Active clinical trials for "Dyslipidemias"

To observe the effiacay, safety and risk of developing diabetes, review the patients chars who had administrated or neet to administrate the Pravafenix cap for enroll period, it is an prospective observational study that only collect the collectable information follwoing the hospital visiting date from enroll point to information collecting date. There is no extra visit for this study. Observe the data which has been collected for 3 yearts every year from enroll point, if the patients agree to be participated in this study and are suitable in inclusion/exclusion criteria. If the lipid-lowering drugs(only Ezetimibe is possible) is add-on the Pravafenix Cap administrating period, it will be analyzed by laering analysis separately. But, the reason why it is add-on to have to be written on e-CRF.

The main objective of the study is to assess the serum levels of progranulin and FAM19A5 protein in adults with metabolic syndrome.

Chronic coronary syndrome (CCS) is a newly described classification devised by the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) 2019 to replace the term "Stable Coronary Artery Disease (CAD). The main reason for effecting the change is the term is thought to better describe the disease process and encompass a wider spectrum of clinical, pharmacological, and pathophysiological entities. Using this new term, the disease atherosclerosis manifests as CAD is categorized into Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) and CCS. The main focus of introducing the concept of CCS is on the fact that CAD is a continuous phenomenon involving intravascular plaque aggregation and progression which has different evolutionary phases. Dyslipidemia is recognized as a prominent risk factor for cardiovascular (CV) disease. It is characterized by an elevation of serum total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), or triglycerides (TG) and reduced serum high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) concentration . Genetically determined and metabolically induced disturbances in lipid metabolism, as manifested in several types of dyslipidemia, have been shown to be causally related to the development of coronary artery disease (CAD). A diversity of clinical and angiographic studies has been made to evaluate the linkage between plasma lipid-control therapy in the development of recurrent cardiovascular events. Independent predictors of recurrent CVD events or death include age, smoking, hypertension (HTN), dyslipidemia, diabetes mellitus, chronic kidney disease, and the underutilization of medications recommended by current treatment guidelines.

The Nordic Diet is a dietary pattern rich in traditional Nordic foods, including berries, grains, and fatty fish common in northern Europe. Studies have shown a protective effect of the Nordic Diet on cardiometabolic risk factors, however only select clinical practice guidelines for the management of diabetes (i.e. Diabetes Canada) recommend this dietary pattern. To support the update of the EASD clinical practice guidelines for nutrition therapy, the investigators propose to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies and clinical trials to investigate the association between the Nordic Diet, cardiometabolic outcomes and cardiovascular disease incidence and mortality. The findings generated by this proposed knowledge synthesis will help improve the health of consumers through informing evidence-based guidelines and improving health outcomes by educating healthcare providers and patients, stimulating industry innovation, and guiding future research design.

Recent trials have demonstrated that a reduction in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) reduces cardiovascular adverse events following acute coronary syndrome (ACS). However, the data coming from the real-world setting are limited. Therefore, the aim of the study is to assess the association between LDL-C changes with prognosis in patients who survive ACS. Patients with ACS will be followed for mortality and major events for at least 1 year. Changes in LDL-C between the ACS and a 6- to 10-week follow-up visit will be analysed. The associations between quartiles of LDL-C change and therapy intensity with outcomes will be investigated using adjusted Cox regression analyses.

This randomized controlled pharmacokinetic based study will be carried out on patients with both sexes and various ages, plasma triglycerides levels, clinical health disorders and using different agents for treatment of their hyperlipidemia in order to access the optimal drug therapy with best cost effectiveness in the elderly cases under investigation.

Vegetarian diets have been associated with a reduced risk of preventable diseases such as type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. These effects may be mediated through direct or indirect pathways. Although the high intakes of nuts, legumes, dietary fibre, whole grains, and unsaturated plant oils have each individually been associated with lower risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease, so too has the displacement of red meats, processed meats, and saturated animal fats. One of the most important considerations in moving from animal-based diets to more plant-based diets is the replacement of animal proteins (e.g. meat, fish, dairy, eggs) with vegetable proteins (e.g. legumes, nuts, and seeds). It is unclear whether this particular replacement alone results in advantages for metabolic and cardiovascular health. To improve evidence-based guidance for dietary guidelines and health claims development, we propose to conduct a series of systematic reviews and meta-analyses of the effect of plant-based protein in exchange for animal protein on blood lipids, glycemic control, blood pressure, body weight, uric acid, markers of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and kidney function and injury. The systematic review process allows the combining of the results from many small studies in order to arrive at a pooled estimate, similar to a weighted average, of the true effect. The investigators will be able to explore whether the effects of replacing animal-based protein for plant-based protein hold true across different sexes, age groups, and background disease states and whether the effect depends on the protein source, dose, or background diet. The findings of this proposed knowledge synthesis will help improve the health of Canadians through informing recommendations for the general public, as well as those at risk of heart disease and diabetes.

Background Changes in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglyceride levels have been linked to residual cardiovascular risk, whereas non-high density lipoprotein levels have been shown to be more predictive of cardiovascular risk than are low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels. We aimed to investigate the impact of high density lipoproteins, triglyceride, and non-high density lipoproteins levels on acute coronary syndrome risk with on-target low density lipoproteins levels.

This study examines risk factors for type 2 diabetes in children representing multiple discrete ethnic groups. It also examines the short term effects of school-based health education supervised exercise on metabolic risk factors for type 2 diabetes mellitus in children. The investigators hypothesize that exercise and health education will significantly improve insulin sensitivity in all children, especially in children who are already insulin resistant, thereby lowering the risk that they will go on to develop type 2 diabetes mellitus. The specific hypotheses being tested are: Insulin resistance will be most evident in overweight children while an impaired ability of the pancreas to release insulin will be most evident in children with a family history of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Exercise will significantly improve insulin resistance (as measured by the fasting glucose/insulin ratio) with little effect on insulin secretory capacity in children. Participation in a school-based health, nutrition, and exercise education program will have long term beneficial effects on health related behaviors and on insulin resistance in all children, regardless of their level of diabetes risk.
