Filter by:Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer among Canadian women with nearly 26,000 new cases diagnosed each year. Fortunately, advancements in diagnostic tools and curative treatments have significantly improved overall survival. However, the development of cardiac toxicity (including asymptomatic and symptomatic heart failure) associated with use of anthracycline containing chemotherapy and targeted therapies including trastuzumab limits improvements in survival for women with breast cancer. Cardiac toxicity is a life threatening complication that leads to reduced physical functioning and quality of life. The increased risk is associated with shared risk factors among cancer and heart failure and the direct influence of cancer therapy on the cardiovascular system. Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) (including exercise training and education/counselling) has been shown to improve health outcomes, reduce heart failure related hospitalizations and modestly improve mortality among individuals with non-treatment related heart failure and may benefit women with breast cancer and treatment related cardiac toxicity (BC-CT). Therefore, this single centre, randomized control trial aims to determine if participation in an exercise based CR program can improve cardiorespiratory fitness, cardiovascular function/structure and health, and quality of life among women with BC-CT.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether multiple gated acquisition (MUGA) guided lead placement improves clinical outcomes for patients needing cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) compared to traditional posterolateral left ventricular lead placement.
Prospective, multi-center, post-market, non-randomized, nested-control, observational study of the CE marked CardioKinetix Parachute Implant System.
The purpose of the INOVATE-HF study is to demonstrate the long-term safety and efficacy of vagus nerve stimulation with the CardioFit® system for the treatment of subjects with Heart Failure.
This trial is a prospective, multi-center, randomized study of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and mild to moderate left ventricular (LV) dysfunction. The primary objective of this study is to test the hypothesis that Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) therapy in combination with medical therapy in patients with an infarct size greater than or equal to 10% of the left ventricular mass improves long term survival compared to medical therapy alone. In addition to the 2-arm randomized trial, the study will also include a non-investigational registry of non-randomized patients.
