The purpose of this study is to compare standard treatment against a newly approved medication for patients presenting to the emergency department with a heart condition called atrial fibrillation. A sub-study will also look at a new consenting process in the emergency department and the experience of patients with this consent process.
The purpose of this study is to understand the ability of genetic testing to identify familial hypercholesterolemia among patients with acute cardiac event in hospital settings and to investigate the impact of genetic diagnosis on physician behaviour, medication use and decreasing cholesterol to an acceptable level.
The purpose of this study is to investigate if and how retinal blood vessels change after a spinal cord injury (SCI) and the associations of these changes with cardiovascular diseases. Using images of retinal blood vessels, we will develop a deep learning-based screening tool for autonomic dysreflexia, a cardiovascular complication unique to SCI.
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether Electrical Vestibular Stimulation (EVS) can lessen orthostatic hypotension in Parkinson’s disease patients. We aim to determine if individual precision-designed EVS stimulus can be optimized for improvements in hypotension.
The purpose of this study it to examine the safety and efficacy of gene-modified T cell therapy in patients who have previously received the treatment.
The purpose of the study is to find the best technique and tools for gaining access to left and right heart arteries using x-rays that show blood flow, in patients who are having a specific Medtronic heart valve inserted.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effect of in-hospital initiation of dapagliflozin versus placebo on the clinical outcome of cardiovascular death or worsening heart failure.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of CC-97540 CAR-T cell treatment for subjects with relapsed or refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
The purpose of the study is to compare differences in blood flow and valve pressures by two different methods in patients who are having transcatheter aortic valve replacement.
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of the drugs ponatinib versus imatinib, administered as first-line therapy in combination with reduced-intensity chemotherapy, in participants with newly diagnosed Ph+ ALL, as measured by the minimal residual disease (MRD)-negative complete remission (CR) at the end of induction.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety and efficacy of the drug MBG453 as treatment for newly diagnosed Acute Myeloid Leukemia patients when used in combination with other anti-cancer treatments.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether treatment with Blinatumomab is effective in reducing the risk of acute lymphoblastic leukemia returning in patients with residual cancer cells remaining in the body after stem cell transplant.
Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is the most frequent genetic lipoprotein disorder associated with premature coronary artery disease. The goal of this initiative is to create a registry of subjects with FH across Canada. The registry will help clinicians and researchers to determine the burden of disease and the long-term effects of treatment.
Research study which tests the safety and effectiveness of a new vascular closure device to close the femoral access puncture that is created in patients who require this form of access in order to perform the planned procedure. The MANTA device is expected to seal the femoral access puncture in less than 1 minute. This may result in less blood loss and a shorter time to walking compared to alternative closure means. Use of the MANTA device in this study is experimental. All other parts of the procedure involve standard medical care
Health behaviors like physical activity and nutritious eating habits significantly reduce initial stroke risk and help prevent strokes from reoccurring. Yet, most individuals struggle to meet physical activity and nutrition recommendations. Health and health behaviors are typically linked in couples, and spouses occupy a unique position to facilitate each other’s physical activity and healthy nutrition, thereby reducing stroke risk for everyone involved.
The purpose of this study is to employ standardized imaging protocols in women and men with MINOCA (MI with Non Obstructive Coronary Arteries) to determine the underlying diagnosis in each participant. Participants will be followed for recurrent clinical events, every six months, for a maximum of 10 years.
The AMPLATZER LAA Occluder is a transcatheter, self-expanding nitinol device intended for use in preventing thrombus embolization from the LAA. The purpose of this study is to compile real world outcome data on the use of AMPLATZER LAA Occluder in subjects with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF)
We hope to understand a heart failure patient's journey during the transition of care from the emergency department or hospital to home. We also want to explore how technology, like home health monitoring, can better support patients' recovery during this time.
The purpose of study is to test whether rivaroxaban added to standard of care treatment, when compared to placebo, has the potential to reduce the incidence of the clinical events related to the clots and complications of the heart and brain (CV death, MI, or stroke) or the legs (acute limb ischemia or major amputation) in patients who had undergone recent procedure(s) to improve the blood flow of their legs.
A placebo-controlled, randomized, double-blind, parallel group, phase III 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. Subject enrollment may begin in the hospital and will continue following release from the 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 (4-12 weeks after the index event).
