Detailed Description: EXTRAVIRGIN OLIVE OIL CORATINA INTERVENTION ON LIPIDS IN NON-DIABETIC HYPERTENSIVE (H) PATIENTS WITH HYPERLIPIDEMIA (H)UNDERGOING PERIODIC HEMODIALYSIS (H) (EVOOC-3H) INTRODUCTION What is known. The primary causes of death in patients undergoing chronic hemodialysis (HD) are

Presently in Canada, 29% of deaths are due to cardiovascular disease (CVD), costing $20.9 billion annually. The investigators have, therefore, brought together an unique network of investigators at different stages in their careers with a range of disciplines (nutrition, cardiology, diabetes,

There is a major need for a large RCT to demonstrate the effect of lifestyle modification (diet and exercise) on cardiovascular disease (CVD) outcomes. The pilot study will demonstrate the feasibility as a prerequisite for continuing on to the large RCT. Large RCT: This trial will test the effect of

The BALANCE Program will investigate the effect of the Program in reducing cardiovascular events, such as cardiac arrest, acute myocardial infarction, stroke, myocardial revascularization, amputation for peripheral arterial disease, hospitalization for unstable angina, or death in patients with

Background Cardiovascular diseases belong to the major causes of mortality in western populations. Atherosclerosis of arterial system may result in ischemic heart disease (IHD) and peripheral artery disease with possible fatal consequences such as acute myocardial infarction and

Randomized clinical trial involving 1002 patients with coronary disease that are undergoing one of two diets in a randomized design (two groups; Mediterranean Diet 502 patients, Low Fat 500 patients) for 7 years. The two diets are: a)Low fat diet: <30% fat (12-14% monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA);

Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) have a 2 to 5-fold increase in cardiovascular mortality compared to non-diabetics. Endothelial dysfunction (ED) is an early messenger of atherosclerosis and is present in states showing a high cardiovascular (CV) risk, such as active and passive smoking,

BACKGROUND: More than one-third of patients with coronary disease have "low" high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDLc) levels (less than 35 mg/dl; United States 20th percentile) and "normal" low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDLc) (less than 145; United States mean), a group for whom current
