Active clinical trials for "Heart Failure"

Plasma specimen collected from patients presenting in the Emergency Department (ED) with or without Heart Failure (HF) and prescribed a BNP.

Establishing the association between biological markers and exercise capacity in continuous-flow left ventricular assist device patients.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the patient characteristics, selection of treatment, and factors associated with clinical outcomes in Japanese patients with acutely decompensated congestive heart failure.

StiffMAP-HFpEF trial is an investigator initiated, observational, single-center study that will evaluate whether fibrosis quantification by cardiac MRI correlates with left and right ventricular stiffness derived from pressure-volume analysis, aiming to clarify if cardiac MRI is a valid, non-invasive method to assess diastolic function in patients with Heart Failure with preserved ejection fraction.

The purpose of this study is to compose a national database of the etiologies, clinical and demographic characteristics, using diagnostic tests, precipitating and risk factors, management of from intensive care unit or coronary care unit to hospital discharge, length of stay in the intensive care unit and hospital, in-hospital mortality and discharge medications of hospitalized acute heart failure patients in Turkish population.

The purpose of the LINQ™ HF study is to characterize Reveal LINQ™ derived data from patients with heart failure by assessing the relationship between changes in LINQ™ derived data and other physiologic parameters with subsequent acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) events.

Heart failure is a major health care burden. It can occur with either normal or reduced LV ejection fraction, depending on different degrees of ventricular remodelling. The investigators recently published a new method, curvedness-based imaging. The investigators have also reported the diagnostic utility of curvedness-based imaging in various cardiac diseases. The investigators now propose to prospectively assess curvedness-based imaging for diagnosis of heart failure with normal ejection fraction and with reduced ejection fraction, and examine left ventricular systolic and diastolic function and predicts the prognosis in a cohort of HF patients.

Prophylactic substrate ablation in post-MI patients undergoing defibrillator implantation reduces appropriate defibrillator therapies.

To adapt and refine the BodyGuardian remote health monitoring system to acquire ECG, Heart rate (HR), activity and breathing data, which will be integrated with weight, blood pressure and symptom data, in subjects in an independent living center, with wireless transmission of data to a central data analysis hub.

ALERT-HF is an observational study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic criteria adopted and the adherence to the current therapeutic guidelines in a large series of patients affected with chronic heart failure. Secondary objective is to evaluate the prevalence of chronic heart failure among all the patients referring to the ambulatory cardiologists of the healthcare district.
