Filter by:The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of two doses of nesiritide (a recombinant form of the natural human peptide normally secreted by the heart in response to heart failure) when administered serially as a treatment to outpatients with worsening congestive heart failure (decompensated CHF) who are receiving their usual cardiac medications and are at high risk for hospitalization.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether 48 hours of glucagon-like-peptide-1 (GLP-1) infusion can improve heart function and alter substrate metabolism in non-diabetic patients with heart failure.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether glucocorticoids have potent diuretic effects in patients with congestive heart failure.
The aim of this study is to test the impact of the managed ventricular pacing (MVP) mode and atrial preventive and antitachycardia pacing therapies on the reduction of a composite clinical outcome composed of any death, permanent atrial fibrillation, and cardiovascular hospitalizations.
This trial is a single center, open-label, dose-finding study of recombinant human relaxin (rhRlx) given intravenously (IV) to patients with stable, compensated CHF.
The study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of intravenous infusion of carperitide using pressure measurements inside the heart and great vessels and measuring carperitide concentration in the blood.
Congestive heart failure (CHF) is a common health problem that leads to frequent hospitalizations and an increased death rate. In spite of advances in drug therapy, it remains a significant public health problem. Recently, a new therapy has been developed for advanced heart failure patients with a ventricular conduction abnormality. This new therapy, called cardiac resynchronization (CRT), is a device which stimulates the atrium, the right ventricle, and the left ventricle providing synchronization of the contraction of the heart chambers. It is the addition of this therapy to an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) that will be evaluated in this study. This study will compare whether the implantation of this new therapy device, in combination with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator, will reduce total mortality and hospitalizations for CHF.
To understand how depression leads to congestive heart failure (CHF) in older adults.
The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of rosuvastatin (up-titrated to a dose of 40mg/day) compared to placebo on cardiac remodelling, estimated by change in left ventricular ejection fraction on radionuclide ventriculography, at 26 weeks post randomisation from baseline.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether intracoronary bone marrow transplantation can improve left ventricular ejection fraction in patients with severe ischemic heart failure and no other option for standard therapies (revascularization and drugs).
