HEART TRANSPLANTATION

This study compares two solutions used to preserve donor hearts before transplant in children. The goal is to see if the newer solution, Custodiol-N, is as safe as the standard one. Fifteen children awaiting their first heart transplant will take part. Researchers will monitor si…

This study tests whether belatacept, an anti-rejection drug, is safe for adults who have received a new heart. Researchers will monitor 12 participants for serious side effects like organ rejection, infections, or graft failure. The goal is to find a better way to manage the immu…

This study looks at fat cells around the heart arteries in 60 patients getting a heart transplant. Researchers want to see if the size of these fat cells is linked to heart disease. The goal is to learn more about how fat tissue affects artery health.

This study is for children aged 10-18 with certain heart conditions or who have had a heart transplant. Researchers will use special MRI scans taken during exercise to see how the heart and skeletal muscles work together. The goal is to learn more about what affects fitness in th…

This study looks at how small blood vessels in the skin react in people who have had a heart transplant. Researchers will use a non-invasive laser device to measure blood flow after applying a mild medication to the skin. The goal is to learn more about heart and blood vessel hea…

This study follows 270 adults who have had or will have a heart transplant to track how their heart and body metabolism changes over time. Researchers will use imaging, blood tests, and biopsies to monitor heart function, rejection, infections, and other health issues. The goal i…

This study is testing whether a blood test that looks for DNA from the donor heart can spot early signs of rejection in heart transplant patients. Researchers will compare the test results with standard heart biopsies in 120 adults across Sweden. If successful, this could reduce …

This study will follow 10,000 people with heart conditions (like heart failure, heart attack, or bypass surgery) who are going through cardiac rehab at a clinic in Davos, Switzerland. Researchers will collect health data, blood samples, and patient reports to learn what helps peo…

This study looks at heart tissue samples from 216 adults who already need a biopsy as part of their care. Researchers want to find unique molecular patterns for different heart conditions, like cardiomyopathy and heart transplant recovery. The goal is to improve how doctors diagn…

This study looks at the long-term health of children (16 and older) whose mothers had a solid organ transplant before pregnancy. Researchers want to see if these children have higher risks for heart or kidney problems, possibly due to the mother's anti-rejection medications. Abou…
