-
Metformin to improve heart function after LVAD placement
This trial tests whether metformin helps heart function after LVAD implantation compared with placebo in adults with LVADs.
-
Preventive catheter ablation for heart failure patients with ventricular arrhythmias
This study is testing if a heart procedure called catheter ablation can help heart failure patients with irregular heartbeats live longer and feel better compared to standard treatment before they get a heart transplant.
-
Long-term follow-up on the prognostic value of BNP in heart failure patients with mechanical support
This study is trying to see if a blood test called BNP can help predict how well heart failure patients with mechanical support will do over the long term compared to those who have had a heart transplant or are on medication.
