The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and performance of the V-LAP System in subjects with New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class II and III HF, irrespective of left ventricular ejection fraction.
Heart failure (HF) is the major cardiovascular disease that continues to grow in prevalence, largely due to aging of the population. HF is described as the inability of the heart to keep up with the demands on it and, specifically, failure
This is an prospective study conducted in a Chinese heart failure population. The study investigates the effects of cardiovascular disease risk factors such as lifestyle behaviors,biomarkers and intermediate diseases on heart failure progno
We thought to investigate the influence of DPP-4 inhibitor on the serum BNP level of diabetic patients with congestive heart failure. This study consists of two protocols.
This study will assess the safety, tolerability, and pharmacodynamics of CK-1827452 infusion in patients with stable heart failure.
More and more family members are providing care to their loved ones with prolonged and progressive illnesses. Chronic intense caregiving represents a situation of chronic stress, which takes a toll on one's mental and physical health includ
The purpose of this pilot RCT study is to evaluate the acceptability and feasibility of a SystemCHANGE™ intervention to improve medication adherence in older adults with heart failure. The intervention focuses on changing the individual's e
This is a study of the DASH diet (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) in the exploration of effective strategies for Heart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction (HFPEF) prevention.
Participants in this study will either have heart failure (HF) and are scheduled to undergo pace maker (PM) implantation, cardiac resynchronization therapy pacemaker (CRT-P), cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator (CRT-D) implantat
The RALES study has shown that spironolactone reduces the risk of morbidity and mortality both from progressive heart failure and sudden death, in patients with NYHA III or IV heart failure. This favourable effect was clearly independent fr
Background: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is a multi factorial disease, affecting clinical outcomes in failing heart (HF) patients treated by Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy with a defibrillator (CRT-d). Methods: One hundred and ninety
The EchoCRT trial evaluates the effects of Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) on mortality and morbidity of subjects with heart failure due to left ventricular systolic dysfunction, already receiving optimized HF medication, with a nar
This study aims to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of a second administration of fibroblast activation protein (FAP)-targeted immunosuppressive chimeric antigen receptor dendritic cells (CAR-DC) in patients with end-stage dilat
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of recombinant human B-type natriuretic peptide (rhBNP) on heart and renal function in patients with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) and acute renal injury (AKI).
This study is meant to predict the outcome of VAD therapy, by forming a VAD registry for quality assessment, research, and real-time monitoring of patients on VAD therapy. The goal is to optimize the use of VAD therapy for patients, to crea
This is a randomized, single-blind, placebo-controlled study conducted on healthy male subjects at a single study center to assess the safety, tolerability and the pharmacokinetics of AZD9977 following multiple-ascending oral doses at stead
