This study compares two techniques—radiofrequency and pulse field ablation—to treat persistent atrial fibrillation, a condition where the heart beats irregularly. Researchers will check which method better isolates the areas causing the problem and keeps the heart in normal rhyth…

This study tests a catheter-based procedure to treat people with persistent or long-standing atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat) who also have an enlarged left atrium. The procedure uses targeted energy to isolate areas in the heart that cause the abnormal rhythm. The ma…

This study looks at 82 people with heart failure and a type of irregular heartbeat called atrial fibrillation. All participants will have a procedure to control their heart rate and then get a pacemaker. The study compares a newer pacing method (conduction system pacing) with the…

This early-phase study tests whether using electric pulses to deliver chemotherapy (bleomycin) directly to the surgical site can lower the chance of pancreatic cancer returning after surgery. About 10 to 20 adults with removable pancreatic tumors will receive this treatment. The …

This study tests whether taking the flu medicine oseltamivir for 5 days works as well as taking it for 10 days to prevent flu in hospital patients who were exposed to the virus. About 200 adults with flu risk factors will participate. The goal is to see if a shorter treatment is …

This study looks at whether acupuncture can reduce migraine pain and signs of brain stress or inflammation. Researchers will compare three gentle methods—laser, electro, and traditional acupuncture—in 75 adults with migraines. They will track pain levels and check blood for infla…

This study follows 500 people with peripheral artery disease (narrowed leg arteries) who undergo a procedure to restore blood flow. Researchers check blood for heart-damage markers and use heart ultrasound to find silent injuries that may raise future heart attack or stroke risk.…

This study looks at 30 infants with congenital heart disease who need heart surgery. Researchers will take blood samples and use EEG and MRI scans to find signs of brain injury early. The goal is to better identify which children are at risk for brain damage after surgery.

This study looks at adults who had surgery to fix a narrowed aorta (coarctation) but now develop high blood pressure only during exercise. Researchers want to see if this exercise-induced high blood pressure causes hidden damage to the heart, arteries, or kidneys. Fifty participa…

This study looks at how certain immune proteins, called the complement system, may make kidney disease worse in people with diabetes. Researchers will measure these proteins in blood and urine from 90 participants to see if they are linked to kidney damage and blood vessel health…

This study aims to find out how common alcohol and cannabis use is among pregnant women in Slovenia. Researchers will test newborn meconium (first stool) for signs of alcohol and drugs, and also ask mothers about their habits. For samples that test positive, they will analyze the…

This study reviews medical records of 85 adults with chronic heart failure to see if SGLT2 inhibitors (a type of diabetes drug) improve red blood cell production and heart/kidney function over 12 months. Researchers compare those who started the drug to a similar group who did no…
