Filter by:The diagnosis of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction has so far been made primarily according to criteria determined by echocardiography, or invasively by measuring the left ventricular filling pressures. Increasingly, CMR is also evaluated with regard to the diagnosis of cardiac insufficiency with preserved pump function.However, it is still unclear which parameters can be used meaningfully for diagnostics.To answer this question, the investigators want to retrospectively evaluate data collected from patients with a clinical indication for CMR and coronary angiography.
This is a prospective, randomized, controlled clinical trial in which participants with NYHA class II or III and symptomatic Heart Failure with reduced Ejection Fraction (HFrEF) (Ejection Fraction (EF) ≤ 45%) will be assigned to one of two treatment groups: standard of care or breathing therapy.
Exercise training is an effective therapy for patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. However, it is unclear, whether a one-year intervention has a sustainable effect beyond the active study phase. Hence, this study is a long-term follow-up of patients that were recruited for the OptimEx-Clin and Ex-DHF trials in Munich.
To determine whether an integrated AI decision support can save time and improve accuracy of assessment of echocardiograms, the investigators are conducting a blinded, randomized controlled study of AI guided measurements of left ventricular ejection fraction compared to sonographer measurements in preliminary readings of echocardiograms.
Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors generally and empagliflozin specifically have shown cardiovascular benefits in patients with heart failure (HF), but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Empagliflozin use resulted in lower pulmonary artery diastolic pressures in patients with HF, suggesting a beneficial diuretic effect. Other potential mechanisms include increased blood volume, decreased blood pressure, and changes in sympathetic and neuro-hormonal activation. This study is a single-arm, open label, prospective interventional study of 8 subjects with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Before and after 12 weeks of daily empagliflozin, participants with undergo comprehensive invasive exercise testing with a right heart catheter. Our goal is to evaluate the effects of empagliflozin on fitness, assessed by peak VO2, and peak left ventricular filling pressure, assessed by pulmonary capillary pressure at peak exercise.
This study explores whether spermidine supplementation improves the metabolic, neurological-cognitive and cardiovascular response to structured exercise training in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. The investigators aim to show that a faster adaptation to exercise may improve long term adherence to a more active lifestyle.
The AIM HIGHer Clinical Trial will evaluate the safety and efficacy of Cardiac Contractility Modulation (CCM) therapy in patients with heart failure with LVEF ≥40% and ≤60%.
Heart Failure (HF) is a complex disease associated with the highest burden of cost to the healthcare system. The cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) is instrumental in determining the prognosis of patients with HF. This study will evaluate whether aggregate biometric data from the Apple Watch combined with demographic, cardiac, and biomarker testing can improve our ability to predict heart failure outcomes among a diverse ambulatory HF population
In a prospective cohort study (n = 1.000), the investigators aim to investigate the correlation between cardiac biomarkers and advanced echocardiography and determine whether these are prognostic markers of heart disease in patients suffering from psoriasis.
The MyoMobile study is a single-center, randomized, controlled three-armed cohort study with prospective data collection to investigate the effect of a personalized mobile health intervention compared to usual care on the physical activity levels in patients with heart failure and preserved ejection fraction.
