Active clinical trials for "Heart Diseases"

To examine the role of dietary antioxidants in the etiology of atherosclerosis in both sexes and in whites and Blacks.

To analyze data collected over a four year period on an initial cohort of 3 or 4 year old children and their parents in Galveston, Texas, and in Augusta, GA, in regard to cardiovascular disease (CVD) physical risk factors and risk related behaviors.

To use data from the Epidemiologic Follow-up Study of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) to develop models to predict morbidity and mortality as a function of risk factors for coronary artery disease. Bivariate dependent survival distributions were examined.

To study longitudinally the incidence, pathogenesis, and risk factors for thrombotic events and coronary artery disease in a cohort of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).

To investigate familial patterns of hypertension and related cardiovascular (CV) risk factors in the United States and Nigeria.

To develop TI (pronounced 'T-sub-I'), a personal computer program to analyze time-varying data generated by periodic patient reports, repeatedly-observed disease signs, or serial biomarkers to study chronic disease.

To examine a school-based population of children for maturational changes in blood pressure and cardiac structures.

To evaluate the hypothesis that chronic anxiety and/or anxiety disorders resulted in hyperkinetic cardiovascular autonomic regulation, often associated with increased coronary risk.

To elucidate the influence of ethnicity and socioeconomic status (SES) on women's cardiovascular health, using recently completed risk factor and mortality data from the Stanford Five-City Project.

To elucidate the changes in body size, composition, and configuration occurring in adolescence, because these are important precursors of change in blood pressure and blood lipids.
