Active clinical trials for "Heart Failure"

A single-center, prospective, non-randomized, clinical and first-in-human study. Each patient will be studied during a single treatment session of ten hours. The device will be connected to an existing, standard PD catheter that the patient will be using routinely prior to the study (i.e. a peritoneal dialysis catheter will not be specifically inserted for the study). The patient will be hospitalized for observation during the test day and during the night following the study session. Ultrafiltration volume, dialysate glucose concentrations, blood glucose concentrations as well the patient's acceptability and tolerance of the wearable device will be evaluated.

The INTERVENE-HF study is a prospective, non-randomized, multi-center (US only), investigational, feasibility study. The purpose of this study is to characterize safety of managing heart failure patients with integrated device diagnostics that have an implanted commercially available Medtronic cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator (CRT-D).

The purpose of this study is test the safety and tolerability of BMS-986224 and its effects on the body in healthy subjects and subjects with chronic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction

The aim of the study is to compare the effects of MV targeted ASV in addition to optimized medical therapy versus optimized medical therapy alone at 6 months in patients with acute decompensated HF. The study will also assess changes in functional parameters, biomarkers, quality of life (QOL), and sleep.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether changes in a patient's position affect LV capture thresholds in a clinically significant way.

The purpose of this study is to see if treatment of OSA with the CPAP device makes a difference to insulin resistance and heart disease.

Congestive heart failure (CHF) affects 4-5 million Americans, and its prevalence is predicted to increase over the next few decades. Thyroid hormone has unique actions which make it a novel and potentially useful agent for treatment of CHF. Due to possible adverse affects of thyroid hormone, there is interest in developing analogs with fewer undesirable side effects. 3,5- diiodothyropropionic acid (DITPA) has been shown to improve diastolic function in both animal models and a recently completed double-blind placebo controlled trial in 19 humans. The goal of the proposed Phase II study is to show safety and demonstrate a medication of efficacy of DITPA needed in patients with CHF. This study is a prerequisite for a larger Phase III trial which would determine whether mortality is improved with DITPA. To better define the appropriate doses, prior to the Phase II study we will conduct an initial pharmacokinetic study.

In this pilot study, investigators, in partnership with Resource Centers for Minority Aging Research (RCMAR) mentorship team and the MyMeds program, will enroll patients from MyMeds with diabetes, atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, or congestive heart failure with poor medication adherence (medication adherence percentage<80% for statin or antihypertensive therapy) who report having a least one loved one or friend (e.g., spouse) whom they consider to be invested in their health, and with whom they would be willing to share focused medical information about medication adherence in the form of text messages. Participants will be randomized into either a private feedback arm or social network arm. In the private feedback arm, participants will only receive private consultations from a pharmacist regarding their medication adherence rates. In the social network arm, participants and their chosen loved one or friend will receive bi-weekly feedback text messages regarding the participant's medication adherence. Investigators will evaluate the effects of this social network intervention on medication adherence and examine the program's acceptability among study participants. This proposal is innovative because it leverages social networks-largely unused in medical care-for health improvement.

An estimated 6.5 million adults in the U.S. have Heart Failure (HF) and the prevalence is increasing. HF is characterized by poor quality of life but this is amenable to self-management. However, the amount of support available from providers to help manage complications is far beyond what is feasible. The complex needs of these patients require a new vision for delivery of health care services, such as an mHealth management model. mHealth technologies such as blue-tooth enabled BP, heart rate, weight, and pulse oximetry remote monitoring permit sharing of immediate biometric data and video messages with providers and instantaneous feedback to patients before symptom crises, that is, when and where patients need it.

This study will investigate the effectiveness of two contextual just-in-time adaptive interventions (JITAIs) delivered via a mobile app for heart failure patients.
