Mitral Regurgitation Treatment in Advanced Heart Failure
Heart FailureMitral RegurgitationMITRADVANCE-HF is a prospective, randomized, parallel-controlled, open-label, multicentre study trial enrolling patients with SMR and advanced HF on maximally tolerated standard of care therapies for HF according to the most recent guidelines. Enrolled patients will be randomly assigned, in a 1:1 ratio, to a device arm consisting of MitraClip therapy added to optimal medical therapy (OMT) or a control arm of OMT alone. Approximately 20 Italian high-volume centres will be involved. Enrolment duration will be of 24 months. Follow-up visit will be performed at 3, 6, and 12 months. Primary end-point was the absolute change in overall KCCQ summary score (KCCQ-OS) from baseline to 3 months follow-up.
Remote Motivational Interviewing to Improve Self-care in Heart Failure Patients

Haiti Community Health Workers (CHW) Adaptation
Heart FailureEvidence-based interventions to improve linkage and outcomes for heart failure (HF) patients requires input from stakeholders: patients, community health workers (CHWs), healthcare staff, and health system administrators. In this research the investigators will assess a CHW intervention designed to improve linkage to care for HF patients. This intervention was systematically adapted for use in rural Haiti in a prior study using the Assessment, Decisions, Administration, Production, Topical Experts, Integration, Training staff, Testing (ADAPT-ITT) framework. The ADAPT-ITT framework provides 8 sequential phases to adapt interventions and programs to new target audiences. It has been applied successfully to the adaptation of several interventions for HIV among under-resourced communities leading to randomized clinical trials. With the first 6 steps of the ADAPT-ITT framework completed in a prior study, this protocol outlines the training and testing of the adapted CHW intervention. In addition to assessing the feasibility, appropriateness, and acceptability of the adapted intervention through participants' feedback, the investigators will assess its efficacy in improving HF outcomes. The proposed intervention is targeted at both the patient domain - through improved peer support - and health system domain - by improving health system navigation.
Implementing a Digitally-enabled Community Health Worker Intervention for Patients With Heart Failure...
Heart Failure,CongestiveThe purpose of this study is to assess the acceptability, feasibility, and preliminary effectiveness of implementing a 30-day digitally-enabled community health worker intervention compared to usual care with a community health worker in reducing heart failure 30-day readmissions within a pilot randomized controlled trial.
The Safety of Dapagliflozin in Hemodialysis Patients With Heart Failure
Hemodialysis ComplicationSGLT2 inhibitor is a new type of sugar-lowering medicine and is recommended to treat heart failure. eGFR lower than 30ml/min/1.73M2 is contraindication of SGLT2 inhibitor. Heart failure is one of the most frequency CVD events for hemodialysis patients. But hemodialysis patient is unable to be treated with SGLT2 inhibitors as the contraindication. However, solute and fluid clearance are dependent on dialysis, but not renal function in hemodialysis patients. There is no data of SGLT2 inhibitor on hemodialysis patients. The aim of the present study is evaluate the safety of Dapagliflozin in hemodialysis patients with heart failure. This is a randomized, control, open study. 20 hemodialysis patients with heart failure will be recruited. 10 of 20 subjects will be treated with dapagliflozin 10mg everyday for 12 weeks. The primary outcome is the number of patients with hypoglycemia or urinary infection. The secondary outcomes is the changes of NT-.

Metabolic Mapping and Cardiac Resynchronization
Heart FailureThe purpose of this study is to gather information on the safety and effectiveness of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) in patients who have mild heart failure (HF) and left bundle branch block (LBBB).
Use of the Impella BTR™ in Patients With Heart Failure: An Early Feasibility Study
Heart FailureAcute Decompensated Heart FailureThis is a prospective, multi-center, single-arm, early feasibility study that aims to evaluate the safety of the Impella BTR™ in adult patients requiring left-ventricular hemodynamic support, and to evaluate the effectiveness of the Impella BTR™ in supporting patients to recovery or their next therapy.
Motivational Enhancement - Acute Decompensated Heart Failure and OSA
Acute Decompensated Heart FailureObstructive Sleep Apnea2 moreA feasibility randomized controlled trial will be conducted with a 6-month follow up to: Examine the impact of early intensive telemedicine motivational enhancement (TIME) vs standard of care on PAP adherence (n=40/group) and continuity of care at 3 and 6 months post-discharge in patients admitted with ADHF with a new inpatient diagnosis of OSA(REI>5). Assess the effect of early telemedicine integrated with motivational enhancement (TIME) vs standard of care on patient reported outcomes including Functional Outcomes of Sleep questionnaire (FOSQ-10), Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ-12). Investigate the impact of early TIME vs standard of care on 6-month hospital readmissions.
