Early Management Strategies of Acute Heart Failure for Patients With NSTEMI

Early ManagementAcute Heart Failure1 more

There are always poor outcomes in patients with acute myocardial infarction(AMI) combined with elevated BNP/NT-proBNP level. An elevated BNP/NT-proBNP level highly indicates acute heart failure(AHF).Levosimendan is recommended in many clinical trials of heart failure and Chinese heart failure guidelines. As a result, the investigators form a hypothesis that when patients with AMI combined with elevated BNP/NT-proBNP level are in conditions before AHF, to use levosimendan may reduces the risk of heart failure and improve the outcome.

CMR Exercise Stress Testing in HFpEF

Diastolic Heart Failure

Patients of the University Hospital Göttingen with echocardiographic signs for diastolic heart failure and indication for right heart catheterisation will undergo additional diagnostic testing with CMR including exercise stress for detailed evaluation of diastolic dysfunction and tissue characterisation correlating the results with well-established clinical standards.

Assessment of Peripheral Veins Doppler Ultrasound for Diagnosis of Acute Right Heart Failure in...

Acute Right Heart FailurePulmonary Hypertension1 more

Occurrence of acute right heart failure (ARHF) remains common during pulmonary hypertension (PH). Right atrial pressure (RAP) invasive measurement is the gold standard to diagnose ARHF in order to improve diuretic treatment management. Existence of indirect signs of ARHF on venous Doppler ultrasound waveform has long been described, but correlation with RAP has not been properly established yet. It is the aim of our study in order to obtain an additional tool to manage ARHF.

Efficacy, Safety and Cost of Remote Monitoring of Patients With Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy...

Heart FailureCardiac Resynchronization Therapy

The primary objective is to determine whether comprehensive remote follow-up in HF patients with CRT will reduce the combined endpoint of all-cause mortality or worsening heart failure hospitalizations, whichever comes first, when compared to basic remote monitoring, over a 27-month follow-up.

Trial in Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT): Right Ventricular Apex Versus High Posterior Septum...

Heart Failure

In heart failure patients we hypothesised that right ventricular high posterior septum is superior to right ventricular apex in CRT and DDD pacemaker. In two separate trials we prospectively randomized the right ventricular lead placement to find evidence of differences in heart failure symptoms (NYHA-class), 6 minute hall walk and echocardiographic measurements of reverse remodelling and dyssynchrony.

Sleep Apnea Treatment During Cardiac Rehabilitation of Congestive Heart Failure Patients

Heart FailureSleep Disordered Breathing

Sleep disordered breathing (SDB) is a frequent comorbidity for heart failure patients. Its prevalence varies according to the seriousness of the condition of the patients, but it is present in approximately 50% of patients. Screening patients for SDB and managing them by providing adapted ventilation therapy should improve their quality of life or even their prognosis. Moreover, SDB lowers nocturnal cardiovascular recovery abilities and leads to an increase in fatigability and, as a result, exercise intolerance in patients with heart failure. Physical training as part of a cardiac rehabilitation programme provides many benefits, including improving patients' exercise capacities. Our hypothesis is that adapted sleep disordered breathing therapy during rehabilitation will lead to an improvement in rehabilitation results.

LTOT in COPD Patients With Moderate Chronic Hypoxemia and Chronic Heart Failure

Lung DiseasesObstructive2 more

In patients with both COPD and CHF, moderate chronic hypoxemia is caused by a combination of intrapulmonary and extrapulmonary factors. The hypothesis of this study is that adequate medical therapy for both conditions can correct the moderate hypoxemia by improving the underlying mechanisms without the need of LTOT. If this hypothesis is correct, the study will provide a valuable information to the Italian Agency of drugs (Agenzia Italiana del Farmaco, AIFA) to reduce the inappropriate use of LTOT for COPD patients with moderate hypoxemia and CHF, and will help the Italian National Health Service to reduce both the direct and indirect costs of unnecessary LTOT.

IVIg Therapy for Patients With Idiopathic Cardiomyopathy and Endomyocardial Biopsy Proven High PVB19...

Heart Failure

Rationale: Parvovirus B19 (PVB19) persistence in the heart has been associated with progressive cardiac dysfunction and evolution to dilated cardiomyopathy. Objective: Whether high dose of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) in addition to conventional heart failure therapy achieves virus reduction, thereby resulting in improvement of cardiac function. Study design: A interventional study of virus presence and cardiac functional capacity before and after IVIg therapy. Study population: Patients with idiopathic cardiomyopathy and symptomatic heart failure for more than 1 year and a significant PVB19 viral load in endomyocardial biopsies (EMB) and treated with high dose of IVIg were included. Intervention (if applicable): Patients were treated with a total dose of 2 g/kg of immune globulin administered as 0.5 g/kg IV over a period of 6 hours on each of 4 consecutive days. Main study parameters/endpoints: EMBs: virus (PVB19, enteroviruses, adenoviruses, Epstein-Barr virus, human herpes virus-6 and cytomegalovirus), inflammation (lymphocytes an macrophages) and fibrosis. Cardiac functional capacity: NYHA classification, echocardiographic evaluation (left ventricular ejection fraction, end-systolic diameter, end-diastolic diameter).
