Morning Versus Bedtime Dosing of Antihypertensive Medication
Previous studies have shown that elevated nighttime blood pressure (BP) was more closely associated with cardiovascular mortality and morbidity than daytime and clinic BPs. With increasingly advanced technology, not only 24-hour ambulatory but also home BP monitors can be used to evaluate nighttime BP. The validation study of the Omron …
Examining the Circadian Timing Effects of the Hypotensive Response to Exercise
The goal of this study is to learn how exercise timing affects blood pressure in adults with elevated or high blood pressure. Exercise can influence the body's natural 24-hour rhythms, including blood pressure patterns. A single exercise session can lower blood pressure for up to 24 hours, but it is …
Addressing Medication Non-adherence in Patients With Poorly Controlled Hypertension Using Urine Mass Spectrometry
Hypertension is the single largest contributor to cardiovascular disease and death. While adequate control of hypertension reduces risk of disease, many patients have uncontrolled hypertension. This is often due to medication non-adherence. Left undetected, patients are prescribed additional medications, and referred to multiple specialists for investigations - leading to increased …
The Effect of MediYoga on Sleep Quality, Blood Pressure, and Quality of Life in Older Adults with Hypertension:
The goal of this Randomized Controlled Trial is to test if an intervention consisting of Yoga can increase quality of sleep and health related quality of life and decrease BP. Secondary to explore and describe the implementation of a yoga intervention and the participants' experiences and perspectives on the intervention …
CPET in Myocardial Ischemia
The investigators goal is to determine whether cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) can be utilized in the diagnosis of myocardial ischemia. For the study participants the investigators will recruit patients who have been referred to myocardial perfusion PET/CT scan in Kuopio University Hospital. The participants will perform the CPET on a …
Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Imaging of Cholesterol Trafficking: Clinical Evaluation of [18F]FNP-59 in Normal Human Subjects (Groups 2, 3 & 4)
This study will evaluate the feasibility of using a sub-therapeutic dose of a fluorine-18 analogue of NP-59 ([18F]FNP-59) to image the adrenal gland. Some participants are healthy normal subjects but have undergone interventions to manipulate hormones while other participants have known adrenal pathology.
Inspiratory Muscle Strength Training for Lowering Blood Pressure and Improving Endothelial Function in Postmenopausal Women: Comparison With "Standard of Care" Aerobic Exercise
High blood pressure (BP) is the major modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and related health conditions, particularly among postmenopausal (PM) women. In adults age ≥50 years this risk is primarily driven by above-normal systolic BP (SBP ≥120 mmHg), as diastolic BP plateaus, then decreases in older adulthood. Although …
SCI-Pex Study - Safety and Performance of PexyEazy®, a Device for Treatment of Hemorrhoids
The SCI-Pex study is a multicenter, prospective, non-controlled investigation on PexyEazy®, a new device for treatment of hemorrhoids based on the mucopexy method. Mucopexy is a well established method where sutures are applied above the hemorrhoids. When knots are tied, the hemorrhoids are lifted inwards to their normal position, which …
OPtimizing Technology to Improve Medication Adherence and BP Control (OPTIMA-BP)
Hypertension (HTN) has a greater impact on African Americans (AA) than any other U.S. racial group. Uncontrolled blood pressure (BP) contributes to higher rates of disability, death, and health resource use among AA. HTN is the single most influential risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD), as well as a risk …
Effect of Dapagliflozin on Microvascular Function in Women With Symptoms of Coronary Artery Disease
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effects of a drug (in the drug class called sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors) in women who have symptoms of ischemic heart disease. The main questions the study aims to answer are: Does blood flow in the heart improve with study …
