Filter by:The primary purpose of this study is to estimate the percentage of participants in the population considered clinically as not having pulmonary hypertension (PH) that are positive for PH biomarker (micro ribonucleic acid [RNA]); estimate the percentage of participants in the population considered clinically as not having PH that are positive for PH by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and compare results of the MRI to the biomarker results; to determine the performance of the biomarker signatures identified in the CIPHER (NAPUH0001) study in terms of sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV), in a population considered clinically as not having PH.
The aim of this study was to determine if 4 manual osteopathic treatment techniques; Spinal manipulation, stretch intrathoracic fascia, sternum recoil and cranial base release has an immediate effect on blood pressure (BP) in hypertensive adults.
Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is caused by scarred blood clots in the blood vessels supplying the lungs. This in turn leads to failure of the right side of the heart. The reason why these scarred clots form is unknown. An operation to remove the scarred clots, known as pulmonary endarterectomy, is a potential cure. However, some patients have persistent obstructions within the blood vessels and heart failure even after surgery. It is thought that abnormal levels of proteins, found in the blood stream and responsible for inflammation and the development of new blood vessels may have role in causing the disease. In this study, these proteins were measured to assess whether they provide clues as to the cause of the disease and whether they could be used for the risk stratification of patients.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety by assessing all serious and non-serious adverse events (AEs), irrespective of relatedness or expectedness, as well as other safety parameters including laboratory values, serious adverse events (SAEs)/serious adverse drug reactions (ADRs), unexpected AEs and ADRs that are not reflected on the precaution in the use, ADRs already known, non-serious ADRs and other safety related information (laboratory values changes, etc).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety by determining the incidence rates of all adverse events (AEs) including serious adverse events (SAEs)/serious adverse drug reactions (ADRs), unexpected AEs and ADRs that are not reflected on the precaution in the use, ADRs already known, non-serious ADRs and other safety related information (laboratory values changes, etc).
SMART-BP is a randomized, controlled study in which hypertensive patients are allocated to self monitoring of blood pressure monitoring (SMBP) only group or SMBP with mobile App based feed-back algorithm (SMBP-App) group. The App based feed-back algorithm will provide the patients with instruction in response to the measured BP value, e.g. remind of taking drug, if high blood pressure is detected. The primary outcomes are mean systolic BP change and drug compliance at 24-weeks. Secondary endpoints include mean diastolic BP change at 12-week, mean systolic and diastolic BP change at 12 and 24 weeks, and drug compliance.
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the virus responsible for COVID-19, enters type II pneumocytes using angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2). It is unclear whether ACE inhibitors (ACEIs) and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) increase, decrease, or have no significant effect on ACE2 expression or activity. Therefore, ACEI and ARB may be harmful, beneficial, or have no impact on Coronavirus Disease 2019 severity and mortality. The Specific Aims of this observational study are: (1) Among SARS-CoV-2-positive outpatients, compare all-cause hospitalization and mortality rates between: 1.1 Current users of a range of doses of ACEI/ARB- vs. non- ACEI/ARB-based regimens, and 1.2 Current users of a range of doses of ACEI- vs. ARB-based regimens, and (2) Among those hospitalized for COVID-19, compare all-cause mortality between: 2.1 Current users of a range of doses of ACEI/ARB- vs. non- ACEI/ARB-based regimens, and 2.2 Current users of a range of doses of ACEI- vs. ARB-based regimens.
The ACR LAB is a prescription-only, nurse- or clinician-conducted in vitro diagnostic (IVD) device. The test is for the qualitative and semi- quantitative detection of Albumin, Creatinine, and the Albumin-to- Creatinine Ratio. The device is composed of a kit and a smartphone application using an image recognition algorithm. The degree of agreement of the ACR | LAB as compared to the comparator device will be tested. Urine samples will be tested by a separate professional user on each device.
High dietary salt is associated with immune activation, elevated levels of inflammatory cytokines and hypertension in murine models. Hypertension is independently associated with inflammation in both murine studies and studies in humans. In people living with HIV, these interactions are not well established. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of excess dietary salt on immune cell activation, pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines and blood pressure between individuals with and without hypertension among people living with HIV and HIV negative persons.
The virus infection Covid-19 fills our hospitals and intensive care departments in a very unique way and there is a lack of essential insight into the pathophysiology of the disease. As a result, very specific treatment options are missing. The US Medicines Agency (FDA) has in the last days given a general license for treatment with inhaled nitric oxide (iNO). Inhaled NO in Sweden (and Europe) is approved for the indication of pulmonary hypertension in adults. However, no one has yet described the occurrence of pulmonary hypertension, with or without right ventricular loading, in the Covid-19 patients who become so seriously ill that they need to be treated at an IVA ward. Knowledge of this is, of course, a prerequisite for determining the need for pulmonary artery catheterization (PA catheter, Swan-Ganz catheter) and also to better understand whether iNO treatment or other forms of lung selective vasodilation therapy may be of benefit to this patient group.
