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…
The main purpose of this trial is to find out if an investigational drug called setmelanotide (RM-493), which mimics MSH, can help control body weight. The efficacy of setmelanotide will be compared to the efficacy of a placebo during 4 to 8 weeks.
To evaluate the efficacy of setmelanotide on changes in body weight.
Primary:• To evaluate the proportion of patients with obesity with genetic variants in a specific gene in the melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R) pathway who achieve a clinically meaningful reduction in body weight in response to setmelanotide at the end…
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…
In this prospective observational data-collection study with retrospective data analysis, 80 subjects, who have been admitted at the UMC Utrecht because of a surgery, will be recruited at the pre-operative screening clinic before surgery. Prior to…
The primary objective is to evaluate the accuracy of the SpO2 measurements by the ViQtor compared to matched SaO2 measurements obtained during a hypoxic measurements to obtain the root mean square (ARMS) for a range of skin types defined by…
