The purpose of the study is to evaluate whether the administration of iron to patients with heart failure and preserved ejection fraction results in an improvement of symptoms and functional class, in addition to evaluating whether oral iron is equivalent to intravenous iron to achieve this improvement.
The aim of this study is to compare the effects of Ivabradine and metoprolol to reduce heart rate prior to coronary CT angiography in patients with advanced heart failure.
Overall Research Strategy of this protocol is to refine and validate noninvasive CMR imaging sequences with invasive hemodynamic and pathology results to create a comprehensive, noninvasive, radiation-reduced regimen for pediatric cardiomyopathy and cardiac transplant assessment. We were the first to perform MR-guided cardiac catheterization in US children, and have accumulated the largest US experience, having performed over 75 procedures to date. Our unique experience puts us in strong position to leverage this technology to improve care of children with cardiomyopathy and transplant. Using an integrated approach, we will simultaneously (1) validate imaging measures of cardiac edema and fibrosis by correlating T1 and T2 map images with endomyocardial biopsy (EMB) results in Aim 1; (2) overlay T1, T2 map images into our x-ray system to display "hotspots" of T1 and T2 abnormalities to guide EMB in Aim 2; and (3) obtain radiation-free hemodynamic data in a highly vulnerable pediatric population by using CMR to guide catheter manipulation in the ICMR suite in Aim 3. Age and diagnosis-matched historical controls will be identified from the last 10 years at Children's National as a control population for specific purposes of comparing (1) EMB yield without image overlay and (2) Radiation exposure during X-ray guided right heart catheterization. Identical information will be obtained and stored in the same 45CFR compliant database. Historical controls will be identified from the cardiac catheterization database by searching for age and diagnosis. A waiver of consent will be applicable here, as it would be inconvenient, insensitive and not feasible to consent families who have already undergone treatment.
This study is a randomized controlled multicenter clinical trial, in which about 340 patients with newly diagnosed or prior diagnosed chronic heart will be recruited. Patients will be randomly divided into Angiotensin-Neprilysin Inhibition (ARNI) group and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors or angiotensin receptor blockers (ACEI/ARB) group. All-cause death, cardiac death and re-hospitalization due to heart failure will be evaluated in 1, 3, 6, 12 months after recruitment.
Myocarditis promotes the occurrence of serious cardiac arrhythmias and conduction disorders which may lead to sudden cardiac death, the need for catheter ablation of arrhythmia or implantation of a cardioverter-defibrillator or pacemaker. The aim of the study is to fill the evidence gap regarding the type and burden of arrhythmias in patients with myocarditis and their correlation with clinical parameters, biomarkers and additional tests. During a multi-center observational study, patients will be subjected to prolonged ECG monitoring. As a result, a risk scale will be created that can facilitate the identification of patients with an increased risk of arrhythmia and further specifying recommendations for therapeutic management.
Heart failure (HF), a current worldwide pandemic with an unacceptable high level of morbidity and mortality, brings an enormous medical and societal burden. Chronic HF is characterized by progressive alteration of cardiac structure and function. But the molecular mechanism of these alterations is still not well-established and needs to be discussed further. HF is a highly heterogeneous disease that can be caused by a multiple of diseases. Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) are the main causes of this syndrome. Although HF is the common manifestation of DCM and ICM, the etiology and pathogenesis are different. Understanding the different pathophysiological mechanisms will contribute to the prevention and individualized therapy of heart failure. Therefore, this study aims to observation the different characteristics of the molecular biology and clinical courses in DCM and ICM patients.
REDHART2 is a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial to determine the effects of Anakinra on peak aerobic exercise capacity measured with a cardiopulmonary test after 24 weeks in patients with recently decompensated systolic heart failure and increased systemic inflammation.
This trial is to evaluate two types of electrical muscle Stimulation (EMS) stimulation (low intensity "conventional stimulation" vs. high intensity "Russian" stimulation) of legs in comparison with a control group without EMS in a cohort of elderly patients with severe deconditioning after CHF decompensation.
The registry study aims to discover the prognostic value of bio-markers in heart failure
