The purpose of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Prizvalve Pro™ transcatheter aortic valve system in the treatment of patients with severe aortic stenosis who are at high risk of surgery or who are not suitable for surgery.
The hypothesis is that SEV result in superior valvular hemodynamics (more pronounced during exercise) and exercise capacity relative to BEV. Furthermore, the hypothesis is that stress CMR will be able to demonstrate differences in these hemodynamic parameters. CMR will also provide refined assessment of paravalvular leak and its impact on …
The current American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association (ACC/AHA) guidelines recommend surgery in patient with mitral regurgitation (MR) based on 1) the severity of MR and 2) the presence or absence of symptoms. Studies have shown that Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (CMR) is an accurate method to quantify the severity of …
INTRODUCTION Cardiovascular diseases, including coronary artery disease (CAD), are the leading cause of mortality worldwide. Despite remarkable advancements in diagnostic and therapeutic approaches, CAD continues to pose formidable challenges. Atherosclerosis, characterized by the deposition of lipids, inflammatory cells, and fibrous tissue within the arterial walls, is the fundamental pathology underpinning …
In this study, investigators will compare the effect of vicadrostat combined with empagliflozin with the effect of spironolactone combined with empagliflozin on renal function and changes in protein profiles in blood and urine. The hypothesis is that the renal and cardiac responses between vicadrostat and spironolactone differ due to mechanistic …
Study start date is on Nov 27th 2024. A patient with an initial ejection fraction (EF) of less than 40%, whose follow-up shows an improvement to an EF of 50% or higher, along with the left ventricular end-diastolic diameter returning to the normal range and taking 3 more heart failure …
This project is part of the ACHIEVE GREATER (Addressing Cardiometabolic Health In Populations Through Early PreVEntion in the GREAT LakEs Region) Center (IRB 100221MP2A), the purpose of which is to reduce cardiometabolic health disparities in two cities: Detroit, Michigan, and Cleveland, Ohio. The ACHIEVE GREATER Center involves four separate but …
Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) decreases heart failure hospitalizations and mortality and increases left ventricular Ejection Fraction (EF) in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy, left bundle branch block and QRS duration \>130msec. His bundle pacing has a similar effect in this category of patients. However, CRT is not beneficial in heart failure …
The development of symptomatic heart failure is frequently preceded by a pre-clinical period of structural remodeling in the heart. The remodeling process driving this transition, however, remains poorly understood. The investigators hypothesize that imaging the diffusion of water in the heart with MRI will allow its microstructure to be resolved. …
Lung cancer surgery causes significant changes in the small circulation as well as changes in the intrathoracic anatomy. The effects of lung cancer surgery on electrocardiography and the cardiac stress associated with the procedures have not been previously extensively studied. The aim of the present study is to ascertain whether …
