Active clinical trials for "Heart Failure"

SAINTS B is a randomized, controlled, clinical trial. Patients identified with advanced heart failure in SAINTS A who are unwilling or unable to undergo heart transplantation or left ventricular assist device implantation will be invited to participate in this study. Included patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to pharmacological HF treatment guided by an implanted wireless pulmonary artery hemodynamic monitor (CardioMEMS HF system) or usual care consisting of pharmacological HF treatment. Patients randomized into the CardioMEMS arm will be implanted within 30 (Cardiomems group only) days from randomization. After randomization, patients in both the CardioMEMS and the control arm will be seen at the outpatient clinic at Rigshospitalet after one and 6 months. At the final clinical follow-up visit at 6 months, participants will perform a 6 minute walk test (6MWT), cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET), fill out a quality of life questionnaire (Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ)) and blood samples will be drawn. Patients in the CardioMEMS arm will be managed according to previously published protocols for pulmonary artery pressure optimization (generally mean pulmonary pressure 10-25 mmHg) (Ref 1).

The aim of the study is to compare the differences in diuretic, natriuretic and clinical response to decongestion in patients receiving different replacement fluid regimens (0.9% sodium chloride vs 5% glucose) in acute heart failure.

The aim of this randomized controlled trial is to compare the impact of a case manager-led smartphone-assisted hybrid cardiac rehabilitation program with usual care in patients with HF. Participants will undergo a 12-week program led by a case manager and assisted by a smartphone. The study aims to answer two main questions: Is the novel cardiac rehabilitation model feasible for patients with HF? Does the intervention group show a significant improvement in exercise capacity and adherence compared to the usual care group?

The objective of this study is to prospectively compare decongestive therapy administered by the Reprieve DMS system to Optimal Diuretic Therapy (ODT) in the treatment of patients diagnosed with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF). The main objective is to determine if the Reprieve DMS can more efficiently decongest ADHF patients in comparison to Control Therapy.

The goal of this study is improving patient-centered communication for young people with advanced heart disease.

This study will be done to see if ziltivekimab can be used to treat people living with heart failure and inflammation. Participants will either get ziltivekimab or placebo. The study is expected to last for up to 4 years. Participants will have up to 20 clinic visits. Participants will have to use a study app on their phone to record and share information about all their injections of study medicine and to fill in questionnaires.

This study is trying to find out whether performing a hybrid aerobic-resistance exercise training program (titled PRIME: Peripheral Remodeling via Intermittent Muscular Exercise) results in better health outcomes than the traditional exercise training program (called COMBO) that is used in individuals with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Participants will be randomized (like the flip of a coin) to either PRIME (investigational) or the traditional exercise program (standard of care).

The goal of this observational study is to learn more about whether or not the use of heart ultrasound during pacemaker implantation is helpful. The main questions this aims to answer are: Does this help the doctors with figuring out the wire location during implantation? Does this reduce the wire placement procedure time? Does this reduce the x-ray imaging time during the procedure? Participants will be asked to: Have a physical exam and Echocardiogram (ECG) at initial visit, 2 weeks post implant, and 3 months post implant. Have a urine pregnancy test (if applicable) Have a heart ultrasound during implant procedure Answer questions related to heart failure symptoms to see what stage of heart failure is present Have device interrogation (a wand placed over the chest to see that the device is working properly) at a visit 2 weeks post implant and at 3 months post implant.

The REHAB-HFpEF trial will determine whether a novel physical rehabilitation intervention will improve the primary outcome of combined all-cause rehospitalizations and mortality and the secondary outcome of major mobility disability during 6-month follow-up in patients hospitalized for heart failure and preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), which is nearly unique to older persons, and for which there are few treatment options.

This is a prospective pilot study to evaluate changes before and 4 weeks after beta-blocker withdrawal in 30 HFpEF patients.
