Heart Failure Clinical Trial
Remote Ischemic Preconditioning for Renal and Cardiac Protection in Congestive Heart Failure (RICH) Trial
Summary
This is a prospective, double-blind, sham-controlled, multicenter, randomized clinical trial is to study the effects of remote ischemic preconditioning on contrast-associated acute kidney injury, functional capacity, and major adverse kidney events in in patients with congestive heart failure undergoing cardiac catheterization and/or percutaneous coronary intervention.
Full Description
The RICH Trial is a prospective, multicenter, randomized clinical trial to determine the effect of remote ischemic preconditioning on contrast associated acute kidney injury, and to characterize the effect of remote ischemic preconditioning on brain natriuretic peptide, functional capacity at one month, and major adverse kidney events (persistent renal dysfunction, renal replacement therapy, and death) at three months in patients with congestive heart failure with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction undergoing coronary angiography and/or percutaneous coronary intervention.
