NCT00271154
Heart failure is a progressive disease that decreases the pumping action of the heart. This may cause a backup of fluid in the heart and may result in heart beat changes. When there are changes in the heart beat sometimes an implantable heart device is used to control the rate and rhythm of the heart beat. The purpose of the REVERSE clinical trial is to determine whether pacing in both the left and right ventricles using Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) can help slow the progression of heart failure in people who have mild or previous symptoms and poor heart pumping function. This kind of therapy has previously been shown to reduce symptoms and improve exercise capacity in people with more advanced forms of heart failure.
NCT01481012
The purpose of this study is to obtain data or information on how blood clotting factors are activated during open heart surgery. In particular, the investigators are interested in how blood clotting factors are activated by the heart-lung bypass machine and by left ventricular assist devices (LVAD). Patients on these two machines have an increased risk of bleeding and blood clot formation. This is because both machines stimulate the intrinsic coagulation pathway, one of the chemical pathways that cause blood to clot. The process of surgery itself also stimulates the "extrinsic coagulation pathway," the other chemical pathway that causes blood to clot. Stimulating these coagulation pathways can use up the body's clotting factors. As a result, patients may be at risk for both bleeding and blood clot formation. The investigators would like to study how the blood factors are activated during and after surgery, to help develop treatments to prevent bleeding and clot formation.
NCT01471795
Infections often occur after ventricular assist devices (VADs) are placed. These infections can be very serious. The goal of this study is to understand why these infections occur. Bacteria (germs) normally live on our skin and in our noses. After surgery, they can infect the VAD. The investigators will collect cultures of your skin and nose before and after surgery. The investigators will compare these bacteria to bacteria that cause infections. Their genes will be compared to see which ones help the bacteria cause infection.
NCT00351559
This study is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a leukocyte gene expression profiling method in the monitoring of asymptomatic heart transplant patients for acute rejection.
NCT00990327
The purpose of this study is to see whether apadenoson is as effective as adenosine when used as a pharmacological stress agent in myocardial SPECT-Imaging to detect defects in the supply of blood to the heart muscle (myocardial perfusion defects). The study will also look at whether apadenoson is better tolerated than adenosine when used in SPECT-MPI.
NCT00180479
This study is divided into 5 arms: 1. Randomized Clinical Trial (RCT): Prospective, randomized, active-controlled, single blind, parallel two-arm multi-center clinical trial in the United States (US) comparing XIENCE V® Everolimus Eluting Coronary Stent System (CSS) (2.5, 3.0, 3.5 mm diameter stents) to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved commercially available active control TAXUS® EXPRESS2™ Paclitaxel Eluting Coronary Stent (TAXUS® EXPRESS2™ PECS) System 2. US 2.25 mm non-randomized arm using 2.25 mm diameter XIENCE V® Everolimus Eluting CSS 3. US 4.0 mm non-randomized arm using 4.0 mm diameter XIENCE V® Everolimus Eluting CSS 4. US 38 mm non-randomized arm using 38 mm in length XIENCE V® Everolimus Eluting CSS 5. Japanese non-randomized arm using XIENCE V® Everolimus Eluting CSS (2.5, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0 mm diameter stents) in Japan The TAXUS® EXPRESS2™ Paclitaxel Eluting Coronary Stent System is Manufactured by Boston Scientific.
NCT00673075
This study is being done to see if the blood pressure lowering effect of an approved drug nebivolol is comparable to that of another approved drug carvedilol for the treatment of hypertension in patients who have coronary artery disease.
NCT00371423
TAXUS ATLAS Direct Stent is a global, multi-center, single-arm, noninferiority trial comparing results from patients in whom the TAXUS Liberté stent was directly implanted (direct stenting) versus results from patients in whom implantation with the TAXUS Liberté stent was preceded by balloon angioplasty (pre-dilatation). The Control group consists of patients in the main TAXUS ATLAS trial, in which pre-dilatation was mandatory. The primary objective is to compare outcomes of direct stenting with balloon catheter pre-dilatation. The primary hypothesis is that late outcomes with direct stenting of the TAXUS™ Liberté Paclitaxel-Eluting Coronary Stent System will be non-inferior to conventional implantation with balloon catheter pre-dilatation
NCT00371709
TAXUS ATLAS is a global, multi-center, single-arm, non-inferiority trial comparing results from patients treated with the TAXUS Liberté stent to an historical TAXUS Express control. The control group is a case-matched, blended population of TAXUS Express patients from the TAXUS IV and TAXUS V de novo clinical trials. The objective of the study is to evaluate clinical outcomes of TAXUS Liberté-SR stent in de novo lesions and to assess the non-inferiority of TAXUS Liberté versus TAXUS Express. The TAXUS Liberté-SR stent is hypothesized to have comparable safety and efficacy to the TAXUS Express stent.
NCT00455546
The study will be conducted at up to 80 centers worldwide and will be a double-blind randomized parallel group placebo controlled study among subjects with stable coronary artery disease (CAD). Subjects will be randomized to receive either placebo tablets or one of 4 orally active doses of A-002. The duration of study drug therapy will be 8 weeks.
NCT00957034
Heart failure (HF) is a complex condition resulting from structural or functional heart diseases that impair the ability of the heart to fill with or pump out blood. The main manifestations of HF are shortness of breath and tiredness which may limit the ability to exercise or perform simple daily physical activities such as walking. Heart disease leading to HF is associated with reduced muscle mass and reduced strength and low blood levels of testosterone; a hormone normally produced by the human (male and female) body. Recent studies have shown improvements of symptoms and ability to exercise in patients with heart failure receiving testosterone. This is a placebo controlled study to determine the efficacy and safety of low dose testosterone (300 and 450 microgram/day) delivered by a transdermal system (patch) in women with significant HF.
NCT00180466
PROSPECT is a multi-center prospective registry of Acute Coronary Syndromes (ACS) patients with single or double vessel coronary artery disease. Approximately 700 patients with ACS will be enrolled into the study at sites in the United States and European Union.
NCT00863707
This study is intended to assess the safety and tolerance of regadenoson in subjects with renal impairment.
NCT00662116
This study is being done to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of alagebrium in subjects diagnosed with diastolic heart failure. The primary assessment for effectiveness is the assessment of exercise tolerance.
NCT00132886
This study will look at how a single dose of study medication (tolvaptan) versus an inactive sugar pill (placebo) effect pressures in the heart in patients with congestive heart failure. Higher than normal pressures can be related to symptoms of heart failure (shortness of breath, fatigue, etc.).
NCT00114972
The SYNTAX trial is designed to determine the best treatment for patients with complex coronary disease (blocked or narrowed arteries in both the right and left sides of the heart) by randomizing patients to receive either percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with polymer-based paclitaxel-eluting TAXUS stents or to coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG).
