NCT05705531
This study assesses how blood cell growth patterns (clonal hematopoiesis) relate to heart health or cardiovascular disease (CVD) after treatment in patients with Hodgkin lymphoma. In some patients, cancer treatment at a young age may lead to later complications, including problems with heart health. Checking for blood cell growth patterns called therapy-related clonal hematopoiesis (t-CH) can help predict who might be at risk for heart health problems after Hodgkin lymphoma treatment. If doctors know who may be at greater risk for developing later heart complications, then they can more closely monitor those patients to prevent or detect heart complications early.

A Safety, Tolerability, and Biomarker Trial of VS-041 in Participants with Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction (HFpEF)
NCT05213598
Background: In Fontan Associated Liver Disease (FALD), congestion of blood in the liver causes cirrhosis. This condition can cause death. Researchers want to understand what triggers this process and find new treatments for it. Objective: To understand how long-term congestion of blood in the liver causes liver scarring that eventually leads to cirrhosis. Eligibility: People aged 18 and older who are at risk of developing FALD from the Fontan procedure. Design: Participants will be screened with: Medical history Physical exam Blood and urine tests Liver ultrasound. This uses sound waves to take pictures of the body. Participants will have an outpatient visit within 12 weeks after screening. Within 24 weeks later, they will have a 3-day hospital stay. About 2 weeks later, they will have a follow-up visit. Visits will include repeats of the screening tests and: Heart tests Stool collection Questionnaires MRI of the liver. Participants will lie on a bed that slides in and out of the scanner. They will receive a contrast agent injected into a vein. While in the scanner, they will also have an MRCP to view the bile ducts and the pancreatic duct. Fibroscan exam. This is an ultrasound that uses a special probe to look at the toughness of the liver. Upper endoscopy. This uses a thin scope to look inside the upper digestive tract. Liver biopsy. This will be taken through large vein in the neck or through the chest. Just before the biopsy, participants will have pressure measurements inside their liver. For this, a catheter will be inserted into a neck vein and guided into the liver.
NCT07427589
The goal of this prospective study is to gain insight into the endophenotypic variation in OSA, with a focus on the underlying pathophysiological traits and the cardiovascular alterations associated with the condition. To capture the variability in OSA endophenotypes, novel metrics that extend beyond the AHI will be considered, with particular attention to the sleep-apnea-specific hypoxic burden, the sleep-apnea-specific heart rate response, and pulse wave amplitude drops (PWADs). Since the impact of treatment on cardiovascular parameters remains an important point of interest, the effects of different treatment modalities on cardiovascular changes will be investigated, including continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), mandibular advancement devices (MADs), and hypoglossal nerve stimulation.
NCT07426107
This study employs a dual-cohort design to develop and validate a prognostic model for Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events (MACE) following revascularization in immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) patients with Coronary Artery Disease (CAD). The model will be developed and trained using a retrospective multi-center cohort (development/training cohort). Its performance will then be prospectively validated in a separate, consecutively enrolled prospective cohort (validation cohort). The goal is to create an AI-based tool to assist in personalized risk assessment and decision-making for this high-risk population.
NCT01311323
MILESTONE STUDY is dedicated to problems connected with patients with multivessel coronary artery disease and/or with left main narrowing who present symptoms of acute ischemia. For such kind of patients according to current ACC/AHA guidelines CABG (surgical revascularization) is recommended as a treatment method. In comparison with CABG, recent studies have shown that PCI (percutaneous coronary intervention) is associated with a lower rate of periprocedural adverse events and similar long term event-free survival in patients with left main disease. Our latest non randomized registry and randomized LEMANS study, comparing LMCA (left main coronary artery) stenting with CABG confirmed above findings. LEMANS ACS (acute coronary syndrome) retrospective registry of patients with UPLMCA (unprotected LMCA) disease and non ST elevation ACS showed lower 30 day and trend toward lower one year mortality after PCI when compared with CABG. It should be stressed, that acute ischemia substantially increase the risk of CABG. In fact, there are limited data on the outcome of ULMCA stenting or CABG in patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS). Similarly, all randomized studies comparing PCI vs CABG in multivessel disease included mainly patients with stable angina, small cohort of patients with unstable angina and they excluded patients with non ST elevation Myocardial infarction. In the SYNTAX study -largest PCI vs CABG trial, randomized patients were patients with low perioperative risk (logistic EUROSCORE \<5) and ACS patients routinely excluded. High perioperative risk patients were included only in PCI registry.
