To compare the cardiovascular profile of pre-conceptional women at risk for developing Gestational Hypertensive Disorders in subsequent pregnancy before and after physical activity.
The researchers intend to recruit individuals who are referred for a routine screening in the primary prevention outpatient clinic of Attikon University hospital, Athens According to institutional protocols, a detailed medical history for atherosclerotic risk factors and current medication is recorded and a baseline clinical examination is performed. Moreover fasting …
The goal of this phase I/II clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and preventive effect of intravenous infusion of human allogeneic bone-marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cell product StromaForte in study participants. The main questions it aims to answer are: To assess the safety and tolerability after 28 days of injection …
Lower attainment of cardiovascular health (CVH), indicated by the American Heart Association's Life's Simple 7 (LS7; physical activity, diet, cholesterol, blood pressure, body mass index, smoking, glycemia) and Life's Essential 8 (LE8; LS7+sleep) metrics, is a major contributor to Black men having the shortest life-expectancy of any non-indigenous race/sex group. …
The ACTIONcardioRisk trial is designed to investigate the effect of aerobic and progressive resistance training exercises combined with cognitive training, on neurocognitive functioning of sedentary older adults with and without cardiovascular risk factors.
Older people with HIV (OPWH) are disproportionately impacted by cardiovascular disease (CVD) attributable to behavioral risk factors, and chronic HIV immune dysregulation resulting inflammation. Systemic inflammation is exacerbated by psychological distress via activating the immune response and driving pro-inflammatory CVD risk behaviors. There is promising evidence to suggest that mindfulness …
This prospective observational study evaluates the impact of propofol and ketamine on the risk of cardiovascular collapse during induction for endotracheal intubation in critically ill patients. Induction agents play a crucial role in managing hemodynamic stability, particularly in this vulnerable population. Propofol, known for its vasodilatory and myocardial depressant effects, …
Aortic stenosis, a common cardiovascular disease, is pathophysiologically associated with a chronic inflammatory myocardial reaction and fibrosis leading to cardiac dysfunction and impaired coronary perfusion. These elements may precede the onset of symptoms. The assessment of inflammatory and fibrosis factors (in particular by means of biomarkers) in patients with aortic …
Patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) on hemodialysis face an unacceptably high rate of cardiovascular complications, including heart failure, arrhythmias, and sudden cardiac death. Many of these outcomes are driven by diastolic dysfunction and cardiac fibrosis-conditions that are not adequately addressed by current therapies. SGLT2 inhibitors, originally developed for the …
Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) is the main complication and the most important cause of death in CKD patients. As the disease progresses, the incidence of cardiovascular disease in CKD patients gradually increases, especially in End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) patients receiving dialysis treatment, where the prevalence of cardiovascular disease reaches its highest …
