Pneumonia, which can be acquired in the community (including influenza and COVID-19), is a leading cause of mortality. The risk of severe cardiovascular diseases events (stroke, myocardial infarction, pulmonary embolism) increases after infections, but causal mechanisms are not understood yet. There is an essential need for improved understanding of the …
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of muvalaplin in reducing cardiovascular risk in participants with high lipoprotein(a) who have cardiovascular disease or are at risk of a heart attack or stroke.
Participants include men and women ≥ 40 years of age with T2DM, established CV disease, a history of HTN with an SBP of at least 130 mmHg at screening, who meet the predefined serum potassium level, and with at least one additional risk factor for HF. The study will include …
Objective: This clinical study employs a prospective, paired, self-controlled, non-inferiority, multicenter research design to assess the safety and efficacy of utilizing 5G cloud follow-up for CIED in parameters monitoring and remote programming post-implantation. Participants will: undergo regular clinic follow-up visits in accordance with the guidelines undergo routine in-office follow-up and …
Glycemic control is a mainstay of diabetes management to reduce the risk of microvascular complications and cardiovascular outcomes in people with type 2 diabetes (T2D). However, intensive control to near-normal glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) yielded complex results in previous landmark trials. Potential risks of intensive glycemic control, such as hypoglycemia and …
The goal of this observational study is to validate a simplified questionnaire, adapted for routine clinical use, to quickly detect sleep disorders in patient during a cardiology consultation. Two questionnaires were developed for this project. The first is patient-oriented: a prospective, multicentre, national observational registry based on a patient questionnaire …
PREVENER is a randomized, open-label, multicenter, phase IV clinical trial designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a carotid ultrasound-based strategy for the primary prevention of cardiovascular events in patients with inflammatory rheumatic diseases (IRD). Patients with IRD, including rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriatic arthritis (PsA), axial spondyloarthritis (AxSpA), and …
The purpose of this study is to examine how the environment and neighborhood characteristics affects the health of the area residents. The study will help determine how changing neighborhood characteristics, such as green space, affect heart health, risk factors for other diseases, sense of well- being or neighborhood cohesion.
Background Studies show that rare genetic variants might lead to diseases. Researchers want to collect blood and tissue samples so they can study them and better understand diseases. Objective To collect blood and tissue samples for studies to identify underlying causes of disease. Eligibility People of all ages Design Participants …
The main objective of this study is to test the ability of novel cardiovascular disease (CVD) prognostic tools to identify women at risk for future CVD. We plan to establish a cardiovascular health screening program at the St. Boniface Hospital and to test the efficacy of these tests for predicting …
