Cardiovascular and Renal Endpoints With Flozins - an Observational Prospective Study in CKD HFpEF Patients
The main aim of this study is to holistically assess the cardiovascular and renal outcomes in HFpEF CKD patients with and without SGLT2 inhibition, with focus on the endothelial disfunction, MACE and mortality using clinical evaluation, flow mediated dilatation, carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity, intima-media thickness, echocardiographic parameters, NMR metabolomics and …
Cardiovascular Health Education Via Virtual Reality for Breast Cancer Survivors Receiving Anthracyclines or Trastuzumab
The main goal of this study is to test a virtual reality (VR) program, Survivors' Virtual Reality Survivorship Experience (SurviVRSE), designed to help Breast Cancer survivors (n=30) learn about heart health. The aims are to test the usability, feasibility, and acceptability o the intervention. Additionally, follow-up assessments will examine changes …
Test 2 Treat: Can we Improve the Testing and Treatment of High Cholesterol in Patients Who Have Been Hospitalized for a Cardiac Event by Providing Education to Doctors and Patients?
The goal of this implementation trial is to learn if providing education to doctors and patients who have had a heart event works to prevent future heart problems. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does educating the doctors in a health system improve how often patients in the …
Examining the Effectiveness of Carbohydrate Loading as a Nursing Intervention in Enhanced Recovery After Surgery
The concept of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols has revolutionized perioperative care by promoting a series of evidence-based practices aimed at reducing surgical stress and improving patient outcomes. Among these practices, preoperative carbohydrate loading has emerged as a significant intervention designed to mitigate the adverse metabolic effects of surgery
Tackling Disruptions to Frailty Interventions: Developing Personalized Interventions Targeted for Older Persons With Cardiac Frailty
Background: Muscle mass loss and metabolic dysfunction, exacerbated by inactivity and nutritional inadequacies, underpin both cardiovascular disease and frailty in ageing. The investigators' proposal seeks to develop interventions in exercise and diet that are targeted for older adults with cardiac frailty. Methods The investigators' proposal is a five-year study comprising …
Inherited Cardiac cONditions In Kids
All patients with heart disease should have the opportunity to participate in research into their condition, to advance knowledge and treatment. The investigators have built an online registry and database - The Heart Hive - to connect research-willing participants (with heart muscle disease) with active researchers and projects. Participants enrol …
Cardiovascular Risk Assessment For Kidney Transplantation - Utility of Computed Tomography Coronary Angiography in the Assessment of Patients Awaiting Kidney Transplantation
Cardiovascular disease (for example, heart attack, stroke, heart failure) is the commonest complication of kidney failure. Kidney transplantation reduces cardiovascular risk but cardiovascular disease remains the commonest cause of death in patients following transplantation. Current strategies to assess patient's cardiovascular risk prior to kidney transplantation do not identify those at …
Virtual Care Strategies to Improve Participation in Cardiac Rehabilitation Among Veterans
Home-based CR (HBCR) is an alternative to traditional CR programs that has comparable efficacy in improving morbidity/mortality and increases access to critical services. There is major potential to improve Veteran engagement in CR by combining digital coaching (d-Coaching) with existing VA-supported technologies. The investigator's theory-based intervention targets a critical component …
Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Fx-5A in Healthy Volunteers
Background Heart disease is the leading cause of death, disability, and healthcare expense in the United States. Researchers think a new drug called Fx-5A may be useful to treat different cardiovascular diseases and inflammation. Objective To understand the safety, tolerability, and effects of Fx-5A. Eligibility Healthy people ages 18 and …
TRANSCRIBE (Transcriptomic Analysis of Left Ventricular Gene Expression)
Hypothesis: The investigators hypothesize that genetic variants will alter gene expression in response to ischemia during cardiopulmonary bypass. To test this, the investigators will be taking small pieces of heart tissue from patients undergoing heart surgery before and after this period of ischemia. This will be compared to blood gene …
