Optimizing Beta Blocker Dosage in Women While Using the Wearable Cardioverter Defibrillator
The primary objective of this pilot study is to document the percentage achievement in effective HR control (average nighttime HR < 70 bpm) during WCD use in a cohort of female patients with cardiomyopathy in an outpatient setting using continuous heart rate (HR) trends data from the WCD to optimize …
Neuromuscular Fatigue During Exercise in COPD-HF Overlap
Rationale. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and heart failure (HF) coexist in approximately one third of patients presenting with one of these conditions. From a clinical standpoint, impaired tissue oxygen (O2) delivery stands as a common pathological mechanism of these cardiorespiratory diseases. Recent evidence suggest that muscle and cerebral blood …
Treating Heart Dysfunction Related to Cancer Therapy With Sacubitril/Valsartan
To determine feasibility of recruitment and tolerability of treatment with sacubitril-valsartan among adult age survivors of cancer diagnosed at or before age 39 who have stage B heart failure.
Improving Medication Adherence Using Family-focused and Literacy-sensitive Strategies
People with heart failure who do not take their medications as prescribed are at high risk of complications leading to hospitalization, death and poor quality of life. In the proposed intervention, nurses will use easy-to-understand language to coach patients and their care partners to help them work together and build …
Bifurcation PCI With a Hybrid Strategy With Drug Eluting Balloons Versus a Stepwise Provisional Two-stent Strategy
The optimal treatment of coronary bifurcation lesions is complex and remains subject of current research. There is ongoing debate about the optimal strategy for bifurcations with upfront two-stent strategy or provisional one-stent strategy. Current European Society of Cardiology (ESC) guidelines advise a provisional approach with optional stepwise two-stent strategy in …
Metformin for Pulmonary Hypertension HFpEF
The main objective of this study is to determine the clinical efficacy of metformin versus placebo and the therapeutic response with regards to functional capacity and hemodynamics in PH-HFpEF.
Prevention of Low Blood Pressure After Cardiac Surgery in Heart Failure Patients With a Filter Called CytoSorb.
Vasoplegia is a common complication after heart surgery for heart failure. With vasoplegia, the blood vessels can no longer squeeze properly, causing low blood pressure that is sometimes difficult to treat with medication. One of the causes of this complication is likely to be the use of the heart-lung machine, …
Timely Recovery After Subclinical Heart Failure
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to assess the effectiveness of ACE inhibitors versus standard care) in reversing asymptomatic heart failure (HF stage-B) and/or diastolic dysfunction during a two-year open-label treatment period for formerly preeclamptic women on: Reversibility of structural and functional myocardial impairment in asymptomatic HF towards …
Effect of PCSK9 Inhibitors on Coronary Atherosclerotic Plaques Derived From Optical Coherence Tomography
The presence of coronary atherosclerotic vulnerable plaque significantly impacts the clinical outcomes of patients diagnosed with coronary artery disease (CAD). However, the influence of PCSK9 inhibitors on stabilizing coronary atherosclerotic plaques in individuals with early-onset CAD, evaluated through optical coherence tomography (OCT), remains inadequately understood. Moreover, there is a notable …
Propranolol Treatment for Postoperative Chylothorax
Postoperative chylothorax is a serious complication after open heart surgery for pediatric patients with congenital heart disease (CHD). While it was thought to be mechanical injury to the thoracic duct, recent research demonstrated that there are intrinsically abnormal lung lymphatics in CHD patients, and after open heart surgery, the fluid …
