Prophylactic Frequent Premature Ventricular complexeS sUPPression on Left ventriculaR Function impairmEnt...
Premature Ventricular ContractionsVentricular Dysfunction1 moreThe main objective of the study is to demonstrate that prophylactic treatment of patients with asymptomatic frequent (>10%) PVCs is superior to simple follow-up strategy with no therapy to prevent subsequent LV dysfunction at 24 months. The prophylactic treatment is based on drugs ± ablation (ablation can be performed if the PVC burden remain >10% after 2 lines of AAD treatment since the initiation of the study). The primary endpoint will be the development of LV dysfunction (PVC-iCMP) defined as a 15% relative LVEF decrease (and/or a LVEF <50%) within 2 years following randomization, on cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (cMRI) (or transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) when not possible).

HypertensionPulmonary2 moreThe aim of this study is to assess whether single oral doses of Riociguat safely improve the cardiovascular function in patients with pulmonary hypertension associated with left ventricular diastolic dysfunction
DEfibrillators To REduce Risk by MagnetIc ResoNance Imaging Evaluation
Coronary Artery DiseaseLeft Ventricular Dysfunction1 moreThis trial is a prospective, multi-center, randomized study of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and mild to moderate left ventricular (LV) dysfunction. The primary objective of this study is to test the hypothesis that Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) therapy in combination with medical therapy in patients with an infarct size greater than or equal to 10% of the left ventricular mass improves long term survival compared to medical therapy alone. In addition to the 2-arm randomized trial, the study will also include a non-investigational registry of non-randomized patients.
Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance GUIDEd Insertion of Implantable Cardiac Defibrillator in Dilated...
Dilated CardiomyopathyLeft Ventricular Systolic Dysfunction1 moreCMR GUIDE DCM is a randomized controlled trial with a registry for non-randomized patients. Patients enrolled will have non-ischemic cardiomyopathy (NICM) with mild to severe Left Ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction with replacement fibrosis identified on Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (CMR). 954 patients will be randomised from 50 sites across 4-6 countries worldwide to receive an implantable defibrillator (ICD) or implantable loop recorder (ILR). Device and clinical follow-up will be performed at 3, 6, 12, 24, 36 months and at end of study.
Effects of Linagliptin on Left Ventricular Myocardial DYsfunction in Patients With Type 2 DiAbetes...
Diabetes MellitusType 21 moreThe primary objective of the study is to evaluate the effect of linagliptin 5 mg daily versus the corresponding placebo on the LV systolic function (measured by midwall shortening analysis) in patients with T2DM and a documented baseline concentric LV geometry and LV systolic dysfunction.
A Study of Ivabradine in African-American/ Black Subjects With Heart Failure and Left Ventricular...
Heart Failure (HF)This study is a prospective, open-label, single-arm intervention study in African-American/Black subjects with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). There will be a 7-day screening period, a 57-day open-label treatment period, and a safety follow-up at day 87 or 30 days after the last administration of the investigational product.
Study of Ranolazine in the Treatment of Pulmonary Hypertension Associated With Diastolic Left Ventricular...
Pulmonary HypertensionDiastolic Left Ventricular DysfunctionThis is a single center, open-label trial designed to assess the safety and efficacy of ranolazine (Ranexa) in patients with pulmonary hypertension associated with left ventricular diastolic dysfunction. All patients will receive active drug. The study includes a screening period, 6 month treatment period and a follow up period. Eligible patients who provide informed consent and who meet all inclusion/exclusion criteria will be enrolled in this study. There is neither proven therapy for patients with diastolic dysfunction-associated pulmonary hypertension nor for patients with diastolic dysfunction alone. Ranolazine, an inhibitor of cardiac repolarization (sodium channels), could represent a new and effective treatment of this entity.

Heart FailureLeft Ventricular DysfunctionThe purpose of this study is to determine the effect of remote ischemic preconditioning on exercise capacity in patients with heart failure.
Use of Adult Autologous Stem Cells in Treating People Who Have Had a Heart Attack (The TIME Study)...
Left Ventricular DysfunctionHeart attacks are a leading cause of death for both men and women in the United States. A heart attack occurs when blood flow to the heart is restricted, commonly due to a blood clot that has formed in one of the coronary arteries. If the clot becomes large enough, blood flow to the heart can be blocked almost completely and the heart muscle in that area can suffer permanent injury or death. Although a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) can be used to open up the blocked artery and restore blood flow to the heart muscle, there may be a significant amount of heart tissue that has been irreversibly damaged. Recent studies have shown that adult stem cells from bone marrow may be able to improve heart function after a heart attack. This study will evaluate the safety and effectiveness of using adult stem cells for improving heart function in people who have had a recent heart attack and a PCI.
