Completed Trials

NCT01918215 — Cardiac Magnetic Resonance GUIDEd Management of Mild-moderate Left Ventricular Systolic Dysfunction.

Contemporary heart failure (HF) guidelines recommend insertion of a primary prevention implantable defibrillator (ICD) in patients with left ventricular ejection fraction less than 35% (LVEF < 35%) on maximally tolerated medical therapy. Nevertheless, there are a substantial number of HF patients who have LVEF>35% and hence do not qualify for ICD, who succumb to sudden cardiac death (SCD). At…

NCT06074887 — The Effect of Model-based Cardiac Rehabilitation on Self-care, Quality of Life, and Self-efficacy in Patients With Heart Failure

The main reason why heart failure (HF) is an important public health problem is that the incidence of HF is increasing and mortality rates remain unchanged despite the decline in the incidence of coronary artery disease. The ageing population and improved medical care services are the main factors supporting this increase. In the guidelines, education and rehabilitation are recommended for symp…
