADRs), unexpected AEs and ADRs that are not reflected on the precaution in the use, ADRs already known, non-serious ADRs and other safety related information (laboratory values changes, etc).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety by determining the incidence rates of all adverse events (AEs) including serious adverse events (SAEs)/serious adverse drug reactions (ADRs), unexpected AEs and ADRs that are not reflected on the precaution in the use, ADRs already known, non-serious ADRs and other safety related information (laboratory values changes, etc).
Objective: To investigate the effect of aromatherapy on blood pressure and stress response by inhalation and foot massage in individuals with essential hypertension. Methods: The randomized controlled trial is performed with 69 individuals diagnosed with essential hypertension hospitalized. There are two interventions (group 1: aromatherapy-inhalation method, group 2: aromatherapy-foot massage) and a control group in the study. Blood pressure is measured with a digital sphygmomanometer after 10 minutes of rest; stress response is determined by heart rate, blood cortisol levels and anxiety scale. Aromatherapy with lavender oil is applied to the intervention groups; no application is made to the control group and routine follow-up at the hospital continued.
High dietary salt is associated with immune activation, elevated levels of inflammatory cytokines and hypertension in murine models. Hypertension is independently associated with inflammation in both murine studies and studies in humans. In people living with HIV, these interactions are not well established. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of excess dietary salt on immune cell activation, pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines and blood pressure between individuals with and without hypertension among people living with HIV and HIV negative persons.
Mounting preclinical and clinical evidences have proved the causal role of gut microbiota on the pathogenesis of primary hypertension. Restoration of gut microbiota ameliorated high BP in rodents and/or human cases.A hypothesis is thus raised that gut microbiome restoration can be a potential approach to ameliorate hypertension. This pilot study will utilize fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) capsules, in comparison with placebo capsules, to investigate the effect, safety and underlying mechanisms of gut microbiome restoration on primary hypertension.
Mounting preclinical and clinical evidences have proved the optimal role of diets (i.e. DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) diet, Mediterranean diet) on BP control and a causal role of gut microbiota on the pathogenesis of primary hypertension. Dietary changes appeared to reshape gut microbiota and to ameliorate diseases such as Type 2 Diabetes. A hypothesis is thus raised that dietary changes can be a potential approach to ameliorate hypertension via gut microbiome restoration. This pilot study will utilize an innovative natural dietary formulation (patent ID: CN110250417A), in comparison with classic antihypertensive treatment (losartan 50mg per day) and usual care (guideline-based patient education and lifestyle recommendations), to investigate its effect and safety on primary hypertension treatment, and the underlying mechanisms of gut microbiome restoration.
