The rupture or erosion of an atherosclerotic plaque with thrombosis or embolization often underlie heart attacks and strokes. The early identification of patients with atherosclerotic plaques prone to rupture or erosions, vulnerable plaques (VP), and their treatment before the occurrence of events is, therefore, one of the greatest cardiovascular challenges …
Background The right amount of fats in the blood (cholesterol and triglycerides) are a key part of a healthy organism. Too much or too little of these fats may manifest as diseases (dyslipidemia). There are many causes for these abnormalities, but some are genetically determined and we would like to …
This study included patients with carotid artery atherosclerotic plaques to conduct multimodal ultrasound examinations, aiming to establish a plaque vulnerability assessment model based on ultrasonic imaging indicators, clinical history, and laboratory indicators. Based on the occurrence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events during the 3-year follow-up period, the correlation between the …
This study aims to enhance personalized and preventive care for non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in Kazakhstan by examining epigenetic factors, predicting biological age and reproductive function using machine learning, and developing health improvement recommendations.
The clinical significance of pulmonary embolism (PE) limited to the subsegmental pulmonary arteries, so called isolated subsegmental pulmonary embolism (SSPE), remains controversial. Whether isolated SSPE represents "true" PE, a clinically more benign form of PE, a physiologic lung clearing process, or a false positive result (artifact) is currently unclear and …
The purpose of the SPYRAL SWYFT sub-study is to evaluate whether renal denervation with the Symplicity Spyral system performed in the main and first order branch renal arteries yields a shorter procedure time and is as effective in reducing blood pressure than the procedural approach used in the SPYRAL HTN-ON …
Imaging methods today represent the pillar of prevention, diagnosis, patients monitoring and treatment. Improvement in technology led the development of increasingly high-performance scanners whose potential has not yet been fully explored. In particular, recently introduced photon counting CT scanner and new high filed MRI offers a lake of latent information …
The purpose of the SPYRAL GEMINI Pilot Study is to evaluate that multi-organ denervation with the Gemini System is safe and provide evidence of blood pressure reduction when studied in an uncontrolled hypertensive population with and without high cardiovascular risk.
The purpose of this study is to determine which of the following four service models is most effective for reducing fall risk among home-delivered meal clients: (1) meals alone, (2) meals + registered dietitian services, (3) meals + occupational therapy services, (4) meals + registered dietitian + occupational therapy services.
To determine whether treating to an LDL-C target of 25 to \<70 mg/dL is superior to an LDL-C target of 70 to \<100 mg/dL with respect to major cardiovascular events (cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, stroke, hospitalization for unstable angina, or coronary revascularization) in patients aged ≥75 years with atherosclerotic cardiovascular …
