This study aims to develop and refine a microRNA (miR) biomarker panel that can be used to phenotype net immune state after heart transplantation using circulating miRs (associated with drug doses and levels). These miRs will be used to characterize the overall immune state in adult heart transplant patients and …
Advances in flow cytometry techniques have led to a better understanding of platelet phenotypes and have revealed the existence of four major platelet populations with distinct functional properties (native, proaggregating, procoagulating, or apoptotic). These phenotypes have a significant impact on the hemostatic capacity of blood platelets, and a proportional change …
Background: Heart Failure (HF) is the second most common cause of hospitalizations for women in North America. Non-adherence to guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) is associated with 50% of all treatment failures and high rates of hospitalizations and death. A recent Canadian study showed that adherence to three or more GDMT …
This study aims to evaluate the clinical impact of an optimized pacing strategy in patients with heart failure. Intervention: Adjustment of the pacemaker lower rate limit to an individualized, hemodynamically optimized heart rate. Primary Endpoint: Heart failure symptoms, assessed by the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire score. Hypothesis: In patients with …
Heart failure is a condition in which the heart is unable to pump blood effectively, leading to symptoms like being more tired, shortness of breath, and swelling in the body. Carnitine is a naturally occurring substance in the body that plays a role in turning fat into energy. This study …
The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility of using the BiVACOR Total Artificial Heart (TAH) System to support adult patients with severe biventricular heart failure, or univentricular heart failure in which left ventricular assist device (LVAD) support is not recommended, who require mechanical circulatory support to sustain …
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 …
This study is being done to understand how much of the medicine (CDR132L) enters the bloodstream after injection under the skin compared to injection into a vein in healthy people. This will help us find the best way to give the medicine to people living with heart failure. The study …
The CAPRA-EVO trial is a single-center, randomized, open-label study with blinded endpoint assessment comparing early evolocumab plus standard lipid-lowering therapy versus standard-of-care lipid-lowering therapy in patients with acute coronary syndrome after successful percutaneous coronary intervention. The study will use serial photon-counting coronary computed tomography angiography at baseline and 52 weeks …
