Reducing Fluid Overload in Heart Failure Patients Using a Non-invasive, Renal Independent System
The REFORM-HF study aims to test a new technology, AquaPass, designed to assist patients experiencing symptoms of fluid overload due to Heart Failure. Patients will wear a lightweight suit that helps remove excess fluids through their sweat. The investigators want to see if the AquaPass system can remove an additional …
Effect of Empagliflozin on Left Atrial Function in Adults at Risk for Heart Failure
Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) reduce CVD events, including incident HF. SGLT2 is a glucose transport protein in the kidneys. Inhibition of this protein results in glucosuria and lower serum blood sugar. The SGLT2i medications were initially approved to treat type 2 diabetes (T2D). In 2015, Zinman et al. published …
Simple Urine Composition-based Personalized Algorithm for Effective Congestion Relief in Decompensated Heart Failure
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of loop diuretic adaptative algorithm that is based on machine learning, urine output prediction tool, in decongestion of acute heart failure patients. A total of 90 patients will be enrolled in the study. Of these, 45 will be assigned to …
Modulation of SERCA2a of Intra-myocytic Calcium Trafficking in Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction
The goal of this clinical trial is to test an experimental gene therapy in participants with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, also known as diastolic heart failure. The main questions it aims to answer are: safety and tolerability of the gene therapy; and whether the gene therapy helps the …
MOVE-HF MOtivating Physical Activity With BehaVioral Economics in Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction
This is a three-arm, randomized, controlled trial to test the effectiveness of gamification plus a social incentive - either social support or competition - to increase adherence to physical activity among individuals with HFpEF. There will be a 2-week run-in period to obtain baseline measures of physical activity, followed by …
A Study of 68Ga-Fibroblast Activation Protein Inhibitor (FAPI) Positron Emission Tomography in Heart Failure
The purpose of this study is to assess the performance of 68Ga- FAPI PET in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF)
Exercise Capacity Improvement by Conduction System Pacing in heArt Failure patieNts Without Compelling CRT inDication
This randomized controlled trial aims to investigate the impact of conduction system pacing in comparison to right ventricular apical pacing on exercise capacity, as measured by peak oxygen uptake (VO2peak), in heart failure patients with indication for pacing but no compelling indication for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). The mechanisms of …
Sotagliflozin to Slow Kidney Function Decline in Persons With Type 1 Diabetes and Diabetic Kidney Disease
Powerful new drugs that can prevent or delay end stage kidney disease (ESKD) - so called sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) - are now available for patients with type 2 diabetes. Whether these drugs have similar effects in patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D) remains unknown because of the few studies …
Effect of Weight Loss on Physical and Cardiac Performance in People With Obesity and Heart Failure
The benefit of weight loss in patients with obesity and heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) is controversial. Semaglutide has shown cardiovascular (CV) risk-reduction and impact on CV risk factors including overweight, dysglycaemia and hypertension in subjects with type 2 diabetes (T2D). The STEP-HFpEF (Semaglutide Treatment Effect in People …
Feasibility and Effectiveness of Eccentric Exercise in Sarcopenic Older Adults with Heart Failure: a Pilot Study
This study is designed to evaluate the safety, feasibility, and effectiveness of a 12-week eccentric exercise program for older adults with sarcopenia (muscle loss) or sarcopenic obesity and chronic heart failure (HF). The program aims to improve physical performance, muscle strength, and overall health without causing excessive strain on participants. …
