Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to study the improvement of lipid levels in hypothyroid individuals after staring treatment. The main question it aims to answer is: • whether adding Vitamin D to standard therapy has any additional benefits Participants will be given Vitamin D in replacement doses according to their pre-existing Vitamin D level in addition to levothyroxine. Researchers will compare them with another group receiving only levothyroxine to see how much lipids improve in them
This observational study aims to learn about the correlation between the improving comorbidities associated with obesity after MGB (Mini-Gastric Bypass) surgery and changes in body composition in morbidly obese patients. The main questions it aims to answer are: To study the correlation between the improving comorbidities associated with obesity after MGB(Mini-Gastric Bypass) surgery and changes in body composition. Other objectives are: - Changes in the parameters of the metabolic syndrome after surgery - Changes in the cardiovascular risk biomarkers after metabolic surgery - Emergence in complications arising out of surgery requiring any intervention or causing a prolonged hospital stay, or requiring additional outpatient visits. Type of Study: An observational study in which participants with morbid obesity will undergo mini-gastric bypass surgery as per routine protocol. No separate experimental interventions will be done in the study for the participants.
Despite work showing the overconsumption of saturated fatty acids (SFA) to be metabolically deleterious, debate continues about whether there is a link between SFA and cardiovascular disease risk. To explore this, we are undertaking a human in vivo parallel-design study, comparing two isocaloric high-fat diets; one enriched with SFA and the other enriched with unsaturated fatty acids (UFAs), to determine the impact of dietary fat composition on postprandial metabolism, liver fat, cardiac fat and cardiac function.
The EMERALD intervention involves 1) ordering an Emergency Department (ED) lipid panel, 2) calculating 10-year Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk using the Pooled Cohort Equations, 3) prescribing a moderate- or high-intensity statin if applicable, and 4) referring patients to outpatient care (primary care, preventive cardiology, or general cardiology, depending on risk level).
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is the first cardiovascular cause of death that seriously threatens human health worldwide. Its incidence rate and mortality are increasing year by year and becoming younger. According to statistics, the average age of men and women with AMI for the first time is 65.6 years old and 72 years old respectively, of which 4%~10% AMI occurred before 45 years old. At present, there is no uniform age threshold for young AMI. Generally speaking, AMI with onset age less than 55 years for men and 65 years for women is called early-onset AMI, accounting for 5%~13% of AMI. Compared with elderly patients with AMI, patients with early onset AMI have different risk factors, clinical characteristics and prognosis, such as lower proportion of patients with diabetes and hypertension, more single vessel lesions and rare left main artery involvement, and higher long-term recurrence rate and mortality. Although the progress of preventive measures and treatment methods has reduced the hospitalization rate of elderly AMI patients, the number of young AMI patients in hospital is still rising. Therefore, in-depth analysis of the characteristics of risk factors of early onset AMI and early intervention are of great significance to reduce the risk of onset and improve long-term prognosis. Hyperlipidemia is an independent risk factor for coronary heart disease at all ages, and is more closely related to early onset AMI. It is reported that more than 50% of early onset AMI patients are accompanied by hyperlipidemia. However, at present, the research on the relationship between blood lipids and early onset AMI is limited to the comparison of the level of single lipid component between early onset AMI and different control groups, or the comparative analysis of the relationship between a specific lipid component and the risk of early onset AMI with young healthy people. There is no research to compare the correlation between various lipid components and the risk of early onset AMI. Therefore, this study plans to deeply analyze the correlation between different blood lipid components and their ratios and early onset AMI, and further analyze which blood lipid indicators are most closely related to early onset AMI through large sample clinical research data, taking late onset AMI patients as the control, which should be paid early attention to and strictly managed.
Dairy consumption has shown associations with decreased incidence of cardiometabolic diseases. With the growing interest in plant-based eating, and the mounting evidence for the cardiovascular benefits of plant forward diets, national dietary guidelines have pivoted away from promoting exclusive daily dairy consumption. Soymilk is the most nutritionally comparable non-dairy plant-based alternative to cow's milk. Although the DGA, Health Canada, and various pediatric associations recognize fortified soymilk as the only non-dairy alternative equivalent to cow's milk and it can carry an approved health claim for coronary heart disease risk reduction based on the soy protein that it contains, soymilk is classified by the NOVA classification as an ultra-processed food (the opposite of the classification of cow's milk as an unprocessed or minimally processed food). To be an acceptable iso-sweet alternative to cow's milk, soymilk is also often sweetened with sucrose, which is designated as an added sugar, whereas the lactose that sweetens cow's milk is not (despite lactose in cow's milk being present in quantities that are double that of sucrose in soymilk products designed to be iso-sweet analogues of cow's milk). With near universal recommendations from major public health authorities to reduce the intake of both ultra-processed foods and added sugars and the FDA proposing to update its "healthy" claim criteria to limit added sugars, the role of soymilk as a "healthy" non-dairy alternative to cow's milk is in serious question. The effect of soy protein on other cardiometabolic outcomes is also unclear. To address this question and better inform health claims and guideline development, the investigators will conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials of the effect of soy protein as soy milk, in substitution for cow's milk, on various intermediate cardiometabolic mediators.
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine the acute effects on postprandial lipemia and glycemia by supplementing a high-fat meal with either white button (WB) or shiitake (SH) mushroom powder in relatively healthy adults, aged 18 to 35.
Late subclinical cardiovascular disease in testicular cancer survivors exposed to cisplatin-based chemotherapy and bone marrow transplant
Purpose The LDL-C is a very important marker of the lipid panel which allows the introduction of a treatment and then the follow-up to prevent the cardiovascular risk. Friedewald et al have established the most widely used equation at the present time. However, it has many well-known limitations, as being false in postprandial period. New equations have been developed recently. Our work consisted in the assessment of the accuracy of Friedewald, Sampson and Martin-Hopkins equations and evaluated the consequences in terms of misclassification. Given that European recommendations allow the realization of lipid profiles in postprandial period, we studied the accuracy of these equations in non-fasting state . Method The LDL cholesterol concentrations will be calculated using at least three different equations (Friedewald, Sampson, Martin-Hopkins). Results will be compared between equations and between calculated and measured concentrations determined using an ultracentrifugation method. The study is conducted out according to The Code of Ethics of the World Medical Association (Declaration of Helsinki) and obtained the agreement of the Scientific and Ethics Committee of the Hospices Civils de Lyon (LDL EQUATION CNIL 21_488) Hypothesis To evaluate the most accurate equation in different conditions: - Fasting and non-fasting state - In subjects with normal or dyslipidemic lipid profile To evaluate the clinical impact on risk re-classification and lipid treatment goals if LDL-c is calculated using the best equation instead of the Friedewald's.
Acute coronary syndromes (ACS) represent a major contributor to mortality, morbidity, and healthcare costs. Effective therapies are widely available; however, adherence is low. This contributes to worse patient outcomes and increased risk of morbidity and mortality. The once-daily polypill leverages a population-based strategy that has previously demonstrated efficacy in improving adherence and access to therapy in low-resource settings, making it an innovative approach for improving post-ACS care. This study aims to investigate the utility of a polypill-based strategy for patients with ACS with drug eluting stent (DES) placement. The polypill will consist of a high-intensity statin (rosuvastatin 40 mg daily), aspirin 81 mg daily, and either clopidogrel 75 mg or prasugrel 10 mg daily.
