Effects of Nattokinase on Inflammation and Cardiovascular Risk Markers in Patients With Dyslipidemia
The study aims to evaluate the effect of the nattokinase enzyme on inflammation and markers of cardiovascular risk in participants with dyslipidemia. A longitudinal double-blind randomized clinical trial will be carried out, involving hypertensive participants with dyslipidemia for two months.
Identifying Biological Markers of Cardiovascular Events in Patients With Aortic Stenosis or TAVI
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 …
Carotid Wall Texture as a Cardiovascular Risk Biomarker in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
This study aims to compare carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) and layer-specific texture characteristics of the carotid wall between individuals with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and normoglycemic controls, to assess the impact of T2DM on these ultrasound variables and evaluate their ability to discriminate between low and high cardiovascular risk …
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 …
COMMODITIES Trial: Initial Dual Oral Therapy vs Monotherapy in PAH With Cardiovascular Comorbidities
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a rare, progressive disease associated with poor prognosis, especially in patients with cardiovascular comorbidities. Current guidelines recommend initial combination therapy, but evidence is lacking for patients with significant comorbidities who are often excluded from clinical trials. The COMMODITIES trial is a multicenter, randomized, controlled study …
Lower-Limb Muscle Mass and Cardiovascular and Muscular Performance in Males and Females
The aim of this study will be to examine the relationship between leg muscle mass and muscle strength, aerobic capacity, anaerobic power, and jumping performance in young adults. In addition, these physical performance measures will be compared between male and female participants. Recreationally active young adults will be recruited to …
Effect of Yoga Training on Cardiovascular and Mental Health Parameters in Hypertensive Patients
The objective of this study will be to analyze the effect of 16 weeks of Yoga training on cardiovascular, autonomic, mental health, and cognitive parameters in hypertensive individuals. This is a randomized, controlled clinical trial to be conducted with adults and elderly (40 years or older), of both sexes, diagnosed …
Prospective Evaluation of New Metrics to Assess Cardiovascular Remodeling in Obstructive Sleep Apnea
The goal of this prospective study is to gain insight into the endophenotypic variation in OSA, with a focus on the underlying pathophysiological traits and the cardiovascular alterations associated with the condition. To capture the variability in OSA endophenotypes, novel metrics that extend beyond the AHI will be considered, with …
Improving Patient-Centered Care for Underserved Older African American Patients With Cardiovascular Comorbidities
This is formative evaluation trial guided by the Values Clarification Theory25 and the Cultural Values Theory26, with specific aims to: Aim 1. Develop a culturally appropriate version of the PPC Approach for older AAs with CVCs by assembling a community advisory group of 3 primary care clinicians, 3 older AA …
Cardiovascular Disease Prevention Strategies for High-risk Urban Sedentary Employees in Karachi, Pakistan
Heart diseases and other non-communicable diseases are serious health issues in countries like Pakistan. Many people who work in offices, like bank employees, sit for more than 8 hours a day. This is called a sedentary lifestyle, and it increases the risk of heart diseases. This research project aims to …
