Filter by:This research will be one of the first hospital-based studies to comprehensively evaluate the epidemiological characteristics of sleep disordered breathing (SDB) in patients with Congestive Heart Failure (CHF). This prospective, observational cohort, single center study will include all consecutive CHF outpatients from the specialized heart failure clinic in Medical Department, Hospital Taiping, Malaysia irrespective of preserved or depressed Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF). All participants will be subjected to an attended in-laboratory polysomnogram (PSG). It is anticipated the frequency and types of SDB to be variable compared to western data as this subject remains understudied in the South East Asian population. This research utilizes PSG rather than Portable Sleep Testing (PST) as seen in preceding studies for the diagnosis of SDB to prevent underdiagnosing SDBs and clearly distinguishing Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) and Central Sleep Apnea (CSA).
This project is part of the ACHIEVE GREATER (Addressing Cardiometabolic Health Inequities by Early PreVEntion in the GREAT LakEs Region) Center (IRB 100221MP2A), the purpose of which is to reduce cardiometabolic health disparities and downstream Black-White lifespan inequality in two cities: Detroit, Michigan, and Cleveland, Ohio. The ACHIEVE GREATER Center will involve three separate but related projects that aim to mitigate health disparities in risk factor control for three chronic conditions, hypertension (HTN, Project 1), heart failure (HF, Project 2) and coronary heart disease (CHD, Project 3), which drive downstream lifespan inequality. All three projects will involve the use of Community Health Workers (CHWs) to deliver an evidence-based practice intervention program called PAL2. All three projects will also utilize the PAL2 Implementation Intervention (PAL2-II), which is a set of structured training and evaluation strategies designed to optimize CHW competence and adherence (i.e., fidelity) to the PAL2 intervention program. The present study is Project 2 of the ACHIEVE GREATER Center.
Background: Heart failure is a serious health condition. Researchers believe inflammation plays a role. They want to see if adding an additional heart drug to a person s treatment can help treat heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Objective: To learn if chronic inflammation is high in heart failure and if taking dapagliflozin along with the standard of care medicines for 6 months will reduce inflammation and improve heart function in people with HFpEF. Eligibility: People aged 18 and older who have heart failure and qualify for dapagliflozin therapy. Healthy adult volunteers are also needed. Design: - Participants will be screened with: - Medical history - Physical exam - Heart function tests - X-ray scans of the heart and blood vessels. They may receive medicines to slow their heart rate or make their heart blood vessels bigger. An intravenous (IV) catheter will be placed in their arm to inject contrast. - Blood and urine tests - Participants will have up to 3 study visits. Some screening tests will be repeated. Participants will take one tablet of the study drug daily for 6 months. -Participants will have an imaging scan of their heart and blood vessels. They will receive a contrast and stress medicine through an IV to view blood supply. Participants will have a stress test that measures exercise ability. They will wear sticky pads on their chest, a blood pressure cuff, and a mask. They will also have a 6-Minute Walk Test. Participants will complete questionnaires about their symptoms and their health. Participants may be on the study for up to 6 months. They will have a follow-up phone call 1 month after treatment ends. ...
This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness, safety, and cost-effectiveness of ARNI and ACEi/ARBs in real-world practice. This study could find out what the unmet medical needs are in real world practice. Furthermore, this study will be helpful to establish the healthcare policy reimbursement policy or clinical practice guideline for HF regarding HF medications to reduce the burden of HF in Korea.
This is a multi-center, randomized, sponsor open-label, participant- and investigator-blinded, placebo-controlled, single and multiple dose study to investigate the safety and tolerability of XXB750 in HFrEF/HFmrEF.
Acute Heart failure (AHF) is a common cause of acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD). This association is frequently underestimated with regard to the difficulty of clinical diagnosis. The investigators expect that the application of the inferior vena cava collapsibility index (ΔIVC)could be useful in this issue.
The purpose of this study is to Using saliva stimulation to immediately improve heart failure inpatient's thirst sensation.
The purpose of the study is to determine if the Electrocardiograms (ECGs) and symptoms data obtained from an Apple Watch and transmitted to Mayo Clinic are of sufficient quality to guide a person's care.
This study will employ a randomized order, double-blind, repeated measures dose ranging design. This design was chosen in order to generate multiple within-subject serial loop diuretic dose response exposures. The overall study schema will include 75 heart failure (HF) patients.
A phase 1, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled single-ascending dose study to assess JK07 in adult subjects with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction.
