NCT03089398
The purpose of the study is to learn which treatment option is better for patients who have multi-vessel coronary artery disease (blockages in more than one vessel supplying blood to the heart muscle). The treatment options this study will compare are: (1) Hybrid Coronary Revascularization \[HCR\] (a combination of surgery and catheter procedures to open up clogged heart arteries) and (2) Percutaneous Coronary Intervention \[PCI\] (catheter procedures alone to open up clogged heart arteries). There are no new or "experimental" procedures being tested in this study: both HCR and PCI are well-established procedures and are regularly performed in patients who have coronary artery disease. But, the FDA has not approved the drug-eluting stents used in PCI for all types of coronary artery disease. We have received an Investigational Device Exemption from the FDA to use the drug-eluting stents in this trial in the same way that they are used in clinical practice. The study being proposed here will use rigorous scientific methods and should result in a very high level of certainty about which procedure is best for patients with coronary artery disease.
NCT03066050
This study is a continuation of two previous studies --- the Severe Ischemic Mitral Regurgitation (SMR) Trial (NCT00807040) and the Moderate Ischemic Mitral regurgitation (MMR) Trial (NCT00806988) --- to learn more about patients' health 5-10 years after their mitral valve surgeries. The investigators will collect long-term health information on SMR and MMR trial participants using electronic medical records, patient and/or family input, public records, and healthcare- and vital status-related databases.
NCT03252093
Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) is a surgical procedure known to be associated with cognitive impairment. Mechanisms of cognitive impairment are complex but may include insufficient oxygenation and inflammation due to exposure to the bypass circuit. Currently there are no approved therapeutics for the prevention or treatment of cognitive impairment in these patients. A small peptide, Angiotensin-(1-7) \[Ang-(1-7)\], is known to decrease inflammation in the brain in animal models. Early studies in humans have shown it to be safe. This peptide is naturally produced by the body and has anti-inflammatory and vasodilatory effects. Investigators believe that Ang-(1-7) may be able to help lower the risk of cognitive dysfunction in patients undergoing CABG. The goal of this project is to explore effects of the experimental peptide Angiotensin-(1-7) (Ang-(1-7) in patients undergoing an elective CABG surgery to determine its safety and efficacy to prevent cognitive dysfunction in patients undergoing CABG.
NCT06571747
In randomized clinical trials and observational studies, influenza vaccination is effective in reducing influenza-related illness and hospitalizations and potentially cardiovascular (CV) events and mortality in select populations. However, the potential population-level benefit of influenza vaccination is limited by its uptake. Novel implementation strategies to improve vaccination uptake are needed. KP VACCINATE is a multicenter, sequential, individual-level randomized controlled implementation trial examining the effectiveness of a CV-focused nudging communication vs. usual care communication on influenza vaccination uptake among Kaiser Permanente Northern California (KPNC) and Kaiser Permanente Mid Atlantic States (KPMAS) eligible members during the 2024-2025 influenza season.
NCT06443814
This randomized controlled trial compared the efficacy of stress reduction with meditation to a health education (HE) group in 201 older African American women over a one-year study period. They were randomly allocated to either of two behavioral treatment groups-the Transcendental Meditation (TM) program or a health education (HE) program. Participants were recruited, tested, and instructed at two clinical sites: Howard University Hospital, Washington, DC and Morehouse (School of Medicine) Healthcare, Atlanta, GA. Main outcome measures were carotid intima-media thickness, insulin resistance, and behavioral factors.
NCT04141605
The primary objective of this study is to collect real-world clinical performance data to assess the clinical outcomes of patients receiving heart transplants using donor hearts transported via the SherpaPak CTS System. These results will be compared to outcomes of retrospective patients whose hearts were transported with the previous standard method.
NCT06171698

The purpose of this post approval study is to characterize the chronic performance of the SJM Optisure family of HV leads in patients.
NCT02922036
This study is a prospective, multi-center, pivotal trial to study the safety and efficacy of the WiSE-CRT System for Cardiac Re-synchronization Therapy.
NCT04737265
Investigators will evaluate the safety and feasibility of a biomarker-guided cardioprotection strategy using NTproBNP, as compared to usual care, in breast cancer and lymphoma patients treated with anthracyclines.
NCT05176756
This is a two-arm, randomized, controlled trial to evaluate the effectiveness of using a behaviorally designed gamification intervention with social support compared to an attention control group to increase physical activity during a 6-month intervention with a 3-month follow-up period. We will enroll 150 Black or Hispanic breast and prostate cancer survivors who are at an especially high risk for developing major CVD from two U.S. cancer centers: the University of Pennsylvania Health System and City of Hope National Medical Center. All participants will receive a wearable activity tracker (Fitbit) and will be enrolled in the Way to Health system, a research information technology platform at the University of Pennsylvania. Within the Way to Health platform, patients will set a goal to increase daily step count from baseline, and will then be randomized to gamification plus social support or to attention control. The study will evaluate the effect of the gamification intervention on daily physical activity (as measured by daily steps and moderate to vigorous physical activity), physical function, fatigue, and health-related quality of life.
NCT04907526
Researchers want to better understand what happens to the heart when the autologous (from one's own body) stem cells are injected directly into muscle of the right side of the heart during the Fontan (Stage III) surgery. They want to see if there are changes in the electrical activity, the structure, and the function of the heart following this stem cell-based therapy. Researchers will compare the results from people who receive the stem cells to the results from people who do not receive the stem cells.
NCT05882045
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of retatrutide once weekly in participants with obesity and established cardiovascular disease (CVD). The study will last about 113 weeks.

A multi-center, prospective \& retrospective, observational single-arm study of the clinical outcomes up to one year collected from electronic health records of patients which have undergone standard of care implantation of Impella 5.5, regardless of clinical situation or indication. All patients will be enrolled via an IRB-approved Waiver of Informed Consent and HIPAA Authorization. All patients who were supported retrospectively (prior to site IRB approval) with Impella 5.5 at the investigative site will be entered into the SURPASS registry and specified as the retrospective cohort.
NCT06212466
A prospective, multicenter, observational, single-arm trial to validate CardioFlux MCG's ability to diagnose myocardial ischemia caused by coronary microvascular dysfunction in patients with suspected ischemia and confirmed no obstructive coronary artery disease (suspected INOCA) by using diagnostic measures of coronary flow reserve (CFR) via invasive angiography as a reference standard for diagnosis.
NCT06944509
The Azurion R4.0 is developed by Philips Medical Systems Nederland B.V., a Philips Healthcare company. The Azurion is an interventional X-ray system which is used for live X-ray imaging during invasive cardiac procedures. The proposed Azurion R4.0 includes new x-ray image postprocessing (Xres5) compared to its predecessor, which was equipped with ClarityIQ image post-processing (Xres4). Azurion R4.0 is a cleared device for EU-MDR regulated countries, submission for FDA510K clearance in the US is pending. Sites in the US will only be activated in the study after FDA clearance. This is a prospective, randomized, unblinded, comparative, international, multi-center clinical investigation. Randomization will be 1:1 between Xres5 and ClarityIQ (Xres4). Stratification will be performed per site on intended procedure type (based on clinical presentation) and patient BMI. Primary objective is to demonstrate that in coronary procedures, Xres5 can reduce overall patient radiation dose compared to the current ClarityIQ without affecting procedural performance. It is expected that 824 subjects are necessary to collect sufficient data for the evaluation of the objectives of this clinical study. The enrollment period is expected to last for 12 months. The study will be executed in Spain, Czech republic, Denmark and the US.
