Registry for Longitudinal Mortality and Therapy in Patients With Heart Failure
Heart FailureThe purpose of this registry is to compile a large clinical database on the medical management of patients hospitalized with acute heart failure, using information collected from hospitals across China.
Biomechanical Precision Medicine Registry for Patients With and Without Heart Failure
Heart Failure With Normal Ejection FractionHeart Failure With Reduced Ejection Fraction4 moreIn this single-center, longitudinal observational study, we will comprehensively examine clinical characteristics, proteomic, metabolomic, genomic and imaging data to better understand how different heart failure types may develop and progress over time. We will evaluate distinct sub-groups of heart failure (also known as heart failure phenotypes) and cardiomyopathies including amyloidosis with an ultimate goal of bringing the right medications and therapy to the right patients to optimize benefit and minimized side effects, an effort to improve precision medicine in heart failure.

B-lines-guided Heart Failure Management in Heart Failure Patients
Lung UltrasoundHeart FailureBackground:About 50% of subclinical heart failure (Sub-HF) patients might have residual lung ultrasound B-lines (LUS-BL). Sub-HF is insensitive to widely used imaging examinations, like x-ray or echocardiography, but lung ultrasound (LUS) can sufficiently detect pulmonary congestion in Sub-HF patients. Previous studies showed that residual LUS-BL is associated worse clinical outcome among patients with chronic heart failure. In this trial, we sought to evaluate the impact of LUS-BL guided intensive HF management post discharge in patients with residual LUS-BL on outcome up to 1 year after discharge. Aim: IMP-OUTCOME is a prospective, single-center, observational cohort study, which is designed to investigate whether LUS-BL-guided intensive HF management post discharge might improve the outcome of HF patients with residual B-lines at discharge up to 1 year after discharge. Methods and results: After receiving the standardized treatment of HF according to current guidelines, 320 HF patients with ≥ 3 B-lines (LUS-BL, assessed within 48 hours before discharge) will be divided into the conventional HF management group and the LUS-BL-guided intensive HF management group at 1:1 ratio. LUS-BL-guided intensive HF management group will receive optimized HF medication according to current guidelines and medication will be adjusted according the status of LUS-BL in addition to symptom and physical examination results during the follow-up at 2-month interval. Patient-related clinical data including sex, age, blood chemistry, imaging examination, drug utilization, and so on will be obtained and analyzed. Following discharge from the hospital, patients in the conventional HF management group will receive optimized HF medication according to current guidelines and medication will be adjusted without knowing the status of LU-BL during the follow-up at 2-month interval. LUS-BL will be assessed at 2-month interval post discharge in both groups, results will be transferred to HF nurses, who will decide to present the LUS-BL results to managing cardiologist or envelope the LUS-BL results till study end according to group assignment. Echocardiography examination will be performed at 12 months for all patients and EF, E/e', LA size and systolic pulmonary artery pressure will be assessed. The primary endpoint is the composite of re-hospitalization for worsening HF and all-cause death during follow-up. Secondary endpoints include the change in the Duke Activity Status Index (DASI) and NT-pro BNP, arrythmia and 6-minutes walk distance at each follow up, EF and B-lines changes at final follow up. Safety profile will be noted and analyzed. Primary results will be available by early 2024. Conclusion: This trial will clarify the impact of LUS-BL guided intensive HF management on outcome for discharged patients with residual B-lines up to 1 year after discharge in the era of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blocker-neprilysin inhibitor.
Empagliflozin and Atrial Fibrillation Treatment
Atrial FibrillationHeart Failure2 moreThe primary purpose of this trial is to evaluate the impact of empagliflozin, as compared with placebo, in patients with diabetes mellitus or overweight, heart failure and atrial fibrillation.

Improving Diagnostic Accuracy for Acute Heart Failure
Acute Heart FailureDyspnea1 moreAcute heart failure is a common reason for emergency department visits and hospitalization, but the diagnosis can be challenging because of non-specific symptoms and signs. The current diagnostic approach to acute heart failure has modest accuracy, leading to delayed diagnosis and treatment, which associate with worse prognosis. Prior work suggests diagnostic accuracy can be improved with the addition of multiple circulating biomarkers discovered through proteomics, and this study will derive and validate a multi-marker model to improve diagnostic accuracy for acute heart failure in the emergency department.
A Study to Evaluate Breathing Muscle Training in Cardiac Rehab
HealthyHeart FailureThe purpose of this study is to understand if breathing muscle training combined with cardiac rehabilitation influences the blood flow and blood pressure response during exercise.
Jardiance® Post Marketing Surveillance (PMS) in Korean Patients With Chronic Heart Failure
Heart FailureThe primary objective of this study is to monitor the safety profile of Jardiance® in Korean patient with chronic heart failure (New York Heart Association (NYHA) class II-IV) in a routine clinical setting.
Office-based Validation of the JVPHome
Congestive Heart FailureThe JVPHome is a novel medical device that utilizes machine vision in order to facilitate assessment of jugular venous pressure (JVP) height relative to the sternal angle with the ultimate goal of enabling remote JVP monitoring. The current study aims to evaluate the ability of an enhanced version of the JVPHome to enable remote identification of JVP height relative to ultrasound among congestive heart failure (CHF) patients when the device is applied by the study team in the clinic.
