This is a prospective, double-blind, sham-controlled, multicenter, randomized clinical trial is to study the effects of remote ischemic preconditioning on contrast-associated acute kidney injury, functional capacity, and major adverse kidney events in in patients with congestive heart failure undergoing cardiac catheterization and/or percutaneous coronary intervention.
NCT04743856
The main aim of this effort is to test a physical activity intervention, for adult clinical care patients at risk of developing cardiovascular disease. The intervention includes social-cognitive theory-based sessions, remote coaching, a body worn physical activity tracker (PAT), and is delivered online over one year. The investigators hypothesis that this intervention will be more successful at increasing physical activity (defined as objectively measured step counts and % of individuals meeting the moderate-vigorous physical activity goal) as an active control group who receives a body worn PAT and information on the CDC activity recommendations. The proposed intervention will be aligned with efforts by the US Centers for Disease Control to increase population physical activity levels and the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) to increase physical activity prescription in primary care.

NCT06387355
Peripheral artery disease, lack or blood flow to the legs, has a high prevalence in the Veteran population. In patients with severe peripheral artery disease that requires an endovascular or surgical intervention for lower leg revascularization, the long-term mortality of approximately 50% is worse that most cancers. The goal of this study is to develop a management strategy to improve cardiovascular outcomes in this high-risk peripheral artery disease population after lower extremity revascularization.
NCT03922529
Modified Application of Cardiac Rehabilitation for Older Adults (MACRO) responds to a critical underuse of cardiac rehabilitation in older adults with a coaching model that addresses issues related to aging as a means to better facilitate cardiac rehabilitation (CR). MACRO is a randomized controlled trial (RCT) in which older adults with a CVD event are randomized between a MACRO intervention (MACRO-I) versus usual care. The MACRO-I is designed to facilitate CR as a means to augment functional recovery.

The Study will enroll up to 910 randomized subjects, up to 30 subjects in a parallel angiographic substudy, and up to 20 subjects in a parallel pharmacokinetic (pK) substudy, at up to 80 sites in the US, Canada, Brazil, Japan and Europe. A minimum of 50% of the subjects will be enrolled in the US.
NCT07220304
This study evaluates the use of CaRi-Heart® analysis, an artificial-intelligence (AI) software tool that measures inflammation in the coronary arteries using images already captured during a standard Coronary CT Angiography (CCTA) exam. The goal is to determine whether the additional information provided by CaRi-Heart® changes clinical decision-making and helps improve early identification and management of coronary artery disease in community imaging centers. Patients who undergo CCTA as part of their regular care will be invited to have their scans analyzed using CaRi-Heart® at no extra cost, time, or radiation.
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.

NCT06964464
This prospective, multicenter, open-label, randomized comparative effectiveness trial, titled CARVTOP-ICD, evaluates the impact of carvedilol versus metoprolol succinate in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD). The study will enroll 2,000 participants across 100 U.S. sites and includes an 18-month feasibility phase with 100 participants from 15 sites. Eligible participants must be currently treated with metoprolol succinate and willing to switch to carvedilol, with randomization in a 1:1 ratio. Participants will be followed for up to 3 years, with regular assessments including ICD interrogations, medication adherence, healthcare utilization, and quality of life surveys. The primary endpoint is the first occurrence of any ICD therapy (appropriate or inappropriate), cardiovascular (CV) hospitalization, or CV death. Secondary endpoints include ICD shock burden, healthcare utilization, and patient-reported quality of life. The trial aims to provide high-quality comparative data to address clinical equipoise surrounding the two commonly used beta-blockers in HFrEF management.
