The Role of EDHFs on Blood Pressure Following a Bout of Prolonged Sitting
Canadians spend most of their day in sedentary postures (i.e., sitting, lying, reclining). While the beneficial impacts of physical activity on the heart are well-established, less is known about the consequences during time spent in sedentary postures. Currently, we know that spending time in a bout of uninterrupted sitting disrupts …
Effects of Tart Cherry and Aronia Extract Supplementation on Selected Physiological Parameters in Endurance-Trained Men
This study will evaluate the effects of four weeks of oral supplementation with a double-standardized tart cherry (Prunus cerasus) and aronia (Aronia melanocarpa) extract on cardiovascular regulation and exercise performance in healthy endurance-trained men aged 40 to 75 years. In a randomized crossover design, 25 participants will receive CHG SPORT …
Impact of Anti-TNF, Vedolizumab and Tofacitinib on Aortic Stiffness, Carotid Intima-media Thickness and Cardiovascular Risk of Patients With Ulcerative Colitis
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 …
Feasibility Assessment of Cardiovascular Endurance Training for the Symptomatic Improvement of Irritable Bowel Syndrome Patients With a Sedentary and Non-active Lifestyle.
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, …
Implementation of Job Rotation for the Development of Nursing Competencies and the Improvement of Organizational Health in a Department of Cardiovascular Sciences: A Research Protocol
This prospective, monocentric observational study aims to evaluate the implementation of a Job Rotation (JR) program in the Department of Cardiovascular Sciences at Fondazione Policlinico Universitario A. Gemelli IRCCS. The primary objective is to assess the impact of JR on the development of professional and clinical nursing competencies, as well …
Cardiovascular Biorepository
Use biospecimens procured from patients and organ donors to improve understanding of molecular, cellular, and tissue-level processes produced by cardiovascular disease and therapeutic interventions
EACVI Study on Multimodality Cardiovascular Imaging of Inflammatory Cardiovascular Diseases
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 …
Cardiovascular Health Improvement Project
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.
Cardiovascular Multimodality Imaging Study
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 …
Effectiveness of Decision Support for Cardiovascular Risk Management in People With Cardiovascular Disease
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 …
