Filter by:Study to assess the prevalence of central sleep apnea in patients with heart failure with reduced or mildly reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF <50%) followed by case-control study to assess the link between central sleep apnea and cognitive function
CO-CREATION-HF aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a comprehensive and hybrid cardiac rehabilitation model compared to supervised exercise alone.
The goal of this multicenter observational longitudinal cohort study is to evaluate the ability of a Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) program to prevent cardiac decompensation by detecting weak signals of decompensation early in patients with chronic heart failure in France. The main question it aims to answer is whether an RPM solution can provide the improvement in overall patient survival Participants will answer to questionnaires provided by the RPM solution for the follow-up of their condition. Researchers will compare the following cohorts to see if RPM can improve their condition: - Cohort 1: using RPM for follow-ups. - Cohort 2: conventional care and not using any devices and solutions for the follow-ups.
The purpose of this study is to develop robust protocols for the optimisation of novel hardware, software and exercise equipment in the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) environment in various cohorts with cardiovascular disease (CVD) with the first study focusing on those with established heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) or those at risk of or with pre-HFpEF.
The Multitude is a registry of patients who receive commercially available CIEDs that remotely communicate through the LATITUDE monitoring system and transfer data to a central database. The registry is designed to constitute a shared environment for the collection, management, analysis and reporting of clinical and diagnostic data, adopted by a network of European scientifically-motivated physicians who use rhythm management diagnostic and therapeutic solutions from Boston Scientific in their clinical practice. The Multitude study will facilitate the sharing of scientific proposals within a large network of researchers, and it will allow researchers to record the experience with medical devices throughout the device and patient lifecycle.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), by 2021 cardiovascular diseases (CVD) will be a public health problem, among them heart failure (HF), since this is a chronic disease, patients should be competent in their care. Despite the above, according to research conducted in Colombia, 59.7% of people with chronic noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) have a level of care competence considered not optimal; patients report not having sufficient knowledge of the disease or experience feelings of lack of tools for the management of symptoms and the challenges of post-hospitalization. The objective of the research is to determine the effect of the PLAN CUIDARTE on the caregiving competence of people with HF Methodology: Pre-posttest randomized clinical trial, with blinding of the participants, where the intervention "PLAN CUIDARTE" is applied and the initial and subsequent caregiving competence is evaluated in the comparison group and in the intervention group for pretest - posttest and between-group comparisons.
Diagnosing heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) in patients complaining exertional breathlessness can be challenging: diagnostic algorithms and scores have low sensitivity, and ageing-associated comorbidities can complicate the interpretation of symptoms. Thus, exercise right heart catheterization (RHC) or invasive cardiopulmonary exercise test (iCPET) have been advocated as gold-standard methods for HFpEF diagnosis. However, exercise RHC and iCPET are still not widely standardized methods, with results mainly coming from US cohorts (that may differ from Italian cohorts), and other provocative tests (e.g. non-invasive CPET, passive leg raising) may offer complementary diagnostic information.
Patients with heart failure and a preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (HFpEF) almost invariably complain of exertional breathlessness. Abnormal cardiac hemodynamics with pulmonary congestion are believed to trigger dyspnea in this patients. However, some patients may complain of exertional breathlessness which seems to be out of proportion as compared with hemodynamic abnormalities. Chemoreflex sensitivity accounts for the ventilatory responses to a variety of chemical stimuli, including carbon dioxide produced by the organism during exercise. Chemoreflex sensitivity can be augmented in heart failure with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction, and an increased chemoreflex sensitivity has been linked to symptoms, neurohumoral activation, breathing disturbances, and adverse prognosis. However, the clinical correlates and implications of chemoreflex sensitivity in HFpEF have not been accurately studied. We aim to characterize chemoreflex sensitivity in patients with a diagnosis of HFpEF, and to correlate chemoreflex sensitivity with clinical and hemodynamic characteristics.
This is a Phase III, international, multi-centre, randomised, double-blind, parallel-group, double-dummy, active-controlled, event-driven study in patients with chronic HF and impaired kidney function who had a recent HF event. The aim is to evaluate the effect of balcinrenone/dapagliflozin vs dapagliflozin, given once daily on top of other classes of SoC, on CV death and HF events.
