Filter by:The objectives of this study are: 1. To evaluate the effect of clonidine, a sympathetic modulator, to reverse cardiac remodeling and to improve hemodynamics in diastolic heart failure (DHF). 2. To evaluate the effect of clonidine on neurohormones and quality of life in patients with DHF. The study is a double-blind, placebo-controlled study evaluating the effects of clonidine compared to placebo in patients with DHF. A total of 70 patients with DHF will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to: 1. placebo (n=35) or to 2. clonidine (n=35) in a dose of 0.075 mg twice a day for the first 6 weeks followed by uptitration to 0.150 mg twice a day for 6 months. The primary outcome is the reversion of cardiac remodeling and hemodynamic parameters evaluated by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and echocardiography.
The purpose of this investigation is to develop a means to improve the recovery of cardiac metabolism and ventricular function following coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) in patients with poor preoperative ventricular function (e.g. ejection fraction <40%).
The aim of this study is to test whether ivabradine is able to reduce cardiovascular events when given to patients with coronary artery disease and impaired heart function.
The purpose of this prospective, randomized, multi-center, pivotal trial is to compare the safety and effectiveness of the off-pump, closed heart Coapsys System (Myocor, Inc.) to open surgical repair of the mitral valve using an annuloplasty ring or band in patients with moderate to severe functional mitral regurgitation.
To determine if enalapril treatment of left ventricular dysfunction (LVD) due to ischemic or hypertensive heart disease led to reduced mortality and morbidity in symptomatic and asymptomatic patients. There were a Prevention Trial, a Treatment Trial, and a registry.
