Information on the dynamics and shape of the device and how these change over time will improve our understanding about the fixation of the device, which may help in stent selection and in designing stent grafts that are more durable.
Primary Objective:- To assess lipid levels of STEMI patients over a long course. Secondary Objectives:- To assess the association between poorly controlled cholesterol and (apo) lipoprotein levels for the long term outcome in STEMI patients.- To…
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the effectiveness of renal denervation in lowering blood pressure in patients with therapy-resistant hypertension and end-stage renal disease who are on dialysis or who have a renal transplant.
Is, when EE is kept constant, replacing sitting time by NEA more effective than exercise in improving glucose control in people with DM2?
Examine the impact of 7-day daily ischemic preconditioning on brachial artery endothelial function (measured as FMD%) in the dominant arm (i.e. local effect: primary objective) and contra-lateral arm (i.e. remote effect: secondary objective) in…
To examine the impact of age and physical fitness on the ability of ischaemic preconditioning to protect endothelial damage in response to ischaemia reperfusion injury in healthy humans. A secondary objective is to explore the role of Toll-like…
The objective of the study is to compare the effects of homogenized, unhomogenized and skimmed milk with butter on postprandial metabolism in healthy overweight men.
1. To investigate the presence of risk factors for CVD (i.e. overweight/ obesity, hypertension, diabetes and dyslipidemia,) among the Ghanaian population in Amsterdam.a) To investigate levels of detection, treatment and control of hypertension among…
To prove that lymph vessels in the legs can be visualized with methylene blue, so they can be spared during surgery, what possibly may lead to decreased postoperative lymph edema.Hypothesis: Methylene blue visualizes lymph vessels in the legs, so…
The possibility to identify the risk of rupture of a carotid plaque will have tremendous impact in clinical decision making. Selection of candidates from surgery is based mainly on duplex ultrasonography, where now only the size of the stenosis is…
The primary objective of this study is to examine the determinants of health behavior intentions and changes in patients with TIA or ischemic stroke, and the effects of age, sex, and cognitive and functional status on these determinants as well as…
Effect of SCS on CBF
to explore the effect of sodium intake on the coffee-induced increase in blood pressure
The purpose of the proposed study is to investigate the anti-Xa levels of enoxaparin in patients after bariatric surgery and to correlate these with actual body weight.
In the present project we aim to develop a first working platform for interactive, home-based blood pressure screening and monitoring by using internet and smartphone technology in middle-aged offspring of patients with dementia.
Our main objective is to determine the effect of HO-1 induction by heme arginate infusion on insulin resistance and endothelial dysfunction related to MetS. Secondary objectives are to determine the effect on adipose tissue, adiponectin plasma level…
Currently, no established risk factor profile for developing arterial cardiovascular events after an acute unprovoked PE exists and is carried out in general practice. The aim of our project is to prospectively study the relation between presence…
The primary objective of the study is to determine the rate of majorbleeding events in cancer subjects receiving extended treatment withdalteparin (> 6 months and up to 12 months) for prevention ofrecurrent symptomatic venous thromboembolism…
In this trial, current usual care concerning cardiovascular education is described. Second aim is to study what is understood of this education by the patient. Last aim is to study what effect training of GP's on this subject will have on the…
The objective is to study whether saturated fatty acids induce a different postprandial change in inflammatory markers than cis-polyunsaturated fatty acids.
