Active clinical trials for "Heart Failure"

This study has been designed to describe the use of Remote Patient Management (RPM) systems equipped with sensors for the measurement of weight and blood pressure in an Italian health care setting, verifying their efficacy and efficiency for the remote management of heart failure patients with implantable defibrillators. Moreover, their ease of use and acceptance by physician and patient will be assessed.

The purpose of this study is to compare the decision making of subjects with advanced CHF having a verbal discussion about goals of care compared to subjects using a video.

To evaluate short-term and long-term effects by MR imaging on the technical and functional status of implantable cardioverter defibrillators.

This cardiac registry study will collect information from patients with ischemic or non-ischemic heart failure that have been treated with adipose-derived regenerative cells (ADRCs) delivered via intramyocardial injection.

Enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) is an outpatient coronary artery disease (CAD) therapy that involves the cyclical inflation/deflation of cuffs wrapped around the lower extremities. However, the possible benefits of EECP in patients with heart failure (HF) (New York Heart Association [NYHA] classes II to IV) and cardiomyopathy are unclear.

The presence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) would confer increased in-hospital mortality and length of hospital stay in patients with acute decompensated heart failure Assess the (1) prevalence of COPD in patients who are hospitalized for acute decompensated heart failure and (2) the association between COPD and in-hospital mortality or length of stay in this cohort.

Subjects will include patients diagnosed with breast cancer or hematological cancer who are planned for chemotherapy treatment with anthracycline or trastuzumab; and who have one or more risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Subjects will received an extra echocardiogram to determine if heart problems can be detected earlier.

Chronic severe mitral regurgitation can lead to symptoms and left ventricular dysfunction. The purpose of this study is to prospectively follow patients with non-ischaemic cardiomyopathy who are eligible for mitral valve repair surgery and primarily measure the quality of life through the Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire & the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire.

The purpose of this study is to determine the genetic basis of cardiomyopathies and heart failure.

This study aims to evaluate cardiopulmonary interactions in patients with heat failure
