Prevalence, Incidence and Risk Signature of Chronic Kidney Disease in Sub-Saharan Africa
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The prevalence of CKD is increasing worldwide and is assumed to also dramatically increase in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Key shortcomings of available data on CKD in SSA are as follows: (i) Available data are based on single measurements …
Causes and Natural History of Dyslipidemias
This study will evaluate people with dyslipidemias - disorders that affect the fat content in the blood. Fats, or lipids, such as cholesterol and triglycerides, are carried in the blood in particles called lipoproteins. These particles are involved in causing blood vessel diseases that can lead to conditions like atherosclerosis …

Imaging and Physiologic Evaluation of Coronary Artery Disease
To evaluate the long-term clinical outcomes and prognostic factors in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) undergoing invasive coronary angiography (ICA), intravascular imaging, or invasive physiologic assessment.
Naples Federico II Intensive Cardiac Care Unit Registry (Naples FED2-ICCU Registry)
This protocol proposes to prospectively evaluate current epidemiology, pharmacologic and invasive management and clinical outcomes of patients with acute cardiovascular diseases admitted at our ICCU.
Biomarkers and Cardiac CT
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in developed countries. In addition, many patients suffer from valvular and aortic disease. Although various tools are available to identify patients with cardiovascular (CV) disease at risk for major adverse cardiac events (MACE), the identification of these patients …
