NCT01850082
Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is the most common major surgical procedure in the United States with over 300,000 cases performed each year. To restore blood flow to the heart, vascular conduits from another part of the body are procured to create a bypass around critically blocked coronary arteries. The left internal thoracic artery is the conduit of choice for CABG due to its superior long-term patency. However, almost all patients referred for CABG require additional grafts to provide complete revascularization. This necessitates the harvest of other vessels, most commonly the saphenous vein which is used almost ubiquitously in contemporary CABG with an average of two vein grafts per CABG procedure. In the last 10 years, Endoscopic Vein Harvesting (EVH) has been recommended as the preferred method over the traditional open harvesting technique (OVH) because it provides a minimally invasive approach. However, more recent investigations indicate potential for reduced long-term bypass graft patency and worse clinical outcomes with EVH. The long term impact of EVH on clinical outcomes has never been investigated on a large scale using a definitive, adequately powered, prospective Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) with long-term follow-up.
NCT02929329
The purpose of this study is to determine if treatment with omecamtiv mecarbil when added to standard of care is well tolerated and superior to placebo in reducing the risk of cardiovascular death or heart failure events in adults with chronic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF).
NCT00663871
Omega-3 fatty acids are a certain kind of fish fat that has recently been shown to have health benefits. This study will examine the effectiveness of fish oil supplementation for reducing the early signs of heart disease risk and for improving mood, impulsivity, and anger levels.
NCT01754064
SCORE is an active, prospective, non-randomized, multi-center outcome-oriented registry of patients implanted with St Jude Medical (SJM) market-released cardiac rhythm management (CRM) products. This registry will be conducted in the United States (US). The primary purpose of the registry is to evaluate and publish acute and long-term performance of market-released SJM CRM products by analyzing product survival probabilities. Product status and any related adverse events will be collected to measure survival probabilities.
NCT04075279
This is an observational study to examine the cardiovascular mechanisms of increased cardiovascular mortality in those with high activity occupations.
NCT00957073
The purpose of this clinical investigation (NCT00957073) is to continue long-term follow-up of device arm subjects enrolled in the HOPE4HF Trial, utilizing the BAROSTIM NEO™ LEGACY device for Implantable Pulse Generator (IPG) replacements.
NCT02104817
The study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled (corn oil), parallel group design that will enroll approximately 13,000 patients with hypertriglyceridemia and low HDL and high risk for CVD to be randomized 1:1 to either corn oil + statin or Epanova + statin, once daily, for approximately 3-5 years as determined when the number of MACE outcomes is reached.
NCT03203629
To conduct a prospective, observational study to evaluate the non-interventional feasibility of using heart sounds measurements recorded by the LifeVest® Wearable Cardioverter Defibrillator (WCD) for monitoring clinical evidence of heart failure decompensation.
NCT03102437
This is a multicenter, prospective, single-arm Continued Access study of the Optimizer Smart System with CCM therapy.
NCT01951625
Objective of the study is to find the optimal dose of the once daily oral soluble guanylate cyclase stimulator (sGC) BAY1021189 for Phase III that can be given in addition to standard therapy for heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF).
NCT03057977
The aim of the study is to investigate the safety and efficacy of empagliflozin versus placebo on top of guideline-directed medical therapy in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction.
NCT01925794
This is a prospective, multi-center, non-randomized, single arm clinical trial that will be conducted at up to 40 sites in the United States and Outside United States (OUS). This study will enroll patients with symptomatic ischemic heart disease due to a single de novo lesion contained within a native coronary artery with reference vessel diameter between 2.5 mm and 4.0 mm and lesion length ≤ 24 mm that is amenable to percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and stent deployment. All patients will be followed at 30 days, 6 months, 9 months, 1 year and annually for 5 years post index stenting procedure.
NCT02026466
This is an observational registry, sponsored by Saint Luke's Hospital. This study is to be conducted according to DHHS Guidelines, applicable state regulations, and local IRB policies and procedures. The overall objective is to address current gaps in knowledge regarding CTO-PCI, as a prospective, multi-center, single-arm study of 1,000 participants.
NCT03350542
EVOLVE 48 is a prospective, open label, single arm, multi-center trial. The purpose of this study is to assess the FDA requirement for safety and effectiveness of the SYNERGY 48 mm Coronary Stent System for the treatment of subjects with atherosclerotic lesion(s) \> 34 mm and ≤ 44 mm in length (by visual estimate) in native coronary arteries ≥2.5 mm to ≤4.0 mm in diameter (by visual estimate).
NCT03709693
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the rate of deep sternal wound infection at 30 days post-operative following a full median sternotomy in patients treated with SternaLock Blu for rigid sternal fixation. This study will also provide evidence of the clinical performance of SternaLock Blu for up to 90 days using real world evidence methodology. Sternal complications will be reported through 90 days follow up.
NCT01646437
The randomized 2x2x2 factorial design placebo controlled trial will enroll 5000 participants (women 60 years or older and men 55 years or older) without known heart disease or prior stroke and without a clear indication or contraindication to any of the study medications. Eligible and consenting individuals will be randomized to receive either the active study medications or placebo (dummy pills) and will be monitored for an average of 5 years. The study will include people from at 10 countries, will be conducted by an international group of scientists and physicians and will be coordinated by the Population Health Research Institute at Hamilton Health Sciences.
NCT02661217
To explore two modalities of treatment initiation (Pre-discharge, and Post-discharge) with LCZ696 in HFrEF patients following stabilization after an ADHF episode.

NCT04648306
A multi-center, prospective, observational, non-interventional single arm, study of the intermediate-term clinical outcomes collected from electronic health records of high-risk patients which have previously undergone standard of care prophylactic Impella support for a non-emergent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
