NCT01778569
Background: \- Cardiometabolic diseases are medical disorders that can occur together and affect the heart. They increase the risk of developing heart disease and diabetes. One disorder, psoriasis, is an inflammation that mostly affects the skin but can affect the entire body. Another disorder, atherosclerosis, is a process in which cholesterol is gradually deposited on the wall of arteries. This causes arteries to harden and become less flexible. Many cells that cause psoriasis also cause atherosclerosis. Researchers want to look at the relationship between cardiometabolic diseases and psoriasis. Objectives: \- To study the relationship between psoriasis and cardiometabolic diseases. Eligibility: \- Individuals at least 18 years of age who have psoriasis. Design: * Participants will be screened with a physical exam and medical history. * Participants will have up to seven outpatient visits over the 4 years. The first visit will be a screening visit. Visits 2 will be12 months after visit 1. Visits 3, 4, and 5, will be scheduled yearly for the next 3 years. If participants have a psoriasis flare with more severe symptoms, they may have an extra visit. Those who leave the study early will have a final visit with the full series of tests. * At visits 1, 2,and 5, and any flare visits, participants will have a physical exam and medical history. They will provide blood and urine samples, as well as optional tissue biopsies. They will also have heart function tests. Imaging studies, as well as optional photographs of affected areas, will be performed. These tests will also be performed at the final visit. * At visits 3 and 4, participants will have a physical exam and medical history. They will also provide blood and urine samples, and have heart function tests.

The main objective is to determine if the Reprieve DMS can more efficiently decongest ADHF patients in comparison to Control Therapy.
NCT06885177
A prospective, single-arm, open-label, multi-center IDE study with up to 55 US sites
NCT06563895
Transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR) is a disease where the normally occurring transthyretin (TTR) protein falls apart and forms amyloid, a sticky plaque-like substance that accumulates in different organs in the body and can cause damage to the organ. There are two ways that the TTR protein can fall apart. One way occurs as a person ages, where the normal TTR protein can fall apart and form amyloid that may no longer be sufficiently cleared by the body. This type of ATTR is known as wild-type ATTR (ATTRwt). The other way occurs when a person inherits a defective TTR gene that causes the TTR protein to spontaneously fall apart. This form of the disease is known as variant ATTR (ATTRv) and can be detected in adults by a genetic test of their TTR gene before they age. Amyloid build-up in the heart causes the heart wall to become thick and stiff and can result in heart failure and even death. Accumulation of TTR amyloid in the heart is known as transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy or ATTR-CM. Amyloid can also deposit in the nerve tissues leading to nerve problems. Accumulation of TTR in the nerves is known as transthyretin amyloid polyneuropathy or ATTR-PN. Acoramidis is an experimental drug designed to bind tightly to TTR in the blood and stabilize its structure, so it does not form the harmful amyloid plaques that can cause damage to organs. This study is intended to determine if treatment with acoramidis in participants with ATTRv who have not yet developed any symptoms of disease can prevent or delay the development of ATTR-CM or ATTR-PN disease. If adults with an inherited defective TTR gene are treated early before any of the symptoms of disease have developed, it may be possible to delay the onset or prevent the disease entirely.
NCT06750549
The ENGAGE-HF mobile application tracks three key features over time: (1) heart failure health status, (2) vital signs (e.g., blood pressure, heart rate) and weight, and (3) the quality of heart failure medication therapy. Helping patients understand how these characteristics interact and change over time may improve their ability to understand and manage heart failure. In this study, the investigators aim to evaluate whether the ENGAGE-HF mobile application, by facilitating the behavior change strategies of self-monitoring and feedback, and a clinician-facing dashboard, improves the optimization of heart failure guideline-directed medical therapies (GDMT) and quality of life. An optional sub-study of cognitive function will invite all eligible participants enrolled in the main study to participate.
NCT01757665
The objective of this trial is to confirm that the modifications to tissue processing, valve sterilization and packaging do not raise any new questions of safety and effectiveness in subjects who require replacement of their native or prosthetic aortic or mitral valve.
NCT06307652
This is a Phase III, international, multi-centre, randomised, double-blind, parallel-group, double-dummy, active-controlled, event-driven study in patients with chronic HF and impaired kidney function who had a recent HF event.

