Active clinical trials for "Heart Failure"

In this study coronary artery disease patients and patients with heart failure will be randomly assigned to three training groups: combined aerobic interval training with high intensity resistance training, combined aerobic interval training with low intensity resistance training and aerobic interval training.

The main aim of this study is to identify the underlying mechanisms of Sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors which are associated to better outcomes in patients with Diabetes mellitus type 2 and Heart Failure with preserved Ejection Fraction.

The objective of this clinical research is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of Implantable Alginate Hydrogel to reconstruct the left ventricle in the treatment of heart failure

The focus of this study is to investigate the use of Dapagliflozin in HFrEF (NYHA II-IV) patients with or without diabetes who have CardioMEMS® implanted to assess the impact on pulmonary artery pressure measurements after 12 weeks of therapy.

The investigators hypothesize that the airway pressures generated by High Flow Oxygen Therapy could have a beneficial impact in patients with heart failure, particularly by lowering capillary pulmonary arterial pressures. However, results compared to Non-Invasive Ventilation are difficult to predict due to the lack of data in the literature.

This proof-of-concept study will evaluate the feasibility of the Eko DUO to measure signals relevant to heart failure (HF) decompensation, as well as the feasibility to develop an algorithm to model hemodynamic filling pressures in HF patients under active decompensation in a cardiac intensive care unit (CICU) or coronary care unit (CCU). To also assess the performance of the Eko CORE to detect signals of an HF event, this study will also take heart and lung sound measurements with the Eko CORE.

Sacubitril/valsartan reduces the risk of cardiovascular mortality among patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction, and has been recently indicated as a new treatment option with a strong level of recommendation (class I, level of evidence B) in the main international guidelines. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the most common cause of death in end stage renal disease (ESRD) patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD). Hence, treatments to improve mortality and specifically cardiovascular outcomes in this population are greatly needed. So far, no data available about the efficacy and safety of sacubitril/valsartan in ESRD patients undergoing hemodialysis, although this medication was noted to be effective and comparably well tolerable in those with estimated glomerular filtration rate(eGFR) 20 to 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 in the United Kingdom Heart and Renal Protection-III trial. The purpose of this open label, randomized controlled study with prospective data collection is to assess the efficacy and safety of sacubitril/valsartan in maintenance hemodialysis patients with heart failure.

To Identify the role of aldosterone antagonist in patients of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. Portray the health profile of heart failure patients admitted in internal medicine department either heart failure with reduced ejection fraction or heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. To compare between patients of right and left sided heart failure by biomarkers and parameters of echocardiographgy Vitamin D and its relation to cardiovascular disease and heart failure.

The purpose of this study is to compare the changes in B-type Natriuretic Peptide (BNP) and amino-terminal fragment of proBNP (NT-proBNP) in outpatients managed in the heart failure (HF) clinic initiated on the Angiotensin Receptor Neprilysin Inhibitor (Entresto) and directly compare the prognostic values of BNP and NT-proBNP in patients admitted with acute decompensated HF.

Beta blockers have been used to reduce the mortality and heart failure rehospitalization in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) patients in addition to ACEI/ARB, MRA, ivabradine and ARNI. However, the effective and safe medical therapy is not well established in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) yet. Recent meta-analysis showed that beta blockers may also be beneficial for reducing the mortality and heart failure rehospitalization in HFpEF like HFrEF. However, the clinical effect and safety of carvedilol have been largely unknown in HFpEF. Therefore, CAYMUS HFpEF is the exploratory study to assess the change of surrogate markers (NTproBNP, hsTn) when treated with carvedilol SR vs. placebo in HFpEF patients
