Filter by:The Purpose of this study is to compare two programming modalities for CRT devices in Heart Failure patients with an indication for Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy
Evaluate the feasibility of administering plasma (PF24) acquired from donors of a young chronological age intravenously to older adults at WFBMC while also exploring its effects on age-related functional decline
To assess the effect of ARNI on myocardial deoxygenation at stress and myocardial fibrosis, and correlate this to changes in myocardial systolic and diastolic function in HFpEF patients.
This is a study of the DASH diet (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) in the exploration of effective strategies for Heart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction (HFPEF) prevention.
We will conduct a pragmatic randomized trial comparing whether using a combination of two types of diuretics (loop + thiazide) compared with using a single diuretic (loop only) will result in shorter hospital stays for patients hospitalized with heart failure.
The purpose of this study is to see how investigators may best improve treatment adherence and disease management for heart failure after hospital discharge. This is because the period after hospital discharge is critical to long-term recovery, overall quality of life, and prevention of future hospitalizations. In this study, a trained nurse interventionist will work with the participants to develop a personalized adherence enhancement strategy for heart failure diagnosis. The personalized adherence enhancement strategy is called EMPOWER.
Cardiac Heart Failure Questionnaire HF-Q) to assess the severity of the symptoms of Heart Failure. In this study, modified and translated, the "four-point" questionnaire by Severo and his associates - Heart Failure Questionnaire HF-Q, is used. The HF-Q Heart Failure Questionnaire consists of four closed questions: the first with four possible answers and the other three questions with the possibility of three simple-choice answers.
Background: Treatments for structural heart and valve disease are quickly changing. But treatment could be improved. Researchers want to gather data from people with this disease. They want to find problems and seek new ways to make treatments better. Objective: To find people with structural heart and valve disease with common features to study. To find flaws and patterns in procedures related to this disease. To share findings with other researchers. Eligibility: People ages 18 and older who are receiving care from the structural heart and valve program at the participating NHLBI structural heart disease network sites that are part of the study Design: Participants will be screened with their consent. This will occur when they give their standard consent for medical care. Participants will have their data collected in the course of standard medical care. Data include: Demographic data Protected health data Personally identifiable data Medical records Medical images. These could include X-rays, CT scans, and MRI scans. The study could find something that would impact participants care. If this is the case, their doctors will be told. Participants data may be shared with other researchers. ...
The purpose of this sub-study is to use positron emission tomography and computed tomography imaging (PET/CT) with an investigational drug called [11C] acetate to see if inflammation in patients with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) can cause changes in blood flow and oxygen use in the heart. This study may help physicians better understand how to treat patients diagnosed with ADHF in the future.
This study will assess the reliability of POC ultrasound in estimating right and left atrium pressures in patients with acute decompensated heart failure. This study will compare hemodynamic measurements obtained from pulmonary artery catheters with those estimated from POC ultrasound using inferior vena cava (IVC) measurements and the presence of atrial septal bulge.
