Valvular heart disease (VHD), caused by abnormalities in heart valves, can lead to severe complications such as heart failure and death, with approximately 220 million affected patients worldwide. The prevalence of VHD continues to grow alongside the aging global population. Transcatheter heart valve interventions have emerged as minimally invasive alternatives, …
This prospective, multicenter, open-label, randomized-controlled trial compares two treatment strategies in high-risk ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) patients referred for primary ICD implantation. Participants will be randomized to receive either prophylactic VT ablation within three months of ICD implantation or continued medical management. The primary objective is to assess the efficacy of …
The Multicenter Italian Study on Radial Mechanically Assisted Circulatory Support (MIRAMACS) is an independent, non-sponsored, nationwide observational study designed to evaluate the clinical outcomes and device performance of continuous-flow ventricular assist devices (VAD), including both second and third-generation axial and centrifugal pumps, in the adult population. Coordinated by the Cardiac …
HOPE for All is a clinical investigation to support the use of hypothermic oxygenated perfusion (HOPE) using a revised XVIVO Heart Assist Transport System in a real- world setting. The trial will investigate the application of HOPE in a broad population of Donation after Brain Death (DBD) and Donation after …
VAPP-HF is a prospective, multi-center, observational study assessing whether daily voice recordings analyzed by a machine learning algorithm can detect changes in pulmonary arterial (PA) pressure in heart failure patients with implanted PA pressure sensors (e.g., CardioMEMS, Cordella). Patients across three sites in Germany and the United States provide daily …
Acute decompensated heart failure is a leading cause of hospitalization and is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Early risk stratification in this population is crucial for guiding treatment strategies and predicting short- and long-term clinical outcomes. Transthoracic echocardiography is routinely performed in patients hospitalized with acute decompensated heart failure …
Heart failure (HF) is a chronic condition that is characterized by a weakened and enlarged heart. It typically causes symptoms such as breathlessness and swelling of the legs, and it is a serious illness that shortens life expectancy. In recent years, new medicines have been developed that can improve heart …
This observational feasibility study aims to assess (i) how practical and acceptable repeated KCCQ assessments are; (ii) the connection between changes over time in KCCQ scores and signs of congestion; and (iii) clinical outcomes, including worsening heart failure events or cardiovascular death (CVD), and the time between 5- and 10-point …
Introduction: Care for patients with heart failure (HF) often remains inadequate, even though a variety of treatment options exist. Guideline-based, multimodal therapy is rarely fully established, partly due to insufficient intersectoral cooperation and insufficient patient training. Heart failure nurses (HFN) as specialized non-medical personnel are intended to contribute to better …
The purpose of this clinical study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of intramyocardial injection of human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocyte injection (HiCM-188) in patients with advanced heart failure (NYHA Class III-IV)
