Active clinical trials for "Ventricular Dysfunction"

In a prospective observational cohort study (n = 100), the investigators aim to assess the correlation between cardiac biomarkers, advanced echocardiography and cystic fibrosis genotype and severity and determine whether these are prognostic markers of heart disease in patients suffering from cystic fibrosis (CF).

The purpose of the INOVATE-HF study is to demonstrate the long-term safety and efficacy of vagus nerve stimulation with the CardioFit® system for the treatment of subjects with Heart Failure.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of a device called CoSeal™. CoSeal™ is an FDA approved synthetic (man-made) surgical sealant which is currently used to help stop leaks in blood vessels during surgery. This study is evaluating CoSeal™ when it is applied to various areas of the heart during the surgery to implant a Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD). the investigators are looking for evidence which indicates that CoSeal™ may be useful in reducing or stopping bleeding, the occurrence of micro emboli (small particles of air or blood), and the formation of cardiac adhesions (scar tissue strands that may form around the heart in the area of a previous LVAD operation) in patients who undergo LVAD implantation surgery.

The aim of this study is to identify existing definitions and therapeutic approaches for acute right ventricular injury (RVI) in patients receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for respiratory support. The objective of the study is to generate expert consensus statements on the definition and management of acute RVI in this high-risk patient population, using a Delphi method. The standardised RVI definition during ECMO for respiratory support and a consensus-based management approach to RVI will facilitate systematic aggregation of data across clinical trials to harmonise patient selection and compare therapeutic interventions.

This trial will compare two strategies for patients with Heart Failure, Left Ventricular systolic dysfunction, and intermediate QRS durations. The control group is conventional CRT. The experimental group is LVendo CRT

The 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).

The purpose of this study is to determine if taking iron supplement pills improves exercise performance in low-oxygen conditions.

The 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

This 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.
