Use samples procured from patients to improve understanding of molecular, cellular, and tissue-level processes produced by a variety of cardiac diseases and therapeutic interventions.
Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is a secondary prevention program for patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD). It is especially valuable as CVD increasingly occurs in combination with comorbidity, frailty, and complexities of care that predispose patients to functional decline, disability, and high costs. Still, few Veterans participate in CR, in part because …
The investigators will use state-of-the-art imaging to look at heart disease in people with haemophilia. Haemophilia is an inherited disorder in which blood does not clot properly because of lack of a key 'glue' blood component (chemicals known as factor VIII or IX). People with haemophilia are 40% less likely …
The purpose of this randomized controlled study is to investigate the effect(s) of a pilot women-only cardiac rehabilitation (CR) program. The study team will be testing the effectiveness, compliance and enjoyment of this women's only cardiac rehabilitation (CR) program by comparing outcomes to those randomized to receive Michigan Medicine's current …
The primary objective of this project is to investigate the effectiveness and costs of integrating a behavioural program targeting sleep and stress (the RESST intervention) into cardiac rehabilitation (CR). In addition, the investigators will also study whether parameters regarding diversity (e.g., sex, ethnicity, socioeconomic position) are associated with intervention effectiveness. …
Background and Rationale Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is a key intervention for patients with chronic heart disease or recent acute cardiovascular events. In elderly and frail patients, CR aims not only to improve functional capacity but also to maintain or recover independence in daily activities. Hospitalization following an acute event often …
The study is sponsored by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, which is part of the National Institutes of Health. The study expects to enroll 400 subjects. The research team will recruit research participants that are finishing or will finish cardiac rehabilitation soon. Participants belong to one or more …
Lipoprotein(a), also known as Lp(a), is a protein that carries cholesterol and proteins in your blood. People with high Lp(a) have a higher risk for heart disease. The main purpose of the study is to investigate how lepodisiran, compared to a placebo, affects the amount and type of plaque in …
The CARDIOSTROKE is a randomized trial comparing mobile-device assisted control of hypertension together with screening of occult atrial fibrillation to standard care in patients with recent ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack.
The primary purpose of this study is to determine if there are significant differences with respect to baseline between those randomized to CGo and standard-of-care versus standard-of-care alone after completing 12-weeks of therapy in terms of peripheral endothelial function measured by EndoPAT.
