Active clinical trials for "Heart Diseases"

MulticenterFlow is a prospective, multi-center, registry study. The aim of the study is twofold: To evaluate prognostic implications of coronary microvascular disease (CMD) in patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD) undergoing revascularization decision using fractional flow reserve (FFR) or other non-hyperemic pressure ratios in deferred population To evaluate the efficacy of intravascular imaging-guided optimization to enhance post-revascularization coronary circulatory function, compared with angiography-only guided revascularization in revascularized population.

This registry will provide exploratory and descriptive information regarding contemporary practice patterns of parenteral antiplatelet therapy in the PCI (Percutaneous Coronary Intervention) setting and will investigate as well the short-term effectiveness and safety of the currently available parenteral antiplatelet agents in a cohort of "real-world" patients undergoing PCI in Spain.

The vast majority of cardiac rehabilitation eligible individuals do not participate in center based cardiac rehabilitation (CBCR). While steps to encourage participation in CBCR are important, many individuals will still not participate for a variety of reasons. This randomized controlled trial is evaluating a home-based cardiac rehabilitation (HBCR) intervention delivered using a custom app and digital tools in patients undergoing transcatheter heart valve interventions (THVIs). After a brief roll-in period, participants not intending to participate in CBCR are randomized to one of three groups: (1) control, (2) HBCR mobile health intervention with hands-off delivery, and (3) HBCR mobile health intervention with interactive delivery. Participants in the intervention groups (hands-off/interactive delivery) will also be randomized to continue the intervention for 12 weeks or 24 weeks. The intervention targets key health behaviors and includes traditional cardiac rehabilitation components. The study will assess the effect of the intervention on clinical events, physical activity, quality of life, and other outcomes. Those who intend to participate in CBCR will be followed in a registry.

This study will evaluate a virtual mental health parenting stepped-care intervention (I-InTERACT-North) to determine if the program works to improve positive parenting skills and child behaviour among families with children born with Congenital Heart Disease (CHD). Recruitment will target children ages 3-9 years old from SickKids. We will also evaluate the acceptability and feasibility of the program among children and families to inform future delivery and multi-site trials. Results will evaluate whether I-InTERACT-North can improve parenting and child behaviour in these families and inform future best clinical practices for this population.

In this study, the investigators aim to use data identified through the hospital's integrated medical database and National Health Insurance database to explore the long-term performance and benefits of biological and mechanical valves. This research aims to provide more recommendations and references for valve replacement in different patient populations.

Anomalous aortic origin of a coronary artery (AAOCA) is a group of rare congenital heart defects with various clinical presentations. The lifetime-risk of an individual living with AAOCA is unknown, and data from multicentre registries are urgently needed to adapt current recommendations and guide optimal patient management. The European Registry for AAOCA (EURO-AAOCA) aims to assess differences with regard to AAOCA management between centres.

Patients with chronic coronary syndromes (CCS) diagnosed without significant lesions in invasive coronary angiography (ischemia non-obstructive coronary artery disease - INOCA) represent approximately 50% of all patients with CCS. Results of FAME study clearly showed that evaluation of coronary circulation should not be accomplished only with visual assessment in resting conditions. Current European Society of Cardiology Guidelines of diagnosis and treatment of CCS published in 2019 emphasize the necessity of performing complex coronary physiology assessment. Invasive physiological measurements and vasoreactivity provocative tests emerged as key tools to differentiate between vasospastic angina, microcirculatory angina, overlap of both conditions or non-cardiac disease. According to contemporary literature, identification of heterogeneity of patients with INOCA is crucial for determination of adequate treatment. An appropriate pharmacotherapy has a potential to improve outcomes including grade of angina, quality of life, exertional tolerance and most important - MACCE (major adverse cardiac and cardiovascular events) free survival. However, there is a lack of evidence on each of the subtypes of INOCA especially in those with signs and symptoms of vasospasm in provocative test but without visual spasm in epicardial vessels.

Multicenter, prospective, non-randomized, post-market clinical follow-up (PMCF) study to confirm and support the clinical safety and performance of NC Xperience to meet EU Medical Device regulation (MDR) requirements in all the CONSECUTIVE patients treated with NC Xperience .

The objective of ENVISION is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Navitor Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) System for treating patients with symptomatic, severe native aortic stenosis who are considered intermediate or low risk for surgical mortality.

A prospective, longitudinal, non-comparator, non-randomized observational cohort study to assess the quality of life in adult patients affected by hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and thoracic aortic dilatations who are not amenable to surgery, as well as those affected radiation-induced cardiac disease caused by radiation therapy.
