Cardio-renal syndrome

This trial tests whether a digital tool that prompts doctors to adjust heart failure medications can improve care. The tool uses home monitoring and patient data to suggest medication changes. The study includes over 1,300 adults with heart failure and will measure hospitalizatio…

This study tests whether hearts from donors who died from circulatory death (DCD) are as safe for transplant as hearts from brain-dead donors (DBD). About 40 adult heart transplant recipients will receive either a DCD or DBD heart. The goal is to see if using DCD hearts can safel…

This study looks at whether doing a preventive heart ablation (a procedure to destroy small areas of heart tissue causing irregular rhythms) before LVAD surgery can reduce serious problems like dangerous heart rhythms, death, blood clots, or heart failure in the first 30 days aft…

This study tests whether a bedside device called Quantra can help doctors decide when to give blood transfusions during complex heart surgery. The device measures how well a patient's blood clots in real time. Researchers hope this will reduce the number of blood products (like r…

This registry follows 350 adult heart transplant patients whose donor hearts were kept alive and beating using the OCS Heart System before transplant. The goal is to see how well patients do one year after surgery. The device may allow more donor hearts to be used, especially tho…

Researchers are testing whether an artificial intelligence system can analyze echocardiogram images and draft reports as accurately as experienced sonographers in patients with heart failure. The trial enrolls adults with new or worsening heart failure symptoms and elevated heart…

This study looks at whether existing blood markers can accurately identify the underlying cause of heart failure in 511 patients. Researchers aim to improve diagnosis and potentially reduce healthcare costs by avoiding unnecessary tests. Participants were recently diagnosed with …

This study monitors heart rate variability in 150 adults with type 2 diabetes who also have heart failure, chronic kidney disease, or both. Participants will wear a 24-hour heart monitor before and after starting a standard SGLT2 inhibitor medication. The goal is to understand ho…

This observational study aims to capture a real-world snapshot of how heart failure is managed across Europe and worldwide. Researchers will collect data from about 4,000 adults with chronic or acute heart failure, looking at whether routine care aligns with the 2021 ESC guidelin…

This study looks at whether measuring salt levels in the kidneys using a special MRI can help doctors predict which heart failure patients will not respond well to water pills (diuretics). About 50 adults with heart failure and kidney disease will be scanned to compare salt conte…
