This phase II, multi-center, open-label study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of utilizing HCV-positive donors for heart transplant in HCV-negative recipients treated with sofosbuvir 400 mg / velpatasvir 100 mg (Epclusa®).
Heart failure affects 1 to 2% of the adult population in developed countries, representing about 55 million people worldwide. Advanced heart failure is a condition where the heart can no longer provide sufficient cardiac output or equilibrate pressures within its chambers, leading to symptoms such as shortness of breath, fatigue, …
Ongoing self-care for heart failure is essential to avoid complications and hospitalization. Supportive strategies are needed; however, patients with heart failure may find many interventions complicated and overwhelming. The purpose of this pilot study is to implement a simple weight tracking tool (Wake and Weigh) to affect self-care and quality …
There is evidence for the effectiveness and feasibility of the individual components of TIER-HF-PC, however there is a need to test how these individual components interact to allow the researchers to deliver TIER-HF-PC as a model of care in its totality. In the short term, this study will assess if …
In Ghana, about 88.3 per cent of cardiac admissions are due to Heart failure, making it the leading cause of admission due to heart conditions. Despite improved knowledge on heart failure and an increasing array of evidence-based guideline treatment options, there is still a significant readmission rate worldwide. This may …
The RightAIDE study is a prospective, multicenter, observational registry designed to evaluate the real-world application of the HeartInsight™ algorithm for predicting acute heart failure (HF) events in patients implanted with a Biotronik ICD or CRT-D device with atrial sensing and Home Monitoring capability. Heart failure is a growing public health …
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effects of a home-based exercise program using mobile technology on physical activity and capacity, frailty and muscle mass, and quality of life in patients with a newly implanted HeartMate 3 left ventricular assist device (HM3 LVAD). Researchers will compare the …
This study looks at people with heart failure who are admitted to the hospital. The goal of the study is to understand whether taking a heart failure medicine called angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitor (ARNI) before hospital admission affects short-term health outcomes. The study will compare two groups of participants: those who …
FIGHT-HF is an exploratory non-randomized open-label study evaluating a heart failure management intervention. The goal of this pilot is to assess the performance of a fluid-guided heart failure management program and Alert Response Guide (ARG) using the Bodyport Cardiac Scale and Congestion Index in 50 adult participants with acute and …
The heart failure syndrome that occurs when the heart is too sick to properly do its job. One of the main symptoms is difficulty with exercise. One way to improve symptoms is to start patients in a 12 week exercise program called cardiac rehabilitation. Cardiac rehabilitation been shown to improve …
