Carotid Wall Texture as a Cardiovascular Risk Biomarker in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
This study aims to compare carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) and layer-specific texture characteristics of the carotid wall between individuals with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and normoglycemic controls, to assess the impact of T2DM on these ultrasound variables and evaluate their ability to discriminate between low and high cardiovascular risk …
Eating Window and Sleep Disorders on Glycemic Control, Cardiovascular Risk, and Weight Loss
This project aims to offer a quantitative and qualitative nutritional approach, along with educational nutritional guidelines for participants with Non-Communicable Chronic Diseases. The main goals are: 1- Regularization of eating habits and windows; 2- Modulation of biochemical, anthropometric, and cardiovascular parameters; 3- Increase in knowledge about healthy eating. In this …
Cardiovascular Effects of SGLT2 Inhibitors in Hemodialysis Patients: A Phase 2 Randomized Study
Patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) on hemodialysis face an unacceptably high rate of cardiovascular complications, including heart failure, arrhythmias, and sudden cardiac death. Many of these outcomes are driven by diastolic dysfunction and cardiac fibrosis-conditions that are not adequately addressed by current therapies. SGLT2 inhibitors, originally developed for the …
Effects of Nattokinase on Inflammation and Cardiovascular Risk Markers in Patients With Dyslipidemia
The study aims to evaluate the effect of the nattokinase enzyme on inflammation and markers of cardiovascular risk in participants with dyslipidemia. A longitudinal double-blind randomized clinical trial will be carried out, involving hypertensive participants with dyslipidemia for two months.
Exercise in Prematurely Born Preadolescents to Mitigate Cardiovascular Risk and Improve Cognitive Impairment
EXCELSIOR is a randomized controlled trial to investigate the effect of physical exercise on cardiovascular health in prematurely born children. Participants will be randomly allocated to either an intervention group or a control group. The intervention will receive a child-friendly physical exercise program and the control group will receive age …
Adverse Cardiovascular Events During Painless Gastroscopy Diagnosis and Treatment in Elderly Frail Patients
This study aims to compare the effects of conscious sedation and intravenous general anesthesia on cardiovascular events in frail patients undergoing digestive endoscopy diagnosis and treatment.
Transcutaneous Spinal Cord Stimulation Combined With Arm Bike for Cardiovascular Recovery in SCI
Spinal cord injury (SCI) can make it hard for the body to self-regulate some of its automatic functions like blood pressure, breathing, and heart rate. This can also make it hard for those living with SCI to exercise or complete their usual daily activities. The goal of this randomized trial …
PET Assessment of Disease Activity and Cardiovascular Disease Risk in ANCA-associated Vasculitis
Antineutrophil cytoplasm antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) is a severe autoimmune condition characterised by inflammation of small blood vessels. The condition causes multi-organ dysfunction and, if left untreated, is usually fatal. AAV is difficult to diagnose and the degree of disease activity is challenging to monitor. Current methods of disease activity …
Test 2 Treat: Can we Improve the Testing and Treatment of High Cholesterol in Patients Who Have Been Hospitalized for a Cardiac Event by Providing Education to Doctors and Patients?
The goal of this implementation trial is to learn if providing education to doctors and patients who have had a heart event works to prevent future heart problems. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does educating the doctors in a health system improve how often patients in the …
Tackling Disruptions to Frailty Interventions: Developing Personalized Interventions Targeted for Older Persons With Cardiac Frailty
Background: Muscle mass loss and metabolic dysfunction, exacerbated by inactivity and nutritional inadequacies, underpin both cardiovascular disease and frailty in ageing. The investigators' proposal seeks to develop interventions in exercise and diet that are targeted for older adults with cardiac frailty. Methods The investigators' proposal is a five-year study comprising …
