										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The study focuses on people with <b>heart failure</b>, a condition where the heart cannot pump blood as well as it should. Participants must have been taking a medication that belongs to the <b>SGLT-2 inhibitor</b> class, such as <b>dapagliflozin</b> or <b>empagliflozin</b>, for at least four weeks before a planned operation on the heart. The purpose of the study is to compare the effects of continuing versus stopping these medicines before heart surgery on heart‑related outcomes after the operation.</p>
<p>In the trial, participants are randomly assigned to either keep taking the medication right up to the morning of the surgery or to stop it three days before the procedure. The operation is performed using <b>cardiopulmonary bypass</b>, a technique that temporarily takes over the work of the heart and lungs. After surgery, patients are monitored for about a month to see whether they develop problems such as damage to the heart muscle measured by an increase in <b>high-sensitivity troponin I</b>, a blood test that shows heart injury, or experience <b>low cardiac output syndrome</b>, which means the heart is not pumping enough blood. Other complications that are checked include a rare condition called <b>euglycaemic ketoacidosis</b> (a buildup of acids despite normal blood sugar), <b>acute renal failure</b> (sudden kidney problems) assessed using the <b>KDIGO</b> scoring system, need for additional hospital stays for heart failure, and overall survival. The follow‑up period lasts 30 days after the surgery, during which length of hospital stay and quality of life are also recorded.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The trial focuses on women with early <b>Breast cancer</b> who are scheduled to receive anthracycline chemotherapy, a treatment that can increase the risk of developing <b>Heart Failure</b>. The medication being evaluated is <b>LCZ696</b> (<b>sacubitril/valsartan</b>) taken as a tablet, while a group of participants will receive a placebo; the purpose is to determine whether the drug can prevent or lessen the decline in heart pumping ability caused by the cancer therapy.</p>
<p>Participants are randomly assigned to either the active drug or placebo and will take the tablets daily for roughly 18 months alongside their cancer treatment. Heart function is measured at the start and at the end of the study using <b>CMR</b>, a special type of MRI that visualizes the heart. The primary assessment is the change in <b>LVEF</b>, which indicates how well the left side of the heart pumps blood. Additional evaluations include <b>GLS</b>, a measure of how the heart muscle stretches during beats, and blood tests for <b>NT-proBNP</b> and the high‑sensitivity cardiac injury markers <b>hs‑TnI</b> and <b>hs‑TnT</b>.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This study focuses on <b>Heart Failure</b>, which is a condition where the heart cannot pump blood effectively enough to meet the body&#8217;s needs. This can cause symptoms like shortness of breath, tiredness, and swelling in the legs and ankles. The study will examine the use of several medications that are commonly prescribed to treat this condition. These medications include <b>spironolactone</b>, <b>losartan</b>, <b>trandolapril</b>, <b>enalapril</b>, <b>olmesartan</b>, <b>irbesartan</b>, <b>bisoprolol</b>, <b>sacubitril valsartan</b>, <b>nebivolol</b>, <b>ramipril</b>, <b>valsartan</b>, <b>perindopril</b>, <b>candesartan</b>, <b>canrenone</b>, <b>carvedilol</b>, <b>finerenone</b>, <b>empagliflozin</b>, <b>quinapril</b>, <b>fosinopril</b>, <b>metoprolol</b>, <b>dapagliflozin</b>, <b>captopril</b>, <b>lisinopril</b>, <b>eplerenone</b>, and <b>potassium canrenoate</b>. The purpose of the study is to understand how well these life-saving medications are being used in women with heart failure and to determine if increasing the doses of these medications can improve health outcomes compared to usual care.</p>
<p>The study has two parts. The first part looks back at medical records to understand the current state of heart failure treatment and identify any differences in how men and women receive care. The second part is a forward-looking trial involving women between 18 and 85 years old who have been hospitalized for heart failure. These women will be divided into two groups: one group will receive increased doses of their heart failure medications following a specific treatment plan, while the other group will continue with their usual care. The study will track participants for 12 months to see how the different approaches affect their health.</p>
<p>During the study, researchers will measure several outcomes including death from any cause, hospital readmission for heart failure, and worsening heart failure symptoms. They will also assess quality of life using a questionnaire, how well participants stick to their medication, and any side effects experienced. Additional measurements will include changes in blood test markers and outcomes in specific groups of patients such as those with different levels of heart function, different ages, or those with diabetes, kidney disease, or obesity. The study aims to determine whether optimizing medication doses in women with heart failure can reduce illness and death, improve quality of life, and help identify the best treatment approach for this patient group.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This study involves people with <b>heart failure</b> who have either mildly reduced or preserved ejection fraction, which means their heart is not pumping blood as well as it should but has not severely weakened. Ejection fraction is a measurement that shows how much blood the heart pumps out with each beat. The study also focuses on people who have inflammation in their body, which is a condition where the body&#8217;s immune system is more active than normal and can be measured by certain blood tests. The treatment being tested is called <b>ziltivekimab</b>, which is given as an injection under the skin once a month. Some people in the study will receive ziltivekimab while others will receive <b>placebo</b>, and both groups will continue taking their regular heart failure medications.</p>
