Filter by:To evaluate the concept of dynamic pump speed optimization based on the echocardiographic assessment of aortic valve opening during cardiopulmonary exercise test.
To retrospectively investigate the effect of physical therapy intervention on improving physical function of patients post left ventricular assist device (LVAD) through electronic medical record survey
To prove the novel device is able to reliably detect pulsatility in patients with CF-VADs and to analyze whether pre-programmed intrinsic pulsatility of the 3rd generation CF-VADs can also be picked up. The study is not designed to measure blood pressure. Should this pilot study be successful in detecting enough pulsatility a follow-up study would then try to transfer the results into blood-pressure values with the help of comparators in order to identify an easier and more reliable method to measure BP in CF-VAD patients. .
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.
This study evaluates two different methods for monitoring a patient's anti-clotting [heparin] therapy after they receive a heart pump implant [left ventricular assist device -LVAD]. One method tests for how long it takes the patient's blood to clot and uses that to determine if they are on the right dose of heparin. The other method uses a more direct measure of how much heparin is in the blood. The hypothesis is that the method that more directly measures how much heparin is in the patient's blood will provide better medical results for the patient's care after they have the heart pump implant. To that end, the investigators are conducting this feasibility trial to establish the logistics associated with the implementation of these heparin monitoring approaches.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of a Percutaneous Lead Management Kit for HeartMate II driveline stabilization and exit site management.
The purpose of this observational study is to obtain multi-center data on HeartMate II (HMII) patients managed with reduced anticoagulation or anti-platelet regimes, and the incidence of thrombotic and bleeding adverse events associated with these regimes.