NCT06280820
Background: More than 6.5 million people in the United States live with heart failure (HF), and more than a million new cases are diagnosed each year. Treatments have improved in recent years, but researchers want to understand more about how HF develops. To do this, they need to compare blood and other samples from many people with HF. Objective: To collect blood and other samples from people with HF. These samples will be used to identify and study proteins and other factors that may lead to decreased heart function over time. Eligibility: People aged 18 years and older with heart failure. Design: Participants will be asked to join the study based on a review of their medical records. They will have 1 study visit. They will provide a blood sample: About 3 tablespoons will be collected from a needle inserted into a vein. Other tests are optional: Participants may provide urine and stool samples. They may have a cotton swab rubbed on the inside of the mouth to collect DNA. Participants may also take 3 questionnaires. They will answer questions about dietary, social, and other factors that affect their health. Participants will receive compensation. Researchers will follow the participants health by monitoring their medical records for up to 5 years.

Part 1: Phase 2b is a dose-finding study for CSL300 vs placebo. Part 2: Phase 3 aims to assess the efficacy of CSL300 vs placebo on cardiovascular (CV) outcomes and safety in subjects with systemic inflammation and either atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) or diabetes with end stage kidney disease (ESKD) undergoing maintenance dialysis.
NCT07613294
Lipoprotein(a), also known as Lp(a), is a protein that carries cholesterol and proteins in your blood. People with high Lp(a) have a higher risk for heart disease. The main purpose of the study is to investigate how lepodisiran, compared to a placebo, affects the amount and type of plaque in the heart's vessels using an imaging technology known as Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography (CCTA) in adults who have high levels of Lp(a). Participation will last about 120 weeks.
NCT05677100
Aortix is a circulatory support device for chronic heart failure patients on medical management who have been hospitalized for acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) and have persistent congestion despite usual medical therapy. Eligible ADHF patients with diuretic resistance (irrespective of ejection fraction) will be enrolled and randomized 1:1 to either the Aortix system or standard of care medical management.
NCT07069738
This study will compare two different methods to pace the heart to treat heart failure including: 1. The current standard method of implanting a pacing lead in a vein on the surface of the left lower chamber of the heart (left ventricle) to deliver heart failure therapy. This method is called Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT). 2. The other method is using a lead implanted in the Left Bundle Branch Area (LBBA) of your heart. This method is called Left Bundle Branch Area Pacing or LBBAP. This lead is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to be implanted in this area of the heart, but not to provide heart failure treatment.
NCT06779630
The purpose of the study is to assess the safety and efficacy of the Orsiro® Mission 48- mm Sirolimus-Eluting Coronary Stent System in the treatment of subjects with atherosclerotic lesion(s) \>36 mm and ≤ 44 mm in length (by visual estimate) in the native coronary arteries with a reference vessel diameter of 2.25 mm to 4.0 mm. Patients enrolled in the United States will be followed for 2 years post index procedure with follow-up visits at 1, 6, 12 months and 2 years post index procedure. Patients enrolled outside of the United States will be followed through 5 years post index procedure with additional follow-up visits at 3 and 5 years post index procedure.

NCT01420393
Atrial fibrillation and heart failure are two common heart conditions that are associated with an increase in death and suffering. When both of these two conditions occur in a patient the patient's prognosis is poor. These patients have poor life quality and are frequently admitted to the hospital. The treatment of atrial fibrillation in heart failure patients is extremely challenging. Two options for managing the atrial fibrillation are permitting the atrial fibrillation to continue but controlling the heart rate, or to convert the atrial fibrillation rhythm back to normal and try to maintain the heart in sinus rhythm. Until now, the method to keep the patient in normal sinus rhythm is with antiarrhythmic drugs. Studies using antiarrhythmic drugs to control the rhythm failed to show any survival benefit when compared with permitting the patient to be in atrial fibrillation. In the last few years, new development in techniques and technologies now enable catheter ablation (cauterization of tissue in the heart with a catheter) to be a successful treatment in abolishing atrial fibrillation and that this approach is better than antiarrhythmic drug to control the rhythm. However, there has not been any long-term study to determine whether catheter ablation to abolish atrial fibrillation in heart failure patients would reduce mortality or admissions for heart failure. This study is to compare the effect of catheter ablation-based atrial fibrillation rhythm control to rate control in patients with heart failure and high burden atrial fibrillation on the composite endpoint of all-cause mortality and heart failure events defined as an admission to a healthcare facility for \> 24 hours or clinically significant worsening heart failure leading to an intervention (defined as treatment in an emergency department, a same-day access clinic, or an infusion centre) or unscheduled visits to a healthcare provider for administration of an intravenous diuretic and an increase in chronic heart failure therapy. This study may have a dramatic impact on the way the investigators manage these patients with atrial fibrillation and heart failure and may improve the outlook and well being of these patients.
