This study tests whether a newer pacing method (conduction system pacing) is as good as or better than standard biventricular pacing in heart failure patients with atrial fibrillation who need a heart ablation. About 82 participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two pac…

This study tests a catheter ablation procedure for people with persistent or long-standing persistent atrial fibrillation, a type of irregular heartbeat that is hard to treat. The procedure uses electroporation and radiofrequency energy to create scars in the heart that block abn…

This early-stage trial tests whether applying electrochemotherapy (electric pulses plus the drug bleomycin) to the area where a pancreatic tumor was removed can lower the chance of cancer coming back. Ten patients with resectable pancreatic cancer will receive the treatment durin…

This study compares two types of ablation—pulse field and radiofrequency—for treating persistent atrial fibrillation, a common heart rhythm problem. Fifty participants will receive one of the two procedures to isolate faulty electrical areas in the heart. The goal is to see which…

This study compares a 5-day versus a 10-day course of oseltamivir (Tamiflu) to prevent influenza in people exposed to the virus while in the hospital. About 200 adults with flu risk factors will be randomly assigned to one of the two treatment lengths. The goal is to see if the s…

This study looks at whether acupuncture can reduce migraine pain and lower signs of inflammation and brain stress in the blood. Researchers will compare three types of gentle stimulation: laser, electro, and traditional acupuncture. 75 adults with migraines will receive treatment…

This study follows 500 people with peripheral artery disease (PAD) who undergo a procedure to open blocked leg arteries. Researchers check blood and heart ultrasound before and after the procedure to find hidden heart injury. The goal is to see if certain markers can predict futu…

This study follows 50 adults who had surgery for coarctation of the aorta (a narrowed main artery). Researchers want to see if exercise-induced high blood pressure causes hidden damage to the heart, arteries, or kidneys. Participants will do a stress test, heart ultrasound, and b…

This study examines whether SGLT2 inhibitors, a type of diabetes drug, can improve red blood cell production and heart/kidney function in people with chronic heart failure. Researchers will compare blood tests, heart ultrasound measures, and clinical outcomes between 85 patients …

This study follows 30 infants with congenital heart disease who need heart surgery. Researchers will use blood tests, EEG brain wave monitoring, and MRI scans to look for signs of brain injury. The goal is to find better ways to detect brain damage early and identify which childr…

This study aims to find out how many pregnant women in Slovenia use alcohol or cannabis by testing their newborns' first stool (meconium) and asking mothers to fill out a survey. Researchers will also compare the gut bacteria of babies exposed to these substances with those who w…

This study looks at how the complement system, a part of the immune system, may contribute to kidney damage in people with diabetes. Researchers will measure complement proteins in blood and urine from 90 participants to see if they are linked to kidney disease severity and blood…