<p>The purpose of this study is to find out if ziltivekimab works better than placebo in reducing the risk of death from heart and blood vessel problems and preventing heart failure events such as hospital stays or urgent visits for worsening heart failure. The study will also look at other health outcomes including the combined risk of death from heart problems, heart attacks, and strokes, as well as how the treatment affects kidney function, quality of life, and inflammation levels in the body. Quality of life will be measured using questionnaires that ask about symptoms and daily activities.</p>
<p>During the study, participants will receive monthly injections for up to 48 months. The study will track various health events including hospitalizations for heart failure, deaths, heart attacks, strokes, and changes in heart and kidney function. Blood tests will be done to measure inflammation markers like <b>hs-CRP</b> and heart stress markers like <b>NT-proBNP</b>. Heart function will be checked using <b>echocardiography</b>, which is an ultrasound test that creates pictures of the heart. The study will continue until enough information has been collected to determine whether ziltivekimab is effective in helping people with this type of heart failure and inflammation.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This study focuses on people with <b>Heart Failure</b>, a condition where the heart cannot pump blood effectively throughout the body. The study will test a new medication called <b>PF-07328948</b>, which is taken as tablets by mouth. Some participants will receive the actual medication while others will receive a placebo. The purpose is to evaluate how well this new drug works and how safe it is for adults with heart failure when taken daily for 36 weeks.</p>
<p>The study will look at patients who have a specific type of heart failure where the heart&#8217;s ability to pump blood is only mildly reduced or preserved. Participants must have certain signs of heart failure, including elevated pressure in the heart chambers or previous hospital visits for heart failure symptoms. The study will measure how the treatment affects important aspects of the condition, such as physical function and quality of life.</p>
<p>Throughout the study, researchers will track any heart-related events, measure how far participants can walk in 6 minutes, and assess how participants feel in their daily activities. They will also monitor the levels of substances in the blood that indicate heart stress and keep track of any side effects that may occur during treatment. All participants must also be taking another type of medication called an <b>SGLT2 inhibitor</b> before and during the study.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This study is looking at <b>heart failure</b> with <b>left ventricular systolic dysfunction</b> in children and teenagers. Heart failure is a condition where the heart cannot pump blood as well as it should, and left ventricular systolic dysfunction means that the left side of the heart, which is the main pumping chamber, is not working properly. The study will test a medication called <b>finerenone</b>, which is also known by its code name <b>BAY 94-8862</b>. Some participants will receive finerenone while others will receive placebo. All participants will continue to take their regular heart failure medicines that their doctors have prescribed. The medication being tested comes in different forms including tablets and granules that can be mixed with liquid for children who cannot swallow tablets.</p>
<p>The purpose of the study is to see if finerenone can reduce levels of a substance in the blood called <b>NT-proBNP</b>, which is a marker that shows how well the heart is working. The study will also look at how safe finerenone is and how the body processes the medication. Participants in this study will be children from 6 months old up to 18 years old who have heart failure caused by various conditions such as heart defects present from birth, inherited heart muscle problems, inflammation of the heart muscle, certain muscle disorders, or other causes affecting the heart&#8217;s pumping ability. The children must already be taking standard medicines for heart failure for at least 30 days before joining the study.</p>
<p>During the study, participants will be assigned by chance to receive either finerenone or placebo in addition to their regular heart failure treatment. The treatment will last for 3 months, and doctors will measure various things including blood levels of NT-proBNP, potassium levels, blood pressure, kidney function, and heart function using ultrasound imaging of the heart. The study will also track any unwanted effects that occur and will monitor for serious heart-related events. Blood tests will be done to measure how much finerenone is in the body and how long it stays there. The entire study is expected to run from 2025 until the end of 2029.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This study looks at <b>heart failure</b> with <b>left ventricular systolic dysfunction</b> in children and young people from birth to 18 years of age. Left ventricular systolic dysfunction means that the left lower chamber of the heart, which pumps blood to the body, does not squeeze or contract as well as it should. The treatment being studied is <b>finerenone</b>, also known as <b>BAY 94-8862</b>, which will be given in addition to standard of care treatment. Finerenone comes in different forms including film coated tablets and granules for oral suspension that are taken by mouth. The purpose of this study is to show that finerenone is safe when given for a long time together with standard treatment in children with this heart condition.</p>
