Filter by:This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial involving subjects with NASH cirrhosis and severe portal hypertension (defined as HVPG [hepatic venous pressure gradient] ≥12 mmHg as determined by the central reader assigned to this study). Upon successful screening, subjects will be randomized to receive either emricasan 50 mg BID (Bis in die, twice daily), 25 mg BID, or 5 mg BID or matching placebo BID.
The subject of the study is evaluation of factors affecting to exercise intolerance in spiroergometry in women over 40 years of age with hypertension and association and relationship between the parameters of physical performance and prognosis in this group of patients.
Occurrence of acute right heart failure (ARHF) remains common during pulmonary hypertension (PH). Right atrial pressure (RAP) invasive measurement is the gold standard to diagnose ARHF in order to improve diuretic treatment management. Existence of indirect signs of ARHF on venous Doppler ultrasound waveform has long been described, but correlation with RAP has not been properly established yet. It is the aim of our study in order to obtain an additional tool to manage ARHF.
Some patients living with multiple long-term health conditions have difficulty accessing the services they need, despite available primary care and community resources. Patient navigation programs may help those with complex health conditions to improve their care and outcomes. Community health navigators (CHNs) are community members who help guide patients through the health care system. CHNs are not health professionals like a doctor or nurse, but they are specially trained to help patients get the most out of their health care and connect them to resources. The ENCOMPASS program of research evaluates a patient navigation program that connects patients living with long-term health conditions to CHNs. To understand if the CHN program can be scaled to a provincial level, the ENCOMPASS program of research is expanding to select primary care settings across Alberta. This study implements and evaluates the CHN program at WestView Primary Care Network in the Greater Edmonton area, Alberta, Canada.

A significant number of pregnancies are complicated by hypertensive disorders. Hypertension often worsens in the postpartum period and many women need started on medications. Currently, recommended medications for blood pressure management in pregnant and postpartum women are limited, with labetalol and nifedipine ER being the most commonly used medications. While these medications are both effective, they are not without limitations. Amlodipine is a medication in the same class as nifedipine ER. It is a first-line antihypertensive in the general population. It tends to have less side effects than nifedipine ER. It has not been studied specifically in postpartum women. The purpose of this study is to determine if amlodipine is noninferior to nifedipine ER in managing hypertension in the postpartum period.
This is a prospective, single-center, non-randomized, observational study. The aim of this study is to determine the potential of a single-lead electrocardiogram monitor CardioQvark with photoplethysmography function use to evaluate systolic function of the left ventricle. The study is conducted in the clinic of I.M. Sechenov First Moscow State Medical University (Sechenov University), Moscow, Russia. It is planned to include 400 patients. Recording of the electrocardiogram and photoplethysmogram by the monitor CardioQvark and the assessment of systolic function using echocardiography will be performed in all study participants. The result of this study will be the identification of the parameters of the pulse wave and electrocardiogram that will correlate with systolic function of the left ventricle. It is also planned to determine the diagnostic effectiveness of this method.
Primary Objective: Test feasibility and acceptability of a 24-week community-based lifestyle intervention to improve cardiovascular health among African American males. Secondary Objectives: 1) Navigate participants to establish primary care and address social and patient activation needs that present barriers to wellness; 2) Examine changes in cardiovascular health as per American Heart Association Life's Simple 7 Metrics including blood pressure, cholesterol, glucose, smoking, body mass index, physical activity and dietary intake (1); and 3) Increase African American male participation in clinical trials.
The purpose of this study is to characterize the clinical and hemodynamic response of Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) therapy in patients with atypical PAH and risk factors for left heart disease.
