Filter by:Heart failure and preserved ejection fraction (HFPEF) is a disease with increasing prevalence world wide. Due to its etiological and prognostic relationship with hypertension, it is highly interesting to know the characteristics and influence of Blood pressure levels and of the hemodynamic biomarkers, measured by Ambulatory Blood Pressure measurement in the outcome of patients with (HF-PEF), defined by the risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality (hospital re-admissions, emergency room visits, functional decline and mortality). The investigators consider other factors such as Frailty, comorbidities, and the baseline functional capacity to asses the prognostic value.
The purpose of this registry is to compile a large clinical database on the medical management of patients hospitalized with acute heart failure, using information collected from hospitals across China.
Risk assessment after myocardial infarction is critical in daily practice and evolution toward heart failure especially diastolic heart failure remains a key issue. All consecutive patients with myocardial infarction (either STEMI or NSTEMI but excluding type 2 MI) presenting at university hospital of Lille within 48 hours after symptom onset will be recruited in the RIGID-MI registry. The RIGID-MI study proposes to deeply evaluate at 1 month after MI: peripheral vascular disease, vascular stiffness, ventriculo-arterial coupling and other usual risk factors. The main objective is to identify clinical, biological and imaging parameters associated with poor prognosis, especially evolution toward diastolic heart failure, recurrence of MI, and bleeding.
Advances in treatment have led to improved survival of patients with cancer, but have also increased morbidity and mortality due to cancer treatment side effects. Cardiotoxicity is one the most frequent side effect which may lead to premature morbidity and death among cancer survivors. The most concerning cardiovascular complications of cancer therapy is myocardial dysfunction, leading to heart failure, and fatal arrhythmias, especially those induced by QT-prolonging drugs. PROMETEY (PROspective Multidisciplinary obsErvational Trial of cardiotoxicity in patiEnts undergoing anticancer therapy) - is Russian multicenter observational study assessing cardiotoxicity and its clinical, biochemical and genetic factors in patients on cancer therapy. The objectives of the study are: - to reveal prevalence of cardiotoxic effects of cancer therapy in routine clinical practice in Russian Federation, - to assess contribution of these effects to mortality of patients on cancer therapy, - to evaluate clinical and economic consequences of cardiotoxicity in patients with cancer, - to develop an individualized model of cardiotoxicity risk factors based on clinical and laboratory parameters. Patients: 400 cancer patients with toxic cardiomyopathy and 100 patients with idiopathic or family dilated cardiomyopathy. Study duration: 60 months. All patients will undergo complex examination after signing informed consent form(ICF): physical exam, echocardiography with speckle tracking analysis, ambulatory 48-hours ECG monitoring, biochemistry, analysis of biomarkers of myocardial injury, fibrosis and inflammation. Primary endpoint: all-cause mortality, heart transplantation, cardioverter-defibrillator implantation, hospitalization with heart failure decompensation. Secondary endpoints: - thromboembolism, - fatal/ nonfatal myocardial infarction, stroke, - sudden cardiac death, - surgical therapy of heart failure or arrhythmias, - cardiovascular death, - all-cause mortality, - heart transplantation, - cardioverter-defibrillator implantation.
New therapies for cancer increased patient survival, but led to the recognition of adverse effects associated with cancer treatment, such as the use of chemotherapy. Cardiotoxicity is the most significant adverse effect, which affect the functional capacity and quality of life and is associated with high morbidity and mortality, regardless of the oncological prognosis. One of the manifestations of cardiotoxicity is ventricular dysfunction that can lead to heart failure. Neuro humoral hyperactivation with increased sympathetic nerve activity is a typical manifestation of heart failure and is associated with worse prognosis. Studies have shown that physical training significantly reduces sympathetic nerve activity in addition to improving muscle blood flow, reversing effects on skeletal muscle and improving quality of life. The hypothesis is that physical training may reduce sympathetic nerve activity and vasoconstrictor status in patients with heart failure caused by anthracyclines, as well as improving baroreflex and chemoreflex sensibility, mechanoreflex and metaborreflex control and skeletal myopathy.
This is a prospective, multi-center, single-group, target-value clinical study. The primary safety end points are major adverse cardiovascular events (MACCE) 30 days after device implantation. The primary efficacy end point is the end of left ventricular systolic volume index (LVESVI) reduction at 6 month. The secondary observational end points includes immediate success rate of the procedure, all-cause mortality, cardiac death, rehospitalization rates and MACCE occurrence rate within 12 month. Besides, left ventricular end systolic volume index (LVESVI) change at 30 days,12 months, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), left ventricular end-diastolic volume index (LVEDVI), 6 minutes walk test, heart function evaluation (NYHA classification) and quality of life (EQ-5D) at 30 days, 6 months, 12 months will also be evaluated. After statistical hypothesis and sample size estimation, the sample size of this clinical trial was 117 cases. All subjects were followed up 30 days, 6 months and 12 months after implantation of the Heartech® left ventricular partitioning device. All relevant clinical data were managed by professional data management center, and all relevant clinical data were statistically analyzed by third-party statistical center.
The Exploratory study of the Edwards Transcatheter Atrial Shunt System is a multi-center, prospective, exploratory study to evaluate initial clinical safety, device functionality, and effectiveness of the Edwards Transcatheter Atrial Shunt System.
This retrospective cohort study is to identify triggers of heart failure (HF) development and drivers of HF progression as well as the underlying cardiac disease (phenotype) to identify patients at risk and predict the clinical course of the disease. Data of patients who were hospitalized during the years 2010-2023 with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and/ or with acute heart failure (AHF) will be collected and analyzed. In a subgroup cohort efficacy and safety of digoxin in patients with acute heart failure triggered by tachyarrhythmia will be evaluated.
Researchers are testing a more accurate way to measure how much fluid is in the lungs (also called pulmonary edema, or "increased lung water") in people with Heart Failure (HF) using MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging). There is little known about the exact level of lung water in patients with AHF or how these levels change from the time of hospital admission to discharge. The purpose of this research study is to measure the lung water in patients hospitalized for HF, to determine the change in lung water over the course of hospitalization and treatment, and to find out if lung water levels can predict if patients are higher or lower risk for returning to the hospital or dying from heart failure.
Health inequality and genetic disparity are a significant issue in the United Kingdom (UK). This study focuses on diseases that are associated with significant morbidity and mortality in the UK, and specifically examines the extent and basis of treatment failure in different patient populations. The vast majority of drug registration clinical trials have under-representation of ethnic minority populations. In addition, the wider Caucasian populations have reasonably different clinical characteristics to the population that participated in the drug licencing clinical trials. A consequence of this is that drugs are licensed for use in real-world general patient populations where the clinical trial results are simply not statistically significant to specifically demonstrate efficacy or safety in populations that were either absent or under-represented in the drug registration clinical trials. When these facts are considered alongside data that supports significant under-reporting of adverse events in the real-world setting within the UK (and globally, e.g the USA and Europe), it highlights that pharmacovigilance systems are unable to capture drug effectiveness and safety data in a manner that can reasonably assure appropriate prescribing in the wider patient populations. This large real-world research study aims to identify whether commonly prescribed drugs are effective in treating illnesses that cause significant poor health and death in the different patient populations that represent the UK. The goal of this study is to generate large quantitative data-sets that may inform clinical practice to reduce the existing health inequality and genetic disparity in the UK.
