Chronic Stress as a Risk Factor in the Etiology of Coronary Heart Disease Clinical Trials References presented on Clinical Trials Search isn't meant to be a substitute for proven healthcare advice, trips or professional assistance using a genuine physician. We are not docs. Always confer with your physician about Chronic Stress as a Risk Factor in the Etiology of Coronary Heart Disease conditions. Clinical Trials Search.org is a site devoted to listing clinical research studies in human subjects. Chronic Stress as a Risk Factor in the Etiology of Coronary Heart Disease Clinical research trials and Chronic Stress as a Risk Factor in the Etiology of Coronary Heart Disease healthcare trials happen in hundreds of localities throughout the United States of America. A clinical trial or clinical study is a research project with human volunteer subjects. Clinical drug trials and pharmaceutical clinical trials usually evaluate the potency of new drugs. The propose of the studies / projects is to answer particular human health questions. Clinical trials are a popular way for mDs, government agencies, and private sector companies to detect cures for all sorts of conditions, such as Chronic Stress as a Risk Factor in the Etiology of Coronary Heart Disease. Chronic Stress as a Risk Factor in the Etiology of Coronary Heart Disease Clinical Trials and other clinical trials allow volunteers to acquire healthcare treatment choices before they are available to the general public. Some times the subjects recieve professional assistance for free, and every now and again they are compensated for their time. Sometimes there is a cost for a Chronic Stress as a Risk Factor in the Etiology of Coronary Heart Disease clinical trial. Subjects frequently obtain the most expert healthcare possible for their Chronic Stress as a Risk Factor in the Etiology of Coronary Heart Disease condition. Risks are a reality, nevertheless, and can include more or frequent doctor trips, medical risks (possibly life-threatening), and/or the treatment being uneffective. Trials are federally governed with stern guidelines to protect clinical trials patients.

Chronic Stress as a Risk Factor in the Etiology of Coronary Heart Disease



Chronic Stress as a Risk Factor in the Etiology of Coronary Heart Disease

For Condition: Coronary Disease,Heart Diseases,Cardiovascular Diseases
Status: Completed
Sponsor(s): National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) ,
Synopsis: To conduct a prospective, longitudinal, analysis of the psychophysiological effects of chronic exposure to environmental stress. The study took advantage of a unique, naturally occurring experiment caused by the relocation of a major international airport.
Details: DESIGN NARRATIVE: Studies were conducted on blood pressure and the neuroendocrine effects of noise resulting from the relocation of the Munich International Airport. At the former airport site the investigators monitored people exposed to high levels of noise and then tracked these same individuals as their ambient environment became normal following the shutdown of the airport. At the new airport site, the opposite situation occurred: Individuals living in normal, quiet ambient conditions became exposed to loud aircraft noise. At both sites, control groups were formed who were not exposed to aircraft noise. The study piggybacked onto a German sponsored grant. NIH funds covered the costs of cardiovascular and psycho-physiological data analysis. Measures included biochemical assays of chronic neuroendocrine markers of stress, resting blood pressure, and reactivity of blood pressure during cognitive tasks. Perceptions of community noise levels were also assessed as possible mediators of the stressful effects of chronic exposure to ambient, environmental noise.
