Perindopril

The Generic name of this drug

Treatment Summary

Perindopril is a medication used to lower blood pressure and reduce cardiovascular risk in people with hypertension or coronary heart disease. It belongs to a class of drugs called angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors. Perindopril is taken orally and is quickly converted to its active metabolite, perindoprilat, which works by blocking the enzyme responsible for converting angiotensin I to angiotensin II. By blocking this enzyme, Perindopril helps to regulate blood pressure and maintain a healthy balance of hormones in the body.

Effectiveness

How Aceon Affects Patients

Perindopril is a drug that works by blocking the enzyme (angiotensin II) and hormone system (renin angiotensin aldosterone system, or RAAS) that regulates blood pressure and water balance in the body. It works by inhibiting the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II, which has numerous effects on the body including increasing blood pressure, increasing sodium and water reabsorption from the kidneys, stimulating the secretion of vasopressin, and inducing thirst. Additionally, it prevents the breakdown of bradykinin, a vasodilator which helps further reduce blood

How Aceon works in the body

ACE inhibitors work by blocking an enzyme called ACE. This enzyme has two parts, called N and C domains, which have similar roles. The C domain is mainly responsible for controlling blood pressure, and the N domain helps with stem cell development. Perindopril, the active form of ACE inhibitor, stops ACE from binding to another protein, called ATI. This lowers the amount of ATI in the body, which in turn lowers blood pressure. Perindopril also increases the amount of renin in the body, which can help to regulate blood pressure.

Aceon for High Blood Pressure

I've been using Aceon for over five years and it's always kept my blood pressure at a healthy level. The only downside is that I sometimes cough while taking it, but that's not enough to deter me from using this great medication.

I had no problems with the medication. However, I was informed by the pharmacist that it is no longer available. I was switched to Lisinopril and it has been just as effective in controlling my hypertension.

Aceon for High Blood Pressure

I'm pretty sure I'm taking the generic form, and it has made me gain a lot of weight. 10 lbs in 6 months, then 8 lbs in 6 months. I've always been a size 8, sometimes size 6 and now I am wearing 10s and 12s...what is going on?????

Aceon for High Blood Pressure

I've been taking the generic form of Aceon for insurance purposes, and I'm certain that it's the reason I've gained nearly 20 pounds. This is easily the most weight I've ever carried (aside from when I was 9 months pregnant). My clothes don't fit me anymore, which is really distressing. If Aceon is going to continue causing these sorts of problems, then I'll need to look into an alternative medication for my high blood pressure.

Food is Medicine for High Blood Pressure and Obesity

Any Age
All Sexes
Chicago, IL

The goal of this clinical trial is to treat both hypertension and obesity in adults using a food is medicine framework. Participants will be randomized 1:1 to FIM+DASH or usual-care control. The 24-week trial includes a 12-week FIM+DASH intervention followed by a 12-week maintenance period and leverages existing partnerships with community-based organizations for home food delivery and culinary skill-skill building. The main questions it aims to answer are: (1) What is the effect of FIM+DASH vs. usual care control on blood pressure? (2) What is the effect of FIM+DASH vs. usual care control on DASH diet adherence (diet quality), body weight, and waist circumference? (3) How to identify factors associated with the sustainability and scalability of FIM+DASH in real-world settings?

Rosuvastatin for Cancer-Associated Blood Clots

18+
All Sexes
Boston, MA

Patients with cancer are at high risk for life-threatening venous thromboembolism (VTE) yet rarely receive anticoagulant prophylaxis due to bleeding risks. Thus, effective prophylaxis in oncology requires a method to reduce VTE without increasing hemorrhage. The primary aim of the Statin Therapy to Prevent Cancer Associated Venous Thromboembolism (STAT-CAT) trial is to test whether rosuvastatin 20 mg daily for 12 months compared to placebo can safely prevent VTE in patients with newly diagnosed or recently relapsed cancer who are at increased thrombotic risk, are not planned to be anticoagulated, and who do not otherwise take statin therapy.

Consent Approaches for Heart Disease Rehabilitation

18+
All Sexes
Springfield, MA

Cardiac Rehabilitation is a lifestyle and exercise program for patients with heart disease. Cardiac Rehabilitation is strongly recommended in guidelines, but only 30% of eligible patients attend. New strategies are needed to help more patients attend cardiac rehabilitation. In this study, the investigators will see if using an $50 incentive, case management, text messages, and physical activity coaching combined into a single intervention will help more patients attend cardiac rehabilitation. In preparation for a larger trial, patients will also be randomly assigned to four different ways of seeking their permission to be in a research study. The investigators will see if these approaches affect how many people participate in the research project. The two main goals of this study is to understand: 1. If the consent approach type impacts participation rates in the research study 2. If the multi-component intervention (case management, financial incentives, text messages, and physical activity coaching) improves cardiac rehabilitation participation within 3 months.

Dietary Interventions for Hypertension

18+
All Sexes
Birmingham, AL

Natriuretic peptides (NPs) are hormones produced by the heart and play an important role in maintaining cardiovascular health and have favorable metabolic benefits. Low NP levels are associated with an increased likelihood of the development of cardiometabolic diseases like diabetes and hypertension. NP levels are known to be highly heritable, with up to half of the differences in NP levels being explained by genetics. The investigators aim to describe the genetic architecture of NPs by examining the genetic variants associated with NPs, and generate and validate a polygenic score (PGS) for NPs. The investigators will use this NP PGS to examine the association of genetically determined NP levels with cardiometabolic and cardiovascular outcomes. The investigators will conduct a genotype-guided physiological clinical trial that aims to assess the genetic factors affecting NP levels and their impact on blood pressure and NP response to saline infusion, high-salt diet, and low-salt diet. These findings will help support personal medicine approaches to lower the increasing burden of hypertension in the United States.
