Vericiguat and Reverse Remodeling Indices in Heart Failure
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate how vericiguat benefits adults with stable heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) who are already receiving guideline-directed medical therapy. The main questions are: Does vericiguat improve right ventricular systolic function, measured by tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE)? Does vericiguat …
Surgical Versus Percutaneous Revascularization in Patients With Reduced Left Ventricular Function (STICH 3.0-NL)
This randomized multicenter trial compares coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in 358 patients with ischemic left ventricular dysfunction and multivessel coronary disease. The study evaluates differences in survival, major cardiovascular events, and quality of life over 4 years, and contributes to the international STICH 3.0 …
Chronic Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction - COngestion eValuation
Heart failure (HF) is a significant cause of death and the leading cause of hospitalization in patients over 65 years of age. Congestion is the main source of symptoms and the leading cause of hospitalization for HF. Furthermore, congestive signs identified in asymptomatic patients are associated with the risk of …
Home-Based Cardiac Rehabilitation for Patients With Heart Failure
The vast majority of individuals with heart failure do not participate in center based cardiac rehabilitation (CBCR). While steps to increase utilization of CBCR are important, many individuals will still not participate for a variety of reasons. This pilot randomized controlled trial is evaluating a home-based cardiac rehabilitation (HBCR) intervention …
Sustaining Home Heart Failure Palliative Care in Rural Appalachia
The aim of this mixed methods randomized controlled trial is to test the integrated nurse-led intervention bundle for family home care management of end-stage heart failure and palliative care in rural Appalachia. This intervention bundle is designed to address rural disparities in access to health care, with the help of …
TRICuspid Intervention and Invasive Hemodynamic Monitoring in Heart Failure
Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is a severe and highly prevalent disease that leads to right-sided heart failure. The severity of TR is associated with increasing morbidity and mortality. While severe TR and right-sided heart failure have an impact on the quality of life and prognosis of the individual patient, repeat heart …
AlEX-DHF: Ablation and Exercise in Diastolic Heart Failure
The investigators analyze the impact of exercise and ablation in patients with symptomatic short-persistent atrial fibrillation (Afib) and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). It is hypothesized that the combination of ablation and exercise better improves peak oxygen consumption (VO2peak) through improvement of peripheral (exercise training) and central (ablation) …
Congestion and LActate at diScHarge in Acute Heart Failure
Acute heart failure (AHF) is a leading cause of hospitalization and is associated with high short-term morbidity and mortality, with 20-30% of patients experiencing rehospitalization or death within 30 days. Early adverse events often reflect incomplete recovery, highlighting the need for improved risk stratification after clinical stabilization .Current prognostic approaches …
Comparing the Diagnostic Sensitivity and Specificity of Pleural Fluid N-Terminal Pro B-type Natriuretic Peptide (NT-proBNP) and Other Biochemical Gradient Criteria in Distinguishing Heart Failure and Non-heart Failure Related Pleural Effusions (CENTRE Study)
To assess the discriminative properties of pleural fluid (PF) N-terminal-proB-type-natriuretic-peptide (NTproBNP) levels in identifying heart failure (HF)-associated pleural effusions (PE).
Human/Machine Interface: What the HeartMate 3 ® Device Tells Us About the Future
Durable left ventricular assist devices (dLVAD) have been increasingly utilized since the mid to late 1990s, with an uptick of utility starting in 2010 following expanded indications for therapy to not only include a bridge to transplantation strategy, but also for those individuals who suffer from advanced heart failure (HF) …
