1. A Repository of Atria Tissue for the Investigation of Atrial Pathophysiology in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to collect surgically removed atrial tissue for genetic, pathologic, metabolic, and molecular studies in patients with or without a history of atrial fibrillation.

2. Post Approval Study for Treatment of Drug-resistant Adult Primary FSGS Using the LIPOSORBER® LA-15 System

   Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the probable benefit and safety of the LIPOSORBER® LA-15 System for the treatment of adult and pediatric patients with nephrotic syndrome associated with primary focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, when the standard treatment options, including corticosteroid and/or calcineurin inhibitors treatments, have been unsuccessful or not well tolerated, and the patient has a GFR ≥ 45 ml/min/1.73m2, or the patient is post renal transplantation. Treatment for FSGS is considered unsuccessful if the patient is unresponsive to standard therapy (e.g., at least 8 weeks of corticosteroids) and fails to achieve complete or partial remission. A standard treatment is considered not well tolerated if the patient experiences severe side effects without providing an acceptable level of clinical benefit.

    

3. A Study to Evaluate Perceptions of Midline Sternotomy Scar in Children and Young Adults

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate how children and young adults perceive their midline sternotomy scars (in terms of appearance, associated symptoms, consciousness, satisfaction with appearance/symptoms, and impact on quality of life)? 

4. 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. 

5. 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’).  

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. 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.

8. 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.

    

9. A Study of Autoimmune Functions in Patients with Myocarditis

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this research is to study immune cells called T cells and monocytes (types of blood cells that fight infection and can also cause autoimmune disease) that may damage heart tissue during myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle). Cytokines (proteins that send signals between cells) found in the blood will be studied for their effects on blood immune cells to better understand how they can lead to heart failure during and after myocarditis.

10. A Study to Assess Frailty and Its Impact on Patients with Pulmonary Hypertension

    Rochester, Minn.

    The purpose of this study is to evaluate the prevalence and effect of frailty in patients referred to pulmonary hypertension (PH) clinic at our institution.
