NCT00997503
The TAXUS Libertē Post-Approval Study is an FDA-mandated prospective, multi-center study designed to collect real-world safety and clinical outcomes in approximately 4,200 patients receiving one or more TAXUS Liberté Paclitaxel-Eluting Stents and prasugrel as part of a dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) drug regimen. This study will also contribute patient data to an FDA-requested and industry-sponsored research study that will evaluate the optimal duration of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT Study).
NCT01343667
The objective of this study is to provide an ongoing evaluation of clinical outcomes associated with the GORE Flow Reversal System and the GORE Embolic Filter when used for embolic protection during carotid artery stenting.
NCT01128166
The goal of the MultiSENSE study is to collect chronic information from multiple sensors in an implanted device for evaluation in heart failure patients.
NCT01858480
To evaluate the safety and to determine the efficacy of D-ribose for the treatment of congestive heart failure (CHF) in subjects who have been stabilized following hospitalization with acute decompensation.
NCT00706849
The purpose of this study is to determine whether mipomersen safely and effectively lowers low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in patients with Heterozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia (HeFH) and coronary artery disease (CAD) who are already on a stable dose of other lipid-lowering agents (including maximally tolerated statin therapy).
NCT00120289
The purpose of this study is to determine whether raising "good cholesterol" with a drug based on the vitamin niacin, while lowering "bad cholesterol" with a statin drug, can prevent more heart disease than the statin alone.
NCT00887588
The study will assess the effects of 36 weeks of treatment with LCZ696 compared to valsartan on N-terminal pro-Brain Natriuretic Peptide (NT-proBNP) in patients with chronic heart failure and preserved left-ventricular ejection fraction.
NCT02131142
The purpose of this study is to collect additional safety and effectiveness data for on the Biosensors BioFreedom™ BA9 Drug Coated Coronary Stent in patients with native, de novo coronary artery disease.
NCT00399594
Identifying \& optimizing strategies to reduce the burden of heart failure is vital. Despite advances in pharmacotherapy, patients with heart failure are at high risk for death \& hospitalization. Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) synchronizes ventricular mechanical activity, improves cardiac output \& reduces HF symptoms. However, \~50% of patients do not clearly respond to CRT. Sub-optimal placement of the LV pacing lead appears to be an important reason for non-response. This study will assess whether targeted LV lead placement will result in an increased probability of CRT response at 52 weeks vs. usual (lateral wall) lead placement.
NCT01478061
The Study plan is a post-market prospective, multi-center, open-label registry. The vein graft failure rates for the currently commercialized C-Port devices will be compared to an a priori rate taken from the peer-reviewed literature.
NCT00770146
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of dosing with mipomersen for 26 weeks in patients with high cholesterol who are on a maximally tolerated dose of statin and who have a diagnosis that puts them at least at high risk of coronary heart disease (CHD).
NCT01954160
Congestive heart failure is a common disorder in which the heart cannot pump enough blood to meet the needs of the rest of the body. Poor sodium handling by the kidneys is a damaging effect of heart failure, and it leads to symptoms of congestion such as shortness of breath or ankle swelling. Recent studies suggest that reducing the nerve activity to a kidney could reduce sodium retention and blood pressure. An improvement in the way the kidneys handle sodium may reduce disease progression and decrease symptoms for heart failure patients.
NCT01065077
A placebo controlled, double-blind and randomized study to assess different doses of a new drug (BAY58-2667) given intravenously, to evaluate if it is safe and can help to improve the well-being of patients with acute decompensated heart failure.
NCT00032370
Although a number of sophisticated diagnostic tests have been shown to be helpful in identifying patients at high risk for perioperative cardiac complications, no study has addressed the most important question: Should prophylactic coronary revascularization be performed prior to elective vascular surgery? This study is designed to answer this question.
NCT01922089
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of initiating LCZ696 in heart failure patients with reduced ejection fraction (HF-rEF) using conservative (reaching target dose over 6 weeks) and condensed (reaching target dose over 3 weeks) up-titration regimens.
NCT01832493
The Sensor Optimization of Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) Response (SOCR) Study is a multicenter, prospective, non-randomized acute feasibility study that is being conducted to determine if subcutaneous heart sounds and/or intracardiac impedance can acutely identify the optimal atrioventricular (AV) pacing intervals and optimal left ventricular (LV) electrodes in patients indicated for cardiac resynchronization therapy.
NCT01067859
NCT00601679
This will be a multicentre Phase IV study in which patients with chronic HF who are managed and followed by HF/heart functions clinics will be followed over a period of two years. Clinic patients who are recruited into the study will have obligatory blood sampling for the surveillance measurement of NT-proBNP level every three months for a minimum of one year (4 samples). One-half of the subjects in each clinic will be randomized to have these NT-proBNP values made known to the attending clinic physicians and nurses, the other half will have these values blinded. During the study, attending clinic physicians can order open-label NT-proBNP or BNP assays, if available in their institution, to assist the management of their patients if they feel it is clinically needed.
NCT02732106
Human adipose tissue is now recognized as an acceptable, highly abundant source of adipose-derived regenerative cells (ADRCs). ADRCs are a heterogeneous or mixed population of cells found in adipose tissue including adult stem cells, leukocytes, connective tissue and vessel-associated cells. Autologous adult regenerative cells are thought to promote healing of scarred or injured tissue. While the investigators are learning more about the exact mechanisms every day, it is believed that this heterogeneous population of cells influences the local environment via cell-to-cell signaling, immune modulation, and differentiation into other cell types. The use of ADRCs in the treatment of many different medical conditions (including cardiovascular disease, soft tissue defects, wound healing, and many more) is being evaluated in numerous clinical and preclinical studies around the world. While there is a considerable amount of information regarding the cellular composition of ADRCs isolated from healthy donors, basically there is no much data regarding the ADRC composition from cardiac patients. In this study, adipose tissue or cells from chronic heart ischemia patients, that would otherwise be thrown away in waste, will be provided to researchers who will study these cells with the objective to characterize ADRCs derived from patients with a heart disease and to compare if a heart disease state does impact ADRC cell composition.
NCT00263042
The primary objective is to show whether rimonabant reduces the risk of a heart attack (MI), stroke, or death from an MI or stroke in patients with abdominal obesity with other cardiovascular (CV) risk factors. The secondary objective is to show whether rimonabant reduces the risk of MI, stroke, CV death, or CV hospitalization in these patients.
