The planned research project is a prospective population-based cohort study, similar to the well-known Framingham study in the United States. So far, there is no similar research project in Switzerland. It is planned to examine of three Swiss municipalities. Recruitment in a first Swiss municipality (Lostallo/Cama GR) started 2014 and …
The study is aimed at patients who suffer from severe obesity and receive a computerised tomography (CT) scan of the heart. A total of 1200 patients across Europe are to take part in the study. It is a multi-centre, controlled, open, randomised study. As part of the study, a citizen …
This is a prospective, observational study which is evaluating the obstetrical, neonatal, and cardiovascular outcomes of 1000 pregnant people with known heart disease to define how best to structure cardio-obstetrics care to optimize outcomes.
V-INTERVENTION will evaluate the effectiveness of inclisiran in preventing major cardiovascular and limb events in patients receiving percutaneous coronary or peripheral arterial revascularization. Inclisiran is a subcutaneous, twice-yearly injection that is FDA-approved as an adjunct with statin therapy and on the market to lower LDL-C in high-risk populations.
Childhood adversity is highly prevalent, with 59% of the U.S. population reporting at least one adverse childhood experience (ACE). Substantial evidence links childhood adversity to cardiometabolic disease later in the life course, including heart disease, diabetes, and stroke, which are 3 of the top 10 causes of mortality in the …
Aging is an independent risk factor for developing hypertension and cardiovascular disease; however, the mechanisms underlying age-related cardiovascular disease remain poorly understood. One hallmark of aging is an increase in sympathetic nervous system activity, which can decrease the number and/or sensitivity of β2 adrenergic receptors to reduce dilation of blood …
This prospective clinical study will involve the non-invasive assessment of retinal vessels using OCTA (Cirrus OCT 6000 AngioPlex) and scanning laser Doppler flowmetry (SLDF) in patients with cardiovascular disease and healthy individuals. The study will be conducted at the Clinical Research Centre (CRC), Department of Nephrology and Hypertension at the …
A large body of evidence indicates numerous health benefits of physical activity, including prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD), the leading cause of death in the US. This evidence has led to US Physical Activity Guidelines that recommend ≥150 min/week of moderate or ≥75 min/week of vigorous aerobic exercise (AE), plus …
This is a randomized controlled human exposure crossover study. Investigators aim to assess the acute effects of low temperature exposure on cardiovascular system and the underlying mechanisms.
