NCT02222909
Project CONNECT ("Community-based Organizations Neighborhood Network: Enhancing Capacity Together") is a randomized controlled trial that involves 22 community-based organizations (CBOs) located in Baltimore, MD. Half of these organizations were randomly assigned to the intervention group using a constrained cluster randomization process. The remaining 11 are a part of the control intervention group. The intervention is a co-developed set of IT tools hypothesized to improve the connections among intervention CBOs, Johns Hopkins health care facilities and CBO clients.
NCT00687856
Heart failure is a progressive disorder in which the weakened heart is not able to efficiently pump blood throughout the body. When the body's cells do not receive enough blood, this can result in fatigue, shortness of breath, and difficulty carrying out daily activities. The left ventricular assist device (LVAD) is a device that is used to provide mechanical circulatory support to patients with end-stage heart failure who are awaiting heart transplants. Although LVAD support helps maintain the pumping ability of the heart and dramatically improves heart failure symptoms, the quality of life with LVAD support is far from ideal. It has been shown that LVAD support in selected patients may restore the failing heart enough to eliminate the need for heart transplant, but more information is needed to assess heart recovery and to guide weaning of LVAD support. Using data collected from patients who have undergone LVAD implantation, this study will attempt to better assess heart recovery and to generate criteria for identifying patients eligible for the removal of LVAD support.
NCT04271735
Background: Psoriasis causes chronic inflammation in the body. Researchers want to see if a kind of vitamin B3 dietary supplement can help. This might lead to more treatment options. Objective: To test if the dietary supplement nicotinamide riboside can improve immune system function in the blood and skin of people with mild to moderate psoriasis. Eligibility: People ages 18-80 with mild to moderate active psoriasis not currently treated with biological therapy Design: Participations will be screened with: * Medical and medication history * Physical exam * Measure of body mass index * Skin exam * Blood and urine tests Participants will have visit 1. They will have repeats of the screening tests. They may also have 2 skin biopsies, which are optional. These will be from both lesions and unaffected areas. The areas will be injected with a numbing medicine. A round cutting device will remove small pieces of skin from each area. Participants will take the study supplement or a placebo starting at the first visit. Neither participants nor the study team will know which they receive. Participants will take capsules twice daily for a total of 4 weeks. Participants will then have visit 2. This will include the tests performed at visit 1. Participants may by contacted by phone or email between visits to see how they are doing. If participants develop any side effects in the 7 days after they stop taking the capsules, they may have another visit.
NCT01999140
The ICD Registry™ is a nationwide quality program that helps participating hospitals measure and improve care for patients receiving implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) and cardiac resynchronization therapy devices with defibrillator (CRT-Ds). The ICD Registry captures the characteristics, treatments, and outcomes of patients receiving (ICDs). Patient-level data is submitted by participating hospitals on a quarterly basis to the American College of Cardiology Foundation's (ACCF) National Cardiovascular Data Registry (NCDR) which then produces an Outcomes Report of the hospital's data, with comparison to both a volume peer group (number of ICD patients submitted annually) and the entire ICD registry data set.
NCT04125732
The primary purpose of this trial is to determine the safety of XC001 (AdVEGFXC1) in patients who suffer from angina caused by coronary artery disease and have no other treatment options. Subjects in this study will receive one of four intramyocardial doses of XC001 that expresses human vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) which induces therapeutic angiogenesis (revascularization).
NCT05312177
The study objective is to compare neurodevelopmental (ND) and behavioral outcomes between children with Down syndrome (DS) who had complete atrioventricular septal defect (CAVSD) repair and children from the same clinical sites with DS without major congenital heart disease (CHD) requiring previous or planned CHD surgery.
NCT03108456
This trial will evaluate Orbital Atherectomy compared to conventional balloon angioplasty technique for the treatment of severely calcified lesions prior to implantation of drug-eluting stents (DES).
NCT05161897
The overall aim of this feasibility study is to conduct a randomized, controlled intervention providing adults with prediabetes either an individualized nutrition therapy (INT) intervention that contains individualized dietary goal-setting components, the goal being to improve blood glucose, reduce CVD risk factors, and therefore postpone the onset of diabetes and related cardiovascular disease, or standard-of-care generalized dietary recommendation (SOC). The hypothesis is that the INT arm will experience greater benefits in some or all of the following primary outcome variables: improvement in postprandial blood glucose, oral glucose tolerance test, fasting insulin, and calculated insulin sensitivity (HOMA) in individuals with prediabetes. Secondary outcome variables are improved markers of inflammation, antioxidant status, blood lipids, blood pressure, and endothelial function.
NCT03875651
EVOLVE 4.5/5.0 is a prospective, single-arm, multi-center observational (standard of care) trial intended to confirm the safety and effectiveness of the SYNERGY 4.50 mm and 5.00 mm Coronary Stent System for the treatment of patients with coronary artery disease in large vessels (≤ 28 mm in length, by visual estimate, in native coronary arteries \> 4.00 mm to ≤5.00 mm in diameter, by visual estimate). This Post Approval study is a cohort associated with the SYNERGY MEGATRON Post Approval Study, which is registered under ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT04807439.

NCT01186198
This is a prospective, single-arm, open-label, multi-center, observational study to assess the acute safety and efficacy of MINI TREK RX 1.20 mm for enlarging coronary luminal diameter during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedures in subjects with ischemic heart disease due to stenotic lesions.
NCT06018194
The goal of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of a novel plaque-based coronary CT angiography (CCTA) fractional flow reserve (FFRct) software device for the estimation of invasive fractional flow reserve (FFR). Researchers will compare the Elucid plaque-based FFRct analysis to invasively measured FFR in patients who have previously undergone CCTA and invasively assessed FFR.

This study is designed as a repository study to collect resting cardiac phase signals and subject meta data from eligible subjects using the Phase Signal Recorder (PSR) prior to Right Heart Cath (RHC). The repository data will be used for the purposes of research, development, optimization and testing of machine-learning algorithms developed by CorVista Health (formerly Analytics 4 Life).
NCT04814134
STOP-ADHF Study: An evaluation of the safety and performance of the Cardionomic Cardiac Pulmonary Nerve Stimulation (CPNS) system in patients with acute decompensated heart failure.
NCT01618123
It is recognized that endothelial dysfunction is a major factor contributing to the atherogenic process. Abnormal function of the endothelium is detectable prior to obvious intimal lesions in patients with risk factors for atherosclerosis. Endothelial dysfunction is a systemic disorder and a key variable in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and its complications. Measurement of peripheral vasodilator response with fingertip peripheral arterial tonometry (PAT) technology (EndoPAT; Itamar Medical, Caesarea, Israel) is emerging as a useful method for assessing vascular function. EndoPAT may be a potential valid test increasing the accuracy, sensitivity and specificity for detection of subjects to chest pain unit (CPU) with chest pain but no obvious coronary artery disease (CAD). This is a relatively fast non-invasive bedside test, relatively low-cost and has no side effects. Therefore, the primary objective of the study is to test the hypothesis that abnormal endothelial function as assessed by EndoPAT testing will increase the prediction of the short (in-hospital) and long-term (1-year) outcome of patients presenting to the chest pain unit.
