Filter by:This study is to compare the efficacy and safety of ozarelix 15 mg given intramuscular (IM) 2 weeks apart on the improvement of symptoms and the duration of improvement for up to 6 months in men with Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy (BPH) who are over 50 years of age.
The study is to determine the safety and efficacy of Dutasteride in patients who have failed Finasteride therapy for their symptomatic benign prostatic enlargement/ hypertrophy (BPE/H).
The purpose of this study is to determine if the creation of a fistula or a graft plays a role in the development of heart disease for patients undergoing hemodialysis
The purpose of this study is to determine if using Eprex, to maintain hemoglobin within the normal range, will prevent or delay the progression of left ventricular mass growth.
- To evaluate Blood Pressure (BP) reduction to the targeted values (BP ≤ 140/90 mm Hg in non-diabetic patients, and ≤ 130/80 mm Hg in diabetic patients). - To emphasize and to evaluate the benefit of Irbesartan in the reduction of left ventricular mass index in hypertensive patients with left ventricular hypertrophy. - To demonstrate safety of Irbesartan in this population.
This study will examine the relationship between certain measures of heart function and exercise capacity in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Patients who participated in NHLBI studies 01-H-0006 ("Double Blind Placebo-Controlled Study of Pirfenidone - A Novel Anti-Fibrotic Drug - in Symptomatic Patients with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Associated with Left Ventricular Diastolic Dysfunction") and 96-H-0144 ("Double Blind Placebo-Controlled Study of Long-Term Effects of Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibition (Enalapril) and Angiotensin II Receptor Blockade (Losartan) on Genetically-Induced Left Ventricular Diastolic Dysfunction") are eligible for this study. Data from echocardiograms and measures of left ventricular pressure obtained from patients in those studies will be analyzed in the current study to assess their influence on exercise capacity. No additional tests, treatments or other procedures are required. Information from this study may help in the development of improved drug treatments for HCM.
The purpose of this study is to investigate effect of candesartan based therapy on percent change of B type natriuretic peptides(BNP) level in the subjects with hypertension and left ventricular hypertrophy.
The Dallas Heart Study (DHS-1) is a large, multi-ethnic, population-based epidemiological study designed to identify determinants of atherosclerotic heart disease (ASHD) in a representative United States (US) urban environment. This study completed enrollment in 2003. Our objective is to pinpoint factors contributing to progression: 1. from health to ASHD risk; 2. from ASHD risk to subclinical ASHD; and 3. from subclinical to clinical ASHD. Identification of the critical factors in these transitions will enable targeted implementation of appropriate therapy to interdict before clinical ASHD develops.
The LIFE study was conducted from 1995-2001. This study was conducted in 9193 patients with high blood pressure and thickening of the main pumping chamber of the heart. The results showed that after an average treatment time of 4.8 years, treatment that was based on losartan was better than treatment based on atenolol for reducing the risk of having a stroke. The main study results were published in Dahlof et al. Lancet 2002;359:995-1003.
This is a pilot clinical trial to assess whether the administration of diltiazem may be able to decrease the development or progression of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Diltiazem is a commonly used medication for the treatment of high blood pressure and studies on animals with HCM suggest that diltiazem decreases disease development. This study specifically targets individuals in the "prehypertrophic" phase of HCM-- those with documented sarcomere gene mutations without echocardiographic or EKG evidence of LVH, and therefore without a clinical diagnosis of HCM. The hypothesis of this study is that starting diltiazem administration early in life (in the prehypertrophic phase) will decrease the progression of HCM in individuals with sarcomere gene mutations. This will be assessed by looking at an improvement in the heart's ability to relax using echocardiography, as well as exploratory analyses of a broad range of features reflecting the heart's structure and function.
