NCT06535568
This international, multicenter, open-label, randomized clinical trial evaluates the safety and efficacy of single antiplatelet therapy (SAPT) compared to dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) in elderly or high bleeding risk patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with the latest generation drug-coated balloon (DCB). The study includes patients with stable or unstable coronary syndromes and aims to assess rates of ischemic and bleeding adverse events.
NCT07357675
EA-230 is a new therapy that may help people recover faster and have fewer problems after bypass surgery. In an earlier clinical trial, participants who received EA-230 during Coronary Artery Bypass surgery stayed in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and the hospital for a shorter time and had fewer serious complications, compared to those who received a placebo (an inactive therapy). The use of EA-230 was safe and well tolerated. This trial will test EA-230 in more participants to see if it really works and is safe to use in the future. This is a Phase III trial. It will take place in multiple locations and will follow a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical design, meaning neither doctors nor participants will know whether they receive EA-230 or placebo during the trial. Assignment to EA-230 or placebo occurs by chance, like throwing dice. The total duration of the trial, including medical check-ups, will be approximately 71 days. There is a total of 10 visits, including a screening-, a pre-operative-, and 2 remote visits. 7 of these visits are during your stay at the hospital.
NCT05755711
Post-market, prospective, multi-center, single-arm observational study to generate real-world clinical evidence associated with coronary IVL in a population of female subjects with calcified coronary artery disease.
NCT02714881
The objective of this study was to examine the relationship between inflammation, lipids, and cardiovascular risk in rheumatoid arthritis. The central hypothesis is that reducing inflammation will reduce cardiovascular risk as measured by coronary flow reserve. Additionally, we hypothesized that lipid levels may have a weaker correlation with CV risk compared to the general population.
NCT07351656
A study to evaluate feasibility, diagnostic yield, accuracy, and actionable thresholds of POC, immediate-feedback AI-ECG + AI FoCUS screening for cardiac disease in well described community populations.
NCT07351825
Ischemic heart disease (IHD) remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Accurate risk stratification is essential for guiding clinical management and improving long-term outcomes in patients with ischemic myocardial injury. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging provides comprehensive assessment of myocardial structure, function, and tissue characteristics, enabling detailed evaluation of ischemic injury and its consequences. This multicenter, retrospective observational study aims to investigate the prognostic value of multiparametric CMR-derived imaging markers in patients with ischemic heart disease who underwent clinically indicated CMR examinations. Imaging parameters of interest include late gadolinium enhancement (LGE), infarct size, microvascular obstruction (MVO), left ventricular and left atrial strain, and native T1 and T2 mapping values. Long-term clinical outcomes will be obtained from existing medical records. The primary outcome is major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE), and secondary outcome is cardiovascular death. This study seeks to clarify the role of CMR in long-term risk stratification of patients with ischemic heart disease.
NCT07350941
The aim of the study is to evaluate whether a tailored cardiac rehabilitation program, initiated during hospitalization and continued after discharge, can improve functional capacity, mobility, and quality of life in patients over 65 years old with heart failure.
NCT07351435
The project's main goal is to collect baseline clinical and procedural data as well as to assess clinical outcomes for all patients undergoing VV, VA or VAV ECMO implantation in the French West Indies and Guiana. All patients undergoing ECMO implantation will be prospectively registered.
NCT07352891
DigiCare-HFrEF is an investigator-initiated, multicentre, randomised, open-label, endpoint-blinded, superiority trial designed to evaluate whether a structured digital remote-management platform can improve clinical outcomes in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) after hospital discharge. Eligible adults with LVEF ≤40% within past 3 months, NYHA class II-IV, and elevated natriuretic peptides (NT-proBNP \>2500 pg/mL or BNP \>600 pg/mL) will be randomly assigned (1:1) to digital remote management or to usual care. In the intervention arm, patients will report symptoms and key physiologic measures (e.g., blood pressure and body weight) via the platform; an algorithm will perform risk stratification and generate guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) optimisation suggestions and decongestion prompts, as well as a comprehensive management for core health metrics, which are reviewed and confirmed by clinicians before implementation. The primary endpoint is the composite of cardiovascular death or first heart-failure event (hospitalisation or urgent visit for heart failure) at 12 months.
