The intervention being piloted in this study is a novel system of supporting older individuals (\>60 years old) with heart failure to self-manage their chronic condition through the use at home of a digital health tool that facilitates the
The prevalence of Iron Deficiency and Iron Deficiency Anemia in Korean HF patient
This is a prospective cohort study, where the investigators aim to investigate the effect of implementation of an electronic nudge alerting clinicians to the prescription of the 4 key pharmacological classes for the treatment of patients wi
The purpose of this study is to understand the effects of a ketone drink on exercise capacity and other cardiovascular parameters in patients with heart failure. In heart failure, patients are limited in their ability to do all the things t
Transthyretin Amyloid Cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) is a serious and life-threatening condition where a protein called transthyretin (TTR) misfolds and builds up as amyloid fibrils in the heart muscle. This buildup causes the heart to become sti
The purpose of this study is to determine if rosiglitazone treatment improves integrated cardiovascular performance in patients at risk for congestive heart failure. A second aim of this study is to determine if treatment with rosiglitazone
This randomised controlled study investigates the effect of Kinesio Taping on pulmonary function, respiratory muscle strength, functional capacity, functional mobility, hand grip strength, quality of life and level of depression in patients
The purpose of this study is to determine clinical outcomes related to deactivation of Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy device in subjects with super response.
Chronic Heart Failure (CHF) is a growing public health issue in Canada. Hospital re-admission within 1-year after diagnosis is 25-40%, and the 5-year rate of CHF death is 50%.
This is a multi-center retrospective analysis of consecutive adult patients with cryptogenic stroke patients following a comprehensive workup for the underlying stroke etiology. Patients will be eligible for inclusion if the index stroke ev
Approximately half of hypertensive patients have diastolic dysfunction and diastolic dysfunction is associated with development of congestive heart failure and increased mortality. Although diastolic heart failure associated with hypertensi
Heart failure (HF) is a common disease, which impacts on other organs. Despite an ongoing progress in knowledge about HF, there are still some uncharted aspects of impact of HF on respiratory system.
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is an X-linked disorder that causes muscle wasting, cardiopulmonary failure, and premature death. Heart failure is a leading cause of death in DMD, but substantial knowledge gaps exist regarding predisposin

The investigators aim to examine how medical conditions that indicate high cardiometabolic risk, such as increased body weight, high cholesterol levels and high blood pressure, affect heart structure and function among individuals with know
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether pulmonary blood volume (PBV) derived from contrast echocardiography can serve as a non-invasive surrogate for invasive pulmonary artery wedge pressure (PAWP) during exercise. Also, to compare
The purpose of this study is to better define and understand potential cardiac toxicities of proteasome inhibitors and to understand optimal management strategies to treat and prevent cardiovascular events.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the benefit of biventricular pacing in patients with heart failure who were receiving optimal pharmacological therapy, and who were either with or without an ICD indication
One-stop procedure combining catheter ablation (CA) and left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) has been a feasible treatment for patients with atrial fibrillation at high risk of stroke and/or bleeding. Although it could achieve considerable
