Heart Transplantation Clinical Trials

Transplantation is the therapy of choice for most patients with stage 5 chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end stage renal disease (ESRD). Kidney transplantation improves quality of life and overall survival rates. Cardiovascular disease is the most common complication and leading cause of death in the transplant population. In order ...

The objective of this investigation is to demonstrate non-inferiority in outcome of Custodiol-N against Custodiol in heart transplantation.

Objective: To evaluate the effects of an early-based cardiac rehabilitation program on the functional capacity, inspiratory muscular strength and clinical outcomes in hospitalized heart failure patients before and after heart transplantation. Method: 30 hospitalized heart failure patients awaiting cardiac transplantation will be selected and randomized in 2 groups: conventional group ...

12-lead ECG - Resting standard 12-lead digital ECG will be recorded. Extended analysis will be performed according to the latest recommendations. Holter ECG - 24 hour Holter ECG will be recorded. Extended Holter ECG analysis will be performed. Life quality questionnaire, patient history - Detailed questionnaire about personal and family ...

In spite of major medical advances in heart transplant patients, psychiatric comorbidity remains very high in pre-and post-transplant phases. Anxiety and depression are especially frequent. They impact significantly morbidity and mortality. Especially because they are associated with poor therapeutic adherence and risks of infection and rejection. The inability to make ...

Heart transplantation is the only available long-term treatment option for patients with terminal heart failure. Despite considerable progress in immunosuppressive regimens, allograft rejection remains a major cause of graft loss. Majority of cardiac allograft rejection are asymptomatic. Only severe rejection goes along with cardiac dysfunction. This clinical latency makes the ...

It will be a blinded randomized clinical trial (patient, evaluator and statistician), controlled and endowed with secrecy of allocation, to be performed in the Cardiopulmonary Physiotherapy Laboratory of the Physiotherapy Department of the Federal University of Pernambuco. Renal transplant recipients will be recruited at the Nephrology outpatient clinic of the ...

Heart transplantation is a viable treatment option for select patients with end-stage heart failure, with 1-year survival rates for heart transplantation approximating 85%. Of those who survive the first year, >90% are alive at 5 years. In the early post-transplant period, rejection of the donor heart due to activation of ...

The investigators propose a simple and non-invasive method to monitor heart transplant patients with MRI. Its diagnostic and prognostic values have already been assessed in two monocentric studies. Other monocentric studies based on related methods have confirmed the investigators findings. These studies are insufficient to allow a large diffusion of ...

Soluble protein sST2 has recently become a prognostic biomarker in the context of acute myocardial infarction and chronic heart failure, and recent studies also show that sST2 is involved in acute rejection of the cardiac graft in recipients. Experimental studies confirm that the ST2 / IL-33 pathway is involved in ...
