Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine the superiority of the effectiveness of Henagliflozin 10 milligram (mg) daily versus blank control in participants with type II diabetes (T2DM) and symptomatic heart failure (HF) in improving the overall Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ) Clinical Summary Score (CSS).
The goal of this clinical trial is to study if an investigational study drug called Dapagliflozin could prevent heart failure from getting worse in adults with Fontan circulation. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does Dapagliflozin decrease Fontan pressure? 2. Does Dapagliflozin improve exercise capacity and heart failure symptoms? Participants will have 4 study visits and 2 follow-up phone calls. The total duration of participation in the study will be up to 5 weeks from the time of screening to the completion of the final safety evaluation. Study procedures include the collection of study-related health information and blood samples, physical examination, exercise testing, total body water assessment, blood laboratory testing, health status survey, safety evaluation phone calls, and home blood pressure monitoring.
This study is intended to assess the ability of AZD3427 to reduce pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) after 24 weeks of treatment in participants with heart failure (HF) and pulmonary hypertension (PH) Group 2
In the treatment of heart failure (HF), SGLT-2 inhibitor (SGLT-2i) can significantly improve the clinical outcome and quality of life related to HF. The current data show that SGLT-2i is effective and safe in improving HF outcomes in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 4, but there is little clinical evidence in patients with eGFR<20 ml/min/1.73 m2. Therefore, our research is designed to confirm that SGLT-2i can improve the outcome of HF in patients with chronic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and severe chronic renal insufficiency (eGFR<20ml/min/1.73m2).
The objective of this study is to test the feasibility of using behavioral economic interventions (gamification with social incentives) to increase physical activity after hospital discharge to reduce incident mobility disability among older adults.
This is a randomized, open-label, initiative within the Mass General Brigham healthcare system testing two remote care strategies for optimizing the prescription of guideline-directed medical therapies in patients with heart failure, regardless of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF).
Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer in women. Modern breast cancer treatments have led to increased survival, but at the same time, increased risk for cardiotoxicity and development of heart failure. In this study, the investigators want to evaluate whether nicotinamide riboside can prevent cancer-related cardiac dysfunction in metastatic breast cancer patients scheduled for anthracycline therapy. Further, the investigators will evaluate change in signs of skeletal muscle injury and functional capacity.
The investigators aim to evaluate the feasibility and prognostic value of right ventricular-arterial coupling (RVAC) during exercise in patients with HFpEF-PH using a hybrid technique of real-time CMRderived volume measures and CardioMEMS-derived pulmonary artery pressure measurements. The investigators will determine: 1. Whether exercise RV-arterial coupling at baseline (assessed using hybrid CMRCardioMEMS) predicts development or worsening of exercise RV-arterial uncoupling during follow-up in HFpEF-PH patients. 2. If HFpEF-PH patients developing RV dysfunction have a particular PAP pattern as assessed remotely using the CardioMEMS system. The investigators will determine differential characteristics in CardioMEMS pressure patterns in those developing RV dysfunction versus those who do not develop RV dysfunction, both at rest and during exercise. Hence, HFpEF-PH patients developing RV dysfunction may harbor a plateau of pulmonary artery pressures (as a reflection of RV-arterial uncoupling) despite clinical worsening. 3. Whether extraction of raw pressure data obtained by the CardioMEMS system is feasible and enables post-processing using machine learning methods (artificial intelligence) for deep phenotyping of patients (in addition to clinical evaluation of pressure waveforms). The investigators aim to evaluate the effect of SGLT-2 inhibitors on RV-arterial coupling in patients with HFpEF-PH. In case a patient is not using an SGLT-2 inhibitor, the investigators will prescribe this after baseline testing, since SGLT-2 inhibitors are clinically indicated in these patients.
This is an observational study in which data from people in China with chronic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) who will be receiving vericiguat treatment are collected. Vericiguat treatment will be compared to available data on standard of care (SOC) treatment. In observational studies, only observations are made without specified advice or interventions. HFrEF is a long-term condition where the left side of the heart does not pump blood out to the body as well as it should. Blood and fluid may collect in the lungs, blood vessels, and tissues causing shortness of breath or tiredness. Over time, heart failure can lead to other serious medical conditions that may result in hospital stays and death. The drug vericiguat works by increasing the activity of an enzyme called soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC). The sGC enzyme helps to regulate the heart and blood circulation. Vericiguat is already available in China and other countries for doctors to prescribe to people with heart failure. Vericiguat has already been studied in previous clinical studies. However, the data from these studies were restricted by inclusion and exclusion criteria. Therefore, this real-world study will collect important data from real-world setting in China. The main purpose of this study is to collect more data on how well vericiguat works compared with current SOC in Chinese people with HFrEF under everyday conditions. Working well means that the treatment can prevent the following from happening: - death due to heart and circulatory events, - a hospital stay due to heart conditions (failure). In addition, the study team will gather more information about how safe the study drug vericiguat is for Chinese people with HFrEF. To do this, the researchers will collect all medical problems the participants have during the study. These medical problems are also known as "adverse events" and may or may not be related to the study treatment. Subsequently, the study team will compare the data between participants who received the study drug vericiguat and those who received SOC. The SOC is the currently appropriate treatment in accordance with scientific evidence and agreed upon in collaboration between medical experts for HFrEF. The participants will take vericiguat as prescribed by their doctors during routine practice according to the approved product information. For the vericiguat group, data will be collected at routine visits, which are not mandated by this study. The data for the comparison (SOC group) will come from a database called China Heart Failure Center. These data will be collected retrospectively for a comparable period of time. The following data from the study participants will be documented during visits that take place in routine practice every 3 months: - underlying and concomitant diseases, - prior medication, - laboratory parameters, - vital signs such as blood pressure, heart rate, - results of cardiac exams (e.g. echocardiography), - information about how and in which amount vericiguat is usually given to patients. The participants will be treated with vericiguat and followed up to 12 months or until they leave the study, whatever comes first.
