activeDCM - Interventional Clinical Trial of Individualized Activity and Exercise Programs to Improve Outcome in Dilated Cardiomyopathy Guided by Longitudinal Biosensing With Apple Watch
The influence of an individualized sports program on dilated cardiomyopathy patients will be investigated in a randomized, prospective intervention study. 300 patients with dilated cardiomyopathy are included and examined over a period of 13 months. All participants will receive an Apple Watch, which serves for monitoring of activity and symptoms.The …
Bifurcation PCI With a Hybrid Strategy With Drug Eluting Balloons Versus a Stepwise Provisional Two-stent Strategy
The optimal treatment of coronary bifurcation lesions is complex and remains subject of current research. There is ongoing debate about the optimal strategy for bifurcations with upfront two-stent strategy or provisional one-stent strategy. Current European Society of Cardiology (ESC) guidelines advise a provisional approach with optional stepwise two-stent strategy in …
Metformin for Pulmonary Hypertension HFpEF
The main objective of this study is to determine the clinical efficacy of metformin versus placebo and the therapeutic response with regards to functional capacity and hemodynamics in PH-HFpEF.
Treating Heart Dysfunction Related to Cancer Therapy With Sacubitril/Valsartan
To determine feasibility of recruitment and tolerability of treatment with sacubitril-valsartan among adult age survivors of cancer diagnosed at or before age 39 who have stage B heart failure.
Improving Medication Adherence Using Family-focused and Literacy-sensitive Strategies
People with heart failure who do not take their medications as prescribed are at high risk of complications leading to hospitalization, death and poor quality of life. In the proposed intervention, nurses will use easy-to-understand language to coach patients and their care partners to help them work together and build …
Home-based Cardiac Rehabilitation With Spot-jogging
The first purpose of this study is to investigate the physiological changes of heart failure patients during cardiopulmonary exercise test with spot jogging and compare them with the standard stationary bike cardiopulmonary exercise test. The second one is to compare the effect between home-based cardiac rehabilitation using different step frequency …
Evaluating the Reach of Clinical Decision Support for Patients With Heart Failure
To work best, clinical decision support tools (CDS) must be timed to provide support when healthcare decisions are made, which includes virtual visits (phone or video). Unfortunately, most CDS tools are either missing from virtual visits or not designed for the unique context of virtual visits (e.g., availability of physical …
Propranolol Treatment for Postoperative Chylothorax
Postoperative chylothorax is a serious complication after open heart surgery for pediatric patients with congenital heart disease (CHD). While it was thought to be mechanical injury to the thoracic duct, recent research demonstrated that there are intrinsically abnormal lung lymphatics in CHD patients, and after open heart surgery, the fluid …
Effect of PCSK9 Inhibitors on Coronary Atherosclerotic Plaques Derived From Optical Coherence Tomography
The presence of coronary atherosclerotic vulnerable plaque significantly impacts the clinical outcomes of patients diagnosed with coronary artery disease (CAD). However, the influence of PCSK9 inhibitors on stabilizing coronary atherosclerotic plaques in individuals with early-onset CAD, evaluated through optical coherence tomography (OCT), remains inadequately understood. Moreover, there is a notable …
Treatment of Moderate Ischemic Mitral Regurgitation in Patients With Coronary Artery Disease
This study aims to evaluate the effect of angiotensin receptor/neprilysin inhibitors (ARNI) on improving ischemic mitral regurgitation (IMR) in patients with coronary artery disease undergoing isolated coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) through a randomized controlled clincial trial.
