The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the clinical efficacy of physiological pacing combined with atrioventricular node ablation, in patients with Heart Failure with preserved Ejection Fraction (HFpEF) and well controlled permanent atrial fibrillation.The main question it aims to answer is that heart rate regularization added to physiological …
This study will test whether pharmacologic agents that increase perfusion \[Potassium Nitrate (KNO3)\], with and without additional supplements that may improve mitochondrial function \[Propionyl-L-Carnitine (PLC) and Nicotinamide Riboside (NR)\], improve submaximal exercise endurance and skeletal muscle oxidative phosphorylation capacity (SkM OxPhos) in participants with Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction …
Diagnosing heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) in patients complaining exertional breathlessness can be challenging: diagnostic algorithms and scores have low sensitivity, and ageing-associated comorbidities can complicate the interpretation of symptoms. Thus, exercise right heart catheterization (RHC) or invasive cardiopulmonary exercise test (iCPET) have been advocated as gold-standard methods …
To evaluate the role of exercise hemodynamic testing in the diagnostic workup for patients with dyspnea on exertion referred to the catheterization lab.
The correlation of coronary microvascular function and body composition with cardiopulmonary exercise capacity will be assessed in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction.
The PeriCut early feasibility study will evaluate the safety and feasibility of successfully performing a minimally invasive pericardiotomy in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction using the PeriCut Catheter System.
This study will test whether pharmacologic agents that may improve mitochondrial function and energy fuel metabolism \[Empagliflozin (Empa)\], with and without additional supplements that increase perfusion and fatty acid oxidation \[Potassium Nitrate (KNO3)\], improve submaximal exercise endurance and skeletal muscle oxidative phosphorylation capacity (SkM OxPhos) in participants with Heart Failure …
The transition period from hospital to home is a time of heightened risk for patients to experience adverse events, medication errors, and readmission to the hospital. Patients at the highest risk include older adults and patients with low health literacy, socioeconomic disadvantages, and/or multiple comorbidities. This project proposes to expand …
Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) causes symptoms of breathlessness and leg swelling. It is associated with significant number of hospital admissions and could lead to the patient's death. In HFpEF, the pumping function of the heart is normal but the heart is too stiff to fill properly. The …
Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) represents a major public health burden that is both growing rapidly and has few effective therapies. Supervised exercise training (SET) is one of the few effective therapies for older patients with HFpEF, but is currently constrained by cost, resource limitations, and sub-optimal short …
