Active clinical trials for "Heart Failure"

This was a retrospective cohort study utilizing IQVIA open-source pharmacy and medical claims data among patients with a sacubitril/valsartan (SAC/VAL) prescription transaction.

The study is a cohort observational, retrospective, non-interventional study.

This study aimed to define the independent risk factors related cardiac events (cardiac death or heart failure-related hospitalization) among heart failure with mildly reduced ejection fraction (HFmrEF) patients who discharged from the Xiangtan Central Hospital. Through the long-term follow-up the cardiovascular outcome of patients being discharged from the hospital, the risk factors related to cardiovascular outcome (cardiac death or heart failure-related hospitalization) will be explored to provide clinical evidence to intervene the discharged HFmrEF patients aiming to improve patients outcome in the future clinical practice.

Heart failure is a chronic health condition associated with significant symptoms, an increased need of support from the NHS, and typically is associated with a reduction in life expectancy. The covid pandemic has made it more difficult for the NHS to deliver high quality care to the 1 million patients living with heart failure in the UK. NHS England plans that digitalisation of services will help, increasing efficiency and improving ability of patients to self-care and manage their conditions. "Digitalisation" includes the use of digital tools for health, such as Apps and online resources & support. But the typical heart failure patient does not receive a diagnosis of heart failure until their 70s or 80s, creating a significant risk of digital exclusion. The heart failure failure community doesn't have any information about which tools (if any) heart failure patients are using, or why. Patients who attend the heart failure clinic at the Royal Brompton, either face-to-face or virtually, will be eligible for our study. They will be provided an information sheet and asked for informed consent. The study consists of 4 short questionnaires (30 questions total) which only takes between 10-15 minutes to complete, this consists of 3 previously validated questionnaires and one bespoke questionnaire related to their digital tool use. The investigators aim to recruit 130 patients to help us better understand how many NHS patients with heart failure access digital tools, which ones are most often used, and how this relates to their health literacy, digital health literacy and overall attitude to their health condition and management. The investigators aim to describe different digital subgroups of patients and will use this information to help inform local and national policy around digital support for people living with heart failure.

Chronic diseases are frequent and potentially severe. Type II diabetes, asthma and heart failure affect 3.3 million, 4 million and 1 million people respectively in France. They are sources of avoidable mortality as well as disabilities leading to a loss of years of full health life (DALYS). Cumulatively, they were responsible for the loss of more than 1 million DALYS in 2019 in France. National and international recommendations also include TVE in the management of these three diseases. This severity can be reduced by better management underpinned by therapeutic education. By improving their knowledge of the disease, it allows a better adherence of patients to the care project, the achievement of clinical and biological objectives, a decrease in the number of emergency room visits and unscheduled hospitalizations, and an improvement in the quality of life during the course of three frequent chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, asthma and heart failure. However, participation in a therapeutic education program remains highly variable depending on many parameters. Lack of information seems to play a major role in this context. In the Ile de France region, the density of available TEP programs is high, particularly in Paris. The three chronic diseases that are managed by an advanced practice nurse with a PCS mention have the largest number of TVE programs in Paris: type 2 diabetes (32, and 6 for diabetic foot), asthma and heart failure. In an urban area with a good supply of TVE facilities, how can investigators explain the lack of integration of these facilities into the care pathway? Among the diverse patient population consulting an emergency department suffering from type II diabetes, asthma or heart failure, investigators wish to determine the proportion of patients who have not been offered TVE during their care. Investigators will then try to identify demographic, socioeconomic, and medical factors statistically associated with the absence of FTE proposal.

ADAPTATION HF is a prospective, observational, cross-sectional, multicenter, survey-based study. Patients who applied to the cardiology outpatient clinic with a preliminary diagnosis of HF or were hospitalized for HF and had a diagnosis of HF for at least 6 months will be included in the study.

The investigators goal is to create a digital registry that allows for seamless integration of patient reported outcomes, electronic health record data, and pharmacy information into data collection. The investigators will accomplish this using a novel patient centered mobile health platform called Hugo that will allow them to engage patients in an entirely novel manner.

Background: The cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) has been shown to improve symptoms and outcome of patients with congestive heart failure (HF), and depressed left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF < 35 %). The rate of non-responders to CRT is estimated at 30 %. Yet, the impact of frailty on the response to CRT has not been studied, until now. Purpose : To assess the impact of frailty in the elderly, on the response to CRT.

The relationship between shock, ischemia and reperfusion (I/R) injury, hemodynamic instability, systemic inflammatory response syndrome and multiorgan failure has been extensively investigated, but there is no consensus on the trigger mechanisms of tissue injury at the molecular level. Current therapies are targeted to reduce symptoms of shock and multiorgan damage but they are unable to act at the "beginning of the cascade", because of the lack of a model explaining the molecular basis of shock induced tissue injury and ensuing organ damage. The present observational study is aimed at identifying the molecular triggers of acute heart failure (HF) induced by shock and to identify inflammatory mediators and markers that are activated in shock, with a particular emphasis on the role of uncontrolled proteolytic activity.

The purpose is to monitor far field sensing artifacts of CRM devices in the presence of the IMED-4
