NAUTICAL: Effect of Natriuretic Peptide Augmentation on Cardiometabolic Health in Black Individuals
Black individuals are more likely to have decreased insulin sensitivity which results in a high risk for the development of cardiometabolic disease. The reasons for this are incompletely understood. Natriuretic peptides (NPs) are hormones produced by the heart that play a role in regulating the metabolic health of an individual. …
Characterization of the Temporo-masseteric Nerve Block (TMNB) in Healthy Subjects
The proposed pilot study is aimed at preliminary characterization of the TMNB injection in 20 healthy volunteers. Assessment of bite-force distribution and surface electromyographic activity of the temporalis and the masseter muscles, at rest and clench, before and after unilateral TMNB injection, will be the primary outcome measures. Post-injection assessments …
High Protein Diet and Atherosclerosis
Atherosclerosis is the underlying cause of the majority of cardiovascular diseases, including myocardial infarction and strokes, and results in tremendous morbidity and mortality. A Western-type diet is a major risk factor for atherosclerosis because of the high saturated fat, cholesterol, and refined carbohydrate contents. Dietary strategies to reduce cardiovascular disease …
Improving Adherence to Statin Therapy Through a Medication Management Application
Interventional study to compare standard of care vs standard of care plus the use of a medication therapy management smartphone app (mediteo m+, Mediteo GmbH, Heidelberg) in patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and indication to start high intensity statin therapy.
Acute Exposure to Diesel: Prolong Effects on Inflammation and Vasculature
Cross-over double-blind study. Healthy subjects will be exposed to diesel exhaust fumes and/or filtered air during a 2-hour session. Several parameters will be assesed i.e. endothelial function will be assessed with flow mediated dilation (FMD) techniques, arterial stiffness with pulse wave velocity (PWV) and reflected waves with augmentation index (AIx). …
T-Mem GEne in Atherosclerosis
Atherosclerosis is the main cause of cardiovascular diseases and is characterized by the progressive accumulation of lipids and inflammatory cells such as macrophages and lymphocytes within the vessel wall of large and medium-sized arteries, forming the so-called "atherosclerotic plaques". The formation process of these lesions is different depending on the …
A Clinical Study of IMC-001 for Injection in Improving Atherosclerotic Plaque Stability in Patients With Acute Coronary Syndrome.
A two-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-escalation IIT clinical study evaluating the safety and preliminary efficacy of injectable IMC-001 in improving atherosclerotic plaque stability in patients with acute coronary syndrome. The plan is to conduct 2 dose groups, with 9 subjects enrolled in each group, including 6 in the treatment group …
Exercise Addiction and Health Risks in Gym Users
This observational study aims to investigate the prevalence of musculoskeletal injuries and cardiovascular risk factors among individuals with and without exercise addiction. Adult recreational gym users who have been engaging in resistance training for at least six months will be included. Participants will be divided into two groups based on …
Clinical Research Protocol of Ferumoxytol for Magnetic Resonance Enhancement Imaging in Patients With Atherosclerosis.
We are preparing to initiate a clinical trial involving Ferumoxytol for magnetic resonance-enhanced imaging in patients with atherosclerosis. The aim of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of Ferumoxytol for magnetic resonance angiography in patients with atherosclerosis.
A Study to Evaluate the Efficacy, Safety, Pharmacodynamics (PD), and Pharmacokinetics (PK) of Selnoflast in Reducing Vascular Inflammation in Participants With Atherosclerosis at Risk for Major Adverse Cardiac Events
The main purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of selnoflast compared with placebo in participants with atherosclerosis, at high-risk for major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE), who are currently on standard-of-care (SOC) therapy.