NCT07427355
Despite the rising burden of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), including cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), across Africa, high-quality evidence on the distribution of NCDs and their risk factors remains strikingly scarce. Many global estimates continue to rely on limited empirical data from African countries, and this persistent data gap has led major international research collaborations to underrepresent the continent. This reality highlights an urgent need for granular, context-specific, and methodologically robust data on NCDs and their determinants across Africa. The African Studies on Ageing and Noncommunicable Disease Epidemiology (ASANDE) initiative responds directly to this need by assembling harmonized, individual-level datasets from African populations, complemented by comparable data from other global regions. With recruitment underway, ASANDE seeks to quantify and compare the associations between major NCD risk factors, including cardiometabolic, behavioral, and environmental determinants, and the incidence and mortality of major NCD outcomes (cardiovascular diseases, cancer, chronic respiratory diseases, diabetes, and other NCDs) across world regions, with a particular emphasis on disparities between African populations and the rest of the global population.
NCT07426952
This study is testing a new program called WeCan-Rural, designed to help breast cancer survivors manage symptoms and build healthy habits like eating well, staying active, and managing their weight. These changes may help lower the risk of heart disease after cancer treatment. The study will answer two main questions: * Can we successfully recruit and keep participants in the study, and will they find the program helpful and easy to follow? * Will people who join the program see better results in areas like weight, symptoms, diet, physical activity, and confidence in managing their health compared to those who receive standard care? Here's what participants will do: * Visit their clinic twice (about 12 weeks apart) to be weighed, have their blood pressure checked, give a blood sample, and complete a short walking test * Fill out online surveys about their health, diet, physical activity, symptoms, and confidence in managing their health * Be randomly assigned (like flipping a coin) to either receive the WeCan-Rural program or standard health information * If assigned to the program, attend 12 weekly one-hour video sessions on Zoom with a trained therapist
NCT02047396
To comprehensively characterize Left Ventricular (LV) remodeling after Myocardial Infarction (MI) in the community, study the association between patterns of remodeling and biological pathways and examine the association between the predictors of remodeling and heart failure after Myocardial Infarction.
NCT05588895
This is a prospective randomized controlled trial assessing the impact of notifying patients and their clinicians of an incidental finding of coronary artery calcification (CAC) indicating increased cardiovascular risk. Patients will be identified through completed radiology orders for non-gated, non-contrast chest CT in the appropriate clinical context and then will have an EHR screen for inclusion criteria. The presence of CAC will be confirmed by a radiologist. Eligible patients will be randomized to CAC notification or usual care using a 1:1 stratified block randomization method based on baseline ASCVD.
NCT07025629
Several millions of patients are admitted to ICUs in Europe or USA each year. We and others, have shown that patients discharged from intensive care units (ICU) have a high incidence of cardiovascular and/or renal events and high mortality rate (22%) during the year following ICU discharge. Furthermore, a very recent meta-analysis found an excess hazard of late cardiovascular events which persists for at least 5 years following hospital discharge in sepsis survivors. Hence, many international ICU societies recommended investigating and improving post-ICU outcome with scarce guidance. We demonstrated that the proportion of ICU patients dying or presenting cardiovascular events within the year following ICU discharge is reported \~25% \[2\], reaching \~40% in some studies when considering patients with acute kidney injury (AKI). Plasma biomarkers at ICU discharge have good predictive value and patients with increased kidney or cardiovascular biomarkers display high risk of such events. In addition, we and others demonstrated that AKI or sub-AKI (patient not meeting the AKI definition but with an increased kidney related biomarker) could induce remote cardio-vascular injury and fibrosis, which may be involved in the poor long-term prognosis of ICU-acquired AKI. We hypothesize that strategy that prevent worsening in cardiovascular and/or renal injuries and/or in cardiovascular consequences of sub-AKI and AKI after ICU discharge improve long-term outcomes in ICU survivors. SGLT2 inhibitors are widely recognized as key drugs to protect the kidney and/or the myocardium in chronic diseases such as diabetes or heart failure. Cardio protective effect of SGLT2 inhibitors is optimal in patients with higher cardiac biomarker.
