Arterial Stiffening as a Predictor for Diastolic Cardiac Dysfunction and HFpEF
Patients at risk for developing heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) will undergo a structured clinical assessment, transthoracic echocardiography and pulse-wave analysis to investigate the association of arterial stiffening and the development of cardiac diastolic dysfuntion and HFpEF.
Platelet Derived Growth Factor Receptor ß (PDGFRß) Imaging in Cardiac Fibrosis
An observational, cross-sectional, longitudinal, microdosing Position Emission Tomography (PET) imaging study to investigate platelet derived growth factor receptor beta (PDGFRß) expression in the heart of patients with high or low risk of heart failure after a ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) after a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with a stent procedure, …
Left Ventricular Reverse Remodeling Evaluation After Surgical Correction of Aortic Regurgitation
Investigators assume that surgical correction approach to functional mitral regurgitation during intervention for chronic aortic regurgitation in patients with severe enlargement of the left heart chambers influences reverse remodeling of the left ventricle (LV) in the postoperative period. It is suggested that functional mitral regurgitation (MR) provides supra-physiological left ventricle …
CMR Assessment of Cardiac Microvascular Dysfunction in Patients With HFpEF
Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) causes hospitalizations, premature mortality and high health care costs. This is also due to poor understanding of HFpEF pathogenesis and, thus, lack of specific therapies. Prompted by the recent demonstration that HFpEF clusters different clinical phenotypes, the investigators propose that these phenogroups are …
Associations Between the Microbiome, Skeletal Muscle Perfusion, and Fitness Status
The purpose of the study is to determine associations between fitness status, bacteria in the mouth, and the blood flow to muscle. This study is trying to find out if fitness status impacts the bacteria that are present in the oral microbiome (environment in the mouth) or the ability of …
Chronical Illness-related Limitations of the Ability to Cope With Rising Temperatures, Third Wave
The CLIMATE-III Observational Study examines to what extent chronically ill patients experience adverse health effects because of heat and whether the patients' specific health behavior, somatosensory amplification, risk and benefit perception, self-efficacy, health literacy, and the degree of urbanisation of the patients' administration district are associated with these effects. Study …
Assessment of Left Ventricular Filling Pressure by Applying Artificial Intelligence Algorithms to Left Atrial Speckle-tracking Echocardiography
The goal of this single-center, prospective, observational study is to validate a software package based on an artificial intelligence algorithm for automated non-invasive estimation of LVFP against invasively measured ones by left and right heart catheterization; In addition, the added value of this new automated software to detect increased LVEDP …
The Epidemiology and Pathophysiology of Kidney Disease in HFpEF With Obesity
This research study wants to learn about Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) with Obesity, and Heart Failure with preserved Ejection Fraction (HFpEF) and better ways to evaluate these diseases. HFpEF means that the heart is not able to fill properly with blood while it is resting so the amount of blood …
Secondary Mitral Regurgitation Treatment With MitraClip and Assessment by Cardiac Magnetic Resonance
This is a multi-center, prospective, observational study designed to evaluate the impact of LV myocardial fibrosis extent assessed by CMR on LV reverse remodeling and clinical outcomes post TEER. The target sample will be up to 125 patients enrolled to achieve 100 evaluable at 6 months of follow-up. Enrollment will …
Noninvasive Cardiovascular Diagnosis of Patients With Fully Magnetically Levitated Blood Pumps
Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD) therapy has become a well-established treatment option for endstage heart-failure either as a bridge to transplant (BTT) or destination therapy (DT). Monitoring of the pump and with this the cardiac status with the HeartMate 3 (HM3) is currently very limited to infrequent log-files with one …
