Evaluation of the Effect of Liposomal L-Arg and Vit C Integration on Mitochondrial Function in Patients With Heart Failure
Pilot study to assess the effect of L-Arg and Vit C liposomal supplementation on mitochondrial function in patients with heart failure, through analysis of the viability of mitochondria isolated from peripheral blood of mononucleate cells (PBMC).
The Inorganic Nitrate and eXercise Performance in Heart Failure (iNIX-HF)
The goals of this project are to determine the effectiveness of acute (2 hours after a single dose) and chronic (after 6 weeks of once-a-day dosing) KNO3 treatment (10mmol) vs. placebo on quadriceps muscle power and on aerobic exercise performance (V̇O2peak) in patients with HFrEF (left ventricular ejection fraction <45%). …
Assessing Systemic Circulation and LV Performance in Adults
Background There are significant limitations in the current approaches to assessing 2 important areas of cardiovascular physiology - the systemic circulation and left ventricular (LV) performance. The investigators' have repurposed the concepts of "systemic vascular conductance" to assess systemic circulation, and the "head capacity principle" to assess LV performance. The …
Use of a Novel SUBCUTaneous Preparation of Furosemide to Facilitate Early Supported Discharge of Patients With Heart Failure
To investigate whether an early supported discharge strategy for patients admitted to hospital because of HF, using a pH neutral subcutaneous (SC) furosemide formulation (SQINFurosemide) at home (delivered by non-CE marked SQINInfusor), compared to a usual care strategy with intravenous (IV) furosemide in hospital, results in an increased number of …
Right Ventricular Contractile Reserve in HF
Right ventricle dysfunction and pulmonary hypertension are related to a worse prognosis in patients with heart failure with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (HFrEF) or with normal left ventricular ejection fraction (HFpEF). There is preliminary evidence however, that the responses of the right ventricle and of the pulmonary hemodynamics to …
Safety and Efficacy of Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell-derived Engineered Human Myocardium as Biological Ventricular Assist Tissue in Terminal Heart Failure
The BioVAT-HF trial will test the hypothesis that cardiomyocyte implantation via engineered heart muscle (EHM), the proposed investigational medicinal product (IMP; designated "Biological Ventricular Assist Tissue" or BioVAT), results in sustainable remuscularization and biological enhancement of myocardial performance in the failing heart. EHM are constructed from defined mixtures of induced …
Effect of a Quality Improvement Initiative to Address Social Determinants of Health on Rehospitalization Rates in Patients With Heart Failure
The objective of this program is to improve post-acute care coordination for necessary social services for patients leaving the hospital after recovering from an episode of decompensated heart failure.
Sensor-controlled Digital Game for Heart Failure Self-management: A Clinical Trial
This study evaluates a sensor-controlled digital game (SCDG) to motivate self-management behaviors of weight monitoring and physical activity in adults with heart failure (HF). Half of the participants will receive the SCDG app and weight monitoring and physical activity sensors and the other half will receive only the weight monitoring …
Elastic Band-Progressive Resistance Training (EB-PRT) for Sarcopenia Among Heart Failure Patients
Heart failure (HF) is a complicated clinical syndrome caused by structural and/or functional cardiac abnormalities that result in ineffective myocardial pumping. HF management has placed more emphasis on improving the prognostic factors which determine these poor clinical outcomes. More recently, the prognostic role of sarcopenia in HF has received particular …
Lymphatic System Stimulation in Heart Failure
The goal of this pilot clinical trial is to obtain preliminary data on the effects of lymphatic exercise training in patients with heart failure. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: Does performing lymphatic exercise decrease fluid overload symptoms (shortness of breath, lower legs swelling, fatigue), thoracic fluid content, …