NCT06205810
The COMPLETE study is a single-centre, investigator-initiated study of patients with an indication for invasive coronary angiography with CCTA performed during the diagnostic evaluation. After identifying the presence of a coronary stenosis, defined as an epicardial lesion \>50% stenosis on CCTA, patients eligible for the study will be invited to participate. The main aim of this trial is to assess the accuracy of coronary CT angiography to quantify total atheroma volume with intravascular ultrasound as reference. Patients will be divided into 2 sub-groups: Cohort 1: Patients with stable coronary artery disease or stabilized acute coronary syndromes with a clinical indication for invasive coronary angiography. Cohort 2: Patients previously revascularized with a metallic stent with a clinical indication for invasive coronary angiography. In both cohorts, patients should have undergone coronary CT angiography as part of the standard of care. Patients included in the study will be managed according to the standard of care for the assessment of coronary artery disease. Clinical follow-up will be collected until 3 years follow-up.
NCT00733590
The overall hypothesis of this study is that subtle interactions between structural (substrate) and functional (trigger) abnormalities of the heart, some of which are genetically-determined, can be used to identify patients at high risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD). Such information may be used to better define patients most likely to benefit from replacement of an internal defibrillator (ICD). The prospective, observational study to enroll, categorize and follow patients who receive an ICD pulse generator replacement for primary prevention of SCD (PROSe-ICD) was established to : 1. to gain a better understanding of the biological mechanisms that predispose to SCD 2. to develop readily determined clinical, electrocardiographic, genetic and blood protein markers identify patients with an increased risk of dying suddenly
NCT06518694
A significant proportion of patients initially diagnosed with heart failure and a reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF\<40%, HFrEF) presents a substantial improvement in response to evidence-based medical and device therapies. Some of these patients (estimated from 20 to 30%) even display a complete normalization of LVEF (i.e., \>50%) and are now recognized as a specific sub-group of patients named Heart Failure with recovered Ejection Fraction (HFrecovEF). Different studies have shown that reverse remodeling with recovery of cardiac function and stabilization of HF symptoms are associated with improved clinical outcomes over the long-term. Whether these patients present a stable remission of HF and could benefit a therapeutic de-escalation is however unclear. Until novel data are provided, medical therapies are thus continued indefinitely in these stable patients with HFrecovEF. Current guidelines for the management of patients with heart failure and a reduced left ventricular ejection fraction recommends a comprehensive therapy, including 5 different therapeutic classes (RAAS blockers (with a preference for ARNi) + Beta-Blockers + SGLT2i + Mineraloreceptors Antagonists + or - Diuretics ). None of these therapies (with the recent exception of one SGLT2i, i.e. Dapagliflozin) have been tested in patients with HFrecovEF. In addition, it is unclear whether the benefit of older therapies (notably beta-blockers) remains in patients receiving modern comprehensive therapy as newer drugs were tested as add-on therapies. This polypharmacy is lowering adherence and is creating a challenge for physicians and patients. Betablockers are notably associated with frequent side effects, a limited tolerance and a significant reduction of quality of life. Their efficacy on outcomes is not established in patients with normal LVEF. Pilot studies have suggested that Beta-blockers interruption in patients with HF and normal EF was associated with functional improvement.
NCT07347197
The purpose of this clinical study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of endocardial delivery of HS-001 CS into severe heart failure patients with reduced ejection fraction for 26 weeks after transplantation.
NCT06811324
Obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) represent major public health concerns in the aging community. Tirzepatide, a novel dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist recently approved for the treatment of T2DM and obesity has been shown to be effective at reducing weight, improving markers of T2DM control, and improving cardiovascular health. Utilization of tirzepatide among older adults has been on the rise since FDA approval was issued, however the effects of tirzepatide use on functional outcomes in older adults with obesity are not well established. Recent studies show that weight loss caused by tirzepatide may be driven by substantial loss of lean muscle mass, which may contribute to weakness and frailty, particularly among older adults. The proposed pilot study aims to evaluate how treatment with tirzepatide for 6 months affects muscle mass and function among older adults, and if changes in muscle mass are linked to changes in functional status over the same time period.
