The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the Reducer system for treatment of patients with refractory angina pectoris treated with maximally tolerated guideline-directed medical therapy who demonstrate objective evidence of reversible myocardial ischemia in the distribution of the left coronary artery and who are deemed unsuitable for revascularization.

The primary objective of the study is to assess the clinical effectiveness of selatogrel when self-administered upon occurrence of symptoms suggestive of an acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in subjects at risk of having a recurrent AMI.

The secondary objective is to assess the safety of self-administration of selatogrel.

The purpose of the Cardiovascular Outcomes Assessment of the MitraClip Percutaneous Therapy for Heart Failure Patients with Functional Mitral Regurgitation (COAPT) Trial is to confirm the safety and effectiveness of the MitraClip System for the treatment of moderate-to-severe or severe functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) in Symptomatic Heart Failure Subjects who are treated per standard of care and who have been determined by the site's local heart team as not appropriate for mitral valve surgery. This randomized controlled trial will provide the opportunity to strengthen or add labeling claims regarding safety and clinical benefits of the MitraClip System for symptomatic heart failure patients with moderate-to-severe or severe functional mitral regurgitation.

Approximately 610 subjects will be randomized at up to 100 investigational sites with approximately 305 subjects targeted to receive the study device.

As part of the COAPT trial, a subset of patients will be registered in the cardiopulmonary exercise (CPX) sub-study. The objective of this sub-study is to evaluate the exercise responses in a sub-cohort of COAPT subjects who receive MitraClip device (Device group) compared to the Control group who do not receive MitraClip device. (Note: the CPX Sub-study subjects will contribute to the analyses of the COAPT primary and secondary endpoints)

The primary hypothesis is that additional LDL-C lowering with Evolocumab (AMG 145) when used in addition to other treatment for dyslipidemia is well tolerated and decreases the risk of cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, hospitalization for unstable angina, stroke, or coronary revascularization in subjects with clinically evident cardiovascular disease.

The primary purpose of this trial is to determine the safety of XC001 (AdVEGFXC1) in patients who suffer from angina caused by coronary artery disease and have no other treatment options. Subjects in this study will receive one of four intramyocardial doses of XC001 that expresses human vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) which induces therapeutic angiogenesis (revascularization).

This is a double-blind, sham-controlled clinical study to evaluate the safety and feasibility of AMI MultiStem therapy in subjects who have had a heart attack (Non-ST elevation MI).

This is a phase 3, multicenter, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of CSL112 on reducing the risk of major adverse CV events [MACE - cardiovascular (CV) death, myocardial infarction (MI), and stroke] in subjects with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) diagnosed with either ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) or non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), including those managed with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or medically managed.

The main objective of this study is to compare a dual antithrombotic therapy (DAT) regimen of 110mg dabigatran etexilate b.i.d. plus clopidogrel,or ticagrelor 110mg dabigatran etexilate dual antithrombotic therapy (DE-DAT), and 150mg dabigatran etexilate b.i.d. plus clopidogrel or ticagrelor (150mg DE-DAT) with a triple antithrombotic therapy (TAT) combination of warfarin plus clopidogrel or ticagrelor plus ASA ≤ 100mg q.d. (warfarin-TAT) in patients with atrial fibrillation that undergo a percutaneous coronary intervention with stenting (elective or due to an acute coronary syndrome).

The study aims to show non-inferiority of both doses of DE-DAT when compared to Warfarin-TAT in efficacy and safety. Efficacy will be determined by comparing a composite death and thrombotic event rate of death, myocardial infarction, stroke and systemic embolism. In addition, comparisons will be made of the rates of clinically relevant bleeding, assessed using the modified International Society of Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH) major classification.

The purpose of the study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of targeted delivery of Auto-CD34+ stem cells into heart muscle tissue to increase exercise time and decrease anginal symptoms in patients who have angina resistant to treatment and chronic heart muscle death.

The purpose of this study is to determine if apixaban given for 6 months is safer than Vitamin K Antagonist (VKA) given for 6 months in terms of major bleeding and non-major bleeding in patients with an irregular heart beat (atrial fibrillation) and a recent heart attack or in atrial fibrillation patients undergoing a procedure to open up a blood vessel in the heart (percutaneous coronary intervention). All patients would also be taking a class of medicines called P2Y12 inhibitors (such as clopidogrel). All patients would be treated for an intended 6 months.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO) closure for migraine headache relief using the GORE® CARDIOFORM Septal Occluder after a trial of oral anticoagulation therapy vs. placebo for a 6 week period.

This study is designed to assess the efficacy, safety and tolerability of ixmyelocel-T compared to placebo (vehicle control) when administered via transendocardial catheter-based injections to patients with end stage heart failure due to IDCM, who have no reasonable revascularization options (either surgical or percutaneous interventional) likely to provide clinical benefit.

The purpose of this study is to compare treatment with the CardiAMP cell therapy to a sham treatment. A roll-in phase with a maximum of 10 subjects will precede the randomised phase.

The purpose of this study is to develop a wellness program to improve the wellbeing of staff and trainees.
