Active clinical trials for "Heart Failure"

Heart failure (HF) is a condition in which the heart cannot pump blood adequately. It is increasingly common, consumes 4% of the UK National Health Service (NHS) budget and is deadlier than most cancers. Early diagnosis and treatment of HF improves quality of life and survival. Unacceptably, 80% of patients have their HF diagnosed only when very unwell, requiring an emergency hospital admission, with worse survival and higher treatment costs to the NHS. This is largely because General Practitioners (GPs) have no easy-to-use tools to check for suspected HF, with patients having to rely on a long and rarely completed diagnostic pathway involving blood tests and hospital assessment. The investigators have previously demonstrated that an artificial intelligence-enabled stethoscope (AI-stethoscope) can detect HF in 15 seconds with 92% accuracy (regardless of age, gender or ethnicity) - even before patients develop symptoms. While the GP uses the stethoscope, it records the heart sounds and electrical activity, and uses inbuilt artificial intelligence to detect HF. The goal of this clinical trial is to determine the clinical and cost-effectiveness of providing primary care teams with the AI-stethoscope for the detection of heart failure. The main questions it aims to answer are if provision of the AI-stethoscope: Increases overall detection of heart failure Reduces the proportion of patients being diagnosed with heart failure following an emergency hospital admission Reduces healthcare system costs 200 primary care practices across North West London and North Wales, UK, will be recruited to a cluster randomised controlled trial, meaning half of the primary care practices will be randomly assigned to have AI-stethoscopes for use in direct clinical care, and half will not. Researchers will compare clinical and cost outcomes between the groups.

This study investigates the impact and safety of wireless monitoring on the prognosis of heart failure patients with implanted pacemakers and defibrillators. It aims to examine the frequency of unplanned early hospital visits and the early diagnosis/intervention of disease exacerbation based on the presence or absence of wireless monitoring. Additionally, the study analyzes the influence of wireless monitoring on the patient's disease progression as well as satisfaction of the study participants.

Heart failure is a chronic disease that spans the home as well as the outpatient and hospital Settings and requires multidisciplinary, continuous disease management. Heart failure management emphasizes seamless connection from admission to return to the family, so as to improve the efficiency of resource use. Early preventive intervention, timely and reasonable drug treatment, integration of effective medical resources, and establishment of A sound and effective management model should be carried out for the population with high risk factors of heart failure (heart function stage A), so as to delay the occurrence and development of heart failure and further avoid the occurrence of malignant cardiovascular events. Therefore, this project aims to establish a "special-general-community-family" chain quality control model with the "general practice department" as the core for patients with chronic heart failure in general hospitals, so as to provide them with a full life cycle, multidimensional, concise and efficient quality control management.At present, the situation of heart failure prevention and treatment in China is grim and the challenge is huge. Heart failure complicated illness, drug dosage adjustment characteristics of professionalism, its emphasis on guide oriented treatment, and should pay attention to individual, need of specialized subject doctor, general practitioners, community doctors and family personal collaborative to maximize the optimal management of patients with chronic heart failure, follow the classification diagnosis and treatment, two-way referral is helpful to improve the long-term prognosis of patients with. At present, HF management has received increasing attention, how to choose a more reasonable, effective and economic management mode is still a problem of disagreement.

The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of single doses of REGN5381 in patients with heart failure with evidence of congestion The secondary objectives of the study are to: Evaluate the effects of single doses of REGN5381 on hemodynamic parameters Evaluate the effects of REGN5381 on a clinical biomarker of heart failure severity Characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK) of single doses of REGN5381 Assess the immunogenicity of REGN5381

The MobiDig trial is designed to evaluate an implementation of a mobile phone application with secondary preventive/rehabilitative modules for patients with heart failure in certified Heart Failure Unit centers in Berlin and Brandenburg. The aim is to evaluate the effect on quality of life, symptoms and the course of the disease. In addition, the acceptance, adherence and user behavior as well as the implementation potential for a permanent introduction of the application in national heart failure networks will be analyzed.

The SYNAPSE trial is designed to study the effects of an individualized home-based cognitive training program on cognitive functions in heart-failure patients.

There is limited long-term evidence specific to AAs with HFrEF on sacubitril/valsartan therapy. Plasma NT-proBNP levels are lower in AA individuals as compared to Caucasian individuals in general. However, the mechanism of action of sacubitril specifically targets the activity of BNP. Therefore, there is the potential that the mechanism of action of sacubitril/valsartan may be less effective in AAs.

This is a prospective, multi-center, open label, randomized control clinical trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of the Cordella™ Pulmonary Artery Sensor System in NYHA Class II-III Heart Failure Patients (PROACTIVE-HF-2 Trial). The study contains of 2 arms: Randomized Arm To demonstrate safety and efficacy of the Cordella PA Sensor System in NYHA Class II HF patients. Single Arm To demonstrate safety and efficacy of the Cordella PA Sensor System linked with a clinician-directed patient self-management strategy in NYHA Class III HF patients.

AIMS Despite evidence-based therapeutic approaches, target blood pressure is obtained by less than half of patients with hypertension. Hypertension is associated with a significant risk for heart failure (HF), in particular HF with preserved left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (HFpEF). Although treatment is suggested to be given early after hypertension diagnosis, there is still no evidence-based medical treatment for HFpEF. We aim to study the underlying mechanisms behind the transition from uncomplicated hypertension to hypertensive heart disease (HHD) and HFpEF. To this end, we will combine cardiac imaging techniques and measurements of circulating fibrosis markers to longitudinally monitor fibrosis development in patients with hypertension. METHODS In a prospective cohort study, 250 patients with primary hypertension and 60 healthy controls, will be characterized at inclusion, and after 1 and 6 years. Doppler-echocardiography, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) and ECG will be used for measures of cardiac structure and function over time. Blood biomarkers reflecting myocardial fibrosis, inflammation and endothelial dysfunction will be analysed. As a proxy for HFpEF development, the primary endpoint is to measure echocardiographic changes in LV function and structure (E/e´ and LAVI) and to relate these measures of LV filling to blood pressure, biomarkers, ECG and CMR. CONCLUSION We aim to study the timeline and transition from uncomplicated hypertension to HHD and HFpEF. In order to identify subjects prone to develop HHD and HFpEF, we want to find biomarkers and cardiac imaging variables to explain disease progression. Ultimately, we aim at finding new pathways to prevent HFpEF.

The purposes of the study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSC) in treating heart failure patients
