This study looks back at medical records to see if a specific class of heart failure drugs (SGLT2 inhibitors) helps improve blood cell production and, in turn, benefits heart and kidney health. It compares 85 patients who took these drugs to similar patients who did not, tracking…

This study is testing a more extensive version of a common heart procedure called catheter ablation for people with persistent, hard-to-treat atrial fibrillation (AFib) and an enlarged heart. Doctors will create a complex pattern of scar tissue inside the heart to block the fault…

This study compares two methods for treating long-lasting atrial fibrillation (AFib), a common irregular heartbeat. It tests whether a newer 'pulse field' ablation technique creates more durable scars in the heart than the standard 'radiofrequency' method to better block the faul…

This study compares three gentle stimulation techniques to see which works best for reducing migraine symptoms. Researchers are testing traditional acupuncture, electroacupuncture (with gentle electrical stimulation), and laser acupuncture (using low-level lasers instead of needl…

This study aims to find better ways to detect brain injury early in babies with heart defects who need surgery. Researchers will measure specific proteins in the blood of 30 infants before and after their operation. They will compare these blood test results with brain scans and …

This study aims to understand if exercise causes high blood pressure that damages the heart, blood vessels, or kidneys in adults who had surgery as children to fix a narrowed aorta. Researchers will observe 50 patients, measuring their blood pressure during exercise tests and che…

This study aims to understand how part of the immune system, called the complement system, contributes to kidney damage in people with diabetes. Researchers will measure specific proteins in the blood and urine of 90 participants with diabetic kidney disease to see if immune syst…
