NCT01975389
This study evaluates the PCSK9 inhibitor, Bococizumab (PF-04950615;RN316), compared to placebo, in reducing the occurrrence of major cardiovascular events, including cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, stroke, and unstable angina requiring urgent revascularization in high risk subjects who are receiving background lipid lowering therapy and have cholesterol laboratory values of LDL-C \>/= 100 mg/dL (2.6 mmol/L) or non-HDL-C \>/=130 mg/dL (3.4 mmol/L).
NCT02505867
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of in-hospital diagnosis and treatment of sleep disordered breathing (SDB) on post-discharge mortality and readmissions in- hospitalized patients with acute heart failure syndrome and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF).
NCT00679549
This study will evaluate whether treating sleep apnea while in the hospital would help heart failure, and assist recovery from the worsening of the heart function more than the current clinical standard of waiting for treatment until the subject have left the hospital. Heart failure affects more than 2% of the US population and is the only cardiovascular disorder with rising incidence. The annual cost of CHF in 2005 was $ 27.9 billion, large percentage of which is the cost of hospitalizations for exacerbation of CHF. Half of patients with CHF have some form of sleep apnea, and most of them go undiagnosed. Patients with CHF and OSA benefit from treatment with CPAP as an outpatient. The society can benefit from developing recommendations for approaching sleep apnea in the hospitalized CHF patient, which may shorten length of stay, improve functional status of discharged patient, and reduce rehospitalizations.
NCT00510198
The purpose of the PRECEDE-HF study is to collect data to compare patients whose heart failure is managed using Cardiac Compass with OptiVol (which is a tool in the device that records information about the heart that doctors can use to help treat their heart disease) combined with standard treatment methods (Access Group) to patients whose heart failure is managed by standard treatment methods only (Control Group). This comparison will show if the additional monitoring provided by Cardiac Compass with OptiVol delays the time patients are first admitted to hospital for heart failure or delays the time to death.
NCT01498692
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the PROMUS Element™ Everolimus-Eluting Coronary Stent System for the treatment of patients with up to 2 de novo atherosclerotic coronary artery lesions. The lesions can be located in vessels that are smaller than average-sized.
NCT01500434
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the PROMUS Element™ Everolimus-Eluting Coronary Stent System for the treatment of patients with up to 2 de novo atherosclerotic coronary artery lesions. The lesions can be longer than average-sized.
NCT01663402
Primary Objective: To compare the effect of alirocumab with placebo on the occurrence of cardiovascular (CV) events (composite endpoint of coronary heart disease (CHD) death, non-fatal myocardial infarction (MI), fatal and non-fatal ischemic stroke, unstable angina (UA) requiring hospitalization) in participants who experienced an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) event 4 to 52 weeks prior to randomization and were treated with evidence-based medical and dietary management of dyslipidemia. Secondary Objectives: * To evaluate the effect of alirocumab on secondary endpoints (any CHD event , major CHD event, any CV event, composite of all cause mortality/non-fatal MI/non-fatal ischemic stroke, CHD deaths, CV deaths, all cause mortality). * To evaluate the safety and tolerability of alirocumab. * To evaluate the effect of alirocumab on lipid parameters.
NCT00807040
People with coronary artery disease (CAD) or people who have had a heart attack may develop a leak in the mitral valve of their heart and may therefore need to undergo surgery to fix the valve. The best way to fix the mitral valve remains undetermined. This study will evaluate whether it is better for people with severe mitral valve leakage to undergo a mitral valve replacement procedure or a mitral valve repair procedure.
NCT00927784
Left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) are one treatment option for people with congestive heart failure. This study will evaluate the safety of injecting mesenchymal precursor cells (MPCs) into the heart during LVAD implantation surgery and examine if injecting MPCs into the heart is effective at improving heart function.
NCT01076348
Safety and effectiveness will be summarized for the model 4965 lead. This study was conducted within Medtronic's System Longevity Study (SLS).
NCT00916929
To demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the Impedance Monitoring Feature in St Jude Medical cardiac devices.
NCT00418314
The objective of this study is to demonstrate that frequent atrio-ventricular (AV/PV) and inter-ventricular (V-V) delay optimization using QuickOpt in patients with cardiac resynchronization therapy device results in improved clinical response over standard of care (i.e. empiric programming or one-time optimization using any non-intracardiac electrogram optimization methods).
NCT00187200
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the benefit of interventricular (V-V) delay optimization in reducing the non-responder rate in patients with cardiac resynchronization defibrillator (CRT-D) devices. The primary endpoint of this study is CRT responder rate. For patients enrolled with new CRT-D systems, patients are considered non-responders if BOTH of the following requirements are fulfilled: * \< 10% improvement in 6-minute hall walk, and * no class improvement or worsening in New York Heart Association (NYHA) scale. For those receiving CRT-D devices as replacements of older CRT-D systems, patients are considered non-responders if BOTH of the following requirements are fulfilled: * \> 1 heart failure (HF) related hospitalization, and * no class improvement or worsening in NYHA scale.
NCT01638897
The purpose of this study is to evaluate long-term performance of the DF4 Connector System. This evaluation is based on the number of DF4 lead-related complications occurring during the study compared to the number of leads enrolled in the study. The DF4 systems will be followed for 5 years after implant. This study is required by FDA as a condition of approval of the DF4 Connector Systems. This study is conducted within Medtronic's post-market surveillance platform.
NCT01993862
The purpose of this study is to determine whether it is safe to send patients home from the hospital on the same day following an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) implant.
NCT02470312
The goal of this registry/observational study is to collect data on the clinical utility of MediGuide™ system in cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) implantation and electrophysiology (EP) procedures.
NCT01826019
The overall objective of the HOPE-4 Phases (HT and CVD) is to develop, implement and evaluate an evidence-based, contextually appropriate programme for cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk assessment, treatment and control involving: (1) simplified algorithms implemented by non-physician health workers (NPHW) and supported by e-health technologies (tablets programmed with decision and counselling support software); (2) initiation of evidence-based cardiovascular (CV) medications and (3) treatment supporters to optimize long-term medication and lifestyle adherence.
NCT01510327
