Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD) therapy has become a well-established treatment option for endstage heart-failure either as a bridge to transplant (BTT) or destination therapy (DT). Monitoring of the pump and with this the cardiac status with the HeartMate 3 (HM3) is currently very limited to infrequent log-files with one …
This research study aims to learn more about the impact the hormone aldosterone on the heart. Primary aldosteronism is a condition where the body's adrenal glands make too much of the hormone aldosterone, which can cause high blood pressure and increase the risk of heart and kidney disease. Treatment with …
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a lung condition characterized by chronic respiratory symptoms (dyspnoea, cough, sputum production and/or exacerbations) due to abnormalities of the airways (e.g. bronchitis, bronchiolitis) and/or alveoli (emphysema) that lead to persistent, often progressive, airflow obstruction. It is a major cause of disability and death worldwide. …
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate if, in patients with severe obesity (body mass index (BMI) ≥30 kg/m2) and high-risk cardiovascular disease (CVD), bariatric surgery compared to medical weight management (MWM) safely reduces the risk of major cardiovascular events. The cost-effectiveness of bariatric surgery will also be …
The purpose of this study is to understand more about why young people who were born to a hypertensive pregnancy may have increased risk of high blood pressure and are often at increased risk of heart and blood vessel disease later in life.
This study examines how the interaction between octanal (an OR6A2 receptor activator) and OR6A2 expression influences inflammation and clinical outcomes in Myocardial Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury patients. We analyze two key relationships: 1) The octanal-OR6A2 pathway's association with systemic oxidative stress/inflammatory biomarkers, and 2) How OR6A2 expression patterns on monocyte subtypes and …
The goal of this clinical trial is to understand about the effects of resistance training (RT) intensity on cardiovascular parameters in postmenopausal women with systemic arterial hypertension (SAH). The main research questions are: Does the intensity of RT impact blood pressure (BP) in postmenopausal women with SAH? How does RT …
Why Is This Research Study Being Conducted? The study wants to find out why people with a type of blood cancer called myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are more likely to have heart problems like heart disease and stroke. Researchers also want to see if certain proteins related to inflammation in the …
The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the cardiovascular health and prognosis of adult patients with cancer, treated with cardiotoxic therapies. The main purposes of the study are the following: Identify the demographic factors related to the onset of cardiotoxicity produced by anticancer drugs. Identify any subgroups more …
This study (VIHMET) aims to explore how dietary changes, specifically the adoption of a Mediterranean diet, can improve health outcomes in people living with HIV (PLWH) who are on antiretroviral therapy (ART). PLWH often experience chronic inflammation, metabolic disturbances, and elevated cardiovascular risk due to the virus, immune activation, and …
