Filter by:This study aims to assess the application of the novel IMPULSE algorithm for the detection of pulmonary hypertension (PH) in those with a low or intermediate probability of PH according to the British Society of Echocardiography (ESC) and European Society of Cardiology (ESC) guidelines.
This study is a prospective, double blind, self-controlled, randomized, cross-over study to evaluate the feasibility, efficacy, and safety of treating patients with Heart Failure with preserved Ejection Fraction (HFpEF) associated with hypertension using the PressurePace™ system of Right Atrial Pacing regulated by blood pressure in subjects with dual chamber pacemakers. The objective of this study is to show that blood pressure-controlled right atrial pacing improves exercise tolerance, improves heart failure symptoms, and improves hypertension control in subjects with HFpEF associated with hypertension compared to conventional bradycardia pacing alone.
To determine whether changes in endothelial cell dysfunction are associated with changes in total pulmonary resistance in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effects of 10 weeks of exercise on overall brain health, reduction in blood pressure, and the number of blood vessels in the back of the eyes in patients with hypertension and have a body mass index ≥ 25 kg/m2. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - To test the effect of moderate vs intensive exercise on Brain Care Score outcomes. - To ascertain the differential impact of moderate vs high intensity exercise in reducing hypertension and its downstream effects.
This is a Phase III, multicentre, randomised, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, parallel group study to evaluate the safety, tolerability and effect of 1 or 2 mg baxdrostat versus placebo, administered once daily (QD) orally, on the reduction of systolic blood pressure in approximately 720 participants aged ≥ 18 years with hypertension, despite a stable regimen of 2 antihypertensive agents at baseline, one of which is a diuretic (uncontrolled hypertension); or ≥ 3 antihypertensive agents at baseline, one of which is a diuretic (treatment-resistant hypertension).
The purpose of this R15 project is to test the feasibility and effectiveness of a 12-week diabetes and hypertension self-management program using trained health coaches.
Current medication adherence interventions are minimally effective, which results in higher rates of morbidity and mortality for 45 million US adults who have hypertension and low adherence. This feasibility randomized controlled trial seeks to understand the efficacy of reminders and monitoring in the form of a mobile phone application vs usual care on medication adherence as well as the feasibility of the intervention and study procedures. This study will compare participants who use a mobile phone app that notifies them when to take their medications (intervention group) to participants who do not get assigned the app (control group) for 30 days. Medication adherence will be monitored using a Medication Event Monitoring System (MEMS) cap. Both groups will also receive the usual care, which will include giving participants a pamphlet about taking their medications. The long-term goal of this work is to improve antihypertensive medication adherence and to decrease morbidity and mortality. The objective of this application is to test the efficacy of the app based reminders and feedback. The hypothesis driving this research is that the intervention will be more effective than the usual care. The specific aims are as follows:
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a grocery prescription program in adults diagnosed with either Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus or Hypertension. Participants will enroll in Instacart Fresh Funds program. Once enrolled each week participants will select foods that are eligible in the Fresh Funds Program to be delivered to their home for 12 weeks. Participants will also participate in a survey at the beginning of the study and at the end of the study.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of an 8-week walking program on blood pressure in inactive older adults with respiratory impairment, a condition where lung function is sub-optimal for a person's age. Older adults with respiratory impairment have greater risks of death by cardiovascular disease (CVD) compared to those without respiratory impairment, and this may be partly driven by higher resting blood pressure. One way to lower blood pressure is to increase the number of daily steps achieved throughout the course of everyday life ('lifestyle steps'), and previous research shows that an additional 3,000 lifestyle steps/day is effective for achieving this. However, whether an increase in daily lifestyle steps is effective for reducing blood pressure in senior-community dwelling older adults with respiratory impairment is unknown. Understanding how increasing daily steps impacts blood pressure in this understudied population is important for informing future strategies for tackling cardiovascular disease risk in those with lung dysfunction.
