Heart failure (HF) is a growing health and economic burden around the globe, and it remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among the general population. HIV is recognized as an independent risk factor for HF, due to direct and indirect effects. Furthermore, people living with HIV (PLWH) now …
Heart failure affects 1 to 2% of the adult population in developed countries, representing about 55 million people worldwide. Advanced heart failure is a condition where the heart can no longer provide sufficient cardiac output or equilibrate pressures within its chambers, leading to symptoms such as shortness of breath, fatigue, …
This is a single-center, non-randomized study.The study staff will use the InSpectraTM tissue oxygen saturation (StO2) monitor manufactured by Hutchinson Technology to measure baseline StO2 levels after applying the noninvasive probe to the thenar eminence. After a stable reading is obtained, a blood pressure cuff will be inflated 40 mmHg …
This is a 60-patient randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled mechanistic study to understand the utility of empagliflozin in worsening heart failure (HF) patients with or without diabetes. Participants will be randomized to empagliflozin or placebo for 6 weeks, followed by a crossover of placebo patients to active therapy at 6 weeks-12 weeks.
The purpose of this study is to better understand the time course of different biological mechanisms involved in acute decompensated heart failure complicated by cardiogenic shock throughout the evaluation of changes and the relationship among markers of inflammation (IL-6) and markers of increased endothelial permeability (Ang-2) or endothelial glycocalyx perturbation …
Despite improvements in therapy, heart failure is a disease with high mortality and accelerating prevalence. To improve patient care, it is necessary to better understand the features and underlying mechanisms of myocardial remodeling; how it manifests in vivo and its underlying cellular and extracellular changes. The RELAX study will offer …
This is an observational registry, which main purpose is to assess sex-related differences in heart failure (HF) presentation, management, and prognosis in patients admitted to a hospital with a certain diagnosis of HF. The diagnosis will be based on European Society of Cardiology (ESC) definition of HF ( clinical syndrome …
The study aims to assess the effect of music on the heart resulting in a change in their exercise capacity among systolic heart failure patients undergoing Cardiopulmonary Exercise testing.
Evaluation of the HEMOTAG® system in a less controlled environment and concurrently develop the system for use by patients with heart failure.
This study will test the effectiveness of a culturally-sensitive, telephone-based, tailored problem-solving intervention to improve physical and mental health in Veterans with heart failure (HF). Veterans will be recruited from VA clinics throughout the United States. As a component of this study, Veterans will partner with a registered nurse for …
