Filter by:Insomnia is defined as some difficulty in sleep onset, consolidation, duration, or quality, despite appropriate opportunities for getting sleep. In the last decade, there is growing evidence associating insomnia and high blood pressure, (HBP), coronary disease, heart failure, atrial fibrillation, as well as with an increased mortality rate. Despite the previously mentioned advances, the real impact of insomnia on HBP is unknown. It is unclear whether the diagnosis and pharmacologic treatment of insomnia will have an impact on 24-h BP. The aim of this study is to outline the prevalence of insomnia in patients with HBP followed in the ambulatories from the Hypertension Units at InCor and Hospital das Clínicas. The main hypothesis is that the prevalence of insomnia is high and most patients remain undiagnosed and consequently untreated. For this phase, up to 1,500 patients with HBP will be selected. Besides the medical records with demographic and anthropometric data, personal and familiar background, as well as regular medication, all patients will perform three systematic and standardized blood pressure checks on electric monitors.
This study aims to reduce fluid overload in order to control blood pressure of hypertensive CKD patients using bio-impedance assessment of fluid status and using a diuretic therapy algorithm.
Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) has significant associated morbidity and reduced quality of life. There is a significant risk of visual loss and patients also typically suffer with chronic disabling headaches. This trial has been designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a new formulation of exenatide (Presendin) in the reduction of intracranial pressure (ICP) in patients with IIH.
This project is part of the ACHIEVE GREATER (Addressing Cardiometabolic Health Inequities by Early PreVEntion in the GREAT LakEs Region) Center (IRB 100221MP2A), the purpose of which is to reduce cardiometabolic health disparities and downstream Black-White lifespan inequality in two cities: Detroit, Michigan, and Cleveland, Ohio. The ACHIEVE GREATER Center will involve three separate but related projects that aim to mitigate health disparities in risk factor control for three chronic conditions, hypertension (HTN, Project 1), heart failure (HF, Project 2) and coronary heart disease (CHD, Project 3), which drive downstream lifespan inequality. All three projects will involve the use of Community Health Workers (CHWs) to deliver an evidence-based practice intervention program called PAL2. All three projects will also utilize the PAL2 Implementation Intervention (PAL2-II), which is a set of structured training and evaluation strategies designed to optimize CHW competence and adherence (i.e., fidelity) to the PAL2 intervention program. The present study is Project 1 of the ACHIEVE GREATER Center
Rationale: Increased albuminuria has a relatively high prevalence in the general population (5-9%) People with increased albuminuria are more likely to develop progressive kidney and cardiovascular disease compared to persons with no albuminuria. ACE-inhibitors or Angiotensin Receptor Blockers are recommended by clinical practice guidelines to lower albuminuria in patients with hypertension and diabetes. However, despite these drugs decrease albuminuria by approximately 30%, elevated albuminuria remains present in the substantial proportion of persons in the general population. SGLT2 inhibitors are a relatively new class of drugs. Originally they were developed as oral antihyperglycemic drugs. SGLT2 inhibitors have been demonstrated to lower albuminuria and protect the kidney in patients with established chronic kidney disease (CKD) with or without diabetes. Whether the efficacy of SGTL2 inhibitors to lower albuminuria (and possibly confer kidney protection) to persons in the general population (with or without diabetes or hypertension) with persistent albuminuria who generally are at early stages of CKD is unknown. Objective: To assess the albuminuria lowering effects of dapagliflozin in subjects with and without diabetes or hypertension and persistent elevated albuminuria. Study design: Randomized placebo-controlled double blind clinical trial of 24 weeks in duration followed by a 4 weeks wash-out period
The purpose of the study is to determine if medical interpreters trained to advocate on behalf of their patients deliver improved care compared to standard medical interpreters
The overall goal of this pilot study is to examine the feasibility and acceptability of a culturally-tailored low-sodium dietary intervention is South Asian Canadians with stage one HTN. Specific objectives are to determine the feasibility (recruitment, retention, engagement and acceptability) of this intervention. Secondary outcomes include the effect of low-sodium dietary intervention on knowledge, attitude and self-regulation behaviours. Exploratory outcomes include its effect of systolic, diastolic blood pressure and sodium intake. Information obtained from this pilot trial will inform design of a larger randomized controlled trial in reducing BP in South Asian Canadians.
This randomized, double blinded, sham-control trial aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a novel focused power ultrasound mediated inferior perirenal adipose tissue modification therapy for essential hypertension.
the purpose of this study is to determine the effect of age on the Pharmacokinetics (PK) profile of BIA 5-1058 at steady state after multiple oral doses
The baroloop Study is a non-randomized, prospective, single-arm, multi center First in Human (FIH) study with the primary objective being the assessment of the safety and feasibility of using the baroloop System in subjects with uncontrollable hypertension. The secondary objective is to document the effect of the baroloop device on the blood pressure and quality of life in subjects with hypertension. Up to 10 subjects will be enrolled in up to 3 sites in Europe.
