People released from prison experience two times higher cardiovascular (CV) mortality than the general population, have a high prevalence of poor CV health and increased risk of CV events within 2 years of release. Access to high quality healthcare following release from prison is key to preventing poor health and …
Interventional cardiologists are facing an increasing burden of calcified coronary arteries in keeping with an ageing population and rising prevalence of diabetes mellitus and chronic kidney disease. Heavily calcified plaques impede balloon dilatation and successful stent delivery, resulting stent under-expansion, malposition, and damage to the drug-eluting polymer coats. This translates …
The present research project aims to assess, through a survey, awareness of general and sex/gender-specific cardiovascular risk factors, as well as the perception of the risk of developing further cardiovascular diseases, among patients in secondary prevention.
The aim of Prevent CardioKids is to evaluate to what extend disturbed vascular function markers are already present in children of different weight categories and whether these are age dependent. Also differences - and relationships - between vascular function measurements and plasma biomarkers between lean and overweight/obese children will be …
This study was designed using the Multiphase Optimization Strategy (MOST) framework to determine whether two supplemental components increase the efficacy of a mindfulness-based cognitive therapy program delivered via telephone (MBCT-T) for psychological distress. Specifically, this study will test mindfulness booster sessions to follow a standard 8-week MBCT-T intervention, as well …
The goal of this randomised controlled trial is to learn if a digital prehabilitation program is feasible in patients awaiting cardiac surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are: Is the digital health program usable? Is the digital health program acceptable? Do patients adhere to the digital health program? …
The goal of the clinical trial is to assess whether the data collected from wearable devices can reduce the uncertainty in predicting the cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in women aged 40-69 years in a situation where information about the blood pressure and blood lipids are unavailable. Participants will: Complete a …
Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. While CVDs are predominantly diseases of aging, age itself does not predict CVD risk; people age at different rates. Frailty is a state of accelerated aging that increases the risk of adverse health outcomes. Frail people are at …
This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo parallel controlled study to evaluate the preliminary efficacy, safety, and PopPK profile of ABP-745 in patients with ASCVD. Efficacy of ABP-745 in reducing atherosclerotic plaque compared with placebo will be evaluated in participants with ASCVD. The primary efficacy measurement will be assessed at …
The goal of this early-stage study is to support the heart health of home health aides, a workforce that provides care for adults at home but whose own health has been historically poor. To do this, the study will use Life's Essential 8 (LE8), a program developed by the American …
