Accuracy of a Cuffless Photoplethysmography (PPG) Chest-Patch Monitor for 24-hour Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM)

Blood Pressure · Heart Disease · Hypertension (HTN)

This study aims to validate the accuracy and reliability of blood pressure (BP) estimates obtained over 24 hours using a PPG-based chest-patch device compared to the gold standard ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) method using an upper arm cuff-based oscillometric BP device, in both hypertensive and normotensive individuals referred by their provider to undergo a 24-hours ABPM for clinical indication. The Awake/Asleep test, which is the primary test recommended for automated wearable cuffless BP devices that are cuff-calibrated (based on the 2023 European Society of Hypertension (ESH) recommendations for the validation of cuffless blood pressure measuring devices), will be conducted in this study. The secondary aim of the study is to assess the feasibility and convenience of the PPG-based device.

Effect of Dalcetrapib on CV Risk in a Genetically Defined Population With a Recent ACS

Acute Coronary Syndrome

This is a placebo-controlled, randomized, double-blind, parallel group, phase 3 multicenter study in subjects recently hospitalized for ACS and with the appropriate genetic profile. Subjects will provide informed consent before any study-specific procedures are performed. A separate informed consent will be allowed for an initial pre-screening genetic testing. Subjects meeting the AA genotype will then consent to the full study and confirmatory genetic testing as required. Subject enrollment may begin in the hospital and will continue following release from the hospital or may begin following release from hospital. Screening procedures may be performed at the time of the index ACS event or anytime thereafter, with the condition that randomization must occur within the mandated window (up to12 weeks after the index event). Subjects will be assessed based on their medical history. Those who are likely to qualify will undergo Genotype Assay testing to evaluate genetic determination for the presence of AA genotype.

Safety and Effectiveness of Left Bundle Branch Area Pacing Versus Conventional Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy in Heart Failure

Heart Failure - NYHA II - IV

This study will compare two different methods to pace the heart to treat heart failure including: 1. The current standard method of implanting a pacing lead in a vein on the surface of the left lower chamber of the heart (left ventricle) to deliver heart failure therapy. This method is called Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT). 2. The other method is using a lead implanted in the Left Bundle Branch Area (LBBA) of your heart. This method is called Left Bundle Branch Area Pacing or LBBAP. This lead is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to be implanted in this area of the heart, but not to provide heart failure treatment.

Potassium, Hydration, Cardiovascular, and Kidney Study (PHACKs)

Blood Pressure · Hydration · Vascular Disease Risk

Compared with White Adults, Non-Hispanic Black Adults are at an elevated risk of developing cardiovascular disease (CVD) and end stage chronic-kidney disease (CKD), two of the leading causes of death in the United States. Inadequate hydration status is associated with risk factors for both CVD and CKD. Prior data show that Black individuals are less likely to be adequately hydrated when compared with their White counterparts. Further, socioeconomic factors have been shown to influence hydration practices. Inadequate hydration influences certain hormones that regulate blood volume and impact blood pressure, but increasing potassium intake may provide some positive effects on normalizing these hormones and blood pressure. Black adults, in particular, are more likely to consume less potassium, have inadequate hydration, and tend to have higher blood pressure. As such, there is a critical need for effective strategies to address racial disparities in hydration and resultant health consequences; as well as establish the role of socioeconomic factors contributing to hydration. Therefore, the investigators are seeking to test the investigators' central hypothesis that water with a potassium supplement will improve hydration and cardiovascular health in young White adults (n = 20, 10 females, 10 males), and to a greater extent in young Black Adults (n = 20, 10 females, 10 males. The investigators will assess measures of blood pressure, arterial stiffness, and biomarkers in the urine and blood samples prior to and following a 14-day hydration intervention of 1) bottled water and 2) bottled water with potassium supplementation (2000mg potassium/day).

GENESIS: Genotype Guided - Natriuretic Peptides - Cardiometabolic Health Study

Cardiovascular Diseases · Natriuretic Peptides · Cardiometabolic Diseases

Natriuretic Peptides (NP) are hormones produced by the heart, and they have a wide range of favorable metabolic benefits. Lower levels of these hormones are associated with an increased likelihood of the development of diabetes and poor cardiometabolic health. Obese and Black individuals have \~30% lower levels of NP and are at a greater risk of developing cardiovascular (CV) events as compared to lean and White counterparts. Some people have common genetic variations that cause them to have \~20% lower NP levels. Similar to other low NP populations, these individuals with low NP genotype (i.e., carrying a common genetic variation called rs5068) are at a greater risk of developing cardiometabolic diseases. By understanding the NP response following the exercise challenge and the glucose challenge in individuals with genetically lower NP levels will help us understand how to improve cardiometabolic health in them.

Pivotal Study of the Velocity™ pAVF System

Chronic Kidney Disease · Hemodialysis Access · Arteriovenous Fistula

This study will evaluate the Velocity Percutaneous Arteriovenous Fistula (pAVF) System, a new minimally invasive method for creating dialysis access. People with kidney failure often require dialysis, which depends on having a reliable arteriovenous fistula (AVF). Traditionally, AVFs are created with surgery, but surgery can involve incisions, longer recovery, and sometimes additional procedures before the AVF can be used. The Velocity System is designed to create an AVF through a small puncture in the skin using a catheter-based approach, without open surgery. This pivotal study will assess how safe the procedure is and how well it works for patients who need dialysis. The study will take place at multiple centers in the United States and will enroll adults with kidney failure who are candidates for fistula creation. Participants will undergo the Velocity procedure and then be followed closely with exams, ultrasounds, and dialysis assessments for up to five years. Taking part is voluntary. Patients may benefit from a less invasive approach to dialysis access, but the main goal is to collect information that could improve future care for people with kidney failure.
