The purpose of the study is to find the best technique and tools for gaining access to left and right heart arteries using x-rays that show blood flow, in patients who are having a specific Medtronic heart valve inserted.
The purpose of the study is to determine the safety and effectiveness of the drug TQJ230 to lower Lipoprotein(a) to reduce cardiovascular events in patients with a history of heart disease.
The purpose of the study is to provide data demonstrating the safety and effectiveness of the PulseSelect™ PFA System for the treatment of atrial fibrillation.
The purpose of this study is to determine if the drug empagliflozin helps to lower the chances of having to go to the hospital for heart failure and whether it lowers the chances of dying from cardiovascular disease.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effect of in-hospital initiation of dapagliflozin versus placebo on the clinical outcome of cardiovascular death or worsening heart failure.
The purpose of the study is to compare differences in blood flow and valve pressures by two different methods in patients who are having transcatheter aortic valve replacement.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of etripamil nasal spray in patients with Paroxysmal Supraventricular Tachycardia (PSVT).
The purpose of this study aims to assess the efficacy and safety of selexipag in patients with inoperable or persistent/recurrent chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH).
Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is the most frequent genetic lipoprotein disorder associated with premature coronary artery disease. The goal of this initiative is to create a registry of subjects with FH across Canada. The registry will help clinicians and researchers to determine the burden of disease and the long-term effects of treatment.
The aim of the study is to evaluate efficacy and safety of empagliflozin versus placebo on top of guideline-directed medical therapy in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction
Research study which tests the safety and effectiveness of a new vascular closure device to close the femoral access puncture that is created in patients who require this form of access in order to perform the planned procedure. The MANTA device is expected to seal the femoral access puncture in less than 1 minute. This may result in less blood loss and a shorter time to walking compared to alternative closure means. Use of the MANTA device in this study is experimental. All other parts of the procedure involve standard medical care
The main objective of this study is to assess the safety, efficacy and dose response of LABR-312 administered intravenously at the time of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with a drug eluting stent in reducing restenosis as measured by Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) at 9 months post procedure in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM).
Administration of LABR-312 at the time of PCI will reduce restenosis compared with placebo as assessed by the OCT endpoint of % neointimal hyperplasia (%NIH) volume at 9 months in patients with DM.
Health behaviors like physical activity and nutritious eating habits significantly reduce initial stroke risk and help prevent strokes from reoccurring. Yet, most individuals struggle to meet physical activity and nutrition recommendations. Health and health behaviors are typically linked in couples, and spouses occupy a unique position to facilitate each other’s physical activity and healthy nutrition, thereby reducing stroke risk for everyone involved.
This is a randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, multi-center, double-blind, event driven study of vericiguat (MK-1242) in participants with HFrEF. The primary hypothesis is vericiguat (MK-1242) is superior to placebo in increasing the time to first occurrence of the composite of cardiovascular (CV) death or heart failure (HF) hospitalization in participants with HFrEF.
The AMPLATZER LAA Occluder is a transcatheter, self-expanding nitinol device intended for use in preventing thrombus embolization from the LAA. The purpose of this study is to compile real world outcome data on the use of AMPLATZER LAA Occluder in subjects with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF)
We hope to understand a heart failure patient's journey during the transition of care from the emergency department or hospital to home. We also want to explore how technology, like home health monitoring, can better support patients' recovery during this time.
The EARLY-AF study is centered on an evaluation of the impact of the early invasive management of Atrial Fibrillation. The primary goal of the study is to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of an early invasive approach. Specifically, the investigators are aiming to evaluate if PVI performed with the Arctic Front cryoballoon is superior to AAD as first-line therapy in preventing atrial arrhythmia recurrences (arrhythmia related symptoms, hospitalisations, and health care utilization).
INVESTED will test the hypothesis that high dose trivalent influenza vaccine will reduce cardiopulmonary events to a greater extent than standard dose quadrivalent influenza vaccine in high-risk cardiovascular patients with a recent history of myocardial infarction or heart failure. The trial will enroll 9300 participants over one Vanguard (pilot) season and three additional influenza seasons. The primary endpoint will be a composite of all-cause mortality or cardiopulmonary hospitalization.
Patients on the waiting list for kidney transplantation are at risk for coronary artery disease (CAD). The optimal strategy to monitor and maintain the cardiac fitness of these patients is unknown. Currently patients without any symptoms of CAD undergo annual testing to determine if they have disease. This study will determine if screening is necessary.
The purpose of this clinical study is to test the hypothesis that market released Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) devices which contain the AdaptivCRT® (aCRT) algorithm have a superior outcome compared to standard CRT devices in CRT indicated patients with normal atrio-ventricular (AV) conduction and left bundle branch block (LBBB).