<p>This study is an extension study, which means some participants may join after completing a previous study with finerenone, while other newly enrolled infants under 6 months of age can join directly if they meet certain health requirements. During the study, participants will receive finerenone along with their regular heart failure medications. The study will monitor various safety measures including blood potassium levels, blood pressure, and kidney function, as well as checking for any unwanted effects of the treatment. The study will also measure levels of a substance called <b>NT-proBNP</b> in the blood, which is a marker of heart function, and will use imaging with <b>echocardiography</b> to see how well the heart is working.</p>
<p>The study will last for approximately 270 days for each participant. Throughout this time, regular visits will be scheduled to check the safety and effects of the treatment. Blood samples will be collected to measure how much finerenone is in the body. For participants using the granules for oral suspension, there will be questions about the taste and texture of this form of the medicine. The study will track any side effects or health changes that occur during treatment.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This study is looking at <b>heart failure in remission</b>, which is a condition where the heart&#8217;s pumping ability has improved and returned to normal levels after previously being weakened. Heart failure in remission means that the heart has recovered to function normally, the heart chambers have returned to normal size, certain blood markers are at low levels, patients can perform daily activities without problems, and their condition has been stable. The study will use several medications that are commonly prescribed for heart failure, including <b>lisinopril</b>, <b>empagliflozin</b> (also known as <b>Jardiance</b>), <b>bisoprolol fumarate</b>, and <b>spironolactone</b>. These medications work in different ways to help the heart function better and are usually taken by mouth as tablets.</p>
<p>The purpose of this study is to find out if it is safe and possible to reduce or partially withdraw heart failure medications in patients whose hearts have recovered, compared to continuing all medications at the same doses. This will help doctors understand whether patients who have recovered from heart failure can safely take lower doses of their medications or stop some of them. The study will compare two groups of patients: one group will have some of their heart failure medications reduced while the other group will continue taking all their medications as before.</p>
<p>During the study, patients will be followed for up to 24 months. The study will measure several important things to see how well the heart is working and how patients are doing overall. Doctors will use heart ultrasound scans to check if the heart chambers change in size and will measure blood markers to monitor the heart&#8217;s condition. They will also track whether patients need to restart or increase their heart failure medications, how patients feel and function in their daily lives, and whether any serious health problems occur. The study will begin enrolling patients in October 2025 and is expected to be completed by March 2028.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This study focuses on treating patients with <b>heart failure</b>, specifically those who have experienced a <b>myocardial infarction</b> (heart attack) and have reduced heart function. The treatment being investigated involves injecting special cells called <b>cardiac atrial stem cells</b> directly into the heart muscle. These cells are obtained from donor heart tissue and are being tested to help improve heart function in patients with damaged heart tissue.</p>
<p>The purpose of this research is to evaluate whether injecting these stem cells into the heart muscle is safe for patients with advanced heart failure. The treatment involves a surgical procedure where the cells are injected directly into specific areas of the heart that have been damaged by the previous heart attack.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This clinical trial is investigating the treatment of <b>heart failure</b>, specifically for people who have a weak pumping function of the left side of the heart (where the <b>left ventricular ejection fraction</b> is less than 40%). Heart failure is a condition where the heart cannot pump blood effectively enough to meet the body&#8217;s needs, which can cause symptoms like shortness of breath, fatigue, and swelling in the legs.</p>
<p>The study will test whether a medication called <b>vicadrostat</b> (BI 690517) when used in combination with another medication called <b>empagliflozin</b> is better than <b>empagliflozin</b> alone (with placebo) for treating heart failure. The purpose of the study is to determine if this combination therapy can reduce the occurrence of cardiovascular death, hospitalizations for heart failure, or urgent heart failure visits.</p>
<p>Participants in this study will be randomly assigned to receive either the combination of vicadrostat and empagliflozin or empagliflozin with placebo. The study will track outcomes such as cardiovascular events and measure heart failure symptoms using a questionnaire. This is a double-blind study, which means neither the participants nor the researchers will know which treatment each participant is receiving during the study.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This clinical trial is focused on studying the effects of a new treatment for people with <b>heart failure</b>. Heart failure is a condition where the heart doesn&#8217;t pump blood as well as it should. The study will test a combination of two medications: <b>BI 690517</b> and <b>empagliflozin</b>. Empagliflozin is a medication already used to treat heart failure, while BI 690517 is a new drug being tested. Some participants will receive a placebo, which looks like the real medication but does not contain any active ingredients.</p>
