The FLAVO-II study will be conducted as a three-armed, randomized, cross-over intervention trial aimed at comparing the effects of chocolate and pure epicatechin on vascular function.
The goal of this study is to prove whether kidney transplant recipients can reduce their risk of cardiovascular disease bij converting to Nulojix.
To investigate whether an interactive internet-based intervention strategy targeting vascular and lifestyle-related risk factors can lead to improvement of cardiovascular risk profile and prevention of cardiovascular disease and whether this in turn…
- To elucidate whether simultaneous measurement of brachial BP may improve the accuracy of assessment of interarm BP differences compared with sequential interarm BP assessment
The FLAVO-studie is a scientific study aimed at investgating if (and how) certain pure flavonoids can beneficially influence vascular function.
The prime objective of the IMPROvED project is to develop a clinically robust predictive blood test for pre-eclampsia, using innovative technologies and utilising novel metabolite and protein biomarkers. This blood test is targeted to all first time…
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.
To study the effects of flaxseed oil, rich in ALA on 24h-ambulatory mean arterial pressure (MAP) in men and women with high-normal blood pressure and mild hypertension compared to high oleic sunflower oil, poor in ALA.
Answering the question about the influence of ageing on the relationship between systemic flow and pressure on the one hand and cerebral perfusion on the other hand.
To compare the blood pressure lowering effect of thiazides against calcium channel blockers in CNI-induced hypertension.
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…
Here we propose to perform a prospective, randomized, multicenter study that compares effectiveness of AVS with effectiveness of CT-scanning for the diagnosis of PA subtype. There is no criterion standard for accuracy of the diagnosis of PA-subtype…
The primary objective is to determine the effect of (1) increased sodium intake and (2) increased potassium intake on flow-mediated dilation (FMD) and systolic blood pressure (SBP) in untreated (pre)hypertensive subjects
For pregnant women with non-severe non-proteinuric maternal hypertension at 14-33 weeks, will *less tight* control (target dBP of 100mmHg) vs. *tight* control (target dBP of 85mmHg) increase or decrease the likelihood of pregnancy loss or neonatal…

Primary aim of the study is to investigate if motivational interviewing can be an effective way to motivate en stimulate patients with recent TIA or ischemic stroke to change their lifestyle and maintain this healthy lifestyle. Moreover we will…
The general aim of this project is to evaluate the effectiveness, safety and costs of a medication withdrawal policy compared to usual care in general practice in patients who are currently treated for hypertension and/or hypercholesterolemia, but…
This study has two principal aims. The first aim is to establish the relation between the auto-cuff response and target organ damage defined as difference in microalbumin/creatinin ratio. The second aim is to assess the difference in BP between…
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…
In this study our overall aim is to more precisely determine which patients will benefit most from RSD by evaluating both outcome predictors and auxiliary effects (insulin sensitivity, central haemodynamics and inflammation) of this new intervention…
