Active clinical trials for "Heart Diseases"

To investigate the association of selected genetic markers of inflammation and endothelial activation with the occurrence of non-fatal acute myocardial infarction (MI).

To investigate biochemical and genetic markers of inflammation and endothelial dysfunction as determinants of hypertension.

To develop new statistical methods to explore genetic mechanisms that contribute to the development of hypertension.

To investigate the relationship between the use of prescription drugs and the occurrence of ventricular arrhythmia and sudden death.

To investigate genetic markers of coronary heart disease in type 2 diabetes.

To assess genetic variation in 87 different cardiovascular disease candidate genes and to measure the associations of these variants with cardiovascular disease and its risk factors.

The purpose of this study is to examine socio-cultural factors of women's use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). The effects of socioeconomic status, social networks and acculturation on CAM use will be assessed among white, African-, Mexican-, and Chinese-American women.

To investigate a potential relationship between four different classes of non-cardiovascular drugs and the risk of sudden cardiac death.

Hypothesis: Home-based cardiac rehabilitation is as effective as comprehensive centre-based cardiac rehabilitation in patients older than 65 years.

The purpose of this observational protocol is to evaluate the use of everolimus in routine clinical practice for heart transplants. Primary outcome measures: incidence of acute rejection episodes Secondary outcomes: safety
