Filter by:The study will evaluate the impact of an internet based telemedicine system on cardiovascular risk profile of underserved patient populations. It is our hypothesis that a treatment plan and frequent communication via an internet based Telemedicine system will improve the cardiovascular risk profile of underserved patient populations at increased risk for cardiovascular disease. Our primary endpoint is a reduction over one year in the 10-year CVD risk score (ATP III risk model).
In this randomized controlled trial, we will provide primary care physicians with free samples of highly effective generic cardiovascular medications. We will test whether this intervention will stimulate cost-effective prescribing, reducing drug costs and improving adherence to essential cardiovascular medications.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness and safety of TRIA-662 (also known as 1-MNA) in treating elevated triglyceride levels in patients not receiving lipid lowering treatment. This study will determine the effects of TRIA-662 on commonly measured blood fats that are known to be important in the prevention of vascular disease.
The aim of the Antioxidant Study was to compare the efficacy of foods naturally rich in antioxidants with that of antioxidants in a pill form on markers of inflammation and plasma cholesterol in healthy adults at risk of cardiovascular disease.
The primary objective of this study is to compare the effect of Welchol in combination with TriCor compared to TriCor alone on low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in patients with high cholesterol.
To compare the lipid lowering efficacy of adding ezetimibe to statin vs. statin alone.
Nattokinase, first found by Dr. Hiroyuki Sumi in 1980, is a potent fibrinolytic enzyme extracted from Natto, a popular soybean fermented food in Japan. It was confirmed that oral administration of nattokinase (or natto) produced a mild and frequent enhancement of the fibrinolytic activity in the plasma as indicated by the fibrinolytic parameters and the production of tissue plasminogen activator. Other studies also showed a reduction in lipid peroxidation and improvement of lipid metabolism. Short-term effect (less then 10 days) of oral administration of nattokinase on both animal and human subjects has been studied and reported. However, whether nattokinase possesses a beneficial effect to dyslipidemic patients remains unclear. The aim of this study is to investigate the long-term effect (six month) of the mono and multiple formulae of nattokinase, change of BP, lipid and fibrinolytic factors from baseline and 6 months on dyslipidemic patients.
To measure the percentage of patients who achieve all the treatment lipid goals being treated with ezetimibe/simvastatin 10/20 with or without MK0524A (1-2 g/day).
The primary objective is to survey the efficacy of various commercially available statins (a class of lipid-lowering agents, for example, rosuvastatin, atorvastatin, simvastatin, lovastatin, pravastatin and fluvastatin) under local clinical practice in treating patients with hyperlipidemia. Surveillance data (Lipid Profile) will be collected during course of usual clinical practice or captured upon its availability.
To determine the effects of a commercially available dietary modification plus nutritional supplement regimen, the Standard Process 21 day Purification Program (SPPP), on serum lipids, C-reactive protein (CRP), homocysteine, body mass index (BMI), body weight, blood pressure, and heart rate variability (HRV) in normal weight (BMI < 26) and overweight (BMI 26 or above) participants who have total cholesterol levels over 180.
