Lead survivability will be summarized.
Congestive heart failure affects 2.3 percent of the population (approximately 4,900,000) with an incidence of 10 per 1,000 of the population after the age of 65 (1). The admission rate for patients with heart failure is on the rise, so is t
Summary Rationale: Cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT) with biventricular pacemakers and implantable cardiac defibrillators (ICD) has proven to be a valuable therapy in selected patients with systolic heart failure, ameliorating both mo
The purpose of this study is to determine whether comprehensive post-hospitalization interdisciplinary care management can be an effective care delivery model to improve outcomes in low-income frail elderly.
The goal of this clinical research study is to compare the effects of sodium bicarbonate to normal saline when used for clearing mucus blockage in patients with airway stents.
Background. Clinical benefits of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) have been clearly demonstrated in heart failure (HF) patients with severe left ventricular (LV) dysfunction and wide QRS at surface electrocardiogram.
In patients with HF cardiac output, metabolism and endothelial function will be studied during and after treatment with ghrelin infusion
Left ventricular (LV) lead position has crucial impact on cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) success. This study will compare fluoroscopy and myocardial deformation imaging for optimal definition of LV lead position.
Rationale Right ventricular pacing (RVP) is an established and effective therapy for patients with atrioventricular (AV) block. However, frequent RVP has been associated with left ventricular (LV) dyssynchrony and may progess heart failure.
This is a randomized study of efficiency and safety of intramyocardial implantation of peripheral mononuclear cells with high concentration of CD34+ stem cells in patients with myocardial ischemia after preparatory course of shock - wave th
The objective of this investigation is to pilot test a medication in-hand intervention (Meds to Beds) compared to standard care for patients with heart failure (ICD-50\[all numbers\]). The study will evaluate if the intervention improves ad
The purpose of this study is to evaluate long-term performance of the DF4 Connector System. This evaluation is based on the number of DF4 lead-related complications occurring during the study compared to the number of leads enrolled in the
The purpose of this study is to test a home-based exergaming intervention designed to decrease frailty and fatigue and improve affective well-being, functional capacity, and immune function in individuals with advanced heart failure (HF) an
This is an open-label, long term compassionate use study of 125 mg per day of azimilide 2HCl in a patient who completed two other protocols (2000098 and 2001060.
This observational, retrospective cohort study aims to evaluate the impact of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor use after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Using the nationwid
Acute Heart failure (AHF) is a common cause of acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD). This association is frequently underestimated with regard to the difficulty of clinical diagnosis.
The present study is designed to test the effect of AZD3427 on renal perfusion in participants with heart failure and reduced eGFR (30 to 90 mL/min/1.73m2).
The main purpose of our study is to investigate whether haemodialysis itself affects the efficacy of antiplatelet drugs and the effects of two different types of dialysis membranes (polysulfone membranes and polyamide membranes) on antiplat
Sunshine Heart is sponsoring a prospective, multi-center, randomized trial to assess the safety and efficacy of the C-Pulse® System ("C-Pulse"). The purpose of the study is to determine whether the use of the C-Pulse as a treatment for pati
The purpose of this research study is to test the function of a subjects implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) function throughout the duration of their heart surgery. ICD function can be altered during some types of heart surgery su
