Filter by:This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial will evaluate the impact of methylfolate, pyridoxal-5'-phosphate (P5P), and methylcobalamin supplementation on homocysteine and LDL-C levels in individuals with low to medium cardiac risk and MTHFR, MTR, and MTRR gene polymorphisms. The study aims to explore the efficacy of these vitamins in reducing homocysteine levels, a critical risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD), while also monitoring LDL-C levels. The findings will offer valuable insights into personalized CVD prevention and management, emphasizing the significance of genetic factors in nutritional therapy.
In this study, 102 patients will be evenly randomized into two groups: one set to receive omega-3 fatty acids and the other a placebo. The process will be blinded, ensuring that neither the researchers nor the participants will know which group they are in. Each participant will take two capsules daily for a duration of 90 days, with the active group receiving capsules containing 1000 mg of fish oil each. All participants will be instructed to maintain their usual diet, lifestyle, and medication regimen. At the beginning and end of the study, various health assessments, including lipid panels and C-reactive protein measurements, will be conducted. Additionally, DNA samples will be collected for genotyping to identify patients with specific PPARG gene polymorphisms, leading to the creation of four distinct subgroups: those receiving omega-3 with and without polymorphisms, and those receiving placebo with and without polymorphisms.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the telehealth integrated care model for its clinical efficacy, medical resource utilization, health economics measurement, and satisfaction survey indicators in hyperlipidemia patients and other cardiometabolic diseases. The result of the study will provide evidence for the value of integrated model in the treatment of patients with cardiometabolic syndrome.
This study explores the efficacy of domestic adlay in improving blood sugar and lipids metabolism, cardiovascular function, and weight control in people with high blood pressure, hyperlipidemia, and hyperglycemia. Through two weeks of cooked adlay-rice and white rice by a randomized cross-over design to evaluate the lipid- and glucose-lowering effects of adlay on patient with hyperlipidemia and/or hyperglycemia.
This non-randomized, open-label extension study will provide post-trial access to pelacarsen (TQJ230) to participants in Germany with hyperlipoproteinemia(a) and established cardiovascular disease who have successfully completed the double-blind parent study (CTQJ230A12302).
The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to investigate the lipid-lowering effect of fenugreek seed consumed as a tea in patients with hyperlipidaemia, but without diabetes over an 8-week intervention period. Alteration of plasma microRNAs (e.g. microRNA-122 and microRNA-34a) will further be analysed for establishing as non-invasive therapeutic biomarkers of hyperlipidaemia. Participants will be asked to attend three study at baseline, 4 and 8 weeks in the Centre for Public Health. Each visit will involve the collection of demographic information, anthropometric measurements, blood pressure and fasting blood samples. Participants allocated to intervention or control will be asked to self-administer tea twice a day at a 12 hour interval over the 8-week study period. Researchers will compare the results of the consumption of fenugreek seed tea to the control black tea to see if fenugreek has any effect on lipid levels.
Type I hyperlipoproteinemia (T1HLP, also known as familial chylomicronemia syndrome or FCS) is a rare diseasewhere the blood triglycerides (fats) are very high. It is caused by lack of certain enzymes and proteins in the bodythat are important in disposing circulating fats from blood. Treatment of T1HLP patients who have very high levels of blood fats (≥ 1,000 mg/dL) is challenging as conventional triglyceride-lowering medications, such as fibrates and fishoil, are ineffective. The purpose of this trial is to study the long-term efficacy and safety of orlistat for reducing blood triglyceride levels in patients with T1HLP.
The aim of the study is to identify children and families that are at risk for cardiovascular disease because of a condition known as familial hyperlipidemia. This condition may increase the risk of cardiac events such as hardening of the arteries anywhere in the body which can result in heart attacks, strokes, and death over ten fold. Children have already been assessed in the Healthy Hearts screening program and identified as having elevated cholesterol. A buccal smear will identify whether the familial hyperlipidemia condition exist in your child. If the child's test shows that they have the specific gene for familial hyperlipidemia and shows a genetic tendency towards premature heart disease, we would encourage genetic testing for as many blood family members as possible. The study plan is to determine whether the Healthy Hearts screening program is a more effective way of identifying students at risk since it is estimated that less than 10% of those individuals with the problem have been identified. If it is effective, then it will be incorporated as part of the standard screening process in the Healthy Hearts program. Aim 1: Is a school screening program a more effective method to identifying those at risk for familial hyperlipidemia? Aim 2: What percent of children with elevated cholesterol ≥ 200 mg/dl have familial hyperlipidemia?
This randomized, cross-over design, controlled trial will assess the effects of 8 weeks of daily inclusion of 2 whole eggs in the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) eating plan, compared with their exclusion, on cardio-metabolic risk markers and diet quality in hyperlipidemic adults.
Determination of FH status by genetic testing in school age children who have demonstrated elevated cholesterol on baseline screening.
