Filter by:The primary objective of the study is to assess the chronic safety of MicroPort CRM market-released systems.
The purpose of this study is to conduct a a cohort study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the efficacy and safety of roxadustat for the treatment of anemia, quality of life and cardiac function in patients with heart failure and chronic kidney disease.
The goal of this study is to test the impact of a virtual heart failure optimization program on uptake of guideline directed medical therapy, participation in cardiac rehabilitation & impact on echocardiographic parameters.
The aim of this study is to learn about the safety of empagliflozin in dialysis patients as a preparation for a future large clinical trial. Empagliflozin has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of either type 2 diabetes, heart failure, or chronic kidney disease among patients not on dialysis. The use of empagliflozin has not been studied or approved among patients on dialysis for kidney failure because empagliflozin acts on the kidneys. However, recent experimental studies have indicated that empagliflozin may provide direct heart benefits. Some dialysis patients have substantial residual kidney function, which may be protected by empagliflozin. Participants will be given empagliflozin for three (3) months on top of the standard of care (usual medical care for participants' condition) and will be followed up until one (1) month after the last dose. The investigators will collect information about participants' general health, obtain blood, urine, and imaging studies, check home blood pressure, monitor home blood sugar levels, and ask health-related questions to assess the safety and potential benefits of empagliflozin over four (4) months, including one month before the three (3)-month empagliflozin treatment.
This is a prospective, multi-center, randomized, sham-controlled clinical trial.
The role of soluble circulating suppression of tumorigenicity 2 biomarker (sST2) in the ischemic heart disease patient is a debatable point. Therefore the aims of this study are to assess the plasma level of sST2 in ischemic heart disease patients versus non-ischemic ones, the acute changes in its level after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and its relation to the severity of ischemia.
Prospective, multicenter, randomized, sham-controlled, double blinded, adaptive study designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a percutaneously created interatrial shunt using the Alleviant ALV1 System in patients with HFpEF/HFmrEF.
The aim of this study is to develop and validate an improved, comprehensive risk assessment algorithm integrating blood RNA-based biomarkers, clinical, and patient-centered data and to assess the incremental predictive value (discrimination and reclassification) compared to a traditional risk model (change in the c-statistics for prediction of the primary endpoint).
Aortix is a circulatory support device for chronic heart failure patients on medical management who have been hospitalized for acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) and are resistant to diuretic therapy. Eligible ADHF patients with diuretic resistance (irrespective of ejection fraction) will be enrolled and randomized 1:1 to either the Aortix system or standard of care medical management.
Heart failure (HF) is a condition in which the heart does not contract ("pump") or relax well, leading to insufficient perfusion of vital organs. Ankle swelling, fatigue, and breathlessness are some of the features of this syndrome. There are different causes for HF (eg., infarct and hypertension) and two distinct types: HFrEF - HF with reduced ejection fraction - where the heart does not "pump" properly, and HFpEF - HF with preserved ejection fraction - the heart "pumps" but does not relax well. Treatment for HFrEF is better established than for HFpEF. In HFpEF, only mineralocorticoid receptors antagonists (MRAs) have been shown to reduce hospitalizations, circulating markers of cardiac dysfunction and fibrosis, and blood pressure. Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) are a therapeutic class that reduces morbidity and mortality in patients with high cardiovascular risk and diabetes and in patients with HFrEF with and without diabetes. Trials are underway to test whether SGLT2i may also be useful for the treatment of HFpEF. This work aims to compare the effects of MRAs and SGLT2i alone, plus their combination in patients with HFpEF.
