The investigators will conduct a two-phase pilot study to test the feasibility and acceptability of a 12-week Chair Yoga intervention for 20 heart-failure patients. Using a patient-centered approach, investigators will involve stakeholders in designing the protocol, gather patient feedback, and refine the protocol accordingly.
Obesity, severe overweight, is a growing problem worldwide and increases the risk of heart failure, especially a type called heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). In HFpEF, the heart becomes stiffer. This makes it harder for the heart to fill with blood, which can lead to shortness of breath …
Numerous pharmacotherapies have been proven to reduce mortality and hospitalization rates for heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) patients. However, these are underutilized clinically, preventing realization of proven benefits. Simplified patient education tools and multidisciplinary teams including pharmacists have been used to improve medication optimization but in predominantly private …
This is a prospective, multicenter, randomized, open-label, parallel-controlled Phase IIb study to investigate the diagnostic-prognostic utility of XTR003 Injection integrated with 18F-FDG as an exploratory clinical trial. A total of 40-60 patients will be enrolled and randomized into two study groups as: fasting XTR003/18F-FDG group and glucose-loaded group at a …
The study will evaluate the impact of a combined device-drug strategy with Impella 5.5 with best practices and optimized GDMT on heart recovery outcomes in patients with decompensated heart failure and cardiogenic shock.
Aortic valve stenosis (AS) affects 2-7% of persons \> 65 years, symptoms include: angina and dyspnea, dizziness and syncope. Coincidence of coronary artery disease (CAD), also presenting with angina and dyspnea, in patients with AS between 40 - 65% . Angina in AS caused by significant reduction of coronary flow …
Previous data from our group showed reduced BMPR2 isoform A in pulmonary hypertension associated with left heart disease (PH-LHD) of valvular origin. Focusing on dysregulation of the BMPR2-activin pathway, a key regulator of vascular homeostasis, this project uses a multimodal approach combining molecular biology, advanced cardiac imaging, and histology. Its …
Ischemic heart disease (IHD) leads the global mortality statistics. Atherosclerotic plaques in coronary arteries hallmark IHD, drive hypoxia, and may rupture to result in myocardial infarction (MI) and death of contractile cardiac muscle, which is eventually replaced by a scar. Depending on the extent of the damage, dysbalanced cardiac workload …
The PACE-FIB trial is a multicentre, randomised, open-label clinical trial. Patients older than 18 years, with permanent AF, LVEF\>40%, average resting heart rate ≤ 110 beats per minute (bpm), at least one hospitalisation due to HF in the previous year and basal NT-proBNP level\>900 pg/ml will be randomised to either …
The hypothesis of the study is, that there is a significant interaction in treatment effect between the OCT pattern of neointima (heterogeneous or homogeneous) and the type of percutaneous coronary intervention (drug-eluting stent or drug-coated balloon) in patients with in-stent restenosis.
