The overall hypothesis of this study is that subtle interactions between structural (substrate) and functional (trigger) abnormalities of the heart, some of which are genetically-determined, can be used to identify patients at high risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD). Such information may be used to better define patients most likely …
This is a multi-centre, single blind, randomized study. Patients admitted to hospital with acute decompensated heart failure will be randomized to biomarker guided discharge algorithm vs usual care in a 2:1 ratio. NTproBNP and other biomarkers will be measured within 24 hours of admission. The NTproBNP results will be used …
Heart failure occurs when the heart is no longer able to pump blood around the body properly. It can cause breathlessness, swollen feet and ankles, and tiredness. In about half of patients with heart failure, one measure of the heart's pumping function, called the 'ejection fraction', is normal. This type …
Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) has grown to become the dominant form of heart failure (HF) worldwide, in tandem with ageing of the general population and the increasing prevalence of obesity, diabetes mellitus and hypertension. In 2020, \> 70% of patients with heart failure had preserved ejection fraction. …
Heart failure occurs when the heart cannot pump blood effectively, leading to fluid buildup in the body. This can cause problems such as difficulty breathing, swelling, and extreme tiredness. In severe cases, these symptoms worsen to the point where hospitalization is required. Unfortunately, many patients with severe heart failure are …
The objective of this study is to widely implement and evaluate the Care Transitions App in a randomized controlled trial. The app the investigators designed for patients with multiple chronic conditions has four envisioned modules: 1) falls-reduction content, 2) a digital post-discharge transitional care plan (e.g., after hospital care plan, …
An observational cohort study to evaluate the benefit of functional parameters, radiomics and blood biomarkers to predict the outcome of patients with acute heart failure.
This is a prospective observational cohort study conducted in Qujiang District, Zhejiang Province, China, aiming to evaluate the effectiveness of a comprehensive management program for elderly patients with chronic cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). The program integrates pharmacological treatment, lifestyle modification, health education, and long-term follow-up, with enhanced monitoring using 7-day ECG …
This study will collect physiologic data in patients with cardiovascular conditions and observe the natural history of those conditions for research purposes.
The goal of this observational study is to learn whether information collected during routine hospital care, together with blood and urine samples, can help doctors better identify different types of cardiogenic shock and better predict outcomes in adults hospitalized with acute heart failure and cardiogenic shock. The main question is …
