Filter by:This study is to evaluate the effect of rosuvastatin 10-20 mg on carotid atherosclerosis progression in Chinese patients by evaluating the change in the percentage of volume of lipid rich necrotic core (LRNC) using high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) after 24-months treatment.
- The aim of the study is to compare the effects of coadministration of ezetimibe 10 mg/die + fenofibrate 200 mg/die versus pravastatin 40 mg/die monotherapy in HIV-infected patients treated with protease inhibitors. - Single-centre, open, randomized, controlled, prospective pilot study. - 60 patients will be enrolled in order to reach the target of 50 patients evaluable at the end of the study. The patients will be randomly assigned to a 6-month treatment with ezetimibe+fenofibrate or with pravastatin.The visit will be every month.
Aortic aneurysms are the major disease processes affecting the aorta and becoming a relatively common cause of death because of rupture or dissection. The most common location for aneurysms is the infrarenal abdominal aorta, followed by the ascending thoracic aorta. Unlike coronary heart disease, the incidence of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) in the United States and Europe has been increasing, and this increase may not be due to higher levels of screening for this condition alone. Aortic diameter is central to the diagnosis of aortic aneurysm. Furthermore, it was demonstrated that non-AAA patients with an enlarged diameter of the infrarenal aortic diameter are also at high risk for all-cause mortality. And aortic root dimension was associated with several coronary artery disease (CHD) risk factors and measures of subclinical disease and was predictive of incident congestive heart failure (CHF), stroke, cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality, and all-cause mortality, but not of incident MI. Up to now, there are limited studies on the epidemiology of aortic diameter, especially in Chinese population.
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.
High blood pressure, elevated blood glucose and high cholesterol are related to the increased risk of stroke and heart disease. Many studies have shown that this risk can be significantly reduced by lowering blood pressure, blood glucose and cholesterol levels. Through a collaborative effort between Calgary Safeway pharmacists and Calgary Health Region family physician PCN's, U-CHAMP will deliver a program to assist in the identification and management of people with elevated blood pressure, blood glucose and cholesterol and through this effort, reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke in the urban Calgary population aged 18-85 years.
The metabolic syndrome is a highly prevalent disorder, which causes atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and is closely associated with insulin resistance. The alteration of the secretion of adipocytokines from accumulated visceral adipose tissue in the obese induces insulin resistance. The purpose of this study is to identify gene polymorphisms that confer susceptibility to the metabolic syndrome and to make up a new health guidance program based on genetic risk assessment. About 25% of male employees over 45 years old in a certain company are diagnosed with the metabolic syndrome in medical examination. We, the researchers at Nagoya University, will analyze gene polymorphism and various biomarkers of over 3500 company employees.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the Lipid-lowing Tea is effective and safe in the treatment of Hyperlipidemia Patients
The purpose of this trial is to study the effects on risk reduction and expense of 3 approaches to the care of people with cardiovascular risk factors in a naturalistic primary care environment.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the balance between the risks and benefits of primary prevention by Aspirin in elderly Japanese patients with one or more cerebro/cardiovascular risk factors
