Comparison of Moderate-Intensity Statin Plus Ezetimibe vs. High-Intensity Statin for Coronary Plaque Stabilization
This study is a prospective, multicenter, randomized clinical trial aimed at comparing the effects of moderate-intensity statin plus ezetimibe combination therapy versus high-intensity statin monotherapy on coronary plaque stabilization. Using advanced imaging techniques such as near-infrared spectroscopy-intravascular ultrasound (NIRS-IVUS), the trial evaluates whether the combination therapy is non-inferior to monotherapy …
Mechanisms of Semaglutide Therapy in Heart Failure Patients
Semaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, primarily used for treatment of type-2 diabetes mellitus. GLP-1 receptors are present on pancreatic islet β-cells, δ-cells and α-cells. Their stimulation increases insulin and somatostatin secretion, and decreases glucagon secretion. In addition, GLP-1 receptor agonists appear to have multiple extrapancreatic actions, which …
REMAP ECMO - Beta Receptor Modulation Trial
In this phase 2, single center, randomized clinical pilot trial, investigators will study the effect of a strategy involving a reduction of beta receptor (BR) stimulation (by decreasing dobutamine dosages) and subsequent BR inhibition (through ultra-short acting betablockers), versus a (routine) strategy with continued BR stimulation through dobutamine infusion, on …
BiVACOR® Total Artificial Heart Early Feasibility 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 …
OPtimal Adult Heart Transplant Immunosuppression With MicroRNA Levels
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 …
Spot Analysis of Natriuresis to Guide up- or Down-titration of Diuretic Therapy in Ambulatory Patients With Chronic Heart Failure
Heart failure is a chronic condition that causes congestion and frequent hospitalizations. Diuretic doses are usually adjusted based on clinical judgment without an objective measure of response. This study will test the feasibility of using point-of-care urine sodium measurements to guide up-titration or down-titration of loop diuretics in ambulatory patients …
A Study of Real-world Events of Vericiguat in Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease and Heart Failure
Chronic Kidney Disease often requires dialysis and other treatments to sustain life, and patients frequently suffer from heart failure, which exacerbates the disease burden. Research has shown that the incidence of heart failure is high among patients on dialysis, and the prognosis is poor. In recent years, there has been …
Digital Health Physical Activity Program for Older Family Care Partners of Patents With Heart Failure
The purpose of the Aim 3 study is to conduct a pilot randomized controlled trial to assess feasibility and preliminary effects of the TPA4You intervention.
Cardiac RadiothErapy For hEart faiLure
Preliminary data suggests that patients suffering from advanced refractory heart failure (HF) could benefit from single low dose whole heart external beam radiotherapy (EBRT). Objective: To explore in our center the efficacy of administering a EBRT treatment of 5Gy to the whole heart in patients with advanced and refractory HF. …
Social Prescribing to Improve Adherence and Outcomes in Women With Heart Failure
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 …
