CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE

This study looks at whether a special pacing feature called SyncAV helps people with congestive heart failure more than standard pacing. About 1,686 people who need a new heart device will be randomly assigned to get SyncAV or regular pacing. The main goal is to see if the heart'…

This study tested whether stimulating the vagus nerve in the neck could improve heart function in 118 people with advanced heart failure. Participants had a device implanted to deliver mild electrical pulses to the nerve. The goal was to see if this therapy could reduce heart siz…

This study tests a single dose of AB-1002, a gene therapy given directly into the heart's arteries, for people with advanced heart failure (NYHA Class III) caused by non-ischemic cardiomyopathy. About 150 adults will be randomly assigned to receive the therapy or a placebo. The g…

This study looks at tiny pieces of RNA in the blood of people with congestive heart failure. Researchers want to see if these RNA levels can predict heart changes or future health problems like hospital visits. About 400 adults with heart failure will give blood samples during st…

This study aimed to see if electronic health record reminders could help primary care doctors reduce the number of risky medications taken by older adults. The project was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled, so no results are available.

This study looks at a new program at UCLA Health called the Next Day Clinic (NDC). Instead of admitting low-risk patients from the emergency room for conditions like pneumonia or heart failure, the NDC sends them home and schedules a high-acuity clinic visit the next day. The goa…

This study looks at whether a special PET scan can help doctors predict who is at highest risk for sudden cardiac arrest in people with blocked heart arteries and heart failure. About 300 adults who already have a defibrillator (ICD) implanted will be followed over time. The goal…

This study planned to help adults with heart disease who also face social challenges (like trouble finding food or housing) avoid going back to the hospital. It would have used a screening tool to identify these patients and connect them with community resources. However, the stu…
