Novel Echocardiographic Biomarkers Assessing the Myocardial Work in Heart Failure
This study seeks to investigate the clinical value of novel echocardiographic indices, including myocardial work parameters, during the acute phase of heart failure hospitalization. The trajectory of novel echocardiographic indices from the start to the end of hospitalization will be captured, as a means to unravel and subsequently better understand …
CV Imaging of Metabolic Interventions
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide. It is becoming clearer that heart failure (HF) is closely associated with body's metabolism. Even before the heart becomes weaker, it responds to the stresses by changing the fuels it burns, which results in a reduction in the heart's metabolic efficiency …
GENESIS: Genotype Guided - Natriuretic Peptides - Cardiometabolic Health Study
Natriuretic Peptides (NP) are hormones produced by the heart, and they have a wide range of favorable metabolic benefits. Lower levels of these hormones are associated with an increased likelihood of the development of diabetes and poor cardiometabolic health. Obese and Black individuals have \~30% lower levels of NP and …
Application of [68Ga]Ga-NI-FAPI-04 PET/CT Imaging in Fibroblast Activation Protein Related Diseases
The purpose of this study is to conduct clinical research on \[68Ga\] Ga-NI-FAPI-04 PET/CT imaging and further investigate its diagnostic value in fibroblast activation related diseases.
Effects of Milk-based Drinks on Gut Microbiome, Sleep and Cardiometabolic Markers
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of kefir on gastrointestinal health, sleep quality, and biochemical parameters in adults who have sleep problems. Further measurements of cognitive function, arterial stiffness and blood pressure will also be assessed. The following questions will be addressed during the study: What …
Focused Power Ultrasound Mediated Inferior Perirenal Adipose Tissue Modification Therapy for Essential Hypertension (PARADISE HTN-III)
This seamless two-stage phase II/III clinical trial aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a novel focused power ultrasound mediated inferior perirenal adipose tissue modification therapy for essential hypertension. Stage 1 is a phase II, multicenter, open-label, randomized trial to determine the optimal treatment strategy. Stage 2 is a …
Natural History Study of CADASIL
Background CADASIL (cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarct and leukoencephalopathy) is a genetic disorder. It causes narrowing of the small blood vessels and can lead to strokes and dementia. Researchers want to monitor people with CADASIL over time. Objective To learn more about how CADASIL affects a person s …
The Influence of Hormone Replacement Therapy and Supervised Exercise Training on Body Composition, Cardiovascular Risk and Insulin Sensitivity in Postmenopausal Women
This trial investigates whether supervised training in combination with hormonal substitution therapy has an impact on body composition, cardiovascular risk, risk for dementia, osteoporosis and insulin sensitivity in postmenopausal women.
Passive Heat Therapy for People With COPD
People with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) often develop high blood pressure and heart disease due to their sedentary lifestyle and difficulty exercising. The investigators will test if heating can mimic the health benefits of exercise by monitoring the increase in leg blood-flow using ultrasound during a 45-minute hot-water footbath. …
A Study About How Blood Cell Growth Patterns Relate to Heart Health After Treatment for Hodgkin Lymphoma
This study assesses how blood cell growth patterns (clonal hematopoiesis) relate to heart health or cardiovascular disease (CVD) after treatment in patients with Hodgkin lymphoma. In some patients, cancer treatment at a young age may lead to later complications, including problems with heart health. Checking for blood cell growth patterns …
