Aliskiren Plus HCTZ Compared to Aliskiren in Metabolic Syndrome Patients With Stage 2 Systolic Hypertension...
HypertensionThe purpose of the study is to evaluate the blood pressure lowering effect and safety of aliskiren in combination with Hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) compared to aliskiren monotherapy when given to metabolic syndrome patients with stage 2 systolic hypertension (mean sitting systolic blood pressure [msSBP] ≥ 160 mm Hg and < 200 mm Hg).
Effects of Exercise on Arterial Function and Insulin Resistance Syndrome in Pre-pubertal Obese Children...
ObesityThe main purpose of this project is to investigate the effects of an exercise program on arterial function and cardiovascular diseases risk factors in obese and lean pre-pubertal children. This information will be used to underpin prevention strategies to reduce cardiovascular diseases in overweight youth.

Yoga for the Management of HIV-Metabolic Syndromes
HIV InfectionsHIV Metabolic Cardiovascular Syndrome3 moreWe are testing the safety and efficacy of a 16-wk yoga lifestyle intervention on oral glucose tolerance, fasting lipid/lipoprotein levels, body composition, cardiovascular function, quality of life, CD4+ T-cell counts and viral load in HIV-infected men and women with components of The Metabolic Syndrome. We hypothesize that a yoga lifestyle intervention will improve metabolic, anthropometric, cardiovascular disease parameters, and quality of life domains without adversely affecting immune or virologic status in people living with HIV.
