Filter by:This study is designed to understand the impact of providing patient-specific cost at the time of the clinical encounter on decision-making for heart failure medications. The researchers will provide patients with heart failure with patient-specific cost information for non-generic heart failure medications. This cost information will be populated onto a checklist of recommended HF medications so that patients and their clinicians will have this information available during their clinical encounter. Patients in the control arm will receive the same checklist but without the cost information.
This is a single arm, multicenter, observational study in Japanese chronic heart failure patients.
The study is a multi-center, prospective, non-randomized, observational study to collect data to develop and validate a machine learning algorithm for early detection of worsening heart failure events using multi-parametric sensor data from wearable data capture device The VESTA study will enroll up to 552 subjects in up to 25 centers in order to collect data on a total of at least 56 worsening heart failure events (independently adjudicated hospitalizations or unscheduled intravenous administration of decongestive drugs).The duration of follow-up per participant will be between 3-6 months.
The purpose is to evaluate the renal denervation system (PRDS-001) for controlling sympathetic nerve over-activation in patients with heart failure, and for its safety in such patients.
The STABELISE-HF is an investigator initiated, international, multicentre feasibility study that will investigate the use of a web application called SanaCoach Heart failure in patients with chronic heart failure. SanaCoach heart failure provides patient education, systematic self-monitoring, a care plan repository and facilitates correspondence with patient's care provider.
Patient non-adherence to treatment recommendations is common and decreases the effectiveness of Chronic Heart Failure (CHF) treatment. Improving adherence towards medication intake, physical activity, symptom monitoring/management might prolong life, alleviates symptoms, increases quality of life, and reduces hospital admissions. The Adherence Improving self-management Strategy (AIMS) is a nurse delivered intervention, integrated in routine clinical care, aiming to better support patients in their treatment. AIMS has previously been demonstrated to be (cost) effective amongst HIV patients. Based on the literature and advisory boards with healthcare providers and CHF patients, AIMS is adapted to CHF (AIMS-CHF). The aim of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the AIMS intervention on adherence regarding medication, physical activity, and symptom management compared to treatment-as-usual in patients with chronic heart failure.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate safety and performance of AquaPass System for enhancing fluid transfer through the skin, by increased sweat rate, in edematous patients.
Splanchnic vasoconstriction may contribute to decompensation of chronic heart failure (HF) via volume redistribution from the splanchnic vascular bed to the central compartment. This is a sympathetically mediated reflex and can be interrupted through a splanchnic nerve block (SNB). We hypothesize that interruption of the efferent/afferent innervation of the splanchnic vasculature will decrease cardiac congestion in patients presenting with HF. Based on preliminary safety and efficacy data in acute and chronic heart failure patients with temporary (<24 h) SNB. Now we will apply a prolonged SNB in chronic heart failure patients using a long acting agent. We will test the effects of SNB on long term exercise capacitance.
A feasibility RCT comprising two groups: 1. Intervention (SELF-BREATHE in addition to standard NHS care) 2. Control group (standard / currently available NHS care)
It is well known fact, that prediabetes is a predictor of high cardiovascular mortality, increasing the risk of developing such adverse cardiovascular events as myocardial infarction, stroke and sudden cardiac death. The key pathogenetic link in development of carbohydrates metabolism disorders (CMD) is insulin resistance (IR), which is one of the crucial mechanisms for the development and progression of chronic heart failure (CHF). IR disrupts the functioning of the myocardium due to endothelial dysfunction, inflammation, oxidative stress, remodeling and impaired myocardial metabolism. In condition of a combination of CMD and CHF the reverse development of hyperglycemia is also difficult due to hyperactivation of neurohormonal systems - renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, in particular. So, drug therapy should neutralize the undesirable metabolic effects of hyperglycemia on the course of CHF, as well as prevent the development of micro- and macrovascular complications. The study will investigate the ability of metformin to impact on clinical and laboratory (neurohormonal, lipid profiles, renal function) parameters of ischemic etiology heart failure patients with prediabetes, as well as their quality of life and prognosis (incidence of adverse cardiovascular events). These tests will be assessed at the beginning and repeated after one year. At the end of the study we will investigate the difference between lifestyle modification effect and metformin treatment. The study is funded by Ministry of Education and Science of Kyrgyz Republic.
