Active clinical trials for "Dyslipidemias"

Dyslipidemias are a major risk factor for the onset of cardiovascular disease, while early diagnosis and appropriate treatment approaches significantly reduce cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The aim is to provide revised Greek guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of dyslipidaemias. The lipids of the human body are cholesterol (it is used to synthesize cell membranes, adrenal hormones and gonads and is a component of bile) and triglycerides (used as a fuel and as a storage of energy in adipose tissue). Dyslipidemias are disorders (quantitative or qualitative) of the metabolism of lipoprotein particles [low density lipoproteins (LDL), chylomic, high density lipoproteins (HDL), very low density lipoproteins (VLDL)] that carry lipids into the body. Primary prevention in subjects aged 40-65 years with no known clinical atherosclerotic disease and without diabetes or chronic renal disease should evaluate the likelihood of a fatal cardiovascular event over the next 10 years. For this purpose, it is recommended to use the Greek version of the SCORE of the Hellenic Heart SCORE.

The North American ACS Reflective III Pilot is an observational, Quality Enhancement Research Initiative (QuERI), knowledge translation program designed to give feedback to physicians on their post-ACS lipid-lowering management in an effort to support their decision-making and choice of therapies and thereby better achieve evidence-based, guideline-recommended management of post-ACS patients. The ACS Reflective III Pilot follows the completed ACS Registries I, II, and III, ACS Reflective I, and the ongoing ACS Reflective II programs.

The purpose of study to assess the control of dyslipidemia in the Indian diabetic population treated with any hypolipidemic agent.

The purpose of this study is to compare rates and risk of primary cardiovascular events among elderly patients newly initiating therapy with atorvastatin or simvastatin. The specific objectives for this project are to: 1) examine the demographic and clinical characteristics of the elderly patients in whom atorvastatin or simvastatin was newly initiated; and 2) compare cardiovascular event rates in elderly patients in whom atorvastatin or simvastatin was newly initiated.

To estimate the rates of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) outcomes in patients after drug-eluting stents implantation who take statins.

The purpose of this study is to assess the prevalence of metabolic and physical abnormalities in HIV infected (via mother-to-child transmission) and uninfected children and youth. Metabolism, body composition, bone density, and other factors will be assessed in relationship to participants' exposure to highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART).

The project was aimed to explore the associations of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of vitamin D receptor gene with specific circulating lipids in adult Chinese. The circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentration was also tested to explore its interactions with SNPs in the associations.

In this study, I am aime to analyze lipid profile in patients with ACS who presents at sohag university hospital, and its clinical and complications pattern.

This is a multi-centre, cross-sectional, chart review study to investigate cholesterol goal attainment rates defined by modified NCEP-ATP III guidelines and define its possible determinants among Korean dyslipidemic patients

This study is to investigate correlation between Carotid Intima Media Thickness (cIMT) and several factors such as; hs C-reactive protein (CRP), HbA1c, lipid profile in Korean diabetic patients with atherosclerosis. Total 360 patients will be enrolled through 6 sites.
