There is an epidemic of type 2 diabetes in younger adults. These patients are at very high lifetime risk of heart-related complications. Subtle heart abnormalities can be present even at a young age in these patients and may predispose them to heart failure and ultimately premature death. There is emerging …
Randomized trial to evaluate the effectiveness of a intra operative blood recovery system in reducing the need for allogeneic transfusion in cardiovascular surgeries using cardiopulmonary bypass
Perioperative bleeding requiring blood transfusion is common during cardiovascular surgery, especially in procedures requiring cardiopulmonary bypass. Adenosine diphosphate (ADP) plays a fundamental role in platelet function. Several studies have shown that some patients not receiving antiplatelet therapy undergoing cardiovascular surgery have decreased platelet ADP receptor activity; the prevalence of this …
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess whether, over an observation period of 3 years, there is a reduction in cardiovascular risk, and the extent of this reduction, in a group of adult kidney transplant patients undergoing tailored exercise combined with dietary counselling compared to a group of …
The pharmacological treatment strategy is then tailored to the underlying hemodynamic phenotype of each patient. That is, rather than applying a one-size-fits-all treatment for all patients, therapy is tailored to the specific characteristics of how the cardiovascular system functions in each patient (e.g., whether the problem is more related to …
The investigators long-term goal is to better understand novel interventions to promote cardiovascular health in humans. The goal of the proposed research is to investigate whether there is sex-specificity in the effects of dietary capsaicin on mechanisms regulating nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability, its effect on key markers of cardiovascular (CV) …
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the effects of time-restricted eating in patients with history of acute coronary syndrome. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1) Is 10-hr TRE safe and feasible for patients with ACS; 2)What are the impacts of 10-hr TRE on …
Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Patients with peripheral arterial disease are at increased risk suffering from major adverse cardiac and limb events. Acute and chronic stress affect the cardiovascular system. Long-term negative stressors lead to cardiovascular diseases and can aggravate already existing cardiovascular …
Globally, chronic noncommunicable diseases rank as the leading cause of morbidity and mortality. Diabetes is reaching high epidemic proportions across the globe. The prevalence of diabetes is increasing in Saudi Arabia, with diabetes affecting 14.1% of the population across all age groups and 28% of those over the age of …
Anemia is associated with cardiovascular disease. Iron deficiency is usually induced in chronic kidney disease (CKD). In clinical studies, an inverse association between serum levels of iron and fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), a cardiovascular risk factor, has been demonstrated. In addition, a number of the I.V. iron presentations mostly …
