U-CHAMP: Urban Calgary Cardiovascular Health Assessment and Management Program
This study is currently recruiting participants.
Verified by University of Calgary, September 2008
Sponsors and Collaborators: University of Calgary
Heart and Stroke Foundation of Ontario
Information provided by: University of Calgary
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00626041
  Purpose

High blood pressure, elevated blood glucose and high cholesterol are related to the increased risk of stroke and heart disease. Many studies have shown that this risk can be significantly reduced by lowering blood pressure, blood glucose and cholesterol levels.

Through a collaborative effort between Calgary Safeway and Co-op pharmacists, the Calgary Health Region family physicians, and the Calgary Health Region Chronic Disease Management Program, U-CHAMP will deliver a program to assist in the identification and management of people with high blood pressure and through this effort, reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke in the urban Calgary population aged 18-80 years.

Further study details as provided by University of Calgary:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Change in systolic blood pressure between baseline (average of visits one and two) and program end (final visit). [ Time Frame: 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Proportion of screened participants identified as being above blood pressure, cholesterol and blood glucose targets at visit two [ Time Frame: 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Proportion of participants that achieve published blood pressure (lipid and diabetes when appropriate) targets by program end [ Time Frame: 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Proportion of individuals that obtain both a baseline and end of program full lipid panel [ Time Frame: 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Change in British Hypertension Society global cardiovascular risk score (in those participants that do not have known vascular disease or diabetes and have a recorded baseline and end-of-study full lipid panel). [ Time Frame: 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Proportion of individuals that have changes in drug therapy (new medication and/or dosage increase). [ Time Frame: 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
