Muscle, Essential Amino Acids, and eXercise in Heart Failure

Heart FailureDiastolic

Half of heart failure patients have preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Like patients with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), HFpEF patients suffer from exercise intolerance (low VO2max), which reduces physical function, quality of life, and survival. Strikingly, there is no medication proven to increase survival for HFpEF patients. Whereas exercise intolerance in HFrEF patients is the result of cardiovascular limitations, physical dysfunction in HFpEF patients is largely the result of peripheral abnormalities in skeletal muscle. Indeed, research in HFpEF patients identified that physical function and VO2peak are directly related to leg lean mass, and drugs focused on improving cardiovascular function have failed to improve VO2peak. Unfortunately, no therapy has been identified for this population that can concurrently improve cardiovascular and muscle health. The need for improved muscle therapies is reinforced by the fact that HFpEF patients are commonly older adults who are predisposed to muscle wasting. Strategic essential amino acid (EAA) ingestion has been shown to improve the adaptive response of muscle to exercise. Therefore, the investigators will determine, in HFpEF patients, the extent to which ingesting a strategic mixture of EAAs during an acute aerobic exercise training program enhances the response to this exercise strategy.

A Randomized Trial of Udenafil Therapy in Patients With Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction...

Diastolic Heart Failure

The investigators hypothesized that udenafil, a newly developed phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitor, would improve symptom, exercise capacity and hemodynamic status in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).

Mathematical Modeling to Determine Basic Muscle Properties in the Failing Heart

Diastolic Heart Failure

According to the most recent information released by the American Heart Association, heart failure affects 5.8 million Americans and over 23 million people worldwide. In particular, diastolic heart failure (DHF) has emerged in approximately half of those suffering from heart disease and has become a major public health problem for many reasons, including the complexity of the disease, lack of effective drugs/therapies, requirement of invasive tests to diagnose and monitor DHF, and the absence of a suitable scientific model to study the disease. Scientists and physicians alike still do not fully understand what happens to the muscles in the heart (myocardium) patients who present with diastolic dysfunction or DHF. Therefore, the medical field is in need of an accurate model that can evaluate how diastolic dysfunction leads to heart failure and what happens at a cellular level as this disease emerges and progresses.

Diastolic Heart Failure Management by Nifedipine

Diastolic Heart Failure

Patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction have a equally high risk for mortality and re-hospitalization as those with reduced ejection fraction. Effective management strategies are critically needed to be established for this type of heart failure. These patients have more hypertensive and ischemic etiology than those with reduced ejection fraction. The investigators hypothesis is that Ca channel blocker nifedipine can improve the heart failure clinical composite response endpoint compared with the conventional treatment in patients with heart failure with hypertension and/or coronary artery disease and preserved ejection fraction (>=50%) by echocardiography. This study is multi-center, prospective, randomized, open-label, and blinded-endpoint design.

ST2 for the Management of Heart Failure - STADE-HF

Heart FailureDiastolic Heart Failure1 more

Heart failure (HF) is a severe disease, burdened with a poor prognosis (30% mortality at 2 years, 30% of rehospitalization within 1 month). It is also a major cause of health burden representing between 1.5 and 2 billions euros per year in France. Approximately 75% of these costs are due to hospitalization. Besides physical examination and echocardiography, biology may help refine the diagnosis, but also could provide powerful prognostic parameters. This study aims to assess the value of ST2 in the management of patients admitted for HF to reduce readmission at one month.

Safety and Efficacy Study of AI LVEF

Heart FailureSystolic2 more

To determine whether an integrated AI decision support can save time and improve accuracy of assessment of echocardiograms, the investigators are conducting a blinded, randomized controlled study of AI guided measurements of left ventricular ejection fraction compared to sonographer measurements in preliminary readings of echocardiograms.

The Metabolic Road to Diastolic Heart Failure: Diastolic Heart Failure Study

Diastolic Heart Failure

The main objective is to replicate the validation of omics biomarkers of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in patients with metabolic syndrome. The aim was to recruit overall 750 patients in Europe (100 for France). Currently, 625 patients were enrolled in Europe and 47 in France.

CMR Exercise Stress Testing in HFpEF

Diastolic Heart Failure

Patients of the University Hospital Göttingen with echocardiographic signs for diastolic heart failure and indication for right heart catheterisation will undergo additional diagnostic testing with CMR including exercise stress for detailed evaluation of diastolic dysfunction and tissue characterisation correlating the results with well-established clinical standards.
