Filter by:The REFORM-HF study aims to test a new technology, AquaPass, designed to assist patients experiencing symptoms of fluid overload due to Heart Failure. Patients will wear a lightweight suit that helps remove excess fluids through their sweat. We want to see if AquaPass can remove an additional 500mL of fluids during treatment, alongside patients' regular medications like diuretics. Participants will select if to be treated at their home or in the outpatient clinic.
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of AZD5462 on cardiac function in participants with chronic heart failure (HF).
The goal of this study is to investigate the effect of oral sucrosomial iron on exercise capacity and quality of life in patients with heart failure (HF) and iron deficiency (ID). The main question the study aims to answer is whether oral sucrosomial iron improved exercise capacity, assessed by six-minute walk test, and quality of life, assessed by Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire, compared with placebo. One group of participants will receive treatment with oral sucrosomial iron and the other group will receive treatment with placebo.
Primary objective is to is to evaluate the bioequivalence of two formulations
Heart failure (HF) is a multisystemic disorder characterized by marked disturbances in the physiology of the circulatory system and a multitude of structural and functional changes in the myocardium that adversely affect the systolic function and diastolic filling of the heart. Heart failure is not a single pathologic diagnosis, but a clinical syndrome consisting of cardiac symptoms (eg, dyspnea, edema of the lower extremities, and fatigue) that may be accompanied by signs (eg, increased jugular venous pressure and peripheral edema).The diagnosis of CKD becomes more likely in patients with a history of myocardial infarction (MI), arterial hypertension, coronary artery disease (CHD), diabetes mellitus, alcohol abuse, chronic kidney disease (CKD), cardiotoxic chemotherapy, and in patients with a family history of cardiomyopathy or of sudden death. The diagnosis of HF requires the presence of HF symptoms and/or signs and objective evidence of cardiac dysfunction. The main symptoms of HF are symptoms such as shortness of breath at rest or during exercise, difficulty breathing (dyspnea), rapid breathing (tachypnea), difficulty breathing when bending over (bendopnea), orthopnea, paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea, fatigue , weight gain or weight loss, swelling (of the extremities, scrotum or elsewhere), wheezing, palpitations, syncope, history of Cheyne Stokes breathing during sleep (often reported by the family rather than the patient), cough, drowsiness. The simplest terminology used to describe HF severity is the New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional classification based on symptom severity and physical activity. In Greece, it is estimated that the number of patients suffering from HF is 200,000. In the vast majority of cases, transthoracic echocardiography is the initial cardiac imaging test used to evaluate patients with newly diagnosed or suspected heart failure. Echocardiography is particularly suitable for the evaluation of myocardial structure and function, valvular function and hemodynamic parameters .
Heart failure (HF) is a chronic disease that has a strong impact on quality of life and is often accompanied by anxiety and depression symptoms that can contribute to poor treatment compliance. The overall management of heart failure is currently part of the recommendations and, alongside drug therapy and electrical devices that can be proposed, lifestyle changes (diet, physical activity) can help improve well-being. and perhaps patient prognosis. Yoga is an ancient practice, known to improve the emotional and physical well-being of individuals. There is no formal medical contraindication to this practice, which can be perfectly adapted to the patient's condition. However, very few patients with heart failure practice yoga. A few randomized trials with small numbers as well as the combined analysis of several studies have shown the benefit of yoga in heart failure. The main objective of the research is to demonstrate the improvement in the quality of life induced by the regular practice of yoga in the management of stabilized chronic heart failure patients. Secondly, we will evaluate the effectiveness of regular yoga practice on improving the clinical condition of chronic heart failure patients.
The goal of this multi center observational prospective study is to analyze the concordance between the signs and symptoms of RHF and echocardiographic features of RVD in patient with heart failure. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. to assess the incidence of RVH and RVD in each HF subtypes. 2. to evaluate prognostic impact ( in terms of cardiovascular mortality and HF hospitalization) of different RVD patterns during a mean followup period of 3 years 3. To investigate the incidence of different RV maladaptation ( isolated RV dilatation, isolated Pulmonary hypertension, combined pattern) in each HF groups and the related outcome. Participants will follow by direct check up visit and/or virtual visits every 6 months for a mean follow-up period of 3 years.
The goal of this fully-remote randomized controlled trial is to test the efficacy of Mindful Steps in facilitating physical activity compared to usual standard of care among 136 patients with COPD and/or HF. The main question it aims to answer is can this intervention promote physical activity as measured by daily step counts in sedentary patients with COPD and/or HF. Participants will be randomized (1:1 ratio) to receive either the Mindful Steps intervention or usual care for 12 months, with both arms receiving a Walking for Health education booklet.
The goal of the trial is to study the effects of lavender essential oil on sleep quality, anxiety, and fatigue in patients with chronic heart failure. The main questions it may answer are 1. effects of lavender essential oil on sleep quality 2. effects of lavender essential oil on anxiety 3. effects of lavender essential oil on fatigue Patients will be randomly divided into experimental and control groups, the control group will inhale essential coconut oil, and the experimental group will inhale lavender essential oil for four weeks. At baseline, on the 7th day, and 28th day, the sleep quality, anxiety, and fatigue will be evaluated.
The aim the study is to determine the prevalence of prediabetic dysglycemia and newly diagnosed diabetes among individuals with CHF(chronic heart failure) in sohag university hospital patients .
