Filter by:Development of pacing induced cardiomyopathy (PICM) is correlated to a high morbidity as signified by an increase in heart failure admissions and mortality. At present a lack of data leads to a failure to identify patients who are at risk of PICM and would benefit from pre-selection to physiological pacing. In the light of the foregoing, there is an urgent need for novel non-invasive detection techniques which would aid risk stratification, offer a better understanding of the prevalence and incidence of PICM in individuals with pacing devices and the contribution of additional risk factors.
The study seeks to explore the implementation characteristics (acceptability, appropriateness, feasibility, adoption, fidelity, penetration, implementation cost and sustainability) of systematic echocardiography in nursing homes and its impact on rates of heart failure flare-up and unscheduled hospitalization at 12 months among included nursing homes.
The purpose of the current investigation is to demonstrate the efficacy of high-dose furosemide plus small-volume hypertonic saline solution and a Sodium-Glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitor among patients admitted for acute exacerbation of heart failure, in determining a significant increase in diuresis and natriuresis. It is also accompanied by a rapid reduction in body weight and a substantial decrease in hospitalization length without compromising renal function.
People with type 1 diabetes sometimes develop heart failure which can cause symptoms like breathlessness, tiredness or ankle swelling, reduced quality of life and lead to being admitted to hospital or suffering potential fatal consequences. This trial is investigating if a tablet called sotagliflozin, can improve quality of life in people with type 1 diabetes and heart failure. In addition, this trial will also assess the safety and tolerability of sotagliflozin in this population. In previous trials that included people with type 2 diabetes and heart failure sotagliflozin was shown to improve patients' symptoms of heart failure, quality of life and reduce the chance of people with heart failure being admitted to hospital or dying. However, people with type 1 diabetes and heart failure were not included in these trials meaning that it is not known if these benefits also apply to this population. This trial aims to recruit 320 people with type 1 diabetes and heart failure symptoms in multiple sites in the United Kingdom (UK). This trial will compare the health and quality of life of participants who take sotagliflozin tablets with participants who take placebo tablets, which is a dummy tablet that looks the same as sotagliflozin. Participants will be randomly allocated to one of two groups (i.e. one taking sotagliflozin and the other the placebo) and both the medical team and participants will not know in which group each participant is until the end of the study. Participants will be in the trial for approximately 6 months and will be given sotagliflozin or placebo tablets to take 1 per day for 4 months. The trial is expected to run for a total of 26 months.
Mild cognitive impairment is highly prevalent in patients with heart failure and results in poor well-being and quality of life. While yoga has proven effective in promoting cognitive health in older adults through its gentle movements, controlled breathing, and meditation, its effects on patients with heart failure remain unknown. Therefore, this feasibility and pilot study plans to deliver a 12-week yoga intervention and test its effects on cognitive function in patients with heart failure and mild cognitive impairment.
Background. Treatment with intravenous iron has been shown to improve symptoms, functional capacity, and quality of life in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and iron deficiency. However, the mechanisms underlying these beneficial effects remain unknown. SGLT2i seem to alter hematocrit and other hematological markers or iron content. This study aims to measure cardiac magnetic resonance changes in myocardial iron content and in left ventricular function after administration of intravenous iron with and without the concomitant use of SGLT2 inhibitor in patients with HFrEF and iron deficiency.
This pilot study will test the feasibility of a novel digital health technology-enabled platform, HekaHeart, developed to facilitate comprehensive medical management, including medication initiation, titration, e-prescription eligibility, remote patient monitoring, and communication of care coordination activities, for patients with Heart Failure with Reduced Ejection Fraction (HFrEF) not currently on all four pillars of guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT).
The primary objective of this study is to monitor the safety and tolerability of vericiguat.
Tne aim purpose of this observational, multicentre and propective study is to determine the prevalence of cardiac amyloidosis in geriatric patients aged 80 years and older hospitalized within the last 12 months for heart failure with left ventricular hypertrophy (septum ≥ 12 mm) on echocardiography
This study will be conducted to determine the efficacy and safety of lactoferrin versus oral iron versus lactoferrin plus oral iron as an add on therapy in reduced ejection fraction heart failure patients with iron deficiency. •Patients will be randomly distributed into the three groups - All patients will be subjected to baseline data assessment - Follow up after 12 weeks
