To compare the blood pressure lowering effect of thiazides against calcium channel blockers in CNI-induced hypertension.
Primary1. To determine whether treatment with an aliskiren-based regimen (in part combined with amlodipine or hydrochlorothiazide) compared to a non-aliskiren based regimen, both on top of non-study BP lowering agents where applicable, reduces the…
Primary objective:To assess and compare the effects of aliskiren/amlodipine and amlodipine on pedal edema after 4 weeks of treatment as measured by ankle foot volume (AFV) (water displacement method) in patients with mild to moderate hypertension.…
To compare the blood pressure lowering effect of thiazides against calcium channel blockers in CNI-induced hypertension.
Main objective: * To evaluate the effect and variation of 3 and 12 months treatment with Aliskeren-based versus amlodipine-based antihypertensive treatment on aneurismal FDG- uptakeExploratory objectives: * To explore the effect of 3 and 12 months…
The primary objective is to continue to assess the long term safety of the CardioKinetix Parachute Implant System in the partitioning of the leftventricle in patients with heart failure due to ischemic heart disease.
Primary objective:To test the hypothesis that the calcium channel blocker amlodipine has a superior beneficial effect on cerebrovascular reactivity in patients with symptomatic SVDs when compared to either the Angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) receptor…
The objective of this study is to evaluate [11C]MeDAS PET as a quantitative method for assessment of changes in myelin density over time and thus the efficacy of [11C]MeDAS PET to image myelin degradation and repair.
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…
