Imaging study to guide heart failure device treatment
This study uses advanced heart imaging to better understand heart function in people who may benefit from a cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) device. It aims to find ways to improve how doctors choose treatment and tailor care.
Charlottesville, VirginiaAges 20–90 - NCT06973902Recruiting
A study on heart pump therapy and stress echo for advanced heart failure
This trial tests how well a heart stress ultrasound (dobutamine echo) can predict if you will get better from a special heart device called cardiac contractility modulation (CCM). CCM is a pacemaker-like implant for people with advanced heart failure who still have symptoms even with the best medicines. The study will help doctors know which patients benefit the most from this device.
Marcianise, CampaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06678841Recruiting
Pacing therapy for heart failure with preserved pumping ability
This study tests a new pacing approach for people with a specific type of heart failure (HFpEF) to see if it can improve symptoms and quality of life. It involves a pacemaker-like device that adjusts heart rate based on your needs.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 40 years+ - NCT06921603Recruiting
Ultrasound-guided diuretics for heart failure
This trial tests whether using a bedside ultrasound to guide diuretic treatment improves outcomes in people hospitalized for worsening heart failure. It may help find the right dose of IV diuretics faster.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05933083Recruiting
In-person vs telehealth heart rehab comparison study
This study compares whether heart rehabilitation done in person or by telehealth (video/phone) works as well for people with certain heart conditions. It may help you and others choose the safest and most effective way to receive cardiac rehab.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04471129Recruiting
Noninvasive breathing support after heart surgery to protect heart function
This study tests whether two noninvasive breathing/oxygen treatments after cardiac surgery help improve heart function. It may benefit people with weak pumping function who are recovering in the hospital and can safely use these devices.
RouenAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT05443321Enrolling by invitation
Health information sharing during hospital transfers
This trial studies whether sharing patients’ health information between hospitals during transfers can improve outcomes. You may be included if you are moved from a specific partner hospital to Brigham and Women’s Hospital and admitted to certain hospital units.
