Active clinical trials for "Heart Failure"

The CARE-HK in HF is a registry study based on the hypothesis that adherence to guidelines is associated with improved real-world outcomes for heart failure (HF) patients. For the purpose of this study, adherence to guidelines is defined as 1) adherence to potassium (sK+) monitoring recommendations, and 2) adherence to renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitor (RAASi) treatment recommendations, according to the most current local guidelines at the time of assessment. The study aims to evaluate real-world RAASi treatment patterns in clinical practice compared with the guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) recommendations. Factors associated with patients achieving GDMT will be evaluated to identify potential barriers.

Observational and perspective study with acute and chronic endpoint.

Type 2 diabetes (T2D), especially when associated with metabolic syndrome (MS) is at high risk to develop heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) or heart failure with mildly reduced ejection fraction (HFmrEF), and the specific impact of T2D+MS in cardiac function impairment is usually known as "diabetic cardiomyopathy" (DC). Cardiac remodelling (ie hypertrophy) and subtle myocardial dysfunction are highly prevalent in T2D+MS but not specific enough to predict further HFpEF or HFmrEF. Also, current biomarkers can identify but do not predict HFpEF or HFmrEF in T2D patients; Furthermore, specific biomarkers are needed. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) obtained from a peripheral blood sample can provide insights from calcic and inflammatory pathways, and may identify more specific molecular signatures shared between T2D+MS and HFpEF.

CRT and ICD has known as decreasing cardiac mortality in patient with heart failure. Especially, it has reported that CRT improved cardiac systolic function, quality of life of patients with heart failure. However, CRT and primary ICD was not generalized in Korea. So the investigators will register patients who implant CRT or ICD (primary), and follow them up. During scheduled follow up, all patients will perform echocardiography, 6 minute walking test, EKG, Holter monitoring and questionnaire on QOL.

Several surrogate biomarkers including natriuretic peptide(NP), and growth differentiation factor-15(GDF-15) and ST2 has prognostic significance in heart failure(HF), and reductions in its value may predict clinical improvement. However, there are limited data regarding the prognostic value of these biomarkers during short-term follow-up after discharge in acute decompensated heart failure. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the prognostic value of short-term follow-up surrogate biomarkers for predicting prognosis of hospitalized patients with acute decompensated heart failure.

Medtronic is sponsoring the HFRS PAS to evaluate the HFRS feature (TriageHF) when used in routine clinical practice following commercial release. The HFRS PAS is conducted within Medtronic's Product Surveillance Registry (PSR) platform.

Heart Failure (HF) is a complex disease associated with the highest burden of cost to the healthcare system. The cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) is instrumental in determining the prognosis of patients with HF. This study will evaluate whether aggregate biometric data from the Apple Watch combined with demographic, cardiac, and biomarker testing can improve our ability to predict heart failure outcomes among a diverse ambulatory HF population

To describe the causes mentioned by general practitioners, explaining the under-treatment of the three main treatments for heart failure with impaired ejection fraction (ARS blockers of the type ACEinhibitor/ARA2/ARNi, ß- and/or anti-aldosterone).

The study aims to test the diagnostic accuracy of native T1 mapping for the diagnosis of cardiac amyloidosis prospectively. The hypothesis is that native T1 mapping with a cut-off value of 1341ms (3 tesla CMR) in older patients with symptomatic heart failure, increased LV wall thickness and elevated cardiac biomarkers is non-inferior to the reference method to diagnose cardiac amyloidosis (CA). As secondary measure, a web-based ATTR probability estimator for the diagnosis of CA will be evaluated.

The multicenter Cardiology Monitoring Platform registry (mCMP-registry) is a prospective observational registry including multi-omics (diagnostic) measurements performed as part of routine clinical care, bio-banking (optional), and yearly questionnaires (optional). It's objective is to optimize (early) diagnosis and risk-stratification of (early) cardiovascular diseases, specifically cardiomyopathy phenotypes, arrhythmias, and coronary artery disease, and to create a better understanding of underlying pathophysiological processes.
