Filter by:Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common type of abnormal heart rhythm. This occurs as the chambers of the heart pump irregularly, often resulting in a fast heart rate and symptoms of irregular pounding and fluttering. There are many risk factors predisposing to AF, however, the cause cannot always be easily determined. Additionally, not all AF patients experience symptoms and consequently, this abnormal rhythm may go undetected and may be discovered accidentally. This is detrimental to patients, as untreated AF patients are at an increased risk of stroke. Patients that are suspected of having AF are referred for an ultrasound scan of the heart (echocardiogram). It is expected to see structural changes to the heart's chambers. However, structural and electrical changes of the heart may be the cause of AF but may also be a result of AF, resulting in a chicken and egg situation. It may be possible that a different type of measurement can be used during an echocardiogram to detect subtle changes in heart muscle patterns. This measurement may then serve to be an early predictor of AF. This would be determined by comparing the patterns in patients with a normal, regular rhythm to those with AF. Potential candidates are initially screened based on their echocardiogram referral. If deemed suitable for this study, the study process is explained to the patient and written informed consent is invited and received. The echocardiogram will be performed as normal with a focus on the area and volume measurements taken of one of the top chambers of the heart. An additional measurement will be taken to observe any subtle changes in the arrangement of heart cells within this same heart chamber. These measurements can be compared to each other to establish any relationship as well as compared to patients with and without AF.
The study is a non-pharmacological interventional, single-center, national, non-randomised, comparative and open label.
Hypertension is one of the leading causes of death globally, and ranks among the top four risk factors for mortality and DALYs in China. However, large-scale population based longitudinal research data source for hypertension is lacking in China. Thus, we aimed to establish the first and most extensive hypertension database in China using healthcare data from the Tianjin city. This hypertension longitudinal data platformlinked electronic medical records (EMR) system 35 stores healthcare data of 1.17 million hypertension patients, from 43 tertiary hospitals and 39 secondary hospitals, along with a public health follow-up management system. Data on demographics, diagnosis, drug prescription, laboratory test, physical examination, and cost information were collected, the median follow-up time was 4.3 [ interquartile range (IQR): 2.7-5.8] years, and the median number of outpatient visits was 32 (IQR: 15-64) per patient. This database can address research needs including, drug utilization pattern analysis, policy implementation evaluation, digital medical device development, and other real world evidence studies. These researches would provide robust evidence to assist improving patient health outcomes and healthcare system decision-making.
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine whether boxing training reduces cardiovascular risk in elevated blood pressure or hypertension stage 1 individuals. The main questions it aims to answer are (1) if boxing training reduces peripheral and central blood pressure and (2) if boxing training improves cardiovascular function in elevated blood pressure or hypertension stage 1 individuals. Participants with elevated blood pressure or hypertension stage 1 will be randomly divided into a control group or an intervention group. The latter group will be involved in boxing training, 3 days per week for 6 weeks. Researchers will compare clinical and cardiovascular outcomes between the control and the intervention group.
Phase III interventional study to evaluate the different efficacy of Torasemide and Spironolactone in reducing systolic blood pressure in carriers and non-carriers of the different genotypic combinations for Lanosterol and Uromodulin
Retrospective cohort study that evaluated 190 subjects admitted with diagnosis of hypertensive disorder of pregnancy, between 24 and 36 6/7 weeks, with an sFlt-1/PlGF index greater than or equal to 110. Data were collected on their clinical course prior to termination of pregnancy, using the last reported sFlt-1/PlGF ratio value to classify the population into four cohorts: values between 110-205, between 206 and 654, between 655 and 999 and greater than 1000.
The Valsartan Antihypertensive Long-term Use Evaluation (VALUE) trial tested the hypothesis that for the same blood-pressure control, valsartan would reduce cardiac morbidity and mortality more than amlodipine in hypertensive patients at high cardiovascular risk. The present study investigates effects of valsartan and amlodipine on pre-specified secondary kidney outcomes.
To assess the ability of KEFPEP® to reduce blood pressure
Thirty male and female hypertension patients with chronic mechanical non-specific low back pain were included in this randomized controlled study conducted at the Ababa Private Physical Therapy Center in Beni-Seuf, Egypt. They were randomly assigned into two equal groups; the study group A control (n = 15) had a supervised conventional core stability, while the study group B (n = 15) received a home exercise program. In both groups' patients had evaluations before and after their six-week course of therapy. Modified-modified Schober test was used to assess the active back range of motion (ROM), Arabic version of Oswestry disability index (ODI) was utilized to evaluate functional disability, and visual analog scale (VAS) was used to measure pain.
Based on the data of inpatients with hypertension and a cross-sectional study with a large sample size, this study aims to find the early warning value of the left anteroposterior atrial diameter for the possible occurrence of atrial fibrillation in patients with hypertension, and compare the advantages and disadvantages of the above two methods for the early warning of the risk of atrial fibrillation in patients with hypertension, so as to achieve the purpose of early identification of high-risk groups that may develop atrial fibrillation.
