Active clinical trials for "Heart Failure"

End-of-life (EOL) care for heart failure (HF) patients includes high healthcare utilization and costs, in part due to the lack of integration of optimal HF management and home-based palliative care. In a pilot quality improvement project of clinician "nudges" to enroll seriously ill HF patients in a home-based, integrated HF and palliative care platform, the investigators demonstrated decreased healthcare utilization and costs and increased hospice utilization among seriously ill HF patients. The investigators propose a pragmatic randomized trial for clinicians of seriously ill HF patients admitted to three University of Pennsylvania Health System Hospitals, randomly assigning an opt-in approach (usual care) versus a "nudge" or opt-out approach of a visit from an Advanced Heart Care at Home (AHCAH) liaison to clinicians of eligible patients to discuss and enroll in the AHCAH program, to rigorously and scientifically evaluate clinical, utilization, and cost outcomes among high-risk HF patients at the EOL, and to promote physician uptake of best practices.

Participants in this study will either have heart failure (HF) and are scheduled to undergo pace maker (PM) implantation, cardiac resynchronization therapy pacemaker (CRT-P), cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator (CRT-D) implantation, His bundle pacing (HIBP) or left bundle area pacing (LBAP) (including HIBP/LBAP for patients with HF, for patients who have failed CRT implant or patients who are CRT non-responders), or have atrioventricular (AV) block or bradycardia and are scheduled to undergo dual chamber pacemaker implantation. In this study additional heart rhythm measurements will be collected during the implant procedure to better understand how His bundle and/or parahisian pacing (HISP) effects electrical conduction in the hearts of patients with HF or AV block. The hypothesis is that His bundle or parahisian pacing (HISP) and left bundle area pacing (LBAP) may normalize atrioventricular (AV) conduction with a narrow combination of the Q wave, R wave and S wave (QRS complex) in functional bundle branch block or conduction delay in patients with heart failure (HF).

This was a dose-finding study to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of 3 different doses of LIK066 compared to placebo or empagliflozin in T2DM patients with heart failure

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of perhexiline on exercise performance (efficacy) and safety in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and moderate-to-severe heart failure following dosing for 16 weeks.

This is a Phase I, Multicentre study to Compare the Effect of AZD9977 and Spironolactone on Serum Potassium [sK+] during 28 days in Patients with HFmrEF or HFpEF and eGFR in the range of ≥40 and ≤70 mL/min/1.73m2.

This study evaluated the safety and tolerability of LCZ696 treatment in Japanese heart failure patients (NYHA Class II-IV) with preserved ejection fraction after CLCZ696D2301 (PARAGON-HF).

The hyperactivation of the sympathetic nervous system is a feature of the heart failure and the determinants of disease progression and risk of sudden cardiac death. This research project aims to study, in the drug use conditions provided in the summary of product characteristics based on European marketing authorization (indications and dosage), the effect of the Entresto® on the activity of sympathic nervous system using the reference method, the microneurographic recording of sympathetic activity in muscle destiny (MSNA). This study will try to determine if the double inhibition of AT1 receptor and neprilysin activity result in lower sympathic nervous system burst rate versus single AT1 receptor inhibition using angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitor or AT1 receptor of angiotensin II inhibitor.

This pilot study will assess the impact of sacubitril/valsartan (trade name Entresto) on the elevated pulmonary artery pressures in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction, measured using a previously implanted hemodynamic monitoring device (CardioMEMS).

This trial is to establish whether ultrafiltration by peritoneal dialysis is a clinically effective treatment for patients with severe heart failure and moderate chronic kidney disease, thus improving quality of life and symptoms.

Sacubitril-Valsartan reduced heart failure hospitalizations and cardiovascular mortality compared to enelapril in chronic heart failure. Furthermore, quality of life is improved. The decrease of NT-proBNP levels during Sacubitril-Valsartan treatment is associated with reverse left ventricular remodeling and improved left ventricular systolic function. However, the underlying mechanisms that contribute to these symptomatic and prognostic benefits are largely unknown. The aim of this study is to evaluate left ventricular hemodynamics in patients treated with Sacubitril-Valsartan using non-invasive pressure-volume analysis.
