This study is designed to assess the safety profile and the efficacy of cardiac repair cells (CRCs) administered via catheter in treating patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM).
Right ventricular (RV) failure after cardiac surgery is associated with morbidity and mortality, but is hard to diagnose with conventional echocardiographic means. RV dysfunction may be associated with hepatic congestion, which may have an
Heart failure is a progressive disease that decreases the pumping action of the heart. This may cause a backup of fluid in the heart and may result in heart beat changes.
The purpose of this study is to determine if treating anemia with subcutaneous erythropoetin in patients with heart failure and a preserved ejection fraction (HFPEF) will be associated with reverse ventricular remodeling, significant improv
Low magnesium levels are surprisingly common in those with a heart condition known as HFpEF, where the heart pumps well but is too rigid to fill properly with blood. While routine blood tests can check magnesium levels, they don't tell us h
Patients with heart failure (HF) have an amelioration in clinical outcomes during a restricted dietary salt intake. To date, they experienced an amelioration of functional New York Association Heart (NYHA) class, reduction of hospital admis
The overall objective of this study is to characterize the prevalence and progression rate of subclinical atherosclerotic lesions and to study their association to the imaging characteristics of atheroma plaques and to the presence of genet
The purpose of this study is to evaluate if motivational interviewing, performed remotely through videocalls, is effective to improve self-care in patients with heart failure
This study will assess the functionality and tolerability of an automated continual water removal system in up to 8 patients with HF and diuretic resistance. intervention: Implanted absorption chamber, connected to an external pump.
Patients with marginal physiologic reserve, severe frailty, and/or malnutrition may be regarded as unsuitable candidates for advanced cardiac replacement therapies. However, little data exist on precisely which measures are predictive of su
The objective of this prospective observational study is to evaluate the effects of Impella 5.5 on biventricular function in adult patients with end-stage heart failure requiring temporary mechanical circulatory support. The study will asse
This study is design to evaluate the effectiveness of oral iron therapy in patients with heart failure and identify the central and peripheral mechanisms involved in the improvement of functional capacity after intervention. The investigati
This is a prospective, single-arm clinical trial in which participants with dilated cardiomyopathy will invite their first degree relatives to undergo mobile cardiac, electrocardiogram screening.
Previous studies have shown that patients with heart failure with reduced pumping function and preserved kidney function experience improved symptoms, longer survival, and fewer hospitalizations when treated with medications such as epleren
In 2016, the European Heart Association defined the median ejection fraction heart failure for the first time. More research is needed to improve our understanding of this population, so as to make the best clinical decision and improve the
The purpose of this clinical investigation is to assess the programming behavior of the physicians in the patient cohort. Furthermore, the acceptance level of specific programming recommendations based on the patient's clinical needs and pr
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of levosimendan infusion, in addition to standard therapy,on renal function in patients with Acute Heart Failure,compared with standard therapy alone.
To explore the use of the Bodyport Cardiac Scale in predicting worsening of events due to fluid overload in patients with kidney disease on peritoneal dialysis.
There is some evidence to suggest that patients with heart failure may have a reduced dietary intake of vitamins and essential minerals (micronutrients) and that this may worsen the function of the heart. This study is designed to investiga
The aim of the study is to determine the effect of breathing and relaxation exercises on dyspnea, fatigue and self-care level in heart failure patients.
