Filter by:This study is intended to provide a basis for decision-making for the improved medical care of patients with asymptomatic heart failure, especially in structurally weak regions.
Patients with a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) will be randomized to either a moderate continuous (MCT, 50-60% of VO2peak) or interval training (IT, 80-90% of VO2peak) group for 6 weeks with 3 sessions per week, lasting for 20 minutes. An additional 10 minutes of resistance training will be performed in each group. Improvement of VO2peak and quality of life (KCCQ score) between the groups will be assessed.
This is an extended follow up study of the original RAFT-AF Study. The RAFT-AF study was a multi-centre randomized controlled trial with a prospective randomized open blinded endpoint trial (PROBE) design. Patients were randomized to either catheter ablation-based rhythm control of AF as compared to rate control of AF
This study is a prospective monocentric, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover clinical trial to assess the efficacy of Sacubitril/Valsartan over placebo in improving exercise capacity and neurohormonal activation in adults with moderate to severe systemic RV dysfunction and NYHA class II or III symptoms.
The purpose of this study is to refine the classification of the effectiveness of the DASH diet for outpatient heart failure (HF) management, using behavioral, clinical, and laboratory correlative science approaches.
The investigators will perform a long term registry based prospective analysis on incidence of major cardiovascular events or death in hypertensive patients with obstructive sleep apnea . Effects of PAP (positive airway pressure) compliance, antihypertensive medication and blood pressure control will be investigated in the study.
Retrospective prospective Multicentric clinical follow up of patients with severe tricuspid regurgitation after being treated with the TricValve® Transcatheter Bicaval Valves System.
Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a common and growing condition with a poor prognosis but the pathophysiology and management are still being investigated. The PREFER-CMR project aims to evaluate and validate the application of novel 4D cardiac magnetic resonance flow dynamic methods to measure left ventricular pressures and validate these measurements with direct pressure measurement by coronary angiography. This is a prospective observational study of patients with HFpEF undergoing clinical evaluation with coronary angiography who will also undergo contemporaneous cardiac MRI. The primary outcome will be the level of agreement between the two methods using angiography as the reference method.
The investigators intend to conduct clinical studies to determine the efficacy of rhBNP in the treatment of septic related dysfunction and kidney dysfunction
One-stop procedure combining catheter ablation (CA) and left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) has been a feasible treatment for patients with atrial fibrillation at high risk of stroke and/or bleeding. Although it could achieve considerable rhythm control and stroke prophylaxis, a number of patients has experienced progressive heart failure after the procedure. Notably, previous studies indicate that both pulmonary vein isolation by CA and LAAC could significantly increase left atrial pressure, while currently no study has investigated left atrial pressure change in patients underwent combined procedure. The investigators hypothesise that combined procedure would significantly increase left atrial pressure and subsequently deteriorate cardiac function. Therefore, the investigators aim to measure the left and right atrial pressure change before and after CA and LAAC in combined procedure, and investigate the influence of the pressure change on clinical outcomes.