NCT07346664
Patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) require long-term medication and lifestyle modification following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). However, they often face challenges such as poor medication adherence and inadequate self-management. This study aims to evaluate the effects of the transitional care model (TCM) on CHD patients after PCI, regarding medication adherence, self-efficacy, and lipid levels.
NCT06019169
Heart failure (HF) is a chronic disease that has a strong impact on quality of life and is often accompanied by anxiety and depression symptoms that can contribute to poor treatment compliance. The overall management of heart failure is currently part of the recommendations and, alongside drug therapy and electrical devices that can be proposed, lifestyle changes (diet, physical activity) can help improve well-being. and perhaps patient prognosis. Yoga is an ancient practice, known to improve the emotional and physical well-being of individuals. There is no formal medical contraindication to this practice, which can be perfectly adapted to the patient's condition. However, very few patients with heart failure practice yoga. A few randomized trials with small numbers as well as the combined analysis of several studies have shown the benefit of yoga in heart failure. The main objective of the research is to demonstrate the improvement in the quality of life induced by the regular practice of yoga in the management of stabilized chronic heart failure patients. Secondly, we will evaluate the effectiveness of regular yoga practice on improving the clinical condition of chronic heart failure patients.
NCT06029777
CAD is a leading cause of mortality in Europe. cCTA is recommended to rule out obstructive CAD, but, in most patients, it shows non-obstructive CAD. The management of these patients is unclear due to lack of reproducible quantitative measurement, beyond stenosis severity, capable to assess the risk of disease progression towards developing MACEs. To improve identification and phenotypization of patients at high risk of disease progression, the investigators propose the application of artificial intelligence algorithms to cCTA images to automatically extract periluminal radiomics features to characterize the atherosclerotic process. By leveraging machine-learning empowered radiomics the investigators aim to improve patients' risk stratification in a robust, quantitative and reproducible fashion. By developing a novel quantitative AI based cCTA measure, the investigators expect to provide a risk score capable to identify patients who can benefit of a more aggressive medical treatment and management, thus improving outcome
NCT07345533
Background: Chronic heart failure represents a major public health challenge, affecting approximately 64 million people worldwide and generating high costs in terms of mortality, frequent hospitalizations, and medical expenses. In France, this disease is expected to cause nearly 70,000 deaths and 181,000 hospital admissions in 2022. Current management, based on periodic consultations, fails to effectively prevent acute exacerbations, highlighting the importance of technological solutions such as remote monitoring. Objective: This study aims to demonstrate the value of regular monitoring of electrophysiological and mechanical cardiac signals and parameters in patients with chronic heart failure. Its goal is to build a database of signals from an external measuring device to identify parameters that evolve in relation to biological and/or hemodynamic changes and/or the patient's clinical status. The results of this study will enable the further development of an automated monitoring solution for heart failure patients to enable early detection and management of decompensation. Materials and Methods: A total of 70 patients diagnosed with chronic heart failure will be included, including 30 patients hospitalized for heart failure decompensation and 40 patients hospitalized for hemodynamic assessment. Electrophysiological and cardiac mechanical data will be collected using a skin-based measuring device. These data will then be correlated with biological and/or hemodynamic changes and/or the patient's clinical status. They will contribute to the training of an algorithm to detect the risk of decompensation. Hypothesis Tested: The study will test the hypothesis that regular, automated remote monitoring of the data collected during the study can identify the risk of decompensation. Ultimately, this approach could improve the management of heart failure by maintaining a state of balance, while reducing the mental burden on patients.
NCT07107971
The goal of this clinical trial is to find out whether treating vulnerable plaques in the coronary arteries with a drug-coated balloon can make them less dangerous than using standard medication alone. The study includes adults with acute coronary syndrome (a type of heart problem caused by reduced blood flow in the coronary arteries). The main questions the study aims to answer are: * Does the drug-coated balloon reduce the amount of fat inside the plaque more than medication alone? * Is this treatment safe for patients? Participants will: * Undergo imaging of their coronary arteries during their planned heart procedure (PCI) * Be randomly assigned to receive either a drug-coated balloon treatment or no extra treatment * Undergo a heart scan (CT scan of the coronary arteries) within 2 weeks and again around 9 months after the procedure. * Undergo a second heart catherization 9 months later to examine changes in the plaque.
NCT05064709
