1. A Study to Establish a Registry for the Pulmonary Hypertension Association

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The objectives of this study are to measure and improve quality of care (including assessing differences in adherence to evidence-based guidelines and establishing benchmarks for health outcomes); determine the clinical effectiveness, comparative effectiveness, and cost effectiveness of treatment approaches; understand risk factors for outcomes and regional/center differences; and facilitate funded clinical trials of new therapies and collaboration with the PAH community at large, including providers, patients, and their caregivers.

2. Study to Determine the Accuracy of a New Venous Air Plethysmograph in People with Normal, Incompetent, and Obstructed Venous Hemodynamics.

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to determine the accuracy (sensitivity, specificity, negative predictive value, positive predictive value) of a new venous air plethysmograph in people with normal, incompetent, and obstructed venous hemodynamics.

3. A Study to Evaluate DDP3 as a Predictor of Cardiogenic Shock in Patients Presenting with Cardiac Symptoms

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether DDP3 identifies patients at early risk of cardiogenic shock presenting with STEMI in order to benefit from more aggressive cardiology scrutiny.

    

    

4. A Study to Assess the Current FDA-approved AliveCor Kardia Device to Measure the QT/QTc in Patients Presenting to the Genetic Heart Rhythm Clinic

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility of using the current FDA-approved AliveCor Kardia device and their AliveCor Tripod device (FDA Approval pending) to measure the QT/QTc in patients presenting to the Genetic Heart Rhythm Clinic.

5. Rivet PVS Therapy in Group 2C

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, performance, and initial clinical efficacy of the Rivet PVS therapy in patients with symptomatic pulmonary hypertension.

6. A Study to Assess Measurements in Cardiomyopathy Patients Using Software for Multi-level Reconstruction of Three Dimensional Transesophageal Echocardiography (TEE) or Transthoracic Echocardiography (TTE) Images

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to utilize three dimensional (3D) transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) or 3D transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) to measure various mitral chordal, annular, and leaflet measurements and LV size to better understand the mechanism of regurgitation in patients with FMR.

7. A Study of the Impact of Cardiac Rehabilitation after Myectomy Procedure for Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to describe the clinical impact of cardiac rehabilitation in patients who have undergone myectomy for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.  Compare the clinical outcomes of patients who have attended cardiac rehab with those who have not attended after myectomy for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. 

8. Prediction of Chronic Pacemaker/ICD Threshold by Increased Pulse Width Duration Pacing

   Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   The aim of this study is to evaluate the relation of the acute pacing threshold (volts at ‘x’ pulse width) to the chronic pacing threshold of a pacemaker/ICD lead by studying the threshold during implantation at different pulse widths (eg. Twice of ‘x’, Three times of ‘x’).  

9. MediCool Protocol

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to assess termination of atrial fibrillation (AF) following delivery of cold treatment to the oblique sinus using an experimental cooling module.

    

10. Molecular Analysis of Blood for the Detection of Cardiovascular Pathogens

    Rochester, Minn.

    The purpose of this study is to test whether metagenomic shotgun sequencing can identify pathogens causing cardiovascular infections such as infective endocarditis or myocarditis.
