Heart Health Study in Washington D.C. to Develop a Community-Based Behavioral Weight Loss Intervention
Background Past studies suggest that the best way to improve heart health in the Black community is through community-based programs. Researchers will partner with DC community leaders. They will collect information about the health and health needs of people in mostly Black churches in DC. They will study things that …
Association Between GalectiN-3 and POSt-operative AtrIal Fibrillation After Coronary Artery BypaSs Graft
The goal of this observational study is to test the association between high levels of Galectin-3 and the occurrence of post-operative atrial fibrillation after isolated coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). The main question[s] it aims to answer are: Is Galectin-3 an accurate biomarker to predict higher risk of developing post-operative …
Studying the Effects of Cannabis on Vasculature
Cannabis is commonly used globally. It is associated with psychiatric problems, but the effects on the cardiovascular system are unclear. In this project, the investigators plan to study the effects of cannabis on the cardiovascular system. This will be done by using a non-invasive test to measure blood vessel function …
Effects of Cross-sex Hormone Therapy on Eating Behavior, Metabolism, Energy Balance and Cardiovascular System
Current study aims to characterize five highly interconnected physiological systems in patients undergoing cross-sex hormone therapy - namely glucose and lipid metabolism, energy balance, eating behavior, functional brain networks involved in the regulation of eating behavior and the cardiovascular system - to gain novel insights into the effects of sex …
Potential Correlation Between Heart Rate Variability With Cardiovascular Risk at Different Stages of Metabolic Syndrome
The study aims to assess the beat-to-beat Heart rate variability (HRV) in different stages of metabolic diseases, including pre-diabetic and diabetic patients, compared to non-diabetic individuals. Heart rate variability will be compared for some antidiabetic drugs used in different stages of metabolic diseases and correlated to different metabolic and inflammatory …
Cardiovascular and Venous Thromboembolism Disease in Patients with Von Willebrand Disease in the French West
Due to increasing of life expectancy, patients with von Willebrand disease are exposed to age-related pathologies such as cancer or cardiovascular diseases. Management of thrombotic events is challenging given the inherent bleeding risk in von Willebrand disease. Few data are currently available in the literature. The aim of the study …
Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Physical Exercise on Aerobic Capacity in Patients With Cardiovascular Disease
According to the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), non-communicable chronic diseases-primarily cardiovascular diseases-are the leading cause of death and disability worldwide. These conditions result in long-term health consequences and require significant ongoing treatment and care. Among them, ischemic heart diseases-most notably acute myocardial infarction-are highly prevalent. Globally, cardiovascular diseases are …
Short-term Impacts of Endocrine Therapy on Cardiovascular and Brain Health Outcomes in Breast Cancer
Aromatase inhibitors are the most used endocrine therapy for hormone-positive breast cancer. While there is a clear linear relationship between the duration of aromatase inhibitor use and the cumulative incidence of cardiovascular events and mortality, the underlying mechanisms contributing to this risk remain unknown. This study will characterize the short-term …
WISE CVD - Continuation (WISE HFpEF)
The Women's Ischemia Study Evaluation (WISE), a cohort study of over 1000 women, has made many contributions to the understanding of cardiovascular disease. A milestone acknowledged in the 2011 AHA Herrick Lecture is the role of Coronary Microvascular Dysfunction (CMD) in women with symptoms/signs of ischemia without obstructive coronary artery …
Inflammatory Resolution in Cardiometabolic Health and Disease
The specific aim of this study is to determine molecular pathways that differentiate metabolically healthy vs unhealthy human phenotypes, and to investigate the therapeutic potential of pro-resolving lipids. Investigators will recruit volunteers that are metabolically healthy or unhealthy that fall within three BMI ranges: lean (18.-24.9 kg/m2), overweight (25.0-29.9 kg/m2) …
