Filter by:Severe hypercholesterolemia produced by conditions such as heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia is associated with multiple complications including premature atherosclerotic disease. There is evidence that microvascular perfusion, particularly flow reserve, in critical organs is limited due to abnormalities in plasma viscosity, abnormal RBC deformability, and an imbalance between vasodilators and vasoconstrictors. There is little is currently known about acute changes in microvascular blood flow and microvascular rheology that occur in response to plasmapharesis which is used in some patients to lower critically elevated cholesterol levels. Our research group has pioneered CEU methods for assessing myocardial and skeletal muscle perfusion, and has previously demonstrated in pre-clinical models that acute hyperlipidemia produces a reduction in microvascular RBC transit rate. In this study, the investigators will assess acute changes in microvascular perfusion in patients undergoing clinically-indicated plasmapharesis.
A randomized, open-label, multiple-dose, crossover study to investigate the pharmacokinetic drug interaction between rosuvastatin and telmisartan/amlodipine in healthy male volunteers
This study will evaluate the effects of encapsulated botanical extracts, previously shown to inhibit the enzyme diacylglycerol-acyltransferase-1 (DGAT-1) in vitro, on fasting and postprandial lipid metabolism during an oral fat tolerance test (OFTT) in apparently healthy, overweight and obese adult men and women.
The purpose of the Patient and Provider Assessment of Lipid Management Registry (PALM) is to gain a better understanding of physicians' cholesterol medication prescribing practices, patient and physician attitudes and beliefs related to cholesterol management, and current utilization of cholesterol-lowering therapies given the new ACC/AHA guideline recommendations. The PALM Registry hopes to allow for the design of ways to improve cholesterol management and decrease the burden of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in the US.
The purpose of this survey is to determine the incidence rate of cardiovascular (CV) events associated with long-term treatment with and without omega-3 fatty acid ethyl esters (Lotriga Granular Capsules) in high-risk hyperlipidemic patients treated by statin in daily medical practice.
Comparison of the efficacy and safety of Cresnon® and Crestor® in patients with hyperlipidemia - 8-week, active-controlled, open-label, randomized, parallelgroup, fixed-dose, noninferiority, multicenter, phase 4 design
In this study the investigators will examine the effect of the polypill on medication adherence, systolic blood pressure, and LDL cholesterol over a 12 month span.
The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the pharmacokinetics of evolocumab after a single 140 mg subcutaneous (SC) dose in aduts with normal renal function or severe renal impairment or end-stage renal disease (ESRD) receiving hemodialysis.
The study tested whether a pharmacist-run cardiovascular risk service (CVRS) at the University of Iowa can increase use of national standards of care in clinics
Study to evaluate Efficacy and Safety of PreLipid® on subjects with higher than normal blood lipid levels
