Filter by:Clinicians slated for virtual visit rollout will be randomized (stratified by department) to either receive immediate virtual visit on-boarding (intervention arm) or delayed (3-months later) virtual visit on-boarding (control arm). The investigators plan to enroll no more than 200 clinicians. Any clinician in a department selected by the Brigham Health Virtual Care team for access to virtual visits is eligible, unless s/he saw less than 20 patients monthly over the last 6 months. The Brigham Health Virtual Care team will onboard all clinicians and provide virtual visit support as per their usual protocol. The primary study endpoint is third-available appointment, a well-adopted measure of access. Other secondary endpoints revolve around continuity, efficiency, utilization, safety, cost, and patient experience.
This study aims to test the hypothesis that dietary intake of phosphatidylcholine (PC) and lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) acutely alters plasma lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) levels and autotaxin activity in normal weight and obese subjects.
This is a Randomized, open-label, single-dose, 3-treatment, 3-period, 3-sequence crossover design.
The purpose of the ACCENTUATE study is to evaluate whether the study drug known as evacetrapib is effective in treating participants with high cholesterol and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) and/or diabetes.
The study will investigate the effects of atorvastatin on the concentrations of small, dense LDL and HDL subfractions in patients with diabetes and the underlying mechanisms of these effects.
Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the single leading cause of death in the United States . Serum Cholesterol is known to have a direct impact on a number of human diseases through a variety of mechanisms. This is particularly true of cardiovascular disease. Measurement and manipulation of serum cholesterol has become a primary focus of primary care physicians and cardiologists when attempting to reduce risk of heart disease.
People with psoriasis have significantly higher rates of obesity, diabetes, heart failure and high blood pressure than the general public. The purpose of this study is to determine how substances produced in the fat (inflammatory markers) relate to the risk of heart disease in people with the metabolic syndrome and psoriasis. People with metabolic syndrome have insulin resistance, increased waist size, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol.
Patients who are intolerant of statins in routine practice, but who lack objective evidence of significant harm, will be randomized to receive statins by either n of 1 trials or standard practice. Our hypothesis is that n of 1 trials will improve statin adherence, thereby improving low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels.
The Torcetrapib project was terminated on December 2, 2006 due to safety findings. Cholesterol levels will be measured over six weeks in subjects being treated with two different kinds of cholesterol medications to see how the different treatments compare to one another.
The Torcetrapib project was terminated on December 2, 2006 due to safety findings. Cholesterol levels will be measured over six weeks in subjects being treated with two different kinds of combination cholesterol medications to see how the different treatments compare to one another.
