• Aspirin in Subclinical Coronary Disease: A Pilot Randomized Trial

  This study tests whether giving low-dose aspirin or not affects people with subclinical coronary artery disease who have not yet had a heart attack or procedure.

  Recruiting Phase 3 Montreal Heart Institute · Montreal, Quebec and 2 other locations · NCT07524335

• Aspirin-free ticagrelor treatment for heart attack patients managed without revascularization

  This trial will test whether taking ticagrelor alone (no aspirin) lowers bleeding without increasing heart problems in adults who had a heart attack and were treated medically without revascularization.

  Recruiting Phase 3 Montreal Heart Institute · Montreal, Quebec · NCT07257198

• Using AI to improve planning for transcatheter heart valve procedures

  This project uses AI to analyze CT and echo images to see if it can better predict outcomes for people who had transcatheter aortic, mitral, or tricuspid valve procedures.

  Recruiting at 15 sites Montreal Heart Institute · New York, New York and 14 other locations · NCT07213531

• Registry and biobank of non-ischemic cardiomyopathy with linked heart imaging

  This project will collect clinical data, heart images, ECGs, and blood samples from people with non-ischemic cardiomyopathy and at-risk relatives to try to build and test tools that predict arrhythmia risk and guide family screening.

  Recruiting Montreal Heart Institute · Montreal, Quebec · NCT07110818

• Colchicine to restore microvascular function in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction

  This study tests whether taking colchicine daily can improve heart blood flow in people with heart failure and a preserved ejection fraction compared to a placebo.

  Recruiting Phase 2 Montreal Heart Institute · Montreal, Quebec · NCT06217120

• Assessing the effects of enteric-coated aspirin in patients with type 2 diabetes

  This study is testing different doses of enteric-coated aspirin to see which one works best for people with type 2 diabetes who don’t respond well to a standard dose.

  Recruiting Phase 1 Montreal Heart Institute · Montreal, Quebec · NCT05702463

• Using colchicine and aspirin to improve heart health in patients with type 2 diabetes

  This study is testing if colchicine and aspirin can help improve heart health in older adults with type 2 diabetes who are at high risk for heart problems.

  Recruiting at 39 sites Phase 3 Montreal Heart Institute · Bentley, Western Australia and 38 other locations · NCT05633810

• Inhaled milrinone and epoprostenol before heart surgery to ease weaning from bypass

  This trial tests whether inhaled milrinone and epoprostenol given before starting cardiopulmonary bypass can help people with right heart trouble during cardiac surgery.

  Recruiting Phase 2 Montreal Heart Institute · Montreal, Quebec · NCT05450328

• Heat therapy at home for managing type 2 diabetes

  This study is testing if heat therapy at home can help people with type 2 diabetes improve their heart and metabolic health.

  Recruiting Montreal Heart Institute · Montreal, Quebec · NCT05269589

• Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Registry, Biobank, and Imaging Data Repository

  This project tests whether collecting genetic, imaging, and clinical data from people with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy can help predict outcomes and better understand the disease.

  Recruiting at 15 sites Montreal Heart Institute · Edmonton, Alberta and 16 other locations · NCT05100420

• Effects of exercise and cognitive training on brain health in heart failure patients

  This study is testing if combining exercise with brain training can help improve thinking skills and brain health in older adults with chronic heart failure.

  Recruiting Montreal Heart Institute · Montreal, Quebec · NCT04970888

• New hydration strategy to prevent kidney injury during heart procedures

  This study is testing a new personalized hydration method to see if it can help prevent kidney injury in people having heart procedures like angiograms.

  Recruiting Montreal Heart Institute · Montreal, Quebec · NCT04936607

• Evaluating the role of FDG-PET/CT in managing infective endocarditis

  This study is testing whether FDG-PET/CT imaging can help doctors make better treatment decisions for adults suspected of having infective endocarditis.

  Recruiting at 2 sites Montreal Heart Institute · Montreal, Quebec and 5 other locations · NCT04792281

• Virtual Heart Failure Clinic for Patient Self-Management

  This study is testing if a virtual Heart Failure Clinic using a special sensor to monitor heart health can help people manage their condition better than regular care.

  Recruiting Montreal Heart Institute · Montreal, Quebec · NCT04441203

• Comparing monitoring strategies for patients with new left bundle branch block after heart valve surgery

  This study is testing if a new monitoring method can help people who develop a heart condition after valve surgery feel better and avoid serious problems like fainting or hospitalization.

  Recruiting at 8 sites Montreal Heart Institute · Edmonton, Alberta and 9 other locations · NCT03303612

• Understanding heart function and biomarkers in aortic stenosis patients

  This study is trying to see how heart function, certain blood markers, and overall health can help predict how well patients with aortic stenosis do after getting their heart valve replaced.

  Recruiting Montreal Heart Institute · Montreal, Quebec · NCT02856620

NIH-funded research (2)

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.

• Genetic study of Crohn's disease across populations and treatments

  Researchers are studying how genetic factors and biological markers influence Crohn’s disease across diverse populations and how patients respond to targeted therapies.

  NIH research Montreal Heart Institute · Montreal, Canada · NIH-11371160

• Understanding Crohn's Disease Genetics and Treatment Response

  This research brings together experts from Montreal and Boston to learn more about the genetic factors that cause Crohn's disease and how different patients respond to treatments.
