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.
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 …
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 …
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 …
