Filter by:Researchers are looking for a better way to treat heart failure (HF), a condition in which the heart does not pump blood as well as it should. Research has shown that the levels of a hormone called N-terminal proBNP (NT-proBNP) in the body can be used for differential diagnosing of HF. NT-proBNP is released by the heart when there is an increase in heart pressure. The levels of NT-proBNP can indicate whether medical problems are likely to happen due to HF. These medical problems are called "decompensation events." The higher a person's NT-proBNP levels is expected, the higher their risk of developing HF and having decompensation events. So, the researchers in this study want to learn about NT-proBNP levels and decompensation events in German patients with a common type of HF called heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). In patients with HFrEF, the muscle on the left chamber of the heart does not pump blood as well as it should. The researchers will collect information from patients and their health records for about 300 adult patients in Germany with HFrEF who have been receiving standard of care treatment for their condition. Standard of care treatments are treatments that doctors commonly use to treat patients. The researchers will study and record the levels of NT-proBNP levels and any changes in the health of the patients at time of NT-proBNP measurement. The researchers will collect this information between May 2021 and September 2021. The patients in this study : - have had any HF-decompensation event since January 2016 - have had at least 1 NT-proBNP measurement done before the study The researchers will collect the following information about the patients: - the results of NT-proBNP measurements - the date of the NT-proBNP measurements - the number and type of decompensation events
To assess the efficacy of 30 mg of BAY1753011, with or without furosemide, versus furosemide alone in patients with heart failure and objective evidence of congestion.
This study is a prospective, open-label, single-arm intervention study in African-American/Black subjects with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). There will be a 7-day screening period, a 57-day open-label treatment period, and a safety follow-up at day 87 or 30 days after the last administration of the investigational product.
The SchlaHF XT Registry is a longitudinal study of patients with heart failure (HF). The study aims to understand the importance of diagnosis and treatment of sleep disordered breathing (SDB) on HF with the following questions: How often does SDB occur in HF? What forms of SDB occur and how are they treated? How does SDB develop over time? How does the heart failure therapy affect SDB? What is the treatment adherence of patients treated? Does SBD and its treatment affect the survival of heart failure patients?
The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate that in patients with recuperated/normalized left ventricular function, defined as an ejection fraction (EF) ≥ 50%, after implantation of cardiac resynchronization therapy, device treatment is sufficient and neurohumoral blocker therapy can safely be withdrawn
This aim of the study is to investigate the prognostic usefulness of AdreView™ imaging to identify those subjects with New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class II or III HF who will die during 60 months of follow-up from the date of administration of AdreView™ in prior studies MBG311, MBG312, or MBG312C (hereafter included in MBG312).
The aim of the study is to assess the reproducibility of quantitative measurements of myocardial uptake of Iobenguane I 123 on planar and SPECT imaging following intravenous (iv.) administration of AdreView. Efficacy will be assessed based upon the absolute differences between quantitative analyses of imaging data on 2 scans performed 5 to 14 days apart.
