IRB No. 07-252-2: Circulating Markers for Ischemic Heart Failure

The purpose of this research is to determine if two proteins in the blood are increased during acute myocardial infarction and whether their levels are higher in those who develop heart failure than those who do not. These two proteins are produced and potentially released when the heart muscle is damaged. They may then be released into the blood and be detected by standard method in the research laboratory. At this time, detection of an increase in these proteins in the blood is not know to be associated with any disease or myocardial infarction.

IRB No. 18-170-1 (Dr. Sara Tabtabai, PI): Evaluation of a Guideline Directed Medication Titration (GDMT) Program in Patients with Heart Failure with Reduced Ejection Fraction

A patient newly diagnosed with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction requires close follow up for titration of medications as blood pressure, electrolytes and symptoms permit. Although the benefits of guideline directed medical therapy (GDMT) have been well studied, there remains a significant gap in the receipt of GDMT in the ambulatory and hospitalized setting. As such, we seek to assess the utility of focused GDMT clinic to reduce this gap. We hypothesize that implementation of a GDMT focused clinic will reduce the gap, improve medication compliance and in turn, improve the mean ejection fraction, and reduce hospitalization rates.
