Repurposing Valsartan May Protect Against Pulmonary Hypertension
This is a Phase 2, single-center, randomized placebo controlled trial of valsartan (an angiotensin receptor blocker) in adults with pulmonary arterial hypertension. The study will evaluate the safety and clinical efficacy of a 24-week course of valsartan.
Overnight Trials With Heat Stress in Autonomic Failure Patients With Supine Hypertension
Patients with autonomic failure are characterized by disabling orthostatic hypotension (low blood pressure on standing), and at least half of them also have high blood pressure while lying down (supine hypertension). Exposure to heat, such as in hot environments, often worsens their orthostatic hypotension. The causes of this are not …
Inspiratory Muscle Strength Training in Chronic Kidney Disease
More than 80% of individuals with chronic kidney disease have concomitant hypertension and the majority fail to achieve blood pressure control \<130/80 mmHg, leading to high risk of cardiovascular diseases and end-stage kidney disease. A stepwise combination of lifestyle modifications and drug therapy is recommended to lower blood pressure; however, …
Hybrid Stroke Rehab With Mirror Priming
This trial aims to examine the effects of enhanced mirror priming, overcoming the limitations of traditional mirror therapy, to achieve optimization and personalized intervention.
Radiotracer-Based Perfusion Imaging of Patients With Peripheral Arterial Disease
The aim of this clinical study is to 1) establish a healthy database for nuclear perfusion imaging of the lower extremities and 2) assess the prognostic value of radiotracer-based perfusion imaging for predicting clinical outcomes in patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) who are undergoing lower extremity revascularization procedures. We …
DIEP Flap Breast Reconstruction: Perioperative Biomarkers and Outcomes
Brief Summary This observational study will follow patients who undergo DIEP flap breast reconstruction to better understand a common surgical challenge called ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. I/R injury can happen when a flap has a period without blood flow (ischemia) and then blood flow returns (reperfusion). This process may trigger inflammation …
Sleep and Circadian Mechanisms in Hypertension
This study is a mechanistic clinical trial designed to investigate the effects of the circadian system and sleep on non-dipping blood pressure (BP) in people with hypertension (HTN).
Genesis Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT): A Preliminary Study
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the Genesis Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) imaging system for use in pediatric respiratory disease populations including neuromuscular and bronchopulmonary dysplasia, as well as in age and height matched controls. The EIT does not use radiation, and is read through electrodes.
Bright Light Exposure in Surgical Patients
Elucidate the influence of intense light therapy pretreatment in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. We hypothesize that intense light exposure is associated with the peripheral stabilization of Per2 in human buccal swabs and plasma samples before surgery and with a decrease of Troponin I levels after surgery. In addition, we hypothesize …
Arterial Ablation for the Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Its Comorbidities
This study is assess the safety and performance of the Neurotronic Infusion catheter for treatment of patients with Type 2 Diabetes (T2DM) and hypertension.
