Carvedilol in HF With Preserved EF

Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection FractionBeta Blocker1 more

Beta-blockers improve clinical outcomes in heart failure and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF); but not in those with preserved EF. Global longitudinal strain (GLS) is a prognostic factor independent of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). In a retrospective with 1969 patients with HF and LVEF of ≥40%, beta-blocker was associated with improved survival in those with low GLS (GLS <14%), but not in those with GLS ≥14%. In this prospective, randomized clinical study, the investigators will assess the effect of slow-release carvedilol in patients with HFpEF and hypertension. The primary endpoint is the time-averaged proportional changes in NT-proBNP level and GLS change from baseline to month 6.

Empagliflozin for New On-set Heart Failure Study Regardless of Ejection Fraction

Acute Heart Failure

Heart failure (HF) is one of the most important reasons for hospital admission and is associated with high mortality and morbidity. After discharge, up to 40% of patients are readmitted within 6 months and 1-year post-discharge mortality is high. The cost burden of treating patients with HF is high and ~80% of healthcare costs are related to hospital admissions. Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitor is considered one of the four foundational therapies (ACE-I or ARNI, beta-blockers, MRA, and SGLT2 inhibitors) for HFrEF. In particular, empagliflozin has been shown in randomized controlled trials to reduce the combined risk of cardiovascular death or HF hospitalization in HF patients with both reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). However, guidelines do not specify the sequence and the timing of which therapy to be commenced. The timing of SGLT inhibitors initiation in the treatment of acute HF is not established. In particular, new-onset acute HF is a group which is understudied in the major trials to date. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of in-hospital initiation of empagliflozin in patients hospitalized for new onset acute HF, regardless of LVEF for up to 90 days of follow-up.

High Intensity His Bundle Pacing in Heart Failure Patients With Narrow QRS Outcome Study

Cardiac Conduction SystemHis Bundle Pacing2 more

Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) decreases heart failure hospitalizations and mortality and increases left ventricular Ejection Fraction (EF) in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy, left bundle branch block and QRS duration >130msec. His bundle pacing has a similar effect in this category of patients. However, CRT is not beneficial in heart failure (HF) patients with narrow QRS. His-bundle pacing delivers physiological ventricular activation and has been shown to improve acute hemodynamic function in patients with heart failure, a prolonged PR interval, and either a narrow QRS or RBBB through AV delay optimization. We observed an acute hemodynamic effect during application of higher pacing output (3.5 Volts/1 msec) in HF patients with dilated or ischemic cardiomyopathy and narrow QRS independently of the paced QRS duration or AV delay shortening. This is a multi-center, prospective randomized single-blinded study, recruiting a sub-population of patients with heart failure (dilated or ischemic cardiomyopathy, EF<50%, narrow QRS (<110 msec), in optimal medical treatment who have an indication for ICD.

Use of a Novel SUBCUTaneous Preparation of Furosemide to Facilitate Early Supported Discharge of...

Heart Failure

To investigate whether an early supported discharge strategy for patients admitted to hospital because of HF, using a pH neutral subcutaneous (SC) furosemide formulation (SQINFurosemide) at home (delivered by non-CE marked SQINInfusor), compared to a usual care strategy with intravenous (IV) furosemide in hospital, results in an increased number of days spent alive and out of hospital (DAOH) at 30 days.

Exploratory Ph 2A, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Dose Escalation Study of Safety, Tolerability,...

Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction

This is a Phase 2A, randomized, parallel-group, placebo-controlled, double-blind, within subject dose escalation trial with 3 dose levels of HU6 and placebo. Subjects will be randomized (1:1) either to HU6 or placebo. Two dose levels will be administered in sequential order (150 mg daily followed by 300 mg daily), each for 20 days, to reach the third and highest dose of 450 mg daily if safety and tolerability are demonstrated at the lower 2 preceding doses. Administration of the 450 mg high dose will continue for a total of 94 days, with a safety follow-up visit within ~14 days of the last dose.

His-Bundle Corrective Pacing in Heart Failure

Right Bundle-Branch BlockHeart Failure2 more

The investigators aim to prospectively evaluate the efficacy and mechanism of benefit of His-bundle pacing enhanced cardiac resynchronization therapy (His-CRT) vs. cardiac resynchronization therapy (BIV-CRT) in patients with heart failure and right bundle branch block (RBBB).

Optimized Treatment of Pulmonary Edema or Congestion

Pulmonary EdemaCongestive Heart Failure1 more

Background: Intravenous (IV) loop-diuretics have been a key component in treating pulmonary edema since the nineteen sixties and has a Class 1 recommendation in the 2021 European Society of Cardiology guidelines for heart failure. Conversely, vasodilation was downgraded in the treatment of acute heart failure due to a lack of trials that compare vasodilation with loop-diuretics in a hyperacute clinical setting. This clinical equipoise will be tested in a trial including patients with pulmonary congestion immediately at hospital admission. Primary objective: To determine the superior strategy of loop-diuretics (furosemide), vasodilation (nitrates) or the combination during emergency treatment. Design: Investigator-initiated, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial with 1:1:1 allocation. Intervention: Intervention-phase will last 6 hours from study-inclusion, and patients will be allocated to one of three groups: Boluses of 40 mg IV furosemide + nitrate-placebo as soon as possible and repeated up to 10 times. Boluses of 3 mg IV isosorbide dinitrate + furosemide-placebo as soon as possible. Boluses of both 3 mg IV isosorbide dinitrate + of 40 mg as soon as possible.

Impact of Hypertonic Saline Solution on Acute Decompensated Heart Failure

Acute Decompensated Heart Failure

Acute decompensated heart failure (HF) is one of the most common cardiologic issues in emergency departments. Loop diuretics have long been recognized as the key for the treatment of Acute Decompensated Heart Failure (ADHF).However, chronic treatment with diuretics may limit their response and deteriorates the renal function. The hypertonic saline solution (HSS) has been proposed in recent years as an adjunctive therapy for intravenous loop diuretics to improve or restore their initial pharmacological efficacy. In this study the investigators will evaluate the effectiveness of HSS as an adjunct to i.v. furosemide in patients admitted for AHF with renal dysfunction
