Filter by:The study aims at investigating the role of cyanotic congenital heart disease (cCHD) on brain aging. The investigators assume that due to congenital and acquired cardiovascular abnormalities, cCHD patients could show radiologic (and clinical) signs of precocious brain aging and eventual cognitive decline.
The rationale of MIDA trial is to determine efficacy and tolerability of ranolazine molecule among Pakistan population and obtain firsthand knowledge about the molecule ranolazine.
The purpose of this study is to determine if there is a difference in the size and the depth of the radial artery at the access points for established radial and new distal radial approach for the arteries of both arms
This is a observational、multicenter, prospective cohort study for adults with significant VHD. The purposes of this study were to evaluate the etiology、clinical characteristics、treatment modalities, and outcomes of patients with VHD；also to set up registration system of adult VHD in China, to build a database of Chinese adult VHD, to establish a web-based international standard data acquisition system for VHD and a multicenter clinical research platform. The results of the study will provide a basis for the future national health policy for prevention and treatment of adult VHD.
Background Coronary heart disease has become a serious challenge to China with its high prevalence and mortality. The impaired glucose regulation is prevalent in patients with cardiovascular disease. However, there are few drugs that interfere early with impaired glucose regulation. Ginkgo biloba extract is not only a commonly used drug for cardiovascular diseases, but also has a significant effect in reducing blood sugar. Therefore, this study used a single case randomized controlled trial to explore the efficacy of Ginkgo biloba pills in the treatment of coronary heart disease patients with impaired glucose regulation. Methods This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, three-period crossover trial for a single subject.A total of 12 subjects will be recruited in this trial. The trial is divided into three cycles, one cycle has two treatment periods. Ginkgo biloba pills and placebo will be randomized during the treatment period. The test period will be lasted 58 weeks and subjects will take 48 weeks. Subjects will be selected by the researcher strictly in accordance with the inclusion and exclusion criteria.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the acceptance of a salt restricted diet cooked with a controlled amount of salt in patients with heart disease. Verifying if there is difference in the acceptance of the standard and hyposodic diets cooked with controlled amount of salt.
The foods we eat - our diet - can affect whether we develop diseases during our lives, such as diabetes or heart disease. This is because the amount and types of foods we eat can affect our weight, and because different foods are metabolised (processed) by the body in different ways. Scientists have also found that the bacteria in our guts (the gut microbiome) affects our metabolism, weight and health and that, together with a person's diet and metabolism, could be used to predict appetite and how meals affect levels of sugar (glucose) and fats (lipids) found in blood after eating. If blood sugar and fat are too high too often, there's a greater chance of developing diseases such as diabetes. The gut microbiome is different in different people. Only 10-20% of the types of bacteria found in our guts are found in everyone. This might mean that the best diet to prevent disease needs matching to a person's gut microbiome and it might be possible to find personalised foods or diets that will help reduce the chance of developing chronic disease as well as metabolic syndrome. The study investigators are recruiting volunteers aged 18 years or over from the TwinsUK cohort to take part in a study that aims to answer the questions above. The participants will need to come in for a clinical visit where they will give blood, stool, saliva and urine samples. The participants will also be given a standardised breakfast and lunch and fitted with a glucose monitor (Abbott Freestyle Libre-CE marked) to monitor their blood sugar levels. After the visit, the participants will be asked to eat standardised meals at home for breakfast for a further 12 days. Participants will also be required to prick their fingers at regular intervals to collect small amounts of blood, and to record constantly their appetite, food, physical activity and sleep using apps and wearable devices.
To compare the efficiency and safety between gene-oriented group and standard care group during 90 days of initial warfarin-treatment for requiring anticoagulation patients with valve replacement or atrial fibrillation with or without valvular heart disease。
Compared with conventional treatment of the coronary heart disease,the aim of the research is to find out if the addition of Yangxinshi pills on the basis of conventional treatment can improve exercise tolerance of patients with coronary heart disease, improve quality of life or restore social function and mental health
The purpose of this study is to determine whether vigorous exercise training 4-5 days/week for one year in sedentary middle aged (ages 40-64) individuals at high risk for future development of heart failure will improve cardiac and vascular compliance to a degree equivalent to life-long exercisers and the sedentary young. To date, no effective therapy for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) has been found; therefore prevention is critical and discovering novel treatment strategies is essential. Exercise training if implemented in high risk patients may improve diastolic function and cardiac-vascular interactions, preventing further progression to overt heart failure.
