6 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
1. To identify biological sex differences in baseline RV function in CTEPH 2. To identify biological sex differences in recovery of RV function after PTE surgery in CTEPH 3. To determine if sex hormone levels relate to RV function at CTEPH diagnosis and during recovery after PTE.
This project evaluates right ventricle (RV) protective strategies after left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation.
In association with Edwards LifeSciences, the study will aim to develop an algorithm based on right heart (right atrial, right ventricular and pulmonary artery) waveforms for the early detection of RV dysfunction in cardiothoracic and liver surgery patients at UMMC. This is a prospective, non-interventional, observational study.
To capture observational data of the Abiomed Impella RP Flex in a real-world setting.
The hypothesis of this study is that temporary biventricular pacing will improve hemodynamic performance in patients with right ventricular dysfunction after open cardiac chamber cardiac surgery.
Three-dimensional echocardiography has become a gold standard to assess right ventricular (RV) function, and investigators plan to use 3D transesophageal echocardiography to assess RV function in 3 types of aortic valve replacement (AVR): surgical AVR (SAVR), mini-sternotomy AVR (mini AVR), and transcatheter AVR (TAVR).
