Filter by:Pulmonary arterial hypertension(PAH) is associated with the development of right heart failure. In the setting of heart failure, the heart shifts to increasing dependence on glucose metabolism. In this study, the investigators will perform cardiac positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance imaging (PET/MRI) scans to measure glucose metabolism in the heart before and after initiation of pulmonary vasodilator therapy for pulmonary arterial hypertension.
Study ROR-PH-302, ADVANCE CAPACITY, is designed to evaluate the effects of ralinepag therapy on exercise capacity as assessed by change in peak oxygen consumption (VO2) derived from cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) after 28 weeks of treatment
The purpose of this study is to help further the understanding of the effects of commercially available high-caffeine containing coffee on blood pressure in healthy adult subjects.
This is a Phase 2, multicenter, open-label extension (OLE) of study CXA-10-301, to evaluate the long term safety and efficacy of daily dosing of CXA-10.
The purpose of this study is to test the hypothesis that isosorbide mononitrate prevents deterioration of renal function in patients receiving anti-angiogenic therapies that target vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF).
The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of a combination of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) and a Mandibular Advancement Device (MAD) on nocturnal Blood Pressure control in hypertensive patients in obstructive sleep apnea low CPAP compliers (less than 4 hours per night). Hypertensive patients demonstrating low CPAP adherence will be selected during a screening visit; they will be then randomized to one of the three following arms: Education to CPAP ("CPAP only"), Treatment by a MAD ("MAD only") or a combination of both CPAP and MAD ("CPAP+MAD"). Mean systolic, diastolic, diurnal and nocturnal blood pressure will be assessed during 24-h Ambulatory Blood Pressure monitoring, before and after a 3-month treatment intervention. Biological laboratory parameters, patients reported outcomes (daytime sleepiness and Quality of Life), will also be evaluated before and after 3 months of treatment.
Aortic stenosis (AS) is the most frequent valvulopathy in Western countries. The prevalence of AS is constantly increasing due to the aging of the population. Several studies have shown that pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) was common in AS patients referred for TAVI and that it was an independent predictor of mortality after TAVI. Currently, there is no data in the literature regarding the evolution and prognosis value of PAH measured using right heart catheterization (reference method). PAH could either regress after TAVI or continue to progress despite the treatment of valvulopathy, resulting in a refractory right heart failure that can lead to death. The hypothesis of this study is that patients with PAH before TAVI procedure and at the 3-month follow-up visit (PAH persistence) have an increased risk of cardiovascular mortality compared to patients with no PAH at 3 months or having a significant reduction of their PAH (PAH regression). The aim of the study is to evaluate the prognostic impact of the evolution of PAH after TAVI in 424 patients using right heart catheterization.
In this pilot RCT, a total of 40 adults with hypertension will be randomized to either an artificial intelligence (AI) physical activity intervention group or an active control group with a 1 to 1 ratio after completing a 2-week run-in period and 4-week training. The AI intervention group will receive an automated and personalized daily step goal intervention involving a sophisticated activity analytics algorithm using advanced statistics and machine learning, while the active control group will receive a standardized and fixed 10,000 daily steps goal. Both groups will receive an identical smartphone app (app content differs between the two groups) and ActiGraph GT9X Link to assess objectively measured physical activity (primary outcome) during the study period.
This study will compare different exercise training protocols on health parameters of postmenopausal women. The hypothesis is that short duration high intensity interval training will promote different effects of long duration moderate intensity training.
Oral selexipag is commercially available in several countries for the treatment of a particular group of pulmonary hypertension (PH) called pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). The aim of the present study is to investigate whether selexipag could be helpful to treat patients with another form of PH called sarcoidosis-associated pulmonary hypertension (SAPH).
