Arteriosclerosis disorder

This trial tests whether specially made cookies containing pumpkin seeds and walnuts can improve cholesterol levels in adults with atherosclerosis. For six weeks, one group eats a daily cookie while the other receives usual care alone. Researchers measure changes in LDL and HDL c…

This study looks at whether adding lower-body electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) to resistance training helps postmenopausal women more than exercise alone. After menopause, women face higher risks of muscle loss and stiff arteries. The trial will compare three groups: EMS plus …

This study looked at whether different types of exercise—aerobic, resistance, or a mix—can reduce the risk of hardening of the arteries in postmenopausal women who don't exercise. 113 women participated, and researchers measured changes in blood vessel health and blood pressure. …

This study screened 316 people with type 2 diabetes who were at high risk for heart disease. Researchers tested whether adding the drug liraglutide to standard care could reduce new heart problems like heart attacks, strokes, and hospitalizations. The goal was to see if this appr…

This study looked at how well the ELUVIA drug-coated stent works in real-world patients with blocked arteries in the thigh or knee area. A total of 291 adults received the stent and were followed for two years. The main goal was to see if their quality of life and walking ability…

This study tested a very small balloon catheter (Sapphire 3) in 170 people with severely blocked heart arteries (chronic total occlusions). The balloon was used to open the blockage before placing a stent. The main goal was to see if the device could be safely delivered, inflated…

This completed trial tested whether taking two blood thinners (clopidogrel and aspirin) for 12 months after a heart stent procedure is better than aspirin alone for people with multiple blocked coronary arteries. Over 8,000 patients were enrolled across 100 centers. The main goal…

This study tested whether injecting donor stem cells into the leg muscles before amputation could prevent wound problems and reduce the need for more amputations. 81 people scheduled for leg amputation due to poor blood flow took part. The main goal was to check safety, not yet t…

This study tests whether a simpler device called pOpmètre can accurately measure arterial stiffness in children aged 4 to 8. Arterial stiffness is an important sign of heart and blood vessel health. The standard device, Sphygmocor, is harder to use in children. If pOpmètre works …

This completed study looked at how much radiation people receive during heart CT scans (CCTA) in everyday hospital practice. Researchers enrolled 66 adults who needed a heart CT and recorded the radiation dose used, along with any dose-saving techniques. The goal was to understan…
