Individuals with heart disease and depressive symptoms suffer from higher death rates, higher rates of acute cardiac events (such as heart attacks), and faster progression of heart disease compared to those with heart disease who do not have depressive symptoms, and these problems are much worse in rural people. Unfortunately, rural people with heart disease and depressive symptoms do not receive needed therapy for depressive symptoms because of lack of mental health providers in rural areas, worries about stigma, and difficulty accessing mental health care because of multiple barriers to traveling to get care. To overcome these barriers, the investigators will compare the impact of two types of online cognitive behavioral therapy (video-conferenced face-to-face versus self-administered internet-based) and usual care on depressive symptoms to provide patients and healthcare providers with needed information about which is more effective and to increase the number of patients adequately treated.
This study involves collecting serum samples from patients presenting for aortic valve replacement at Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN. Serum samples will be collected pre-op, between 2 weeks and 3 months, between 3-11 months (optional), and between 12-18 months post-operatively. The patients antibodies in these serum samples will be used to capture proteins from the same type of tissue their replacement heart valves are made from (i.e., bovine/porcine pericardium - a non-human tissue which is currently used to make glutaraldehyde-fixed heart valves). The captured proteins will be identified, and compared over time (i.e., 0, 1, 3 and 12 months) to determine which proteins (i.e., antigens) in bovine/porcine pericardium that the patient is mounting an immune response towards.
The purpose of this study is to assess whether the use of physiology parameters as guidance post-percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) is associated with less risks of target vessel failure (TVF) and angina-related events than standard angiographic guidance.
Researchers want to better understand what happens to the heart when the autologous (from one's own body) stem cells are injected directly into muscle of the right side of the heart during the Fontan (Stage III) surgery. They want to see if there are changes in the electrical activity, the structure, and the function of the heart following this stem cell-based therapy. Researchers will compare the results from people who receive the stem cells to the results from people who do not receive the stem cells.

The International Study of Comparative Health Effectiveness with Medical and Invasive Approaches (ISCHEMIA) Extended Follow-up (ISCHEMIA-EXTEND) is the long-term follow-up of randomized, surviving participants in ISCHEMIA. ISCHEMIA was an NHLBI-supported trial that randomized 5,179 participants with stable ischemic heart disease to two different management strategies: 1) an initial invasive strategy (INV) of cardiac catheterization and revascularization when feasible plus guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT), or 2) an initial conservative strategy (CON) of GDMT. The trial did not demonstrate a reduction in the primary endpoint with an initial invasive strategy. There was an excess of procedural myocardial infarction (MI) and a reduction in spontaneous MI in the INV group. Prior evidence suggests that spontaneous MI carries a higher risk of subsequent death than procedural MI. There was a late separation in the cardiovascular (CV) mortality curves over a median of 3.2 years follow-up in ISCHEMIA. The MI incidence curves crossed at approximately 2 years. However, during the trial follow-up phase there were excess non-CV deaths in the invasive strategy. Therefore, it is imperative to ascertain long-term vital status to provide patients and clinicians with robust evidence on whether there are differences between management strategies and to increase precision around the treatment effect estimates for risk of all-cause, CV and non-CV death over the long-term. Overarching Goal: To assess the effect of an initial invasive strategy on long-term all-cause, CV and non-CV mortality compared with an initial conservative strategy in SIHD patients with at least moderate ischemia on stress testing, over 10 years median follow-up.

The main objective of this prospective cohort study is to assess arrhythmia burden and glycemic variability in a multicenter cohort of patients with end-stage renal disease using a sufficient observation period in order to identify arrhythmia burden and type and characterize associations with patient characteristics and dialysis treatment, glycemic variability and subsequent risk of adverse outcomes.
