HEART DISEASE

This study is testing a tool that uses sound waves to check blood flow during heart bypass surgery. The goal is to see if using this tool helps the new blood vessels stay open longer and prevents future heart problems. It will involve over 1,200 people having their first planned …

This large study in Denmark aims to find the best way to program new heart defibrillators (ICDs). It will compare two different settings for the device's painless pacing feature, which tries to stop dangerous fast heart rhythms before a shock is needed. Nearly 4,000 patients rece…

This study is testing a program called 'Moxie' designed to help people with chronic heart, kidney, or diabetes conditions manage their health better after leaving the hospital. It will enroll 9,000 adults in Alberta to see if receiving weekly health information by mail and/or let…

This study is testing a new, contactless technology that uses a short video scan of a person's face to measure heart health. Researchers want to see if this camera-based method is as accurate as standard blood pressure checks and cholesterol tests for estimating a person's risk o…

This study aims to test how accurate a new chest-worn patch is at measuring blood pressure compared to the standard arm-cuff monitor. About 600 adults who are already scheduled for a 24-hour blood pressure test will wear both devices at the same time for a day. Researchers will c…

This study aims to test how well new artificial intelligence (AI) tools can screen for heart disease. It will enroll about 19,300 participants, including teenagers, adults, and pregnant women. The AI will analyze simple heart tests (ECG and ultrasound) to see if it can accurately…

This study aims to find out if providing families with healthy food, nutrition education, and personalized coaching can help them improve their heart health and make lasting lifestyle changes. It will involve 120 families where a parent has a high body mass index (BMI) and Medica…

This study aims to see how easy and comfortable it is for people to wear a new heart-monitoring patch called the WearLinq eWave. About 500 adults, including some with heart conditions and some who are healthy, will wear the patch on their chest for 7 days, with some wearing it fo…

This study is collecting blood samples from 30,000 adults in the UK with various health conditions to help develop and improve rapid diagnostic tests. Participants will provide blood samples that researchers will use to create better testing methods for conditions like blood clot…
