Filter by:The SHORT trial compares the current standard optimization protocol to a shortened protocol in a randomized control trial.
The objective of CROWD-COMPARE is to compare the efficacy of carvedilol and metoprolol succinate on all-cause mortality or first hospitalization for worsening heart failure in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction with an indication for treatment with beta-blockers.
The study is a multi-center, prospective, non-randomized, observational study to collect data to develop and validate a machine learning algorithm for early detection of worsening heart failure events using multi-parametric sensor data from wearable data capture device The VESTA study will enroll up to 552 subjects in up to 25 centers in order to collect data on a total of at least 56 worsening heart failure events (independently adjudicated hospitalizations or unscheduled intravenous administration of decongestive drugs).The duration of follow-up per participant will be between 3-6 months.
The investigators hypothesize that the airway pressures generated by High Flow Oxygen Therapy could have a beneficial impact in patients with heart failure, particularly by lowering capillary pulmonary arterial pressures. However, results compared to Non-Invasive Ventilation are difficult to predict due to the lack of data in the literature.
Chronic, ambulatory heart failure patients will be given ketone ester dietary supplementation to determine therapeutic efficacy, metabolic adaptation, pharmacokinetics, associated cognitive changes, and safety within this patient cohort in order to establish preliminary data to later conduct a multi-center randomized clinical trial.
Background and objectives Heart failure is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide and it is a major cause of emergency department access for cardiovascular disease patients. Aim of this study is to identify the markers, based on short-term temporal repolarization dispersion, capable to individuate decompensated chronic heart failure (CHF) patients at high mortality risk. Method: We will obtain the following variables from ECG monitor, via mobile phone, during 5-minute recordings in decompensated CHF patients: RR, QT end (QTe), QT peak (QTp) and T peak to T end (Te) and we calculated mean, standard deviation (SD) and normalized index (N).
Based on the safety evaluation of primates, the best cell transplantation scheme was integrated. One patient with CHF caused by coronary heart disease, one patient with CHF caused by dilatation and one patient with CHF caused by Keshan disease were selected and treated with autologous iPS differentiated cardiomyocyte intravenous transplantation. The safety evaluation of human body was completed and combined with subjective and objective indexes respectively. Structural and functional indicators were used to evaluate the therapeutic effect of cell transplantation. The results of animal experiments confirmed the safety and effectiveness of intravenous myocardial cell transplantation, and clarified its possible mechanism.
Patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) and reduced left ventricle ejection fraction benefit from cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) and implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD). Currently used devices, besides delivering low and high-energy therapies, record patient's activity and many hemodynamic parameters. However, increasing numbers of patient with CRT and ICD devices produce overload of cardiology centers where patients are admitted to ambulatory visits. Contrarily, there are technological possibilities for remote monitoring proven to be effective in recognizing damage of the implanted device and risk of exacerbation of chronic heart failure. Patients' registries show that majority of ambulatory visits are unproductive and do not result in significant modification of device's parameters. Promising experiences with application of data mining and machine learning techniques allow us to assume probable benefits from using modern methods of data analysis in determination of requirement for ambulatory follow-up on basis of data gathered through telemonitoring and clinical assessment of a patient. Aim of the study is to find multivariate model predicting the requirement for ambulatory follow-up of IECD.
VINDICATE 2 will be a randomised, placebo-controlled, parallel group, double-blind study of vitamin D versus placebo in otherwise optimally-managed patients with CHF due to LVSD and vitamin D deficiency (<50nmol/L). The intervention will be a daily dose of 4000IU (100µg) per day or matching placebo for a minimum of 2 years and a maximum of 4 years.
This study aims to evaluate the effect of standard heart failure therapy plus oral solution with protein succinylate iron compared to placebo on the primary end point of 6 minute walk distance at 24th week in patients with chronic ejection fraction reduction heart failure and iron deficiency.
