Filter by:The REFORM-HF study aims to test a new technology, AquaPass, designed to assist patients experiencing symptoms of fluid overload due to Heart Failure. Patients will wear a lightweight suit that helps remove excess fluids through their sweat. We want to see if AquaPass can remove an additional 500mL of fluids during treatment, alongside patients' regular medications like diuretics. Participants will select if to be treated at their home or in the outpatient clinic.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test a new type of pacemaker in heart failure patients following a heart bypass operation. The new pacemaker restores respiratory sinus arrhythmia which is a natural pattern where the heart rate increases when the participants breathe in and slows down when participants breathe out. The main questions the trial aims to answer are: - Is the new type of pacemaker safe? - Does the new type of pacemaker improve how patients' hearts work (also known as cardiac output)? Participants will have a range of tests before their operation and during their recovery in hospital while participants have the new type of pacemaker in place, and will be monitored very closely. Participants will also receive a phone call 1 month after their surgery. Researchers will compare the new type of heart pacing against standard treatment to see if it is as safe, and if it is any better for patients.
To verify the efficacy of transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (tVNS) on and autonomic balance in patients with chronic heart failure and reduced (HFrEF) or mildly reduced (HFmrEF) left ventricular ejection fraction. The study hypothesis is that tVNS increases baroreflex gain, with consequent benefits on sympathovagal balance (at short- and mid-term), and on quality of life and bio-humoral parameters (at mid-term).
Low magnesium levels are surprisingly common in those with a heart condition known as HFpEF, where the heart pumps well but is too rigid to fill properly with blood. While routine blood tests can check magnesium levels, they don't tell us how much magnesium is actually inside the heart and muscle cells, where it's vital for energy and overall function. Our research aims to get a clearer picture by looking directly at the magnesium inside these cells and understanding its role in the body's energy production and usage. We're also interested in how magnesium levels affect symptoms and the body's handling of sugar. We're using advanced medical imaging techniques, like heart magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and other heart and muscle function tests, at rest and when the heart is working hard to help answer these questions. We'll compare the magnesium levels inside the cells before and after giving a supplement of magnesium to see if this can make a difference in how the heart and muscles work.
Arterial hypotension is a frequent complication of general anesthesia and a significant contributor to postoperative complications. It is a critical marker for the development of acute renal failure and postoperative myocardial infarction. Chronic heart failure (CHF) patients are increasingly encountered in the operating room, and their perioperative morbidity and mortality are substantial, with specific management lacking precise recommendations. The main objective is to assess the impact of a diluted norepinephrine bolus on cardiac output in chronic heart failure patients experiencing arterial hypotension after anesthesia induction.
The aim of prospective, open label, single center, randomized controlled trial is to investigate the efficacy of enavogliflozin on exercise performance, diastolic dysfunction, and quality of life in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).
We propose a pilot trial examining the effectiveness of a mHealth-based home cardiac rehabilitation program using a telemedicine platform for the identification, recruitment, and retention of an underserved rural population with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction.(HFrEF). The goal of the pilot trial will be to demonstrate the feasibility of a telemedicine platform for the recruitment and retention of underserved rural patients in clinical trials. Participants will participate in a cardiac rehabilitation program delivered through a smartphone application called Movn. They will be monitored for 14 weeks.
Evaluate the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic characteristics of Jia Shen Tablets in patients with Chronic Heart Failure.
This is a 22-subject prospective, multicenter, single-arm clinical trial to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Jarvik 2015 left ventricular assist device (LVAD) as a bridge to heart transplant in children weighing 8 to 30 kilograms. Data generated from the study will be used to support FDA review and potential approval of the device under the Humanitarian Device Exemption (HDE) regulation, the FDA approval pathway for devices intended to treat rare and orphan diseases.
This is a prospective cohort study, where we aim to investigate the effect of implementation of an electronic nudge alerting clinicians to the prescription of the 4 key pharmacological classes for the treatment of patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) at the outpatient clinic in the Netherlands.
