Filter by:The diagnosis of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction has so far been made primarily according to criteria determined by echocardiography, or invasively by measuring the left ventricular filling pressures. Increasingly, CMR is also evaluated with regard to the diagnosis of cardiac insufficiency with preserved pump function.However, it is still unclear which parameters can be used meaningfully for diagnostics.To answer this question, the investigators want to retrospectively evaluate data collected from patients with a clinical indication for CMR and coronary angiography.
Chronic diseases are frequent and potentially severe. Type II diabetes, asthma and heart failure affect 3.3 million, 4 million and 1 million people respectively in France. They are sources of avoidable mortality as well as disabilities leading to a loss of years of full health life (DALYS). Cumulatively, they were responsible for the loss of more than 1 million DALYS in 2019 in France. National and international recommendations also include TVE in the management of these three diseases. This severity can be reduced by better management underpinned by therapeutic education. By improving their knowledge of the disease, it allows a better adherence of patients to the care project, the achievement of clinical and biological objectives, a decrease in the number of emergency room visits and unscheduled hospitalizations, and an improvement in the quality of life during the course of three frequent chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, asthma and heart failure. However, participation in a therapeutic education program remains highly variable depending on many parameters. Lack of information seems to play a major role in this context. In the Ile de France region, the density of available TEP programs is high, particularly in Paris. The three chronic diseases that are managed by an advanced practice nurse with a PCS mention have the largest number of TVE programs in Paris: type 2 diabetes (32, and 6 for diabetic foot), asthma and heart failure. In an urban area with a good supply of TVE facilities, how can investigators explain the lack of integration of these facilities into the care pathway? Among the diverse patient population consulting an emergency department suffering from type II diabetes, asthma or heart failure, investigators wish to determine the proportion of patients who have not been offered TVE during their care. Investigators will then try to identify demographic, socioeconomic, and medical factors statistically associated with the absence of FTE proposal.
The REVERSE-HF study is a randomized controlled trial to evaluate clinical outcomes of adjustable ultrafiltration with the Aquadex System as compared to adjustable IV loop diuretics in patients with worsening heart failure (HF) and fluid overload.
The COVID-19 health crisis has led to a drastic decrease in the rate of myocardial infarction without the causes being completely identified. They are probably multiple, but this crisis has confirmed the need for massive health data from different horizons to better assess coronary disease in order to develop precision medicine. This objective is now achievable thanks to the use of tools such as big data and artificial intelligence (AI). Our team is developing algorithms to analyze medical images and identify people at risk of major cardiovascular events. These algorithms which are developed with retrospective data must be validated on prospective data, which is the objective of the Grenoble cardiovascular digital health data observatory. The algorithm that will be validated is currently being created as part of a RIPH 3 study "AIDECORO" (NCT: 04598997). It is being developed from clinical, biological and imaging data from 600 patients with ST+ infarction and 1000 "control" patients who have undergone coronary angiography (these data are exported and stored in the PREDIMED health data warehouse via the hospital information system).
As part of National Institutes of Health Rapid Acceleration of Diagnostics-Underserved Populations (RADx-UP) program, the goal of the RADxUP study is to develop, test, and evaluate a rapid, scalable capacity building project to enhance COVID-19 testing in three regional community health centers (CHCs) in San Diego County, California. In collaboration with CHC partners, their consortium organization, Health Quality Partners (HQP), investigators are pursuing the following Specific Aims: 1) Compare the effectiveness of automated calls vs text messaging for uptake of COVID-19 testing among asymptomatic adult patients with select medical conditions and those 65 years of age and older receiving care at participating CHCs. Secondarily, investigators will invite all study participants to receive flu vaccination and will assess feasibility and acceptability of study participants to refer adult family household members who are essential workers for COVID-19 testing. 2) Gather patient, provider, CHC leadership, and community stakeholder insights to establish best practices for future scale-up of COVID-19 testing sustainability and vaccination.
Heart failure is a chronic health condition associated with significant symptoms, an increased need of support from the NHS, and typically is associated with a reduction in life expectancy. The covid pandemic has made it more difficult for the NHS to deliver high quality care to the 1 million patients living with heart failure in the UK. NHS England plans that digitalisation of services will help, increasing efficiency and improving ability of patients to self-care and manage their conditions. "Digitalisation" includes the use of digital tools for health, such as Apps and online resources & support. But the typical heart failure patient does not receive a diagnosis of heart failure until their 70s or 80s, creating a significant risk of digital exclusion. The heart failure failure community doesn't have any information about which tools (if any) heart failure patients are using, or why. Patients who attend the heart failure clinic at the Royal Brompton, either face-to-face or virtually, will be eligible for our study. They will be provided an information sheet and asked for informed consent. The study consists of 4 short questionnaires (30 questions total) which only takes between 10-15 minutes to complete, this consists of 3 previously validated questionnaires and one bespoke questionnaire related to their digital tool use. The investigators aim to recruit 130 patients to help us better understand how many NHS patients with heart failure access digital tools, which ones are most often used, and how this relates to their health literacy, digital health literacy and overall attitude to their health condition and management. The investigators aim to describe different digital subgroups of patients and will use this information to help inform local and national policy around digital support for people living with heart failure.
The STIM-ADHF Study is a multi-center, observational study to assess the performance and safety of the CPNS System in patients with ADHF.
This study is to evaluate whether 16 weeks of treatment with IMR-687 is a safe and effective treatment for patients with Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction (HFpEF). The primary objective is to evaluate whether IMR-687 reduces NT-proBNP compared to placebo in these patients.
Heart failure (HF) represents a significant public health concern. Medication non-adherence represents a modifiable contributor to costly hospital readmissions in older adults with HF. Educational interventions improve, but do not eliminate, non-adherence. Values affirmation interventions which invite individuals to reflect on core values may encourage better engagement in health behaviors by increasing the personal relevance of targeted behaviors. Similar interventions have promoted weight loss, increased adherence and physical activity, and more frequent fruit and vegetable consumption in a variety of contexts and populations. This study seeks to test a recently developed values-affirmation intervention targeting medication adherence in older adults with HF enrolled in cardiac rehabilitation (CR). The purpose of this feasibility study is to test methodology to aid development of a subsequent randomized controlled pilot trial to examine preliminary efficacy.
The objective is to study in a prospective, interventional, single arm, cohort study the potential synergistic diuretic effect of empagliflozin, in addition to furosemide, in hypervolemic patients admitted with acutely decompensated heart failure and diuretic resistance at the McGill University Health Centre (MUHC). The investigators hypothesize that the sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitor empagliflozin will enhance the diuretic effect of furosemide in patients with acutely decompensated heart failure, moderate to advanced chronic kidney disease, and underlying diuretic resistance, as identified by the three-hour urine output post diuretic administration on the first day of the study, compared with furosemide alone.
