-
Whole-body bedside ultrasound in older adults after a fall
This study tests whether doing a full-body ultrasound at the bedside changes how doctors manage older adults (65+) who come to the emergency department after a fall.
-
Do medicines that lengthen the heart's QT interval cause serious heart problems in hospitalized adults?
This project will test whether commonly used hospital medicines that can prolong the heart's QT interval lead to serious cardiac events in adults admitted to Ontario hospitals.
-
AVEIR leadless pacemaker registry in the United Kingdom
This project will follow people in the UK who receive an AVEIR leadless pacemaker to see how well the device works and how safe it is over five years.
-
AI-based assessment of heart function using ECG wearable monitors
This study tests if a new AI tool using a wearable heart monitor can accurately check heart function in people with heart failure compared to traditional heart scans.
-
24-hour observation for patients with fainting episodes
This study is testing if keeping patients with fainting episodes under observation for 24 hours can help doctors decide when it's safe for them to go home instead of sending them home right away.
-
Evaluating the timing of syncope and asystole during tilt table testing
This study is testing if the timing of fainting during a tilt table test can help predict how well a pacemaker will work for people with reflex syncope.
-
Cardioneuroablation for treating bradycardia
This study is testing a new procedure called cardioneuroablation to see if it can help people with slow heart rates feel better without needing a permanent pacemaker.
-
Comparing cardioneuroablation and permanent pacing for treating bradycardia symptoms.
This study is testing if a new treatment called cardioneuroablation can help people with slow heart rates feel better and possibly stop using their pacemakers.
-
Comparing tilt tests and ECG recordings for diagnosing unexplained fainting in older adults
This study is testing whether doing a tilt test first helps doctors diagnose the cause of fainting better and faster in older adults compared to using a heart monitor first.
-
Using Ondansetron to Prevent Fainting Episodes
This study is testing if the medication ondansetron can help adults who frequently faint feel better and prevent future fainting spells.
-
Assessing a comprehensive approach to managing fainting and falls
This study is testing a new way to help people aged 40 and older who faint or fall for no clear reason to see if it can improve their diagnosis and reduce hospital visits.
-
Investigating how carbonated water affects blood pressure when standing
This study is testing if drinking carbonated water can help healthy people maintain their blood pressure better when standing up.
-
Remote cardiac monitoring for patients at risk of fainting after emergency department discharge
This study is testing if a special heart monitor can help find serious heart problems in adults who faint and are at risk after leaving the emergency room.
-
Implementing a risk score for patients with syncope in emergency departments
This study is testing a new scoring system in emergency departments to help doctors make better decisions for patients who faint, aiming to reduce unnecessary hospital stays.
-
Right-sided ablation to prevent fainting episodes
This study is testing if a new procedure that targets a specific area in the heart can help people with neurally mediated syncope (fainting) have fewer fainting episodes compared to those who receive a placebo.
-
A large biobank for acute and emergency medicine
This study is collecting health information and samples from patients with sudden illnesses in the Emergency Department to see if it can help improve treatments and predict how patients will do.
-
Observing patients with BIOTRONIK Implantable Cardiac Monitors
This study looks at how well the BIOMONITOR III and similar heart monitors work and keep patients safe over time.
-
Registry for implantable cardiac devices
This study is tracking how well pacemakers and defibrillators work for people with heart rhythm problems to see if they can improve patient care and outcomes.
-
Identifying genetic causes of heart issues in epilepsy patients
This study is trying to find out if certain genetic factors can help explain why some young adults with epilepsy are at risk for sudden death.
NIH-funded research (1)
Early-stage science funded by the US National Institutes of Health. Most of these projects don't enroll patients, but they show what is being worked on.
-
Improving care for patients with fainting episodes in emergency departments
This study is looking to improve how doctors decide whether patients who faint need to stay in the hospital for more tests or if they can safely go home, making sure everyone gets the right care when they visit the emergency room.
