ORIGINS-VRCE-2 is an observational study aimed to assess how blood vessel forming stem cells from individuals without diabetes or a history of cardiovascular disease differ between individuals of South Asian and European ethnicities. The overarching objective of the study is to investigate whether differential vessel reparative stem cell populations and …
This exploratory study's primary objective is the changes of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) symptom severity by cardiovascular endurance training (CET) in relation to the baseline sedentary or non-active lifestyle. Secondary endpoints focus on the mechanisms associated with these changes. These mechanisms relate to dietary adaptations, changes in anxiety, depressive comorbidity, …
An increased risk of cardiovascular (CV) diseases has been observed in patients with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). The impact of IBD drugs, such as anti-TNF, anti-integrins or anti-JAK, on the risk of CV events in IBD is remains unknown. Aortic pulse wave velocity (aPWV), a measure of aortic stiffness, and …
Inflammatory Cardiovascular Diseases and Autoimmune Rheumatic Diseases (ICARDs) encompass cardiovascular involvement in connective tissue diseases, vasculitis, and primary inflammatory cardiac processes affecting all layers of the heart. ICARDs are associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, independently of traditional risk factors, via multiple pathophysiological mechanisms. Diagnosis and prognosis are challenged …
The goal of this project is to establish a biobank of clinical information, DNA, plasma, and aortic tissue samples from patients with cardiovascular disease as well as healthy controls.
Determining the etiology of cardiomyopathy is of high clinical importance for optimal treatment strategy and prediction of prognosis. There is increased risk for cardiovascular disease and higher propensity for cardiovascular related mortality among Black and non-Hispanic White patients. Recently, advanced cardiac imaging has become a vital tool in diagnosis and …
This study aims to improve the way patients with cardiovascular diseases are informed about their treatment options. It explores methods to support shared decision-making between patients and doctors. In some cases, doctors will take extra time to discuss treatment options in detail. To assess the impact, some patients will be …
While advancements in cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) have improved image quality, it is unclear how these improvements are connected to the clinical evaluation of individuals with cardiovascular disease. The aim of this large prospective registry revolves around 4 key principles: 1) utilize CMR to gain additional pathophysiologic insights into cardiovascular …
The purpose of the Cardiovascular and Metabolic Sciences Biorepository is to collect and store information and biospecimens (blood, urine, stool, and heart tissue) from patients with and without cardiovascular and metabolic diseases to create a readily available biorepository of samples and related medical health information to expedite future research into …
The Global Cardiovascular Risk Consortium (GCVRC) brings together harmonized individual-level data from currently more than 2 million (anticipated: approximately 3 million) individuals across 133 cohorts, 40 countries, and 6 continents, with recruitment ongoing. The GCVRC examines the impact of classical cardiovascular risk factors-such as body-mass index, systolic blood pressure, non-high-density …
