Optimising Pacing for Contractility 2
The investigators have demonstrated that they can reliably identify an optimum heart rate range for contractility of the left ventricle in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). They have also demonstrated in an acute cross-over and a small parallel group feasibility study that keeping the heart rate in this range …
SGLT2 Inhibitors, Ketones, and Cardiovascular Benefit Research Plan
The study team will examine the effects of SGLT2i (and SGLT2i-induced increases in plasma ketone concentrations) on skeletal muscle and cardiac ketone uptake, skeletal muscle bioenergetics, cardiopulmonary exercise capacity, and patient-reported functional outcomes.
Targeting Breathing Limitations to Improve Functional Outcomes in HFpEF
The overall purpose of this study is to investigate whether pulmonary limitations that increase the oxygen (O2) cost of breathing impact dyspnea on exertion (DOE) and peak exercise capacity in patients with HFpEF and obesity. As per investigator's hypothesis, obesity is likely a significant contributor to DOE and exercise intolerance …
A Study of IBI362 in Subjects With HFpEF or HFmrEF Combined With Obesity
This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of IBI362 in Chinese subjects with heart failure with ejection fraction retention/mild ejection fraction reduction (HFpEF/HFmrEF) combined with obesity (BMI≥28kg/㎡). This study will enroll about 141 NYHA Class II-III HFpEF/HFmrEF subjects combined with obesity. Eligible …
Bariatric Surgery Evaluation and Assessment of Treatment Efficacy - Intervention Trial
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate if a bariatric surgery strategy will improve clinical endpoints, cardiac parameters and functional status in patients with obesity (with BMI 32-40 kg/m2) and symptomatic HF with preserved or mildly reduced LVEF in combination with AF, as compared to standard of care. …
PReventive Effect Of Left Bundle Branch Area Pacing Versus righT vEntricular paCing on All Cause deaTh, Heart Failure Progression, and Ventricular dysSYNChrony in Patients With Substantial Ventricular Pacing (PROTECT-SYNC): Multicenter Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial
PROTECT-SYNC study is a multicenter, randomized, controlled trial. A total of 7 medical centers across Republic of Korea will enroll 450 patients during 2 years of enrollment period, and followed for 2 years of follow-up period. The purpose of this study to compare the clinical outcomes of Left Bundle Branch …
His-bundle Pacing vs. Right Ventricular Apical Pacing in Patients With Reduced Ejection Fraction
The study compares standard right ventricle apical pacing with so called His-bundle pacing, for patients with slightly or moderately reduced ejection fraction and atrioventricular block requiring pacemaker therapy. The primary outcome is left ventricular ejection fraction measured after 6 months.
The Effect of Different Low-Level Tragus Stimulation Parameters On Autonomic Nervous System Function
Low level transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (LLTS) involves delivery of electrical impulses transcutaneously at the auricular branch of vagus nerve and it has been shown to have anti-inflammatory and anti-arrhythmic effects. In previous studies from our laboratory, we found that LLTS significantly suppressed atrial fibrillation (AF) inducibility and decreased AF …
Exercise Right Ventricular Coupling in HFpEF
The investigators aim to evaluate the feasibility and prognostic value of right ventricular-arterial coupling (RVAC) during exercise in patients with HFpEF-PH using a hybrid technique of real-time CMRderived volume measures and CardioMEMS-derived pulmonary artery pressure measurements. The investigators will determine: Whether exercise RV-arterial coupling at baseline (assessed using hybrid CMRCardioMEMS) …
Study of the Clinical Impact of Surgical Correction of Tricuspid Insufficiency in Implantable LVAD Patients
The use of implantable left ventricular assist devices (LVAD) has increased over the last decade; partly because the newer continuous flow pumps feature a smaller design and better durability. These pumps have shown improved outcomes for those patients who don't qualify for heart transplantation and receive the LVAD device as …
