Atrial fibrillation is an abnormal beating of the heart that can lead to stroke or heart failure. Structural heart diseases are conditions that affect the heart valves or heart muscle and can cause permanent heart damage if left untreated. Sometimes people have atrial fibrillation or structural heart disease and do not know it. The purpose of this study is to evaluate two devices that can predict who has or may develop atrial fibrillation or structural heart disease based on the results of an electrocardiogram.

This research seeks to improve the Midlife Black Women's Stress Reduction and Wellness Intervention (B-SWELL), a program designed to lower heart disease risk in midlife Black women. The B-SWELL leverages stress reduction to facilitate the adoption and adherence to healthier lifestyle behaviors. This research study will use choice to increase engagement and minimize the effect of social determinants of health on research participation among midlife Black women. A comparative clinical trial will be conducted. Midlife Black women (ages 45-64) who reside in the Greater Cincinnati area will be recruited for participation. Women are eligible if they self-identify as Black/ African American, are between the ages of 45-64, and are willing to commit to the requirements of the study (e.g., attend 8 weekly sessions and 4 phone interviews). Participants will be randomly placed (like the flip of a coin) into either the B-SWELL or WE group. Both the B-SWELL and WE groups are 8-week programs that focus on healthy lifestyle behaviors and heart disease awareness. Women will have the choice to participate in person or virtually. Survey phone interviews will be conducted at baseline, 8-, 12-, and 16-weeks. Data collected will provide information about adherence, healthy lifestyle behaviors, and cardiovascular health. Heart health will be measured using the American Heart Association's Life's Essential 8 metric. Outcome measures include heart disease awareness, Life's Essential 8 score, stress, self-efficacy, depressive symptoms, and symptoms.

A heart attack occurs when blood flow is disrupted to the heart and is related to both the blockage and flow restoration (reperfusion injury). An occlusion during a heart attack can be cleared (mostly via stents), but there are no methods to decrease reperfusion injury even though animal studies have found that "preconditioning" has powerful protective effects. Through the observation of Jewish men wearing tefillin the investigators have discovered a method of bringing preconditioning to patients at risk for heart attacks. This study will focus on women as the majority of people who wear tefillin (and have been studied) are men.

Acute kidney injury (AKI) following cardiac surgery for congenital heart defects (CHD) in children affects up to 60% of high risk-patients and is a major cause of both short- and long-term morbidity and mortality. Despite effort, to date, no successful therapeutic agent has gained widespread success in preventing this postoperative decline in renal function. Nitric oxide is an intricate regulator of acute inflammation and coagulation and is a potent vasodilator. The investigators hypothesize that nitric oxide, administered during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), may reduce the incidence of AKI.

Prospective, controlled, multicenter clinical investigation with four trial cohorts: Randomized, Non-repairable, Severe Mitral Annular Calcification (MAC) and Severe Mitral Annular Calcification Continued Access Protocol (MAC CAP). Subjects in the Randomized cohort will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to the trial device or to the MitraClip system. Subjects in the Non-repairable, Severe MAC, and Severe MAC CAP cohorts will receive the trial device. The objective of the Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Safety and Effectiveness of Using the Tendyne Transcatheter Mitral Valve System for the Treatment of Symptomatic Mitral Regurgitation (SUMMIT) is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Tendyne Transcatheter Mitral Valve System for the treatment of patients with symptomatic, moderate-to-severe or severe mitral regurgitation or for patients with symptomatic mitral valve disease due to severe mitral annular calcification. This randomized controlled trial will provide the opportunity to evaluate the safety and clinical benefits of the Tendyne Transcatheter Mitral Valve System compared to the MitraClip System in patients with symptomatic, moderate-to-severe or severe mitral regurgitation, within approved MitraClip indications. In addition, the safety and effectiveness of the Tendyne Transcatheter Mitral Valve System will be evaluated in patients with severe mitral annular calcification who are at prohibitive risk for mitral valve surgery. Patients who are not suitable for mitral valve surgery for reasons other than severe mitral annular calcification and are also not suitable for transcatheter repair with MitraClip, will be enrolled in the Non-repairable cohort. Subjects will be seen at screening, pre- and post-procedure, discharge, 30 days, 3 months, 6 months, and annually through 5 years.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Heart Disease clinical trials pay?

Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.

How do Heart Disease clinical trials work?

After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Heart Disease trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length for Heart Disease is 12 months.

How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?

Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.

What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?

The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.

Do I need to be insured to participate in a Heart Disease medical study ?

Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.

What are the newest Heart Disease clinical trials ?

Most recently, we added Health Coaching for Cardiovascular Disease, Pulse Field Ablation for Ventricular Tachycardia and Sternal Closure Techniques for Heart Disease to the Power online platform.
