NCT03705234
ORION-4 is a research study coordinated by the University of Oxford and co-sponsored by The University of Oxford and Novartis (Protocol: CTSU\_MDCO-PCS-17-01 (CKJX839B12301)). The study aims to find out if a new cholesterol-lowering injection (inclisiran) safely lowers the risk of heart attacks and strokes in people who have already had one of these conditions, or who have had an operation or procedure to treat blocked arteries.
NCT03013751

NCT04022161
This study is an ancillary (add-on) study to the clinical trial entitled "Effect of Nitric Oxide in Cardiac Surgery Patients With Endothelial Dysfunction", which has Clinical Trials.gov identifier NCT02836899. NCT02836899 trial randomizes cardiac surgical patients to receive either Nitric Oxide (NO) or a placebo during and after cardiac surgery. This ancillary study aims to assess the effects of Nitric Oxide on plasma reduction-oxidation reactions of patients undergoing cardiac surgery requiring prolonged cardiopulmonary bypass.
NCT05627440
Severe skeletal wasting and catabolic weight loss are highly common among patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). This prospective randomized controlled trial will compare changes in the muscle mass in the arms and the legs (appendicular lean mass) in patients with HFrEF randomized between 3 groups of no, low- or high-dose protein supplementation. The dietary protein supplementation will be Ensure(R) products manufactured by Abbott Nutrition. The Investigators hypothesize that skeletal muscle wasting in HFrEF is promoted by neurohumoral activation of catabolic metabolism (such as GDF-15 and ActRII pathways) and can be at least partially reversed by increased dietary protein intake. It is anticipated that this study will determine whether dietary protein supplementation helps to prevent muscle wasting and will advance understanding of the GDF-15 and ActRII muscle wasting pathways.
NCT04271540
Psoriasis, a common chronic inflammatory skin disease affecting approximately 2% of the population, is associated with increased cardiovascular (CV) risk. Despite the implication of inflammation in this excess risk, it remains unclear whether reducing inflammation reduces the risk of cardiac events. This study proposes to test whether Tildrakizumab, an FDA approved therapy for psoriasis that blocks IL-23 and the Th17 pathway of inflammation, improves coronary vascular function and coronary flow reserve, as measured by noninvasive imaging with cardiac positron emission tomography. In so doing, improvement in coronary vasoreactivity, endothelial function, and tissue perfusion may have beneficial effects on myocardial mechanics, left ventricular deformation and function and, ultimately, symptoms and prognosis. This research may offer novel insights into the contributors of CV risk in psoriasis and provide data to support the development of strategies to prevent cardiovascular events in psoriatic disease.
NCT03970343
The OPTIMIZER Smart Post-Approval Study is a prospective, multi-center, non-randomized, single arm open label study of 620 subjects receiving an OPTIMIZER implant as standard of care. Patients to be included will have NYHA functional class III symptoms and a left ventricular ejection fraction of 25-45%
NCT02632656
The primary objective is to measure the association between extracellular RNA (ex-RNA) levels in plasma in patients receiving aggressive outpatient therapy for CHF with (1) cardiac remodeling and (2) cardiovascular events. The investigators will follow patients during standard medical therapy for CHF to assess changes in ex-RNA levels in the plasma, and how these are associated with cardiac remodeling (by cardiac imaging) and outcomes.
NCT06408961
The goal of this observational study is to research the impact of molecular signals from the heart, liver and fat tissue on cardiovascular disease risk, and the presentation of Type II Diabetes and diseases that affect the heart, blood vessels and metabolism (Cardiometabolic Disease). Specifically, the focus is on the content and function of Extracellular Vesicles (EVs), small sacs released from a cell's surface that contain important molecular cargo. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. What molecular cargo do adipose-tissue EVs carry? 2. How do these cargo impact cardiac and hepatic function? 3. Are changes in EV content related to cardiac function and adiposity with weight loss? Tissue samples from fat tissue and blood samples will be collected from patients receiving bariatric weight loss surgery.
NCT03142152
The objective of this prospective, randomized, blinded clinical trial is to assess the safety and efficacy of the Carillon Mitral Contour System in treating heart failure with functional regurgitation (FMR).
NCT01169259
The VITamin D and OmegA-3 TriaL (VITAL) is a randomized clinical trial in 25,871 U.S. men and women investigating whether taking daily dietary supplements of vitamin D3 (2000 IU) or omega-3 fatty acids (Omacor® fish oil, 1 gram) reduces the risk of developing cancer, heart disease, and stroke in people who do not have a prior history of these illnesses. The 5-year intervention phase (study pill-taking, median 5.3 years) has ended; post-intervention observational follow-up of study participants is ongoing.
NCT07203677
Investigators are building an empirical evidence base for real world data through large-scale emulation of randomized controlled trials. The investigators' goal is to understand for what types of clinical questions real world data analyses can be conducted with confidence and how to implement such studies.
NCT06374498
Participants undergoing coronary angiography for stable or acute coronary disease presentations and eligible for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) will be imaged with OCT-NIRAF at baseline and with CCTA 12 months apart to demonstrate that: 1. NIRAF coronary artery signal level (patient, artery, lesion basis) is correlated with the severity of coronary artery disease. 2. NIRAF coronary artery signal level is a predictor of plaque progression on a per participant, per artery, or per lesion basis.
NCT04100148
The SyncAV Post-Market Trial is a prospective, randomized, multi-center trial performed to determine if cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) devices programmed with SyncAV ON improve long-term CRT response compared to devices programmed with conventional CRT through evaluation of changes in left ventricular (LV) reverse remodeling.
NCT06898515
The objective of this study is to prospectively compare decongestive therapy administered by the Reprieve System to Optimal Diuretic Therapy (ODT) in the treatment of patients diagnosed with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF). The main objective is to determine if the Reprieve System can more efficiently decongest ADHF patients in comparison to Control Therapy.
NCT04916470
This study will look at how participants' daily life is affected by their heart failure. The study will also look at the change in participants' body weight. This study will compare the effect of semaglutide (a new medicine) compared to "dummy" medicine on body weight and heart failure symptoms. Participants will either get semaglutide or "dummy" medicine, which treatment participants get is decided by chance. Participants will need to take 1 injection once a week. The study medicine is injected with a thin needle in a skin fold in the stomach area, thigh or upper arm. During the study participants will have talks with the study staff about healthy lifestyle and physical activity. The study will last for about 59 weeks, that is a little more than 1 year. Participants will have 12 clinic visits with the study doctor. * At 6 of the visits participants will have blood samples taken. * At 5 of the visits participants will be asked to fill in a questionnaire * At 4 of the visits participants will have to do a 6-minute walking test * At 3 of the visits participants will have a test to check the heart. * participants will have their eyes checked before or at the start of the study and at the end of the study Women cannot take part if pregnant, breast-feeding or plan to become pregnant during the study period.
