This study is looking at how well CPAP machines, which help people with sleep apnea breathe at night, can also help lower their blood pressure. Researchers want to see which patients get the biggest blood pressure benefit and if adding a short-term sleep aid pill makes the CPAP t…

This large study is testing if people who have had a successful procedure to fix an irregular heartbeat (atrial fibrillation) can safely stop taking daily blood-thinning medication. It will compare the risks of stroke and serious bleeding between people who stop the medication an…

This study compares two methods to prevent strokes during a procedure to open narrowed neck arteries. Patients getting carotid artery stenting will receive either the standard protective filter alone or that filter plus a balloon device that temporarily stops blood flow. Research…

This study compares three different surgical cooling techniques used during emergency repair of a torn aorta. Researchers will enroll 306 patients across 7 hospitals in China who need this life-saving surgery. They want to see if using milder cooling during the operation leads to…

This study is testing a new circular-shaped catheter that uses pulsed electrical energy to treat a specific type of abnormal heart rhythm called atrial flutter. Doctors will use a small ultrasound camera inside the heart to guide the procedure. The main goal is to see if this new…

This study aims to find the best way to treat 'vulnerable plaques' in heart arteries that haven't yet caused major blockages. Researchers will compare placing a stent (a tiny mesh tube) plus strong medication against medication alone in 2,190 people who recently had a heart-relat…

This study is testing whether adding a medication called tirofiban after emergency clot removal (endovascular therapy) helps people recover better from a severe stroke. It will involve 716 patients who have had a stroke caused by a blocked brain artery. Half will receive tirofiba…

This study is testing two different ways to use a heart-lung support machine (ECMO) during high-risk procedures to open blocked heart arteries. Researchers want to see if having the machine ready to turn on only if needed causes fewer complications than having it running from the…

This study is testing whether a comprehensive village-based management program can help elderly people with chronic heart conditions live longer and healthier lives. The program combines medication, lifestyle changes, education, and regular heart monitoring for up to 10 years. Re…

This study is testing if a heart procedure called catheter ablation can improve a severe leaky heart valve in people who also have a persistent irregular heartbeat (atrial fibrillation). Researchers will compare the procedure plus standard medications to medications alone. The ma…

This trial is testing if adding a second drug called tirofiban helps people recover better after a stroke. It is for patients who receive the standard clot-busting medicine but don't show enough improvement within the first hour. About 976 participants will be randomly assigned t…

This study aims to find the safest and most effective time to perform corrective surgery on newborns with a serious heart defect called Tetralogy of Fallot. It will compare surgery done in the first month of life to surgery done around 3-6 months of age. The goal is to see which …

This study is testing a special smart mattress for hospital beds. It aims to monitor patients with heart conditions without any wires or patches touching their skin. The mattress tracks heart rate, breathing, temperature, and body position. Researchers want to see if it works as …

This study is testing whether a wearable, AI-powered heart monitor patch worn for a week can find hidden cases of atrial fibrillation (AF) better than standard tests in older adults living in rural China. Finding AF early is crucial because it's a major cause of stroke. The resea…

This study is testing if a heart procedure called catheter ablation improves quality of life for people aged 80 and older who have symptomatic atrial fibrillation (AF). It will compare the real procedure to a carefully designed fake (sham) procedure to see which group feels bette…
