To investigate the effects of 5 days of one legged knee immobilization with or without daily NMES on quadriceps CSA, lean mass and muscle fiber characteristics.
The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of a single bout of NMES on muscle protein synthesis rates in healthy elderly males.
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…
The primary objective of this study is to determine whether ACE inhibition results in an improvement of microvascular glycocalyx-thickness in patients with type 1 diabetes. The secondary objectives are to investigate whether this (hypothesized)…
The present study protocol proposes a novel cGMP Enhancing Therapeutic Strategy (cGETS) to 1) enhance plasma levels of cGMP, 2) to increase cGMP-related control of the myocardial response to low dose dobutamine stress testing, 3) to improve…
To investigate whether twice daily local (calf muscle) NMES attenuates muscle loss during 2 weeks of unilateral ankle immobilization due to an ankle fracture.
To examine the impact of medication induced systolic BP (SBP) reductions >=10 mmHg, while reaching a treatment target of <=140 mmHg, on cerebral blood flow (CBF) in frail elderly with untreated or uncontrolled systolic hypertension at…
To assess the diagnostic performance of PCCT to identify the luminal patency compared with ICA as the reference standard, in patients with a history of PCI with stent placement and to assess image quality by applying different image reconstruction…