<p>The purpose of the study is to see if the combination of BI 690517 and empagliflozin is more effective than empagliflozin alone in helping people with heart failure. Participants in the study will be randomly assigned to receive either the combination of BI 690517 and empagliflozin or a placebo and empagliflozin. The study will last for a period of 42 days, during which participants will take the medications orally, meaning they will swallow them in the form of tablets.</p>
<p>Throughout the study, researchers will monitor participants to see how the treatment affects their heart failure symptoms and overall health. The main focus will be on the time it takes for a participant to experience a serious heart-related event, such as a heart-related death or hospitalization due to heart failure. The study aims to provide valuable information on whether the new combination treatment can improve outcomes for people living with heart failure.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This clinical trial is focused on studying the effects of a medication called <em>Empagliflozin</em> on individuals with a condition known as <em>Pre-Heart Failure</em>, specifically in those who do not have diabetes. Pre-Heart Failure is a stage where the heart is at risk of developing heart failure, but it has not yet occurred. The medication being tested, Empagliflozin, is taken in the form of film-coated tablets and is commonly used to manage blood sugar levels in people with diabetes. However, this study aims to explore its potential benefits for heart health in non-diabetic individuals.</p>
<p>The purpose of the study is to assess how Empagliflozin affects the heart&#8217;s function over a period of six months. Participants will be monitored to see if there are any changes in the size of the heart&#8217;s left atrium, which is a chamber of the heart, using a method called <em>Cardiac Magnetic Resonance</em> (CMR). This method provides detailed images of the heart to help doctors understand its structure and function. Additionally, the study will explore the use of <em>Fitbit</em> devices and mobile health technology to encourage exercise among participants, as regular physical activity is known to support heart health.</p>
<p>Throughout the study, participants will take Empagliflozin daily and undergo regular check-ups to monitor their heart&#8217;s condition. The study will last for six months, during which various heart-related measurements will be taken to evaluate any changes. This research aims to provide insights into whether Empagliflozin can be beneficial for heart health in people who are at risk of heart failure but do not have diabetes.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This clinical trial is focused on studying the effects of stopping the use of <i>beta-blockers</i> in patients who have experienced <i>heart failure</i> but have since shown improvement in their heart function. Heart failure is a condition where the heart does not pump blood as well as it should. Beta-blockers are medications that help manage heart conditions by slowing down the heart rate and reducing blood pressure. The study aims to see if patients who have recovered heart function can safely discontinue beta-blockers without experiencing a relapse of heart failure or other heart-related issues.</p>
<p>Participants in the study will be those who have been diagnosed with heart failure for over a year and have shown improvement in their heart&#8217;s ability to pump blood. The study will compare two groups: one group will stop taking beta-blockers, while the other will continue their medication. The trial will monitor the participants over a period ranging from one to four years to observe any changes in their heart condition, including any return of heart failure symptoms or other cardiovascular events.</p>
<p>In addition to beta-blockers, the study will also consider the effects of other medications commonly used in heart failure treatment, such as <i>ACE inhibitors</i>, <i>Angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs)</i>, and <i>SGLT2 inhibitors</i>. These medications help manage heart failure by different mechanisms, such as relaxing blood vessels or helping the body remove excess glucose. The trial will assess the overall health and quality of life of participants, including any side effects from stopping beta-blockers, to determine the best approach for managing heart failure in patients with improved heart function.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This clinical trial is focused on studying the effects of a medication called <i>Entresto</i>, which contains the active substances <i>valsartan</i> and <i>sacubitril</i>, on patients with a specific type of heart condition known as <i>Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction</i> (HFpEF) and a related issue called <i>Secondary Mitral Valve Regurgitation</i>. Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction is a condition where the heart&#8217;s pumping ability is normal, but it has trouble relaxing and filling with blood. Secondary mitral valve regurgitation occurs when the heart&#8217;s mitral valve doesn&#8217;t close tightly, allowing blood to flow backward in the heart.</p>
<p>The purpose of this study is to assess how <i>Entresto</i> affects the heart&#8217;s function in these patients. Participants in the study will take <i>Entresto</i> in the form of film-coated tablets, which are taken orally. The study will last for about six months, during which time the effects of the medication on heart function will be monitored. Some participants may receive a placebo, which is a tablet that looks like the medication but does not contain the active substances.</p>
<p>Throughout the study, various tests will be conducted to evaluate heart function, including a combination of exercise testing and imaging techniques. These tests will help determine how the medication affects the heart&#8217;s ability to pump blood and the severity of the mitral valve regurgitation.

