Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine whether Allogeneic Cardiosphere-Derived Cells (CAP-1002) is safe and effective in decreasing infarct size in patients with a myocardial infarction.
This is a multi-center prospective registry of patients with an ejection fraction (EF) ≤ 35% following coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery in order to test the hypothesis that wearable defibrillators (WD) will decrease overall mortality after discharge by decreasing arrhythmic death in this select population with high risk for sudden cardiac death (SCD). This is a pilot project to determine the feasibility of a larger-scale study.
The purpose of the INOVATE-HF study is to demonstrate the long-term safety and efficacy of vagus nerve stimulation with the CardioFit® system for the treatment of subjects with Heart Failure.
The aim of this study is to assess whether single oral doses of Riociguat safely improve the cardiovascular function in patients with pulmonary hypertension associated with left ventricular diastolic dysfunction
The aim of this study is to assess whether oral Riociguat affects the left ventricular contractility and relaxation in patients with pulmonary hypertension associated with left ventricular systolic dysfunction
Study to assess the efficacy of intramyocardial bone marrow derived mononuclear cell therapy concerning left ventricular ejection fraction as measured by echocardiography.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether acadesine is effective in reducing the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular adverse events in high-risk participants undergoing CABG surgery.
Heart attacks are a leading cause of death in both men and women in the United States. When a person has a heart attack, blood is unable to reach a certain area of the heart, and if the blood supply is not re-established quickly, that area of the heart can suffer permanent damage. While recovery from a heart attack can be managed through medications and lifestyle changes, these treatments can not reverse the original damage to the heart. Current research is focusing on the development of cell-based therapies using stem cells to repair organs that have been irreversibly damaged by disease. A specific form of stem cells, called adult mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), has shown promise for heart repair. This study will evaluate the safety and effectiveness of injecting MSCs into the heart to repair and restore heart function in people who have had a heart attack and who are having heart surgery for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).
The purpose of Study 20060172 was to measure echocardiographic parameters and biomarkers in a subgroup of study subjects enrolled in Study 20050222 (the RED-HF Trial). This substudy 20060172 was terminated early due to feasibility constraints. All subjects enrolled in 20060172 were also enrolled in Study 20050222, which is ongoing. Study data will be analyzed when Study 20050222 ends, since unblinding before then would adversely affect Study 20050222.
Recent ACC/AHA/ESC guidelines recommend prophylactic ICD implantation in most patients with coronary heart disease and LVEF < 40%. Current Canadian guidelines recommend ICDs for primary prophylaxis in CAD patients with LVEF < 30% (Class I recommendation). There are very sparse data to recommend ICD implantation in patients with EF between 30 and 40 %. This study will randomize patients with CHD and an EF between 30 and 40% to ICD therapy vs. No ICD therapy. The primary outcome is mortality and the study is powered as a non-inferiority trial to test the hypothesis that mortality in patients with no ICD is not more than 1% greater (absolute yearly increase) than patients receiving an ICD.
