A Clinical Trial to Define the Best Strategy for the Management of Heart Failure in Elderly Patients
Heart failure (HF) and Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) patients are frequently not administered renin-angiotensin aldosterone system inhibitor (RAASi) therapies at recommended doses due to hyperkalaemia, despite proven mortality and morbidity benefits. Sodium zirconium cyclosilicate (SZC) is a nonabsorbed potassium binder proven to lower serum potassium (S-K) and maintain normokalaemia. The …
His-Bundle Corrective Pacing in Heart Failure
The investigators aim to prospectively evaluate the efficacy and mechanism of benefit of His-bundle pacing enhanced cardiac resynchronization therapy (His-CRT) vs. cardiac resynchronization therapy (BIV-CRT) in patients with heart failure and right bundle branch block (RBBB).
Effects of Left Atrial Appendage Resection and Marshall Ligament Amputation on Clinical Outcome in Patients Undergoing Off-pump Coronary Artery Bypass
Surgical occlusion of the left atrial appendage (LAAO) is sometimes performed during the cardiac surgery to reduce long-term risk of stroke.A previous study found that LAAO may be associated with increased risk of postoperative atrial fibrillation.New-onset atrial fibrillation (NOAF) after coronary artery bypass graft is related to an increased short-term …
Comparing Natriuretic Effects of ER Torsemide to IR Torsemide in Patients With Heart Failure
The primary objective of this study is to learn whether a morning dose of extended-release torsemide enhances renal sodium excretion after lunch (4-8 hours after dosing) compared to immediate-release torsemide. This is a randomized, double-blind, crossover study in patients with heart failure who are on a stable dose of a …
Pediatric Adhesion and New Dermal Approach Study
The purpose of this study is to see if the Zio® monitor device can be worn by children for up to 14-days and to determine if the skin preparation process will provide good adherence to the skin and clear signal quality. The Zio® monitor (Study Device) is an adhesive patch …
CABGpreHAB - a Feasibility Study Protocol
Patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD) awaiting coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery often face challenges like advanced age, frailty, comorbidities, and physical inactivity. These factors, combined with the physiological and psychological stress of surgery, can hinder postoperative recovery. Traditionally, strategies to improve surgical outcomes focus on the intra- and …
Positive Emotions Following Acute Cardiac Events
The focus of this study is to test the efficacy of a 12-week, remotely delivered, positive-psychology-motivational interviewing (PP-MI) intervention, with additional twice weekly text messages for a total of 24 weeks (with interactive, algorithm-driven, goal-focused text messages in the final 12 weeks), compared to post-acute coronary syndrome (ACS) treatment as …
Effect of Colchicine on the Progression of Aortic Valve Stenosis - A Pilot Study
COPAS pilot is a pilot single center double blinded randomized study to determine the effect of targeted anti-inflammation therapy using colchicine, on valvular calcification activity using imaging, i.e. aortic valvular NaF uptake. The current proposal uses a randomized design to evaluate the effect of colchicine vs. placebo on valvular calcification …
Surviving PEA in Roanoke (SPEAR) Study
The Carilion Clinic and Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine, in conjunction with Roanoke Fire-EMS, Botetourt County Department of Fire & EMS and Salem Fire-EMS, are studying the outcomes of patients experiencing Pulseless Electrical Activity (PEA). PEA refers to a type of cardiac arrest in which there is normal electrical …
Early Cessation of Sedation and TTM in Patients With a Favourable EEG After Cardiac Arrest
The objective of this study is to estimate the feasibility and safety of early weaning from ICU treatment in patients after cardiac arrest and an early (< 12 h) favourable EEG pattern (indicating no or mild postanoxic encephalopathy).
