Left Bundle Branch Pacing as Initial Therapy in Patients With Non-ischemic Heart Failure and Left Bundle Branch Block (LIT-HF Study)
Summary: The present study will recruit 50 symptomatic non-ischemic cardiomyopathy (NICM) patients with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) below 35% and complete left bundle branch block (CLBBB), who have not received complete guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT). Each patient was randomized to 2 groups, GDMT or left bundle branch pacing combined with GDMT (LBBP+GDMT) as initial therapy and was...
Effect Of Atenolol Versus Ivabradine On Heart Rate Variability In Treatment Resistant Schizophrenia Patients On Clozapine With Tachycardia: A Randomized Control Trial.
Summary: Clozapine is the only drug approved for Treatment Resistant Schizophrenia. However, it has been associated with many adverse drug reactions including agranulocytosis, myocarditis, sialorrhea, constipation, orthostasis, tachycardia. There are many factors that have impacted the use of clozapine in TRS patients including physician hesitation, patient denial, stopping of drug due to Adverse drug reac...
A Multicenter, Prospective, Randomized, Placebo-controlled, Double-blind, Multi-arm, Multi-stage Clinical Trial of Ivabradine for Heart Rate Control In Septic Shock
Summary: Septic shock is a major health problem, with several million cases annually worldwide and a mortality approaching 45%. Tachycardia is associated with excess mortality during septic shock. This pejorative effect could be related to the increase in cardiac metabolic demand, impaired cardiac diastolic function, and/or poorer tolerance of administered exogenous catecholamines. Recent studies suggest t...
Compression Garments in the Community With POTS
Summary: Compression Garments are a commonly prescribed treatment in Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS). The effectiveness of a proof-of-concept compression garment has been demonstrated in an acute laboratory setting. It is not known if commercially available compression garments that participants wear in their every day lives are effective at improving heart rate and reducing symptoms in PO...
A Randomized Crossover Study of Propranolol Versus Ivabradine in Postural Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS)
Summary: 1.0 BACKGROUND Postural tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is a disorder of chronic orthostatic intolerance characterized by symptoms of palpitations, lightheadedness, chest discomfort, shortness of breath, blurred vision, and mental clouding. These symptoms occur during standing and are associated with a marked increase in heart rate (HR) in the absence of hypotension, which typically resolve when sitti...
The Novel Use of Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation in Patients With Angina and Non-Obstructive Coronary Arteries: a Pilot Study
Summary: In patients with angina pectoris undergoing a coronary angiography (CAG) up to 40% do not have obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD). The majority of patients with no obstructive CAD are women with a frequency of up to 70% compared to 50% in men. These patients are diagnosed as having angina and non-obstructive coronary arteries (ANOCA). There are two endotypes of ANOCA. The first endotype is ...
Effect of Ivabradine on Levcromakalim-Induced Symptoms in Individuals With Migraine Without Aura: A Randomized Double-Blind Two-Way Crossover Study
Summary: This study aims to explore the effect of Ivabradine on Levcromakalim-induced migraine in individuals with migraine without aura.
Value of Heart Rate Lowering Therapy in Acute Myocarditis
Summary: To study the value of heart rate lowering therapy pharmacological rest on the short term in cases of myocarditis without LV dysfunction.
Efficacy of Carvedilol + Ivabradine vs Carvedilol Alone for Left Ventricular Diastolic Dysfunction in Chronic Liver Disease Patients and Its' Impact on Morbidity and Mortality; a Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial.
Summary: A total of 130 patients with liver cirrhosis who fulfill the criteria of the study, and who have been found to have left ventricular diastolic dysfunction on a screening 2D echocardiography, will then be randomized by Block randomization technique, to two arms in a ratio 1:1(Group A) will receive carvedilol+ Ivabradine targeted therapy for heart rate reduction while Group B will receive Carvedilol...
Effect of Heart Rate Control With Ivabradine on Hemodynamic in Patients With Sepsis: a Prospective, Multicenter, Randomized Controlled Trial
Summary: Sepsis, a life-threatening syndrome, is often accompanied by tachycardia in spite of adequate volume resuscitation to correct hypovolemia and vasopressor medication to correct hypotension. Recently, relevant studies have shown that sustained tachycardia in sepsis was also related to high mortality, and appropriate control of heart rate could improve prognosis. Ivabradine reduces heart rate directl...
Comparative Cohort Study of Post-acute COVID-19 Infection With a Nested, Randomized Controlled Trial of Ivabradine for Those With Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome.
Summary: The purpose of the study is three-fold. The primary aim is to identify the proportion of Long-Haul COVID (LHC) and non-LHC volunteers with relevant symptoms actually have postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS). The second is to determine benefit of ivabradine treatment. Ivabradine is a drug approved to treat tachycardia in persons with heart failure. The third is to characterize risk fac...
