Active clinical trials for "Heart Failure"

Objective: The objective of the study is to assess the structural and functional cardiac effects of treatment with the beta 3 AR agonist Mirabegron in patients with moderate to severe chronic heart failure (LVEF<35%, NYHA III-IV). The study is a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blinded trial in two phases with two hypotheses: Chronic study - study A: Long-term treatment (3 months) with the β3 adrenergic receptor agonist Mirabegron is beneficial in patients with moderate to severe human heart failure Invasive study - Study B: Administration of Mirabegron in patients with heart failure leads to an immediate increase in cardiac output at a constant or reduced left ventricular filling pressure during submaximal exercise Specific aims Determine safety of administration of Mirabegron to patients with moderate to severe heart failure. Determine if treatment with Mirabegron for 3 months induces beneficial cardiac structural remodelling in patients with moderate to severe heart failure. In an open-label follow-up to determine the effects of Mirabegron after an extended duration (a total of 12 months). Determine if Mirabegron improves symptoms and exercise capacity as indicated by questionnaires and 6 min walk test in patients with moderate to severe heart failure. Determine effects of Mirabegron on cardiac conduction, repolarisation and rhythms and arrhythmias in patients with moderate to severe heart failure. Determine effects of Mirabegron on circulating biomarkers in patients with moderate to severe heart failure. Determine the immediate and short term haemodynamic effects of Mirabron as measured by CT and invasively.

Researchers are studying the safety and efficacy of a minimally invasive treatment called a pericardiotomy, which creates a small opening in the sac that surrounds the heart. Researchers will test the short and long term effects of this procedure by monitoring subjects heart function and symptoms.

The focus of this study is to examine the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary impact of a 12-week, telephone-delivered, positive psychology (PP)-based health behavior intervention in a group of patients with mild to moderate heart failure (HF), compared to a motivational interviewing- (MI-) based education condition and treatment as usual (TAU).

ITISHOPE4HF is a randomized controlled trial of telerehabilitation in a heart failure population. The goal is to evaluate if a home-based telerehabilitation project can increase physical activity in heart failure patients. Patients will be provided telerehabilitation or advice on physical activity (standard care).

trans-coronary sinus intraseptal pacing (cerclage pacing)

The study is to evaluate the safe admission avoidance and the overall economic impact associated with management of worsening HF using the drug-device combination product, the Furoscix Infusor, outside the hospital setting in patients initially presenting to the emergency department. The study drug, Furoscix (furosemide injection 8 mg/ml), is a furosemide solution buffered to a neutral pH containing 80 mg/10 mL for subcutaneous administration over 5 hours via the Furoscix Infusor. The study objectives are: To evaluate differences in healthcare resource utilization and direct medical costs for patients treated with the Furoscix Infusor outside the hospital versus patients receiving intravenous furosemide for ≤ 72 hours in the hospital setting for 30 days post-discharge from the emergency department. To evaluate the safety of Furoscix administered outside the hospital. To evaluate and describe quality of life and patient satisfaction for patients who receive the Furoscix Infusor outside the hospital setting.

The purpose is to evaluate the effect of single therapeutic (400 mg) and supratherapeutic (1200 mg) doses of BIA 5-1058 on the time-matched change from baseline in placebo-adjusted interval corrected (QT) for heart rate (HR)

Heart failure (HF) is characterized by high mortality, poor quality of life and frequent hospitalizations. The effectiveness of out-patient care for HF patients is unsatisfactory. Therefore the solutions that enable effective monitoring and assessment of HF patients' clinical status become priority in treatment strategy. The applicant proposes to develop a model of care for HF patients based on modern non-invasive diagnostic tools and telemedicine. Clinical evaluation will be based on i.e. impedance cardiography, a simple non-invasive method of hemodynamic monitoring, including assessment of heart rate, blood pressure, left ventricular stroke volume, chest and total fluid status. The telemedicine system will enable rapid, appropriate to the patient's clinical status, therapeutic decision undertaken remotely by specialist. Implementation of the proposed model of care will contribute to a significant improvement in prognosis of HF patients (through i.e. improved access to specialist consultation, the early diagnosis of the deterioration of HF and the optimization of treatment). The significant economic, social and scientific benefits related to the project are also expected.

This study is design to assess two levels of dietary sodium intake in the treatment of patients with Acute Decompensated Heart Failure.

In the current study we wish to investigate the effects on glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) of a neprilysin inhibitor
