Active clinical trials for "Heart Failure"

This proposal is designed to test the hypothesis that humans shift to reliance on ketone bodies as a cardiac fuel source during the development of HF. The investigator also propose that this shift to ketone utilization can be detected by metabolomic profiling of blood. Specific Aim 1: To determine if the failing human heart exhibits increased extraction of blood-borne ketone bodies. Ketone bodies will be measured in coronary sinus, arterial, and central venous blood samples to determine AV differences. The HF group will be comprised of patients undergoing cardiac resynchronization therapy with an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator. The Control group will be compromised of patients without evidence of structural heart disease who are undergoing catheter ablation for supraventricular tachycardia. Specific Aim 2: To determine whether blood samples from humans with HF display metabolomic signatures indicative of increased myocardial ketone body utilization. Quantitative targeted metabolomics will be performed on the samples described in Aim 1 to determine if metabolite markers (e.g. C4-OH acylcarnitine, acetylcarnitine, succinate) found to be associated with increased myocardial ketone body oxidation in animal models are increased in the human HF group compared to the controls.

In 50 Patients who are undergoing a planned surgical procedure which require a central venous catheter the diameter of the subclavian vein is measured by ultrasound under 6 different conditions.

The purposes of this study are to confirm that the Freedom Driver System is a suitable pneumatic driver for clinically stable TAH-t subjects, and that patients and lay caregivers can be trained to manage the Freedom Driver System safely outside the hospital.

A prospective, multi-center, single-arm study. This study will enroll a maximum of 35 subjects treated with the Revivent TC System.

Novartis has set up this global Multiple Patient Program (MPP) treatment plan to provide access to life-saving treatment with LCZ696 for patients that were not previously exposed to LCZ696 but have no other option to receive LCZ696 in their country prior to market authorization OR commercial availability, based on local regulatory and legal requirements.

Objective: The purpose of this project is to study the post miyocardial infaction (MI) damage and subsequently developed post-infarct cardiac repair process on the basis of cellular, molecular and imaging techniques. Besides this, whole genomesequencing and analysis (GWAS) will be performed to determine common varying genetic loci in order to anticipate whetherthese findings and its related pathways would be the predictors of adverse remodeling after MI or not.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) were associated with acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients with heart failure. In addition, the investigators would like to assess the risk of admission for acute decompensated heart failure following exposure to NSAIDs within 30 days.

The purpose of this study is to assess clinical characteristics, treatment, and outcome of patients hospitalized with heart failure in China and compared those with other registries

The influence of different doses of edoxaban on physical characteristics of the clot and thrombin generation kinetics in blood samples will be studied by in vitro spiking of blood samples collected from patients treated for heart failure (with and without hypercoagulability) and from healthy volunteers (with and without hypercoagulability). This in vitro experiment will help us to: (i) detect qualitative anticlotting properties of edoxaban. (ii) quantify the anticlotting properties of edoxaban.

Heart failure (HF) is a serious chronic disease with frequent readmissions, some of which can be prevented by early action. The management of HF is complex: long, often difficult and costly. In France, nearly one million people suffer from HF and 120,000 new cases are diagnosed every year. With the aging population, this number will continue to evolve and become a real public health problem. Within 10 to 20 years ahead, WHO projects that heart failure in either the 3 most common diseases in industrialized countries. The objective of the project is to test an intelligent platform for monitoring at home, using non-intrusive sensors, patients with heart failure, particularly those with stage II and III NYHA. It will assist the medical automating the processing of information from these sensors to detect and report an early stage risk situations. Patient monitoring, by a system of telemedicine tools associated with motivation and education helps significantly reduce the number of days of hospitalization becomes important when the patient is hospitalized for acute HF.
