Bicuspid Aortic Valve Replacement: Evaluation of Transcatheter Versus Surgery-Pilot Trial
The study protocol is a randomized trial of standard of care therapies for severe aortic stenosis (AS) in patients with a bicuspid aortic valve (BAV). Namely, the therapies to which patients will be randomized will be transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) or surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR), in patients deemed …
Anemia Therapy in Patients With Infective Endocarditis
Infective endocarditis (IE) is a bacterial infection of the heart valves, inserted material or surrounding struc-tures and is associated with a high morbidity and mortality. In patients with IE, anemia is considered to result from the underlying infection, prolonged sustained inflammatory response due to the often slow natural course of …
Coronary Laser Atherectomy Registry From an International Taskforce
This study is a prospective, investigator-initiated, multi-center, single arm, observational registry of performance of Excimer Laser Coronary Atherectomy (ELCA) in standard use cases of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Non-interventional Study Exploring the Composition of the Valvular Microbiota of Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery
The prevalence of aortic valve disease is increasing, with these valvulopathies present in half of individuals over the age of 65. Oberbach A. et al (1) demonstrated the presence of microbiota in 52% of cases of explanted aortic valves. One current hypothesis is the role of this microbiota in the …
Liver and Coagulation Disorders in Cardiac Transthyretin Amyloidosis
Transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (ATTR-CA) is a progressive infiltrative cardiomyopathy caused by the deposition of misfolded transthyretin protein within the myocardium. Current disease staging and follow-up strategies mainly rely on cardiac biomarkers and renal function; however, the systemic nature of ATTR suggests that additional organ involvement may provide valuable prognostic information. …
Comparing the Effects of Newer Pacemakers and Their Effects on the Heart and Valve Function in the Short-term.
Conventional pacemakers involve placing a lead through a valve into the bottom right chamber of the heart. Research has shown that this approach is associated with an increased risk of valve dysfunction, mortality, and impairment of cardiac function. Newer pacemakers, such as leadless pacemakers and pacemakers that engage directly with …
AIC Genotyping Study
To quantify genetic variants in a focused DCM gene panel among AF-induced cardiomyopathy (AIC) and positive/negative controls
ATR 1072 in Participants With PRKAG2 Syndrome
ATR 1072 is an investigational medicine being studied in adults with PRKAG2 Syndrome. This study will evaluate the safety of ATR 1072 and how the body processes the drug. Researchers will also assess how ATR 1072 affects PRKAG2 activity and measures of heart disease.
Vericiguat for the Inhibition of Calcific Aortic Valve Stenosis Progression
Calcific aortic valve stenosis (CAVS) is a condition in which the aortic valve progressively narrows and stiffens due to calcium deposition, eventually impairing blood flow from the heart to the body. No drug therapy has been proven to slow CAVS progression. Individuals with mild-to-moderate CAVS are managed with periodic monitoring …
Breast Cancer Long-term Outcomes on Cardiac Functioning: a Longitudinal Study
Rationale: In addition to surgery, effective breast cancer (BC) treatment typically requires chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or both. However, it is still unclear whether patients with BC are at increased risk of long-term cardiac dysfunction due to the adverse effects of these therapies. In a cross-sectional study in primary care, a comparison …