NCT07181109
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether zilebesiran versus placebo reduces the risk of cardiovascular (CV) death, nonfatal myocardial infarction (MI), nonfatal stroke, or heart failure (HF) events. This is an event-driven study that will continue until the targeted number of positively adjudicated primary endpoint clinical outcome events (COEs) have been reached.
NCT07120932
Objective: To determine the effect of Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) on pain, cardiac anxiety and sleep quality in patients undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) surgery. Materials and Methods: The study will be conducted between 2025 and 2026 as a pretest-posttest, parallel design (1:1) randomized controlled trial. The study population will consist of patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) at the Kütahya City Hospital Cardiovascular Surgery Department. The sample size was determined to be 66 patients, with 33 patients each in the experimental and control groups. Measurement tools include a Personal Information Form, Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Cardiac Anxiety Scale, and Richard Campbell Sleep Scale. Data will be collected through one-on-one patient interviews. The researcher has successfully completed a 3.5-hour EFT training program at the Boğaziçi Education Institute. EFT will be administered to the patients by the researcher. Patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery at the Cardiovascular Surgery Clinic who volunteer to participate in the study and meet the inclusion criteria will complete the Informed Consent Form, Personal Information Form, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Cardiac Anxiety Scale, and Richard-Campbell Sleep Scale. Patients will then be assigned to the experimental or control groups by a person other than the researcher based on the randomization list. Patients in the experimental group will receive EFT in addition to standard cardiovascular surgery clinic procedures, while patients in the control group will receive standard cardiovascular surgery clinic procedures. Data analysis will be conducted using SPSS. The study will be conducted in accordance with the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki. Findings: The findings of the research will be written after the data to be obtained after the implementation of the research and data collection will be analyzed in the SPSS program. Conclusion: The results of the research will be written by determining the findings after analyzing the data to be obtained after the implementation of the research and data collection in the SPSS program.
NCT06832371
This observational, multicenter, retrospective and prospective study aims to evaluate the effect of lomitapide treatment on Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events (MACE) in patients with Homozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia (HoFH). HoFH is a rare genetic disorder characterized by extremely high levels of LDL cholesterol (LDL-C), leading to an increased risk of early cardiovascular diseases. Lomitapide is an approved medication that lowers LDL-C levels by inhibiting microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP). The study will collect data from patients who have been treated with lomitapide for at least 12 months and will compare the incidence of MACE during the first three years of treatment with the three years before treatment initiation. The study includes data collection from multiple lipid centers across Europe. The primary objective is to assess the impact of lomitapide on MACE, while secondary objectives include evaluating changes in lipid profiles, liver function tests, and lipid-lowering treatments.
NCT06888466
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether the disclosure of Polygenic Risk Scores (PRS) combined with personalized coaching on risk factors can lead to significant improvements in lifestyle behaviors among staff members at Fondazione Policlinico Universitario Agostino Gemelli IRCCS. The study includes staff members from Fondazione Policlinico Universitario Agostino Gemelli IRCCS, enrolled at the outpatient clinics of the Cardiology Department. Main Research Questions: 1. Does receiving PRS disclosure and personalized coaching lead to significant improvements in lifestyle behaviors compared to baseline measurements? 2. How do different levels of genetic predisposition to cardiovascular diseases (CVD) impact behavioral changes following intervention? This is a single arm, pre-post clinical trial. Participant will: * Undergo genetic testing to assess their Polygenic Risk Score for CVDs * receive personalized, in-person consultation with a medical cardiologis, together with and individualized recommendations for CVD prevention based on PRS results and traditional risk factors.
