Managing Frailty Through Mobilization in Males and Female Inpatients With Cardiovascular Disease
Frailty describes the overall health of a person. Inpatients with cardiovascular problems have a higher risk for frailty - or the sick are more likely to get sicker - causing longer hospital stays, hospital readmission, and death. Females are particularly vulnerable to these problems, generally displaying higher frailty levels than …
Circulating microRNAs and Adverse Cardiovascular Outcomes in Patients With Coronary Artery Disease
Coronary artery disease (CAD) resulting from atherosclerotic obstruction of epicardial coronary arteries accounts for more than one-third of deaths in subjects over the age of 35 worldwide. The global incidence of CAD is on the rise owing to the international epidemic of obesity, type 2 diabetes and aging, all of …
Prediction Models for Cardiovascular and Neurocognitive Disease Risk in the General Population
More accurate and earlier identification of people at risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and neurodegenerative diseases (memory, cognition, dementia) through the appropriate use of biomarkers could lead to earlier initiation of preventive therapies and potentially avoid sometimes fatal events and complications. Biomarkers are useful for determining the risk of disease, …
Influence of Frailty on Cardiovascular Events and Mortality in Patients With COPD.
Observational study on the influence of frailty on cardiovascular risk in COPD.
A Longitudinal Study to Identify Mechanisms of Menopause on Cardiovascular Disease Risk
With the cessation of estrogen production at menopause, the risk of cardiovascular disease like arthrosclerosis, myocardial infarction and stroke increases dramatically. Physical activity is the single most powerful "drug" for maintaining and improving cardiovascular health, but recent data suggest that the positive effect of physical activity is lost at menopause. …
Impact of Disclosing Coronary Artery Disease Polygenic Risk Score on Cardiovascular Health
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether disclosure of a polygenic risk score for coronary artery disease (CAD PRS) influences cardiovascular health and risk factor modification over one year among adults aged 30-75 years in the Mass General Brigham primary care network who are not currently taking …
Assessment and Prediction of Cardiovascular Health and Disease Risk Using Wearable Biometrics.
This prospective, observational cohort study will evaluate the associations between wearable-derived biometrics and cardiovascular health, quantified by the American Heart Association's Life's Essential 8 framework, as well as related cardiovascular risk factors. The study aims to determine whether wearable biometrics can support the assessment of cardiovascular health and cardiovascular disease …
Atrial Dyssynchrony to Predict Arrhythmias in the Postoperative Setting of Cardiovascular Surgery.
This study aims to improve the prediction for developing arrhythmias in the postoperative period of cardiovascular surgery by using non-invasive echocardiographic techniques that are sensitive to detect inter and intra-atrial dyssynchrony. The main question it aims to answer is: Do patients with atrial dyssynchrony are at increased risk of developing …
Effect of Chocolate Consumption Prior to Prolonged Sitting on Cardiovascular Health in Adults
This randomized controlled crossover trial investigates the acute effects of consuming dark, milk, and white chocolate before prolonged sitting on cardiovascular health in healthy adults. Each participant completes three separate study visits and receives all three chocolate conditions in a randomized order, with a 7-day washout period between visits. Blood …
Cardiovascular Risk and Circadian Misalignment in Short Sleepers - Role of Extended Eating Period
Short sleep duration confers high cardiovascular and metabolic risk, but lifestyle factors and molecular mechanisms that contribute to increased blood pressure and poor glucose control during short sleep are not completely understood. Habitual short sleepers are constantly eating, the proposed studies will evaluate if this behavior contributes to heightened cardiovascular …
