Optical Coherence Tomography And NEphropathy: The OCTANE Study
Patients with high blood pressure (hypertension) and chronic kidney disease are at an increased risk of developing heart disease and strokes. Part of this risk is due to changes in the structure and function of the blood vessels throughout the body. It is thought that reducing high blood pressure and …
Risk and Resilience in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension and Genetically Susceptible Individuals
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a severe disease with a delayed diagnosis and markedly elevated mortality. High-risk populations, such as those with known genetic defects, provide a unique opportunity to determine the features of susceptibility and resilience to PAH. This proposal will fundamentally overturn the prevailing understanding of PAH by …
REgistry of Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension Associated With CONNECTIVE Tissue Diseases (RECONNECTIVE)
The RECONNECTIVE Registry is an observational single center study, focused on the subgroup of precapillary pulmonary hypertension related to connective tissue diseases. All patients will have hemodynamic confirmation by right heart catheterization and will be follow-up for at least 5 years from admission. All patients diagnosed with Group I Pulmonary …
VicorderCS NIBP Validation Study to Review The Ability to Capture Blood Pressure Measurements
80 Beats Medical introduces the VicorderCS, the next generation of our Vicorder technology designed to manage hypertension and cardiovascular risks. This advanced diagnostic equipment offers non-invasive collection and computation of a plethora of cardiovascular markers. It is faster, easier to use, and more portable than its predecessor, with enhanced connectivity …
The Impact of ERA Switching on Risk Stratification in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a rare, progressive, and potentially fatal disease characterized by increased pulmonary vascular resistance and right ventricular dysfunction. Among the four major molecular pathways involved in PAH pathophysiology-nitric oxide, prostacyclin, activin, and endothelin-1 (ET-1)-the endothelin pathway plays a central role. Endothelin-1 acts on ETA and ETB …
Exercise Capacity Muscle Oxygenation and Arterial Stiffness in Children With Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension
The primary aim is to evaluate pulmonary function, respiratory muscle strength, upper and lower extremity exercise capacity, muscle oxygenation, dyspnea, peripheral muscle strength, arterial stiffness, physical activity level and balance in children with pulmonary arterial hypertension and compare with age- and sex-matched healthy controls. The second aim is to investigate …
Study Roles of Heavy Metals and Essential Metal Dyshomeostasis in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension Patients
Investigators plan to recruit 50 PAH patients from UofL PAH Clinic, with various degrees of severity (25 intermediate risk patients and 20 high risk patients) and 10 age and gender matched controls. PAH patients are evaluated at least every 6 months by the PAH Clinic and blood/urine samples will be …
Risk Factors and Multiomics Study of Chronic Kidney Disease Caused by Metabolic Diseases
With the development of China's economy, people's living standard have improved, and the dietary structure have changed. Metabolic diseases, such as hypertension, diabetes, hyperuricemia and obesity have gradually become an important health burden in China. The pathophysiological mechanism of renal injury caused by metabolic diseases has always been a hotspot …
Addressing Barriers to Achieving Cardiometabolic Disorders Prevention and Treatment Goals for PLWH in the SE US
This study has 3 aims. Aim 1: Identify social determinants of cardiometabolic health and determine facilitators and modifiable barriers in achieving treatment goals. Aim 2: Assess PLWH knowledge, skills, and confidence for self-management of cardiometabolic disorders. Aim 3: Tailor a self-management support and education intervention with stakeholder input to address …
Mechanisms for Atrial Fibrillation in Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common rhythm disorder and involves an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and death, impaired quality of life and a high proportion of healthcare consumption. An important risk factor is obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). However, it is not fully understood why OSA induces AF. It …
