NCT03657459
Lack of recognition of HF danger signs and lack of understanding of how to control and minimize danger signs could lead to their escalation and prompt all-cause and HF-related health care resource utilization (HCRU). Investigators hypothesize that patients must understand HF danger signs to have self-confidence in recognizing them and in taking steps to minimize or eliminate their occurrence post hospital discharge. Investigators will determine if video education in HF danger signs recognition and control prior to discharge (and post-discharge) reduces all-cause and HF-related HCRU.
NCT00243776
The study team will use small pieces of human hearts which are removed as part of a required surgical procedure to study different objectives. One of the objective is how calcium ions pass through the membrane of heart cells in order to tell the heart cell how much force to contract with when the heart beats. Investigators will also study the proteins and RNA of these pieces to determine how the newborn heart cells control their force of contraction differently from adult heart cells. Investigators hypothesize that infant hearts have different regulation of calcium entry than adult hearts. The study team also wants to study combinations of 3D cardiac spheres with multiple environmental cues that can improve functional and metabolic maturation of Human pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hPSC-CMs) and generate a more clinically relevant cell model.
