Perindopril

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.

BPCARE Intervention for High Blood Pressure

18+
All Sexes
San Diego, CA

The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to determine whether a community health worker-delivered, multi-component behavioral intervention can improve antihypertensive medication adherence and blood pressure control among adult refugees with hypertension who are prescribed antihypertensive medications. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does participation in the BPCARE intervention improve antihypertensive medication adherence compared to enhanced usual care? 2. Does participation in the BPCARE intervention improve blood pressure control and persistence over time compared to enhanced usual care? Researchers will compare participants randomized to the BPCARE intervention to those receiving enhanced usual care (hypertension information and a home blood pressure monitor) to determine the effects on medication adherence, blood pressure control, and persistence. Participants will: * Be randomly assigned to either the BPCARE intervention or enhanced usual care * Receive hypertension education and a home blood pressure monitor * Participate in community health worker-delivered sessions that include hypertension and medication education, motivational interviewing, problem-solving, and action planning (intervention arm only) * Complete questionnaires assessing medication adherence and related psychosocial factors * Have blood pressure monitored using connected home blood pressure devices * Complete pill counts to assess medication adherence over a nine-month follow-up period

PILI Pasifika Program for Cardiometabolic Conditions

All Sexes
Fayetteville, AR

In this study, the investigators are testing the effectiveness and implementation of the Community Health Workers (CHW)-delivered PILI Pasifika Program (PPP) Standard Facilitation or Enhanced Facilitation across 3 regions, the U.S. Affiliated Pacific Islands (USAPI), the continental U.S., and Hawai'i, among 600 Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (NHPI) participants in two settings, (clinical and non-clinical) over a 3-year period. The PPP is a 3-month lifestyle intervention that includes a Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) component and was NHPI-adapted from the Diabetes Prevention Program's Lifestyle Program, renamed to the PILI Lifestyle Program (PLP), which demonstrated effectiveness in improving weight, blood pressure, physical activity, and diet among NHPIs. The PPP consists of 8 lifestyle lessons and 4 SDOH activities delivered over a 3-month period. The investigators will conduct an effectiveness-implementation hybrid type 2 trial using a 3 (Region) x 2 (Setting) x 2 (Delivery Mode) factorial design. The long-term objective of this study is threefold: 1. To conduct an effectiveness-implementation hybrid 2 trial to test the effects of the PPP implementation strategies across different settings and modes of delivery among 600 NHPIs at risk for cardiometabolic-related conditions using an NHPI-approved and adapted evaluation framework. The investigators will also assess and compare the cost-effectiveness of the CHW-delivered PPP-Standard Facilitation and PPP-Enhanced Facilitation to support long-term sustainability. 2. To conduct a longitudinal Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) survey embedded within the trial to examine the reliability and validity of indices from 5 adapted SDOH instruments and to assess the associations between SDOH variables and chronic disease risk among NHPIs. 3. To implement and evaluate the contextually-based CHW training program on PPP delivery.

The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does participation increase fruit and vegetable consumption for participants? * Does participation reduce individual and household food insecurity? * Does participation reduce healthcare utilization and associated costs? * Does participation lead to improvements in diet-related health outcomes (e.g., hypertension, diabetes)? * Does participation support the local economy by increasing participant spending at local food vendors? Participants will: * Receive 6 months home delivered produce prescription boxes * Receive 6 months match of produce vouchers * Receive nutrition education and participate in Chronic Disease Self-Management classes

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.

Cuffless PPG Monitor for High Blood Pressure

Miami, FL

This study aims to validate the accuracy and reliability of blood pressure (BP) estimates obtained over 24 hours using a PPG-based chest-patch device compared to the gold standard ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) method using an upper arm cuff-based oscillometric BP device, in both hypertensive and normotensive individuals referred by their provider to undergo a 24-hours ABPM for clinical indication. The Awake/Asleep test, which is the primary test recommended for automated wearable cuffless BP devices that are cuff-calibrated (based on the 2023 European Society of Hypertension (ESH) recommendations for the validation of cuffless blood pressure measuring devices), will be conducted in this study. The secondary aim of the study is to assess the feasibility and convenience of the PPG-based device.
