A Multi-Center Registry Study Evaluating Participants Who Receive EluPro Antibiotic-Eluting BioEnvelope During CIED Implantation
NCT07020910
The Bad Berka Heart Rhythm Registry (2B2R) is a prospective, single-center observational cohort designed to systematically collect and analyze data of patients undergoing cardiac arrhythmia therapy as well as implantation of cardiac electronic devices (CIEDs) at the Heart Center Bad Berka. The register aims to evaluate procedural safety, acute and long-term efficacy, and clinical outcomes across a broad spectrum of arrhythmias and interventional strategies, including novel technologies such as pulsed field ablation (PFA) and conduction system pacing. The registry is intended to generate real-world evidence to support clinical decision-making, identify predictors of outcomes, and contribute to quality assurance and innovation in the field of cardiac electrophysiology.
NCT06898307
The goal of this observational study is to enroll all patients evaluated at the specialized Cardiogenetic Center within the Cardiology Department of the University of Ferrara, Italy. The primary aim of the registry is to collect comprehensive clinical, genetic, and electrophysiological data from individuals with suspected or confirmed arrhythmogenic conditions. By systematically documenting patient demographics, family history, clinical presentations, diagnostic findings, and treatment outcomes, the registry seeks to enhance our understanding of the genetic basis and clinical implications of genetically driven arrhythmias and systemic syndromes. This registry will facilitate long-term follow-up of enrolled patients to assess the natural history of arrhythmogenic disorders and the effectiveness of various therapeutic interventions. Additionally, it aims to identify potential risk factors associated with adverse outcomes, such as sudden cardiac death or major arrhythmic events.
NCT04361006
A randomized pilot study to evaluate safety and efficacy endpoints for treatment of para-hisian accessory pathways according to two different strategies of lesion formation. These patients will be divided into 2 groups with different strategies of treatment: group 1 treated with radiofrequency (RF) ablation, group 2 with cryotherapy (CRYO). The primary outcome will be the recurrence rate of accessory pathway conduction after one year of follow-up. Secondary endpoints will be immediate success and rate of permanent atrioventricular (AV) block.
NCT02148991
Arterial hypertension causes adverse effects on the entire cardiovascular system, with effects centrally such as diastolic dysfunction and structural changes of the left ventricle and, peripherally such as endothelial dysfunction and increased thickness of the vessels. Co-existing diseases, such as diabetes mellitus, renal dysfunction, sleep apnea, etc. further aggravate the prognosis of these patients. In addition the rate of patients aged \> 65 years suffering from un-diagnosed or diagnosed arterial hypertension was 78% for women and 64% for male patients. This population consists from elderly or very elderly patients (over 65 and 80 years respectively) who exhibit more comorbidities and probably less compliance with antihypertensive therapy. Finally, at every age the disease and its effects can affect the quality of life of patients. The main purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy of antihypertensive therapy (irbesartan alone or in combination with amplodipine and carvedilol) on the cardiovascular system (diastolic left ventricular function, the function of the endothelium (FMD) and the thickness of the common carotid artery). The secondary objective of the study is to monitor the quality of life (Quality of Life - QoL) of patients. Additionally the investigators will seek the correlation of results with co-morbidities, compliance, and patient age.
NCT01785498
Healthy Lifestyles for Children with Complex Heart Problems is a planning and resource development project. The goal of the project is to develop an implementation plan that would enable children with complex heart problems to lead healthy, active lives within their own community. The primary goal of the project is to promote physical activity, because the physical and mental health benefits of activity are very important for these children. Children with complex heart problems have a higher risk for obesity, diabetes, acquired heart disease and mental health problems than their healthy peers. The physical health benefits of physical activity are well known, but physical activity is also key for children's mental health. Physical activity enables children to socialize with peers and create bonds and friendships. Physical activity participation also directly elevates mood through the release of brain chemicals. Children with complex heart problems are also known to experience fear and anxiety related to physical activity. This project will also develop strategies to promote healthy eating and the prevention of physical activity-related injuries to these children and their families. Children with complex heart problems are at higher risk of overweight and obesity and face unique injury risks related to pacemakers or their medications. Extensive consultations with families and caregivers have identified needed supports for physical activity lifestyles, mental health, healthy eating and injury prevention for these children. The goal of the interviews was to understand the positive and negative influences on physical activity and healthy lifestyles for these children. Analyses of the interview content was used to develop a detailed, step-by-step implementation plan to provide the supports necessary for children with complex heart problems to lead active, healthy lives in their own community, with their family and friends. The implementation plan specifies changes to family education and counselling resources, clinical care routines, and communication among professionals and families. The clinical trial will evaluate the impact of implementing the family supports and changes to practice previously developed. Surveys will be completed by families attending the cardiac clinic before and after the changes to practice and additional resources are made available. Interviews will be utilized to gather additional feedback from professionals and families that receive counselling utilizing the supplementary materials.

The main objective of the European Pediatric Catheter Ablation Registry is to collect data on ablation procedures in the European pediatric population in order to improve the management of this subset of patients.
