View clinical trials related to Acute Heart Failure.
Filter by:Dynamic variations of bio-impedance measured cardiac output using non pharmacologic intervention (sitting position, passive leg rising and valsalva maneuver) could be used to detect acute heart failure in patients admitted to the ED for dyspnea.
Safety and performance evaluation of the Doraya catheter in patients admitted with AHF.
The HILO-HF Registry is a single centre registry that will be performed to provide information on the usual baseline oxygen saturation (SpO2) in patients presenting to ED with a primary ED diagnosis of AHF
LEDA (Lithuanian Echocardiography study of Dyspnea in Acute settings) is a prospective observational cohort multicenter clinical study. Project is carried out by Vilnius University together with a partner Lithuanian University of Health Sciences, in conjunction with a research protocol of international GREAT consortium (Global Research on Acute Conditions Team). The aim of this project is to find the specific novel biomarkers of acute heart failure (AHF), to evaluate their diagnostic and prognostic role in association with echocardiographic parameters of AHF. Primary endpoint is 1-year all-cause mortality and rehospitalization. Secondary endpoints are 1) in-hospital all-cause mortality 2) post-discharge 1 and 3 month all-cause mortality and rehospitalization 3) post-discharge 1 and 3 month cardiovascular mortality and rehospitalization 4) one-year cardiovascular mortality and rehospitalization. During the project a sizeable national database (2000 Lithuanian patients) will be integrated into database of GREAT network. Novel cardiac biomarkers together with ultrasound parameters of right ventricular (RV) function are in the focus of the study. During the acute phase of heart failure, up to 15 novel cardiac, vascular, renal impairment and inflammation biomarkers in plasma samples will be investigated in Lithuania and France (INSERM laboratory). Plasma samples will be taken during 4 hours after admission and frozen at -80ºC to allow batch analysis. The extensive evaluation of innovative ultrasound parameters of right ventricular structure and function will be performed in the early hospitalization period, along with standard echocardiography examination. The first database of AHF patients in Lithuania will provide demographic data and trends of morbidity and mortality, as well as analysis of diagnostic and prognostic value of novel biomarkers and echocardiography parameters in the Baltic region. Quantitative parameters of RV systolic function and deformation will be measured. It is expected that optimal use of novel biomarkers and reproducible echocardiography parameters in the setting of emergency and critical care would reduce unnecessary hospitalizations, cost and hospital length of stay without decrease in the quality of diagnostics and treatment. An estimation of correlation of echocardiographic parameters and biomarkers could help create an accurate algorithm for risk stratification and diagnosis of AHF in an emergency setting.
The Pilot study is designed to evaluate the overall safety and feasibility of a strategy based on subcutaneous delivery of furosemide. It will be used to inform the subsequent evaluation phase of the study (separate protocol). The primary objective of the study is to determine if a strategy of a novel subcutaneous delivery of furosemide is safe and feasible in patients with acute heart failure.
This project deals with exercise in acute heart failure in three different groups (conventional medical treatment; exercise with non-invasive ventilation and exercise with placebo of non-invasive ventilation).
The purpose of this study is to determine the prevalence of moderate-to-severe Mitral Regurgitation (MR) in acute Heart Failure (HF) patients requiring hospital admission.
The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of in-hospital initiation of sacubitril/valsartan (LCZ696) vs. enalapril on time averaged proportional change in NT-proBNP in patients who have been stabilized following hospitalization for acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) and reduced ejection fraction (left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≤ 40%).
This is an observational study of the functional capacity of patients with Heart failure with Reduced Ejection Fraction (HFrEF) who are admitted to the hospital for routine medical treatment.
this study aim to investigate the: - association of RAAS polymorphisms and AHF - association of MMP 3 and 12 polymorphisms and AHF