Reduced ejection fraction means that the heart&#8217;s left ventricle is not pumping as well as it should. These medications belong to a class of drugs called beta-blockers, which help to slow down the heart rate and reduce blood pressure, making it easier for the heart to pump blood.</p>
<p>The purpose of this study is to determine which of these two medications is more effective in reducing the risk of death from any cause or the first hospitalization due to worsening heart failure. Participants in the study will be patients who are already being treated for heart failure and have been prescribed either Carvedilol or Metoprolol succinate. The study will follow these patients over a period of time to observe the outcomes of their treatment.</p>
<p>Throughout the study, researchers will monitor the participants to see if there is a difference in the effectiveness of the two medications. The main focus will be on whether the patients experience any hospitalizations due to worsening heart failure or any other cause of death. This information will help doctors understand which medication might be better for treating heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. The study is expected to continue until 2029, providing valuable insights into the management of heart failure.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This clinical trial is focused on studying the effects of a new treatment called <em>AZD3427</em> for people with <em>Heart Failure</em> and <em>Pulmonary Hypertension</em> due to Left Heart Disease. Heart failure is a condition where the heart doesn&#8217;t pump blood as well as it should, and pulmonary hypertension is high blood pressure in the blood vessels that supply the lungs. The purpose of the study is to evaluate how <em>AZD3427</em>, which is given as a solution for injection under the skin, affects the blood flow in the lungs after 24 weeks of treatment.</p>
<p>Participants in the study will be randomly assigned to receive either <em>AZD3427</em> or a placebo, which looks like the treatment but does not contain the active substance. The study is designed to be double-blind, meaning neither the participants nor the researchers will know who is receiving the actual treatment or the placebo. This helps ensure that the results are not influenced by expectations. The study will take place over several months, with regular check-ups to monitor the participants&#8217; health and the effects of the treatment.</p>
<p>The main goal is to see if <em>AZD3427</em> can improve the condition of the blood vessels in the lungs, which is measured by a test called right heart catheterization. This test helps doctors see how well the heart and lungs are working together. The study will also look at other health indicators, such as heart function and exercise capacity, to understand the overall impact of the treatment. Participants will be closely monitored throughout the study to ensure their safety and well-being.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The TREASURE trial is focused on studying <i>subclinical heart failure</i>, a condition where the heart shows early signs of not working properly, but without noticeable symptoms. The study will explore the effects of a medication called <i>Perindopril</i>, which is an angiotensin-converting-enzyme (ACE) inhibitor. This medication is commonly used to help manage heart conditions by relaxing blood vessels and reducing blood pressure. The trial will compare the effects of <i>Perindopril</i> to usual care, which means no medication, over a period of two years.</p>
<p>Participants in the study will be women who have early-stage heart failure or a condition known as diastolic dysfunction, where the heart has trouble relaxing and filling with blood. The study aims to see if using <i>Perindopril</i> can help reverse changes in the heart that occur in these conditions, bringing them closer to healthy values. The trial will also involve monitoring other aspects of health, such as blood pressure and quality of life, to understand the broader effects of the treatment.</p>
<p>During the study, participants will take <i>Perindopril</i> in the form of tablets, and their progress will be observed over the two-year period. The goal is to gather information on how effective the medication is in improving heart health and overall well-being in women with early signs of heart failure. This research could provide valuable insights into managing heart conditions before they become more serious.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This clinical trial is focused on studying the effects of a new treatment called <em>CDR132L</em> in patients who have experienced a <em>heart attack</em>, also known as a <em>myocardial infarction</em>. After a heart attack, some patients have a condition where the heart&#8217;s left side does not pump blood as well as it should, which is referred to as a reduced <em>left ventricular ejection fraction</em> (LVEF). This study aims to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of <em>CDR132L</em> in improving heart function in these patients.</p>
<p>The study involves three groups of participants. One group will receive a low dose of <em>CDR132L</em>, another group will receive a higher dose, and the third group will receive a placebo. The treatment is given through an <em>intravenous infusion</em>, which means it is administered directly into the bloodstream. Participants will receive three doses, each given 28 days apart. The study will monitor changes in heart function and overall health over a period of time to determine the impact of the treatment.</p>
<p>Throughout the study, participants will undergo various health assessments, including heart imaging tests and blood tests, to track their progress. The goal is to see if <em>CDR132L</em> can help improve heart function and reduce symptoms associated with heart failure after a heart attack. The study will also keep track of any side effects or health changes experienced by participants to ensure the treatment is safe.</p>
