Active clinical trials for "Heart Failure"

The primary objective of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of iron therapy using intravenous (IV) ferric carboxymaltose (FCM), relative to placebo in the treatment of participants in heart failure with a reduced ejection fraction and with iron deficiency

The purpose of this study is to: To determine the rate and routes of excretion of BIA 5-453 and the mass balance in urine and faeces

A Study to Evaluate Safety and Efficacy of Continuous 48-Hour Intravenous Infusions of HNO Donor in Hospitalized Patients with Heart Failure and Impaired Systolic Function

The investigators propose a small pilot proof of concept study to not only prove the existence of, but also probe the mechanisms underlying cardio-renal effects of empagliflozin in patients with heart failure. The investigators propose a 50 patient randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover study with patients with stable HF, type II diabetes and an eGFR >45ml/min/1.73 m2 who are chronically receiving loop diuretics.

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

We are doing this study to help patients, caregivers, and providers make decisions about how best to manage depressive symptoms in advanced heart failure. There are two evidence-based treatment approaches to treating depression in patients with advanced heart failure, behavioral action psychotherapy and treatment with anti-depressant medications. In this study we want to compare the effectiveness of these two treatment options to learn which treatment works better.

Cardiac biomarkers have dramatically impacted the way HF patients are evaluated and managed. In fact, the role of biomarkers has developed to better differentiate HF against other diseases and, to timely initiate and influence more accurate diagnosis (rule out) and treatments, to predict the onset of future HF, to risk-stratify affected patients, and to serve as a tool to guide intensity of therapy. NT-proBNP has become validated biomarkers with highest guideline recommendation (class I) and independent predictors for re-hospitalization and mortality in HF patients. However, many Indonesian cardiologists do not use of those biomarkers, mostly due to limited available cardiac biomarkers for the cost effective heart failure management. We evaluate 2 alternative treatments which one that more cost-effective between biomarker's guided therapy and without biomarker.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of treatment with omecamtiv mecarbil compared with placebo on exercise capacity as determined by cardiopulmonary exercise testing following 20 weeks of treatment with omecamtiv mecarbil or placebo

The purpose of this current study proposal is to identify the potential physiological adaptations arising from a combined BFR+HIIT training intervention in CHF patients. We hypothesise that the addition of BFR to HIIT will increase whole-body V̇O2peak by promoting vascular and skeletal muscle adaptations above that seen with HIIT alone. The secondary outcomes of this study are to determine if such a training intervention leads to clinical improvements in exercise intolerance symptoms and quality of life indices. Given that the majority of previous research in to both BFR and HIIT has largely involved young, healthy and relatively active participants, the final objective of this current proposal is to determine the viability, tolerability and efficacy of these training modalities in an elderly cohort of predominantly sedentary CHF patients.
