In this study, investigators will compare the effect of vicadrostat combined with empagliflozin with the effect of spironolactone combined with empagliflozin on renal function and changes in protein profiles in blood and urine. The hypothesis is that the renal and cardiac responses between vicadrostat and spironolactone differ due to mechanistic …
Study start date is on Nov 27th 2024. A patient with an initial ejection fraction (EF) of less than 40%, whose follow-up shows an improvement to an EF of 50% or higher, along with the left ventricular end-diastolic diameter returning to the normal range and taking 3 more heart failure …
This project is part of the ACHIEVE GREATER (Addressing Cardiometabolic Health In Populations Through Early PreVEntion in the GREAT LakEs Region) Center (IRB 100221MP2A), the purpose of which is to reduce cardiometabolic health disparities in two cities: Detroit, Michigan, and Cleveland, Ohio. The ACHIEVE GREATER Center involves four separate but …
Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) decreases heart failure hospitalizations and mortality and increases left ventricular Ejection Fraction (EF) in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy, left bundle branch block and QRS duration \>130msec. His bundle pacing has a similar effect in this category of patients. However, CRT is not beneficial in heart failure …
In this monocentric observational study the research question is to what extent data collected via Apple Watch can predict the heart failure status of decompensated HF patients. For this purpose, physiological data from the Apple Watch (such as single-lead electrocardiogram, SpO2, respiratory rate, step count, nighttime temperature, etc.) will be …
The purpose of this study is to identify changes in heart tissue structure and biological function in patients with heart failure by performing an endomyocardial biopsy (EMB or heart biopsy) during a right heart catheterization (RHC). The ultimate goal is to use this information to develop new treatments for heart …
In this single-centre, cross-sectional study, the investigators aim to assess the prevalence of asymptomatic echocardiographic structural and functional cardiac abnormalities in adult CKD patients with additional cardiovascular risk factors. Furthermore, with the use of Olink technology, analyses of the plasma proteome will be performed to identify potential protein pathways associated …
Advances in prenatal and neonatal care have improved outcomes in children with severe congenital heart disease (CHD). With the increase in survival, neurocognitive problems such as executive functioning (EF) impairments have become more apparent in these children. EF problems have cascading negative effects on a child's development. New insights in …
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 …
The objective of this randomized clinical trial is to compare the effects of a standardized exercise program alone versus the same program combined with neuromuscular electrical stimulation in patients undergoing heart failure . The main questions it aims to answer are: Assessing the ultrasonographic parameters: echo intensity (echogenicity), cross-sectional area, …
