Filter by:This study aims to know the effectiveness of "MaRiTensi" in improving knowledge, motivation, efficacy, self-care and blood pressure control for hypertension patients. This study hypothesizes that MaRiTensi effectively increases the knowledge, motivation, self-efficacy and self-care of hypertensive patients and reduces blood pressure in the intervention group compared to the control group. Respondent recruitment is as follows: 1. The respondent candidate will be identified based on data on record medical 2. Appropriate respondent candidates' criteria inclusion and exclusion contacted for given informed consent 3. Prospective respondents who are willing to participate and fulfill the criteria for pressure blood moment measurement will request signed consent 4. Respondents fill in the basic data and recapitulate by the assistant researcher 5. Done randomization for allocation of group interventions and group control 6. Respondents given envelope closed (using sequentially numbered, opaque sealed envelopes (SNOSE) method ) 7. Respondents' group intervention was given maintenance by Hospital or health center standard-added intervention using MaRiTensi by conditions; meanwhile, group control was provided care by Hospital or health center standards.
Hypertension and obesity in the young population are major risk factors for renal and cardiovascular events, which could arise in adulthood. A candidate-gene approach will be applied in a cohort observational study, in which investigators will collect data from high school adolescent students. Participants underwent anthropometric and blood pressure measurements, as well as saliva and urine sample collection for genomic DNA extraction and renal function evaluation, respectively. Candidate genes previously implicated in salt-sensitive hypertension in adults will be tested to verify impact on blood pressure (BP) also among adolescents. Since inflammatory mechanisms may be involved in pathophysiology of hypertension and in endothelial dysfunction and atherosclerosis through reactive oxygen species, the baseline urinary excretion of inflammatory and oxidative stress markers in a subgroup of adolescents stratified according to ADD1 (alpha adducin) rs4961 genotypes will be assessed.
Developed nations worldwide are currently enduring a health crisis, as chronic diseases continue to decrease quality of life and promote additional disease states or even death for much of the population. Rural populations are at a particular disadvantage, as they lack access to health clubs, wellness programs and similar resources that are more available in urban areas. Although pharmaceutical therapies have continued to show therapeutic advancements, the rates of disease onset and death from chronic disease has not seen similar improvements, and in fact continue to worsen. Excitingly, significant evidence has been published demonstrating an affordable, effective treatment to directly treat and prevent these chronic diseases, but few have demonstrated successful implementation of this therapy, which is improved lifestyle. Specifically, physical activity and healthy body composition are powerful therapeutics that have been demonstrated to effectively combat and prevent chronic diseases. Additionally, improving these lifestyle factors are often more effective than pharmaceutical interventions without the wide range of side effects. Unfortunately, barriers exist on multiple tiers in the practice of family medicine that demote the implementation of lifestyle medicine. To better serve patients at risk of, or suffering from chronic disease, the investigators are seeking to establish a lifestyle medicine prescription program for rural West Virginia. This program will provide patient education on the benefits of physical activity, body composition, and help patients identify strategies to implement healthy lifestyle choices that can be sustainable for the long-term. Patients will be advised on local opportunities to increase physical activity (yoga studio, martial arts, fitness facilities, aquatic center, etc.) and provided access to the facilities they are most likely to adhere to regularly. They will also be provided training on exercise techniques, equipment, and facilities to increase familiarity and comfort in these settings.
This is an observational study compares the positivity rates of two tests for screening for primary aldosteronism: plasma aldosterone renin ratio and 24-hour urine aldosterone in patients with young-onset hypertension with or without other clinical features of primary aldosteronism.
Prevention and non pharmacological treatment of prehypertension and hypertension stage 1 The effect of individual variants of agonist-antagonist and traditional agonistic resistance training on cardiovascular parameters in individuals with normotension and hypertension. What does the study involve? 1. Cardiovascular parameters 2. Body composition 3. Blood tests for heart disease 4. Training intervention A. Resistance training protocol: 75% 1RM, 10 reps, 3 sets, 2 min rest between sets and exercises, 16 exercises 1. Agonistic RT - upper body 2. Agonistic RT - lower body 3. Agonist-Antagonist - upper body 4. Agonist-Antagonist - lower body B. Aerobic training: 60% SF max, 4 x 10 min, 2 min rest between sets 5. Intraabdominal wall tension activity 6. The Borg rating of perceived exertion 7. Handgrip testing 8. Repetition testing (RM)
Upon completion, this project will determine if dietary acid reduction done with either fruits and vegetables (F+V) or the medication sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) in study participants with high blood pressure (hypertension) and initially normal kidney function but with signs of kidney injury 1) slows progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD); 2) improves indices of cardiovascular risk; and 3) better preserves acid-base status. These studies are designed to determine if the simple and comparatively inexpensive intervention of dietary acid reduction can prevent or reduce adverse outcomes in individuals with early-stage CKD.
This study aims to monitor the health of elderly hypertensive patients in Tianjin.
The treatment of high blood pressure, or hypertension, is multifaceted and can include pharmacological therapies (i.e., medications) and lifestyle modifications such as physical activity. Chronotherapy, which describes timing of a treatment with the body's daily rhythms, has recently been used with hypertension medications and has been shown to be effective at lowering blood pressure and reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease events. Specifically, taking medications in the evening was shown to be more effective than morning medication routines. Little information is available about the effectiveness of chronotherapy combined with exercise (i.e., planned physical activity) interventions in older adults with hypertension. The purpose of this study is to examine how exercise training performed in the morning and early evening affects blood pressure and other measures of blood vessel health in postmenopausal females with hypertension.
This study is to compare the efficacy and safety of Telmisartan, Amlodipine, and Chlorthalidone Fixed-Dose Combination and Telmisartan, Amlodipine, and Hydrochlorothiazide in Elderly Patients with Essential Hypertension Uncontrolled by Telmisartan and Amlodipine Combinations
Durable left ventricular assist devices (dLVAD) have been increasingly utilized since the mid to late 1990s, with an uptick of utility starting in 2010 following expanded indications for therapy to not only include a bridge to transplantation strategy, but also for those individuals who suffer from advanced heart failure (HF) and do not qualify for cardiac transplantation. Despite the decreasing size of the newest generation devices leading to a lessened occurrence of adverse events, bleeding and infection still remain a concern for clinicians, as well as a general lack of predictability towards adverse events in individuals with a dLVAD in place. There is a lack of description in the literature currently, regarding the interface between what the pump data provides and what is seen in clinical practice. There also is little known about the effects of what is provided in the pump data, in correlation to quality-of-life following dLVAD implantation. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to prospectively analyze normal and abnormal pump data through pump operations such as suction events, low flow alarms as well as other adventitious alarms, PI events and power cable disconnects greater than 20 seconds, from the HeartMate 3 ® dLVAD in order to clinically correlate this data to quality of life, frailty and other various medical conditions and adverse events as defined by the Interagency Registry for Mechanically Assisted Circulatory Support (Intermacs). This will be achieved through two aims: 1) Evaluate the effectiveness of dLVAD pump operations data on clinical practice application (quality of life, frailty and various medical conditions, and adverse events such as GIB, RHF, infection, hypertension, arrhythmias and stroke); and 2) Evaluate correlations and relationships of longitudinal normal and abnormal dLVAD pump operations data, to demographic and clinical variables. This study is the first study to evaluate HeartMate 3 ® dLVAD pump operations data over time for effectiveness in the clinical practice.
