The investigators hypothesize that cardiovascular and metabolic alterations can occur in patients with adrenal adenomas and possible Autonomous Cortisol Secretion (pACS). Investigators hypothesize that adrenalectomy in selected patients, following the 2016 European Congress of Endocrinology (ECE) guidelines, can improve metabolic parameters and cardiovascular risks and features.
Patients living with HIV (PLWHIV) have compromised muscle metaboreflex, which can cause exercise intolerance. This randomized controlled clinical trial will verify the effects of regular exercise on autonomic and hemodynamic responses to muscle ergoreflex activation in these patients. PLWHIV without regular physical exercise will be randomly assigned into an exercise …
To explore the predictive value of Electroencephalography features in Perioperative Neurocognitive Disorders in patients undergoing cardiovascular surgery under general anesthesia
The study aims to explore how cardiovascular function changes in the first year after a spinal cord injury, and to see how different treatments, like spinal stimulation through the skin (transcutaneous spinal stimulation), affect blood pressure. The main questions are: How does stimulation affect blood pressure over the year? What …
Aromatase inhibitors are the most used endocrine therapy for hormone-positive breast cancer. Despite the evidence that aromatase inhibitor therapy is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular events, potentially related to the duration of use, no studies have been conducted to characterize the long-term effects of aromatase inhibitor therapy on the …
Introduction: Pharmacological interventions can enhance smoking cessation success and long-term abstinence. Cytisine, a plant derived alkaloid, is a selective partial agonist at alpha-4 beta-2 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, which are crucial in nicotine dependence. Aim of the Study The primary objective of this observational study is to evaluate the efficacy of …
The main goal of this study is to test a virtual reality (VR) program, Survivors' Virtual Reality Survivorship Experience (SurviVRSE), designed to help Breast Cancer survivors (n=30) learn about heart health. The aims are to test the usability, feasibility, and acceptability o the intervention. Additionally, follow-up assessments will examine changes …
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the preliminary efficacy, feasibility, acceptability, and barriers and facilitators to implementation of the Confident Caregiver intervention among family caregivers of persons with cardiovascular disease participating in cardiac rehabilitation. Caregivers receive four individualized intervention sessions focused on assessment of caregiving challenges, tailored coaching, …
This fictional study is an example of a ClinicalTrials.gov-style record. It describes a Phase 1/2 trial evaluating the safety and tolerability of TB-500 (a 17-23 fragment of thymosin beta 4) versus placebo in adults with stable atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). Exploratory endpoints assess vascular function and inflammation biomarkers
Exercise training is a cornerstone in the prevention and rehabilitation of cardiovascular disease. While research has primarily focused on endurance training, resistance training becomes more and more important. The gold standard to prescribe resistance training intensity or monitor longitudinal changes is the 1-Repetition-Maximum (1-RM) test. However, particularly for unexperienced individuals, …
