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 …
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 …
Use of Dapagliflozin in Primary Prevention of Cardiotoxicity of Anthracycline Chemotherapy in Breast Cancer Patients
The goal of this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial is to determine whether dapagliflozin, a sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitor, can help prevent anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity caused by anthracycline chemotherapy in adult women with breast cancer receiving (neo)adjuvant treatment. The main questions the study aims to answer are: i) Does dapagliflozin reduce …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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).
Online Tai Chi Plus Fitbit After ACS
This projects studies the role of tai chi exercise and wearable fitness trackers to promote physical activity in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) survivors.
Short-term Exposure to High Altitude in Patients With Asymptomatic Aortic Stenosis
Aortic stenosis is a common disease with increasing prevalence due to an aging population. Aortic valve replacement is indicated for symptomatic severe aortic stenosis. Leisure activities and tourism at high altitude destinations are popular but may impose a higher risk to patients with aortic stenosis. Pathophysiological considerations led to an …
