Diffusion MRI in Heart Failure
The development of symptomatic heart failure is frequently preceded by a pre-clinical period of structural remodeling in the heart. The remodeling process driving this transition, however, remains poorly understood. The investigators hypothesize that imaging the diffusion of water in the heart with MRI will allow its microstructure to be resolved. …
Multidimensional Approach for COPD and High Complexity
The MACH Study trial will examine the impact on high complexity COPD patients of a multidimensional approach (moderate-intensity physical activity program and clinic-therapeutic re-evaluation of the participants)
NT-ProBNP-based Heart Failure Screening and Prevention Trial in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes: STRONG-DM Study
A pragmatic, randomized clinical trial to evaluate the effect of a heart failure (HF) risk assessment and prevention strategy incorporating HF clinical risk scores (WATCH-DM) with cardiac biomarker (NT-proBNP) paired with a clinical decision support tool to implement an intensive prevention strategy among patients with high risk focused on implementation …
Empagliflozin in ESKD - A Feasibility Study
The aim of this study is to learn about the safety of empagliflozin in dialysis patients as a preparation for a future large clinical trial. Empagliflozin has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of either type 2 diabetes, heart failure, or chronic kidney disease among …
Move With Air: Physiological Response Assessment
A fan blowing cool air to the face has been shown to alleviate breathlessness in malignant and non-malignant disease at rest and during exercise, however the underlying physiological mechanisms remain unknown. This random order, three-condition design study will explore physiological mechanisms of breathlessness relief with fan-to-face therapy during constant-rate exercise …
Move With Air: Exercise Training Study
The purpose of this study is to explore the role of a stream of cool air to the face, through fan-to-face therapy, as a novel adjunct non-pharmacological therapy to enable symptomatic adults with cardiopulmonary disease to exercise at higher intensities for longer durations and maximize the psycho-physiological benefits of a …
Effect of Xenon on Brain Injury After Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage
An investigator-initiated clinical drug study Main Objective: To explore neuroprotective properties of xenon in patients after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Primary endpoint: Global fractional anisotropy of white matter of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). Hypothesis: White matter damage is less severe in xenon treated patients, i.e. global fractional anisotropy is significantly …
Preventive Catheter Ablation for Ventricular arrhythmiaS in Patients With End-sTage Heart faiLure
CASTLE-VT is a randomized evaluation of prophylactic ablative treatment of arrhythmogenic ventricular scar in patients referred for HTx evaluation and diagnosed with ICM. Ablation will be performed with the use of a substrate-based approach in which the myocardial scar is mapped and ablated while the heart remains predominantly in sinus …
Sotagliflozin in Patients With Heart Failure Symptoms and Type 1 Diabetes
People with type 1 diabetes sometimes develop heart failure which can cause symptoms like breathlessness, tiredness or ankle swelling, reduced quality of life and lead to being admitted to hospital or suffering potential fatal consequences. This trial is investigating if a tablet called sotagliflozin, can improve quality of life in …
Breathlessness Patterns in Patients With Cancer, COPD and Heart Failure: an fMRI Feasibility Study
Dyspnea that persists despite optimal pathophysiological treatment is defined as persistent dyspnea. Currently all brain functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies conducted to evaluate breathlessness have done so using healthy volunteers or have concentrated on acute breathlessness. Little is known about chronic breathlessness patterns and their modulation by different triggers. …
