Factors and Prognostic Significance of Impaired Exercise Tolerance in Women Over 40 With Arterial...
Arterial HypertensionHeart FailureThe subject of the study is evaluation of factors affecting to exercise intolerance in spiroergometry in women over 40 years of age with hypertension and association and relationship between the parameters of physical performance and prognosis in this group of patients.

MediBeat - HeartBeat Observation Trial
Low Blood PressureBlood Pressure3 moreThe goal of the study was to compare the current gold standard blood pressure instrument (a mercury-filled sphygmomanometer with cuff and stethoscope) with the new experimental algorithm developed by HeartBeat Technologies Ltd. To that end, participants were recruited from Markham, Ontario and participated in a series of alternating blood pressure measurements over a period of 45 minutes. Comparisons were made between manual measurements and device measurements to determine the quality of the device readings. Measurements were taken by trained nurses and staff were consistent across the study duration.

Post-marketing Surveillance for Hypertensive Patients With Diabetes and/or Chronic Kidney Disease...
HypertensionThis study is a post-marketing surveillance in Japan, and it is a local prospective, company sponsored and observational study of patient who have been treated by Adalat CR for hypertension with diabetes and/or chronic kidney disease. The objective of this study is to assess safety and efficacy profile of using Adalat CR in real clinical practice. A total 2,000 patients will be recruited and be observed for 6 months. Then, patient of whom microalbumin urea and serum creatinine are continuously monitored are additionally followed for 6 months.

Pilot Chart Review Study Of Sitaxentan Sodium (Thelin) In Patients With Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension...
Pulmonary Arterial HypertensionThe objectives of this study are to develop research methods and corresponding materials for a study of the effectiveness of sitaxentan sodium (Thelin) in "real-world" settings; to pilot test these methods at three study centers in Europe; and to refine and finalize research methods and corresponding materials for possible use in a follow-on, full-scale examination of the effectiveness of sitaxentan sodium (Thelin) in "real-world" settings.

Real-world Aliskiren Use in Diabetic Patients
DiabetesHypertensionThe purpose of this study is to evaluate real-world patterns of aliskiren use with a focus of change in renal function following aliskiren initiation as well as to identify "triggering events" that lead to aliskiren initiation.

Evaluation of Pulmonary Perfusion Heterogeneity and Compliance in Patients With Pulmonary Hypertension...
Pulmonary Arterial HypertensionThe purpose of the study is to find out how the blood flow changes in the lungs of people with pulmonary hypertension compared to healthy individuals without pulmonary hypertension. We would like to find out if there are differences in how blood flows when subjects are given a drug to dilate (widen) the arteries in their lungs and when they breathe extra oxygen. We will compare the results to when subjects don't receive any drug or extra oxygen. We hope that knowing about these differences will help us to better understand pulmonary hypertension and how to diagnose it earlier.

Registry for Ambulant Therapy With RAS-Inhibitors in Hypertension-patients in Germany
Arterial HypertensionIn Germany nearly half of the population present elevated values of blood pressure, with - as a result of lifestyle factors and a growing average age - further increasing numbers. Consequences of arterial hypertension may be cardiovascular diseases, cerebrovascular events, and renal insufficiency. Thus, hypertension therapy focuses on the reduction of these complications. The aims of the 3A-registry are the characterization of outpatients with hypertension, their diagnostic procedures and medical treatment (esp. with renin inhibitors), therapy compliance and success, clinical events, and an assessment of overall guideline adherence in the treatment of these patients. Patients fulfilling the relevant criteria are enrolled and followed up by their general practitioner or medical specialist.
