Cardiovascular Manifestations of MR Activation in Primary Aldosteronism: Pilot Clinical Study
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 …
HTN App for HTN Control and Cardiovascular Health Among African-Americans
The purpose of this study is to test the hypertension (HTN) app-based intervention to see if it is more effective in improving uncontrolled HTN and HTN self-care among Africian-Americans from baseline to post-intervention (immediate, 3 months and 6 months post-intervention) as compared to the standard of care.
Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor Associated Cardiovascular Adverse Events in Patients With Cancer
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) have revolutionized cancer treatment and are now approved for various types of cancer. The most common side effects of ICI are immune-related adverse events which can affect any organ or system in the body. Recently, concerns have also risen about cardiovascular effects of ICI. Retrospective studies …
Optimizing Cardiovascular Preventive Care for Women Following Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death among women in the United States, and women with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy have a 2-fold higher risk for cardiovascular disease later in life compared to women with uncomplicated pregnancies. This research investigates a patient-centered intervention during the postpartum period to promote …
Cardiovascular Risk Reduction for Adults With Food Insecurity Using Structured Incentives
The overarching aim of this proposal is to test the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of CVD-FIT, a novel, multi-component intervention that includes three components: 1) monthly income supplementation; 2) weekly structured incentive for the purchase of healthy food options; and 3) evidence-based telephone delivered CVD risk reduction education and skills training …
Defining Inflammatory Markers of Cardiovascular Disease in Patients With Myelodysplastic Syndromes
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 …
OR6A2 on Monocytes and Cardiovascular Outcomes in Myocardial Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury
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 …
Cardiovascular Health in Adult Patients With Cancer Exposed to Cardiotoxic Therapies
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 …
Exercise Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance In Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction
The purpose of this study is to internally validate low-field Ex-CMR as a noninvasive tool for diagnosing, phenotyping, and risk stratifying HFpEF in patients with exertional dyspnea.
Using taVNS to Modulate Cardiovascular Function in Individuals With Neurologic Disease
The purpose of this study is to find out whether a type of gentle nerve stimulation, called transcutaneous auricular Vagus Nerve Stimulation (taVNS), can help improve how the body regulates heart rate and blood pressure in people with Parkinson's Disease (PD). Problems with heart rate and blood pressure control are …
