Active clinical trials for "Heart Failure"

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).

This study will assess the functionality and tolerability of an automated continual water removal system in up to 8 patients with HF and diuretic resistance. intervention: Implanted absorption chamber, connected to an external pump. Follow up: 3 months post activation.

The purpose of the OUTPATIENT-WHF study is to characterize the effectiveness of outpatient intravenous diuretic therapy as a treatment for worsening heart failure.

This is a prospective, multi-center, randomized, sham-controlled clinical trial.

The goal of this clinical study is to compare treatment regimens of loop diuretics in patients with decompensated heart failure. The main aim is to answer if early change from intravenous to oral loop diuretics is safe and effective.

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of single and multiple doses at escalating dose levels of mRNA-0184.

Diabetes mellitus people have a higher incidence of cardiovascular disease, and the results of cardiovascular events are worse. Heart failure and diabetes both have a worse prognosis, with a 1.5-2 times increased risk of death. Data from the literature have shown that MET lowers mortality by 14-35% in this patient population, which represents one-third of all HF patients with no increases in lactic acidosis incidence.

Our goal of the study is to learn the effects of the diabetes medication named Pioglitazone, in type-2 diabetic obese participants with Heart failure. The main question it aims to answer are: To demonstrate that impaired mitochondrial function leading to reduced ATP generation plays a key pathophysiologic role in the development of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) in obese type 2 diabetic (T2D) individuals. To demonstrate that pioglitazone, improves diastolic (as well as systolic) function by improving myocardial insulin sensitivity and by reducing both myocardial and epicardial fat content.

This is an open-label, single arm, multicenter pilot-study to explore the safety, tolerability and efficacy of oral iron supplementation with ferric maltol in treating iron deficiency and anaemia in patients with heart failure.

The use of implantable left ventricular assist devices (LVAD) has increased over the last decade; partly because the newer continuous flow pumps feature a smaller design and better durability. These pumps have shown improved outcomes for those patients who don't qualify for heart transplantation and receive the LVAD device as a permanent therapy or a bridge to heart transplantation. Despite these improved outcomes, procedure related length of hospitalization for LVAD implantation is still 2 or 3 times that of other heart surgery treatments. One important reason for this is that many people experience right ventricular dysfunction after LVAD implantation. Treatment options for this are limited. Many LVAD patients with right ventricular dysfunction also have tricuspid valve regurgitation (TR). This is the failure of the tricuspid valve (TV) to close completely so that blood leaks backwards. Some recent studies suggest that correction of the TV during LVAD implantation has improved survival for those with severe regurgitation. However, this has not been evaluated for mild or moderate regurgitation. The goal of this study is to look at the clinical impact of surgical correction of mild to moderate TR in participants who are also undergoing LVAD implantation. The study will look at the degree of TR at various time points post-surgery, as well as any major cardiac adverse events, duration of hospitalization, and quality of life. The investigators hope to show that surgical correction of mild to moderate TR in LVAD patients will reduce right ventricular dysfunction and have a positive impact on health outcomes.
