Filter by:This study is to compare transthoracic Echocardiography TTE to the gold standard Right Heart Catheterization in Terms of accuracy to measure hemodynamic parameters.
The objective of this single center prospective clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of carotid Baroreflex Activation Therapy (BAT) in advanced heart failure (HFrEF). Beyond that, the primary aim of this study is to identify patients of the whole HFrEF population that are most likely to benefit from this new promising therapy.
The objective of the BOSS Study is to assess acute anatomical and geometric annular and ventricular changes that occur when strategically positioned an external inflatable chambers are applied to the outside of the heart.
Heart failure (HF) is a major cardiovascular disease with increasing prevalence. Thiamine deficiency is common in HF patients. Previous small studies have shown that thiamine supplementation can improve left ventricular systolic function in HF, but larger clinical studies are lacking. Given the ease of supplementation and the potential benefits in HF, we aim to conduct a pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) using high dose thiamine supplementation in HF patients. The main goal of this pilot study is to determine the feasibility of recruitment for an RCT of thiamine supplementation.
This study aims to determine the prevalence and prognosis of heart failure with preserved ejection function (HFpEF) among patients being assessed for sleep disordered breathing (SDB).
The RECEDE-CHF trial is a single centre phase IV, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover trial conducted in NHS Tayside, Scotland comparing empagliflozin 25mg, to placebo in patients with Type 2 Diabetes and mild Chronic Heart Failure with left ventricular systolic dysfunction who are already on a loop diuretic. Renal physiological testing will be performed at two points on each arm to assess the effect of empagliflozin, on urinary volume, compared to placebo. The secondary outcomes are to assess the effect of empagliflozin in addition to loop diuretics on natriuresis, to assess the safety of add-on SGLT2 inhibitor therapy as measured by changes to serum creatinine and eGFR, to assess effects of empagliflozin on urinary protein/creatinine ratio, albumin/creatinine ratio and cystatin C when compared to placebo.
The focus of this study is to examine the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary impact of a 12-week, telephone-delivered, positive psychology (PP)-based health behavior intervention in a group of patients with mild to moderate heart failure (HF), compared to a motivational interviewing- (MI-) based education condition and treatment as usual (TAU).
This is a Phase 1b/IIa, single centre, non-randomised open-label uncontrolled study to assess safety, effect and PK of oral CRD-102 in patients with RHF associated with the presence of an LVAD.
The study will evaluate the within-subject variability of 20mg ER torsemide as compared to 20mg IR torsemide (Demadex) in fully replicate double-crossover trial in healthy volunteers, who are consuming a high-salt diet (300 mmol/day). The study will also evaluate the effects of ER torsemide and IR torsemide on 24h sodium excretion and total urinary excretion.
The primary study goal is to explore the influence of pharmacist interventions on the effectiveness of warfarin treatment in a specific subpopulation.
