Ramipril

Summary: Heart failure (HF) is a chronic condition that is characterized by a weakened and enlarged heart. It typically causes symptoms such as breathlessness and swelling of the legs, and it is a serious illness that shortens life expectancy. In recent years, new medicines have been developed that can improve heart function and help patients with HF live longer. HF patients with reduced heart function typ...

Summary: The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the short-term effects of three commonly prescribed antihypertensive drug classes (beta-blockers, ACE inhibitors, and calcium channel blockers) on postural balance and fall risk in adults with newly diagnosed primary hypertension. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Do different antihypertensive drugs affect objective balance performance and fa...

Summary: This study compares the effects of once-daily versus twice-daily ramipril dosing on renal function in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Outcomes include changes in plasma renin activity, malondialdehyde, interleukin-6, albuminuria, and cystatin C after 30 days of therapy.

Summary: Open-label, randomized, cross-over study conducted in a single center, applied to patients receiving a polypill with 100 mg of acetyl salicylic acid and different doses of ramipril and atorvastatin for indication of secondary prevention according to clinical practice, with objective of analyzing the level of systolic blood pressure and LDL-cholesterol in the same patient in 2 different periods: on...

Summary: The objective of this trial is to examine the effect of immediate versus late administration of beta blockers, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI), and sodium/glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors on echocardiographic parameters and biomarkers in subjects with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI)

Summary: This randomized placebo controlled double blind parallel clinical study will be conducted on 44 non-dialysis chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients (Stages 2-3b).Clinical Study Evaluating the Role of Vitamin K2 as Adjuvant Therapy to Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Inhibitor on Blood Pressure, Proteinuria and Bone Metabolism in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease. Patients will be recruited from, In...

Summary: This randomized placebo controlled double blind parallel clinical study will be conducted on 44 non-dialysis chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients (Stages 2-3b).Clinical Study Evaluating the Role of Coenzyme Q10 as Adjuvant Therapy to Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Inhibitor on Blood Pressure, Proteinuria and Bone Metabolism in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease. Patients will be recruited from, ...

Summary: Changes to gastric pH, gastric emptying time, gastrointestinal transit-time or the pre-systemic metabolizing effect of enzymes secreted in the mucosa may all alter the pharmacokinetics of medicines. These factors are potentially influenced by bariatric surgery. Little is so far known about how gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy impacts the biological availability of medication. In this study we...

Summary: Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a manifestation of atherosclerosis that produces progressive narrowing and occlusion of the arteries supplying the lower extremities. The most common clinical manifestation of PAD is claudication, i.e., a severe functional limitation identified as gait dysfunction and walking-induced leg muscle pain relieved by rest. The standard therapies for claudication includ...

Summary: Repaired Tetralogy of Fallot (rTOF) is the leading cause of congenital cyanotic heart disease worldwide, involving up to 7-10% of congenital heart disease. With advances in open-heart surgical repair techniques and medical therapies, there is a significant increase in patients with rTOF surviving till late adulthood. One sequalae that nearly all rTOF patients develop during their lifetime is signi...

Summary: The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of sacubitril/valsartan on cardiac function assessed by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) in hypertensive patients stratified by BMI.

Summary: Heart failure with moderately reduced ejection fraction (HFmrEF) is a frequent disease associated with significant morbidity and mortality and therefore requires effective therapies that may improve clinical outcomes. The most common reason of HFmrEF is ischemic injury, usually caused by myocardial infarction, that may lead to left ventricular remodeling and systolic dysfunction, accompanied by sy...
