Exercise testing by Active Pedal Plantar flexion: The investigators plan to collect 140 cases: 1. Healthy subjects with no apparent atherosclerotic risk [< 65 y/o, no diabetic mellitus (DM), no hypertension, or no hyperlipidemia, not obese, not current smoker, no smoking history >10 years] 4(n=5) 2.

THE AIM The objective of this study is to: Study I: Compare the prevalence and complexity of coronary plaques in patients with newly discovered type-2 diabetes with a healthy control group matched for age and gender, as evaluated by coronary computed tomography angiography. Study II: Describe the

Population Subjects volunteered to participate the study will be all enrolled into the study. The study is designed to enroll subjects from two ethnic groups in the local population, namely She Minority and Han nationality. All participants will be asked to sign a written informed consent and the

The number of patients receiving Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) is rapidly increasing in China. In 2013, about 450,000 Chinese patients received PCI, most of whom suffered from coronary heart disease (CHD), especially acute coronary syndrome (ACS). ACS is associated with an increased risk

At the screening visit, patients who fulfilled the entrance criteria and had given written informed consent entered a placebo running period where they discontinued antihypertensive medication for two weeks. During that period, Adalat 5mg could be given for emergency. At the end of placebo running

Commonly consumed vegetable fats and oils are comprised predominantly of TAG, and small amounts of DAG and monoacylglycerol. TAG consists of 3 fatty acid ester, whereas diacylglycerol oil has 2 fatty acid esters linked to a glycerol backbone. Recently, Watanabe et al., developed a process by which

Dyslipidemias are a group of metabolic disorders produced by raised concentrations of lipoproteins, especially low-density lipoprotein cholesterol the lipoprotein that transports endogenous cholesterol from the liver to the peripheral tissues. Increased cholesterol and triglyceride levels lead to an

2.Design This is a randomised, placebo-controlled, double-blinded, multicenter centre study.The patients' clinical data will be recorded on case report forms (CRF). 3.Aim of the study To evaluate the efficacy of Pioglitazone (30 mg/daily) therapy on in-stent late luminal loss in T2DM patients

FULL PROTOCOL 1.0 SYNOPSIS The primary objective of this randomized, double blind, placebo controlled pilot study is to determine if therapies aimed at lowering LDL cholesterol (HMGCoA reductase inhibitor - simvastatin) or increasing HDL cholesterol (Niaspan) will induce regression of carotid

Results from recent studies show increasing numbers of Ischemic Heart Disease (IHD) incidents among patients on HAART treatment (Highly Active Antiviral Therapy). Three elements have received special attention: 1. the immunodeficient effects of the HIV infection itself may influence the progression

In humans, cholesterol is acquired from dietary sources and is produced de novo in the liver, intestine, and various other tissues. Normally, the balance among cholesterol synthesis, dietary intake, and degradation is adequate to maintain healthy cholesterol plasma levels; however, in subjects with

BACKGROUND: Longitudinal studies of coronary risk factors beginning in subjects at adult age have shown that hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, and obesity are related to the risk of coronary artery disease and stroke. The Framingham Study has shown, in adults over 30 years of age, a positive

BACKGROUND: Coronary artery disease appears to be a consequence of the interaction between an individual's genotype and exposure to environmental factors. Genetic information has the potential to contribute to the identification of families and individuals with a biological predisposition for
