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…
The goal of this study is to prove whether kidney transplant recipients can reduce their risk of cardiovascular disease bij converting to Nulojix.
We propose a 2-week randomized controlled, single-blinded pilot study to compare the health effects of a Paleolithic diet and an isocaloric reference diet (based on the *Guidelines for a healthy diet 2006*) on markers of the MetS which are risk…
The primary objective is to investigate if there are differences in the acute postprandial vasodilating effect between different protein sources and if these differences are associated with differences in the responses of vasodilating factors.…
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…
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…
a. To study whether a specific set of biomarkers is associated with PE with DVb. To study whether a specific set of biomarkers is predictive of PE with DV.
The primary objective is to investigate if a salt-reduced diet leads to an increased reward response when exposed to lower salt concentrations in food.
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.
Primary1. To determine whether treatment with an aliskiren-based regimen (in part combined with amlodipine or hydrochlorothiazide) compared to a non-aliskiren based regimen, both on top of non-study BP lowering agents where applicable, reduces the…
The results of this study will give better insights in the role of ADMA in the development of systemicendothelial dysfunction and the relation with mild renal insufficiency.
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…
To compare the blood pressure lowering effect of thiazides against calcium channel blockers in CNI-induced hypertension.
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.
The FLAVO-studie is a scientific study aimed at investgating if (and how) certain pure flavonoids can beneficially influence vascular function.
to explore the effect of sodium intake on the coffee-induced increase in blood pressure
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 test the hypothesis whether treatment with an ACE inhibitor in young prehypertensive adults reduces blood pressure 2 years after cessation of active treatment and to determine whether this treatment can reduce left ventricular mass and…
To develop an effective lifestyle intervention for cardiac patients based on self-regulation theory aimed at health behavior change and maintenance.
