Some studies have reported improved vascular function with the supplementation of L-arginine in participants with CVD. Several clinical studies have also begun the investigation of L-arginine supplementation in participants with PAD. This is…
This research will have as aim to look at progression or decrease of vascular calcification in dialysis population with use of different phosphate binders. There is a possibility that differect phosphate binders bind vitamin K in a different way in…
The first objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of standard HD with different dialysate calcium concentrations as well as HD combined with citrate-acid dialysate on the clearance of CPPs and second the effect of these different solutions…
1. To assess the effect of the switch from protease inhibitors to raltegravir on endothelial function. 2. To assess the effect of the intervention mentioned above on markers of endothelial function; immune activation; chronic inflammation; and, on…
The aim of the study is to measure whether there is a difference in LDL cholesterol levels or the 24 hour ambulatory blood pressure in individuals at high risk of cardiovascular disease when the polypill is taken in the morning compared with the…
The primary aim of the trial is to assess what the optimal treatment regimen for acetylsalicylic acid, a statin and two BP-lowering agents is (administered as in regular care in individual agents, a fixed-dose combination pill administered in the…
To study the effect of 80 mg aspirin intake at bedtime compared with 80 mg aspirin intake on awakening on circadian rhythm of platelet function in healthy subjects.
Primary:to evaluate the effects of a moderate CYP3A4/5 inhibitor, diltiazem on the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics (Thrombin and TRAP-induced platelet aggregation) of the study drug and its known metabolitessecundary:to evaluate the effects of…
The aim of the study is to demonstrate a basic mechanism that supports our hypothesis: Does increased respiratory function after administration of a bronchodilator in patients with COPD lead to elevated pulmonary retention of the harmful compounds…
Primary Objective: To determine whether a four week treatment with vildagliptin compared to acarbose improves endothelial dysfunction in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.Secondary Objective(s):-To determine the effect of vildagliptin on plasma…
The objective of the study is to see whether oral administration of probiotics can modulate certain immunological markers which are associated with accelarated atherosclerosis in patients with ANCA associated vasculitis.
The purpose of this project is to explore whether a short treatment with dipyridamole (2.5 days; i.e. 5 capsules) can reduce ischemia-reperfusion injury in the forearm.

The primary objective of this study is to determine whether ACE inhibition results in an improvement of microvascular glycocalyx-thickness in patients with type 1 diabetes. The secondary objectives are to investigate whether this (hypothesized)…
To evaluate the effect of 12 weeks subcutaneous evolocumab (140 mg pre-filled pen every 2 weeks) compared to placebo on post fat load non-HDL-C levels in 30 subjects with FD, in a multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, crossover…
The objective of this study is to demonstrate the superiority of Distal Transradial Access (DTRA) to Conventional Transradial Access (CTRA) regarding forearm radial artery occlusion (RAO) using the 6Fr Glidesheath Slender (GSS).
Despite multifactorial treatment approaches residual risk for the development and progression of DKD remains high and novel therapies to halt renal burden in T2DM are urgently needed. SGLT-2 inhibitors are a relatively recent additions to the…
Investigate the effects of 7 (+-1) days of of mono- and combination therapy with the SGLT2 inhibitor empagliflozin (10 mg QD) and RAS inhibitor losartan (50 mg QD) on renal hemodynamics, (glomerular filtration rate (GFR) / effective renal plasma…
To explore the effect of single versus repeated preconditioning on circulating blood factors (i.e. metabolomics analysis) as a likely mechanism in patients with cSVD. Secondly, we explore whether the effects of single versus repeated preconditioning…
To assess changes in inflammatory cytokine release of monocytes and neutrophils stimulated with MSU crystals, isolated from patients with chronic coronary artery disease after colchicine 0.5mg daily during one month, compared to no colchicine…
