NCT01408303
The primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy of adding Epanova (2 g or 4 g daily) to an optimal statin monotherapy for lowering non-high-density lipoprotein (non-HDL) cholesterol in subjects with persistent hypertriglyceridemia and high risk for cardiovascular disease.
NCT00120289
The purpose of this study is to determine whether raising "good cholesterol" with a drug based on the vitamin niacin, while lowering "bad cholesterol" with a statin drug, can prevent more heart disease than the statin alone.
NCT01343667
The objective of this study is to provide an ongoing evaluation of clinical outcomes associated with the GORE Flow Reversal System and the GORE Embolic Filter when used for embolic protection during carotid artery stenting.
NCT01065077
A placebo controlled, double-blind and randomized study to assess different doses of a new drug (BAY58-2667) given intravenously, to evaluate if it is safe and can help to improve the well-being of patients with acute decompensated heart failure.
NCT00094302
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of aldosterone antagonist therapy in reducing cardiovascular mortality, aborted cardiac arrest, and heart failure hospitalization in patients who have heart failure with preserved systolic function.
NCT01421758
This study was designed to determine whether participation in an online social network intervention increases perceived social support for physical activity versus a minimal education control group by conducting a randomized controlled trial with 140 female undergraduate students. The investigators hypothesize that participants in the physical activity centered online social network intervention group will have greater increases in perceived social support for physical activity compared to minimal web based physical activity education controls.
NCT00318734
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) affects millions of people in the United States; each year, more people die from CVD than from any other disease. There are many dietary and lifestyle factors that may increase the risk of developing CVD. Preliminary research has shown that the presence of certain trace elements may be associated with the development of CVD. This study will examine toenail clippings and laboratory data to evaluate the link between trace elements and CVD risk factors in young adults.
NCT00508612
High blood pressure can often be caused by stress or anxiety. This study will evaluate a school-based stress and anger management program that aims to lower blood pressure and anger levels among high school students.
NCT01954160
Congestive heart failure is a common disorder in which the heart cannot pump enough blood to meet the needs of the rest of the body. Poor sodium handling by the kidneys is a damaging effect of heart failure, and it leads to symptoms of congestion such as shortness of breath or ankle swelling. Recent studies suggest that reducing the nerve activity to a kidney could reduce sodium retention and blood pressure. An improvement in the way the kidneys handle sodium may reduce disease progression and decrease symptoms for heart failure patients.
NCT00032370
Although a number of sophisticated diagnostic tests have been shown to be helpful in identifying patients at high risk for perioperative cardiac complications, no study has addressed the most important question: Should prophylactic coronary revascularization be performed prior to elective vascular surgery? This study is designed to answer this question.
NCT01128166
The goal of the MultiSENSE study is to collect chronic information from multiple sensors in an implanted device for evaluation in heart failure patients.
NCT00997503
The TAXUS Libertē Post-Approval Study is an FDA-mandated prospective, multi-center study designed to collect real-world safety and clinical outcomes in approximately 4,200 patients receiving one or more TAXUS Liberté Paclitaxel-Eluting Stents and prasugrel as part of a dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) drug regimen. This study will also contribute patient data to an FDA-requested and industry-sponsored research study that will evaluate the optimal duration of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT Study).
NCT02131142
The purpose of this study is to collect additional safety and effectiveness data for on the Biosensors BioFreedom™ BA9 Drug Coated Coronary Stent in patients with native, de novo coronary artery disease.
NCT01922089
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of initiating LCZ696 in heart failure patients with reduced ejection fraction (HF-rEF) using conservative (reaching target dose over 6 weeks) and condensed (reaching target dose over 3 weeks) up-titration regimens.
NCT01067859
NCT00887588
The study will assess the effects of 36 weeks of treatment with LCZ696 compared to valsartan on N-terminal pro-Brain Natriuretic Peptide (NT-proBNP) in patients with chronic heart failure and preserved left-ventricular ejection fraction.
NCT01478061
The Study plan is a post-market prospective, multi-center, open-label registry. The vein graft failure rates for the currently commercialized C-Port devices will be compared to an a priori rate taken from the peer-reviewed literature.
NCT00263042
The primary objective is to show whether rimonabant reduces the risk of a heart attack (MI), stroke, or death from an MI or stroke in patients with abdominal obesity with other cardiovascular (CV) risk factors. The secondary objective is to show whether rimonabant reduces the risk of MI, stroke, CV death, or CV hospitalization in these patients.
NCT01605292
Radial artery access for cardiac catheterization can require multiple attempts. Multiple attempts increase the time required, patient discomfort, and the risk of arterial spasm. Ultrasound guidance has been shown in other studies to reduce the number of attempts and complications in central venous and femoral artery access. This study will test if the addition of ultrasound guidance reduces the number of attempts and time required to access the radial artery.
NCT01414309
Central sleep apnea (CSA) has been associated with increased mortality and primarily occurs in patients with heart failure (HF). The primary purpose of this study is to document the natural progression of moderate to severe CSA in heart failure patients.