NCT07424339
This randomized controlled study was conducted to determine the effect of music played during the angiography procedure on patients' anxiety levels and vital signs. Patients scheduled for angiography were randomly assigned to either a music intervention group or a control group receiving routine care. Anxiety levels were assessed using validated anxiety measurement tools, and vital signs including blood pressure, heart rate, and oxygen saturation were recorded at multiple time points before, during, and after the procedure. In the intervention group, selected music was played throughout the angiography procedure, while no music intervention was applied to the control group. This study evaluates the role of music as a non-pharmacological intervention for anxiety management during angiography.
NCT06295679
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate real-world effectiveness of treatment with Repatha® in combination with SOC, compared with SOC alone, on the risk for cardiovascular (CV) death, myocardial infarction (MI), stroke, hospitalization for unstable angina, or coronary revascularization, whichever occurs first, in participants with established atherosclerotic CV disease (ASCVD) treated with SOC, according to local clinical practice.
NCT04258813
The proposed ONE TEAM Study is an 18-month, cluster randomized controlled trial. This study will use a sequential multiple assignment randomized trial (SMART) design with a second randomization for the intervention group using a dynamic treatment regimen approach. The investigators propose to randomize 800 adults with newly-diagnosed selected cancers treated with curative intent (breast, prostate, colorectal, endometrial, non-small cell lung, and endometrial) and with \>1 selected cardiovascular disease (CVD) comorbidity (hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypercholesterolemia). Participants will be enrolled through Duke Cancer Institute and two community-based oncology practices, both settings serving socio-demographically diverse populations. The unit of randomization will be the PCP clinic; there will be \~80 PCP clinics across North Carolina involved in the study. The overarching goals of this study are to improve chronic disease management and communication among cancer survivors by engaging PCPs as active members of the cancer care team and reframing the message to cancer survivors and providers. A diversity supplement with retrospective and qualitative components has been added to abstract older adults with solid tumors who underwent cancer surgery at DUHS. Aims include (1) to estimate the prevalence of cardiovascular complications ≤90 postoperative days among older adults with solid tumors undergoing surgery, and its association with care coordination between surgical providers and PCPs ; (2) to develop a risk index for cardiovascular complications ≤90 days of surgery among older adult patients with a solid tumor; and (3) to Assess experience and perceptions of PCPs on care coordination with surgical providers of older adults with a solid tumor following cancer surgery.
NCT03514108
The present study is testing in a combined design to types of drugs in patients with chronic heart failure: 1) Hydralazine in combination with isosorbide dinitrate (BiDil) and 2) Metformin hydrochloride. The study is double blind, placebo controlled. 1. The first hypothesis is that hydralazine in combination with isosorbide dinitrate can reduce mortality and hospitalization with worsening heart failure in chronic heart failure patients with reduced LVEF. 2. The second hypothesis is that treatment with metformin in chronic heart failure patients with reduced LVEF and type 2 diabetes / diabetes risk / insulin resistance can reduce mortality and cardiovascular hospitalizations. Among secondary endpoints are reduction in new-onset diabetes in heart failure patients with insulin resistance and diabetes risk profile and patient safety.
NCT01633021
Background: \- Knowing one s family medical history is a part of staying healthy. Some health risks run in families, and knowing these risks can promote more healthy behavior. Different social and cultural factors may affect how family members share this information. Genetic risk information that is shared in one family may not be shared in the same way in another. This information may also be shared differently between spouses, siblings, or parents and children. It may even be shared with more distant relatives. Knowing the information that family members share and how they share it may help researchers improve genetic disease treatment and support plans. Family surveys of people who have genetic health risks may help provide this information. Objectives: \- To study how family members affected by genetic-related diseases share health information with each other. Eligibility: * Individuals at least 18 years of age who can read English or Spanish. * Participants affected by a genetic disease or be related or married to someone who has the disease. Design: * Participants will be screened with an initial questionnaire. They will identify their genetic disease and provide a basic health history. * Participants who have the disease will complete an online survey or participate in a personal interview. The questions will take about 45 minutes to 1 hour to answer. The survey will ask about family health history and family support. Participants will also provide referrals to a spouse or relatives who will participate in the study. * The spouse or relative will answer a similar survey. The survey will ask about health history and support for the spouse/relative with the disease. * A gift card will be given as thanks for participating in the study.
