ZurichAges Any age - NCT07159269Recruiting
Cardiac ultrasound training for emergency department providers
This study teaches nurse practitioners and physician assistants in the emergency department how to use a special type of heart ultrasound (called cardiac point-of-care ultrasound). The goal is to help these providers quickly and accurately check the heart at the bedside.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT07149714Recruiting
Heart pump support for high-risk angioplasty
This trial tests the iVAC 2L device, a temporary heart pump placed in the main artery, to help patients who need a high-risk angioplasty (PCI) because of a very narrowed or blocked coronary artery. The goal is to prevent the heart from failing during the procedure.
MoscowAges 18 years+ - NCT07099885Recruiting
Urine test to guide water pill treatment for heart failure
This study tests a simple urine test to help doctors choose the best dose of water pills (diuretics) for people hospitalized with heart failure and leg swelling. The goal is to relieve congestion faster and more safely.
Wroclaw, DolnosląskieAges 18 years+ - NCT07094737Recruiting
Cardiac rehabilitation for heart attack and heart failure recovery
This study tracks patients with heart disease or heart failure who are in cardiac rehabilitation. The goal is to understand how well these programs work in real life and improve care for future patients.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT03180320Recruiting
Exercise program for chronic heart failure with confidence building
This trial studies whether a specific gentle exercise routine (Baduanjin, “eight-silken-movement”) plus skills to build self-confidence can help people with chronic heart failure. It’s meant for people who are stable and can do prescribed exercise testing and sessions.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT07069738Recruiting
New pacemaker vs standard cardiac therapy for heart failure
This study tests a newer type of pacemaker that paces the heart's left bundle branch area, compared to the usual cardiac resynchronization therapy. It is for people with heart failure who need a combined pacemaker-defibrillator (CRT-D) and have a specific heart rhythm pattern (left bundle branch block) with reduced pumping strength.
Huntsville, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT07057323Enrolling by invitation
Coronary sinus reducer for heart failure with preserved pumping function
This trial tests a device placed in a heart vein to improve symptoms in people whose heart pumps normally but still causes shortness of breath and fatigue. The device may help relieve pressure in the heart and improve daily life.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT07037459RecruitingPhase 3
