NCT00057356
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose ranging pilot study to examine the effects of conivaptan in patients with acute decompensated heart failure.
NCT00004562
The purpose of this study is to determine whether opening an occluded infarcted artery 3-28 days after an acute myocardial infarction in high-risk asymptomatic patients reduces the composite endpoint of mortality, recurrent myocardial infarction, and hospitalization for class IV congestive heart failure over an average 2.9-year follow-up with extended follow up for an average of six years. Long term follow-up of patients were completed in March 2010. Final collection of all regulatory documentation was completed June 2011.
NCT00253682
This study will determine the impact of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) on the developing cardiovascular system, the evolution of HAART-associated cardiovascular changes over time, and the association between cardiovascular measurements with HAART exposure.
NCT00233220
The purpose of this study is to test the effectiveness of a multi-component evidence-based intervention that targets both patients and physicians, in improving BP control rates in patients followed in 30 Community/Migrant Health Centers (C/MHCs).
NCT01643590
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled Phase II study is designed to assess the safety and efficacy of using JVS-100 to treat heart failure.
NCT01020227
Background: This randomized controlled trial investigates the effectiveness of an Integrative Therapies (IT) health education intervention in improving physical and psychological functioning in female patients after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG). Methods: One hundred female cardiac surgery patients were assigned to either an intervention or standard care control group. Patients in the intervention group were given a cardiac yoga video, a guided imagery audiotape, instruction in diaphragmatic breathing, and an educational booklet outlining recommendations for dietary change. Patients were followed for 6 months by a health educator who provided ongoing education and encouragement and were assessed at 6 weeks and 6 months post surgery to determine between group differences on physical functioning and psychological distress using the SF-36 and the Profile of Mood States
NCT01427634
The primary aim of the study is to provide "proof of concept" to demonstrate that patients with Ventricular Assist Devices (VADs) and caregivers are willing to be enrolled in a randomized trial of palliative care and that such a study is feasible. Secondary aims include demonstrating improvement in symptoms (physical and psychological) for intervention patients and their caregivers as compared to control patients and caregivers. The investigators will also examine differences in utilization of healthcare services, mortality, and completion of advance directives between intervention and control patients.
NCT00277524
The purpose of the OMNI study is to characterize therapy and diagnostic utilization in study participants implanted with study devices and to describe Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator(ICD)therapy utilization for life threatening arrhythmias in primary and secondary prevention study participants. This study will assess therapies in Medtronic pacemaker, defibrillator, and cardiac resynchronization therapy devices. The first therapy is for reducing unnecessary pacing in pacemaker patients. The second therapy provides pacing therapy in an attempt to stop fast or life threatening ventricular arrhythmias in lieu of delivering a defibrillation shock. The third therapy is a diagnostic measurement of a patient's fluid status and provides the physician information on the patient's heart failure status. The study will also assess the time to a patient's first defibrillation shock and will verify that the shock was for a fast or life threatening ventricular rhythm.
NCT01584622
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the CADence system, a non-invasive device, in detecting greater than or equal to 50% coronary stenosis anywhere in the coronary tree.
NCT00812552
Multicenter, case-control study, to collect data regarding incidences of late and very late drug-eluting stent thrombosis with the aim of identifying trends and possible correlates of stent thrombosis.
NCT00307047
The purpose of the SPIRIT IV Clinical Trial is to continue to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the XIENCE V® Everolimus Eluting Coronary Stent System (XIENCE V®). The XIENCE V® arm will be compared to an active control, represented by the FDA-approved TAXUS® EXPRESS2™ Paclitaxel-Eluting Coronary Stent System (TAXUS®), commercially available from Boston Scientific. TAXUS® EXPRESS2™ Paclitaxel Eluting Coronary Stent System is manufactured by Boston Scientific.
NCT00795873
Post approval study measuring safety outcomes on the Ovatio CRT-D and SITUS OTW LV lead over 5 years.
NCT00206856
To determine the clinical utility of using the Triage® BNP Test to guide therapy in outpatients with heart failure
NCT01440517
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the results of 99mTc maraciclatide scintigraphy in diabetic subjects with HFPEF. A maximum of 20 subjects with Diabetes Mellitus (DM) and Heart Failure With Preserved Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (HFPEF) will be enrolled and imaged with 99mTc maraciclatide. In addition, a maximum of 10 subjects with DM and diastolic dysfunction but no diagnosis of heart failure (HF) will be enrolled and imaged with 99mTc-maraciclatide.
NCT01539629
This 3rd phase of the ELEVATE study. The study is collecting data from an implanted CRT-D device to evaluate a new feature for future heart failure devices.
NCT01086800
This study examines the role of sleep apnea treatment in improving cardiovascular biomarkers.
NCT01960218
To determine whether, and if so, which gas exchange parameters measured on the Shape-HF Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing System predict 30 and 180 day re-hospitalization in subjects discharged from hospitalization for an episode of acute decompensated heart failure.
NCT02045043
Arrhythmias remain a major health problem, causing at least 250,000 deaths annually in the United States. Pharmacological treatments often do more harm than good, and device therapies are limited by high cost and effects on quality of life. Ion channel mutations cause rare inherited arrhythmopathies, but account for only a small fraction of patients with life- threatening arrhythmias and sudden death. Most arrhythmias occur during myocardial ischemia, following myocardial infarction, and in patients with poor left ventricular (LV) function of any etiology. Aside from ejection fraction (EF), few clinically useful indicators to stratify the risk of sudden death have been identified. The role of subtle difference in ion channel expression and/or structure in predisposing patients to arrhythmias and modulating the risk of sudden death is unknown. In this study, we are prospectively testing whether polymorphisms in ion channels and ion channel modifying genes are associated with arrhythmias in a population with internal cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) and poor LV function. We will test the hypothesis that functional polymorphisms in the coding sequences and promoter regions of cardiac genes (e.g. ion channels, beta-adrenergic receptors) predispose individuals to arrhythmias and /or heart failure progression. We hope to identify genetic predictors for the common forms of sudden cardiac death. This would allow the identification of a subpopulation of heart failure patients that would benefit most from ICD placement.
NCT01259297
This study was planned to provide new information regarding the role of aliskiren (with or without additional therapy with a diuretic or a Calcium channel blockers (CCB)) in elderly individuals (≥ 65 years) with systolic blood pressure (SBP) 130 to 159 mmHg, in preventing major cardiovascular (CV) events and on global measures of physical, executive and cognitive function.
NCT01171404
The aim of this international study is to describe the short- and long-term (i.e. up to 2 years following the index event) antithrombotic management patterns (AMPs) in patients hospitalized for acute coronary syndromes (ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), Non-ST-Segment Elevation Acute Coronary Syndrome (NSTE-ACS)), and to document the impact of AMPs in clinical outcomes, economic variables and quality of life in a 'real-life' setting and to compare these between sites, countries and regions.
