3 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The primary purpose of this study is to determine whether eplerenone has a beneficial effect on improving exercise ability in patients with diastolic heart failure.
* Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction (HFpEF) is a common form of heart failure * Standard treatment for heart failure, show less than ideal results in HFpEF * Evidence of systemic inflammation is common in all forms of heart failure, including HFpEF * The main hypothesis of this study is that systemic inflammation contributes to heart failure symptoms and exercise limitations in patients with HFpEF * The main objective is to treat patients with HFpEF and evidence of systemic inflammation with an anti-inflammatory drug targeting Interleukin-1 (or placebo) to determine effects on cardiovascular function
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of inhaled anesthetic drugs upon diastolic heart function (heart suction and filling performance) in patients who are undergoing coronary bypass surgery.
