The goal of this clinical trial is to treat both hypertension and obesity in adults using a food is medicine framework. Participants will be randomized 1:1 to FIM+DASH or usual-care control. The 24-week trial includes a 12-week FIM+DASH intervention followed by a 12-week maintenance period and leverages existing partnerships with community-based organizations for home food delivery and culinary skill-skill building. The main questions it aims to answer are: (1) What is the effect of FIM+DASH vs. usual care control on blood pressure? (2) What is the effect of FIM+DASH vs. usual care control on DASH diet adherence (diet quality), body weight, and waist circumference? (3) How to identify factors associated with the sustainability and scalability of FIM+DASH in real-world settings?

Atrial fibrillation (AF) and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) are very common conditions that often occur together and result in worsening symptoms and reduced quality of life (QoL). Limitations being able to participate in activities of daily living is a primary complaint for AF-HFpEF patients, yet effective strategies to address this issue remain limited. While exercise interventions targeting aerobic training (AT) are recommended for patients with AF and HFpEF, unique challenges exist in this patient population who tend to be older. Specifically, many older patients with AF and HFpEF have muscle weakness, sarcopenia and frailty, that can make aerobic-focused exercise difficult and less tolerable. This study proposes that starting with progressive resistance training (PRT) before aerobic exercise may overcome these issues by improving muscle strength, making AT more manageable, and leading to better health outcomes. The goal of this study is to assess whether a sequential exercise program, named 'PREACTIVE' improves how people feel, decrease the amount of symptoms, and their ability to participate in exercise and activities. This study will specifically test a sequenced exercise approach of resistance training followed by aerobic exercise to improve symptoms, and quality of life in AF-HFpEF.

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate an investigational ultralow dose positron emission tomography (PET) imaging technique for known or suspected coronary artery disease (for detecting myocardial ischemia or infarction) detection and monitoring. The main question it aims to answer is: Can the investigators optimize the timing, scan duration, and image reconstruction to reduce the radiation dose 10-100 fold of the current clinical standard? Participants will be injected with a radioactive tracer called Fluorine-18 (18F)-flurpiridaz and be imaged on a new type of high sensitivity PET scanner for up to 3 hours

This study is testing two different ways of treating atrial fibrillation (AF) in people who also have heart failure with mildly reduced or preserved heart function. Patients will randomly be assigned to either rhythm control using catheter ablation or rate control using medicines. The pilot phase will determine if a larger study can be successfully carried out to see which approach better improves survival, reduces hospitalizations, and enhances quality of life.

The goal of this clinical trial study is to test whether a mathematical calculation, using the patient's gender, weight and kidney function, can better predict a patient's heparin goal dose than a flat number of units per patient weight can. Participants will have the first dose of heparin infusion calculated, after which if adjustments are needed, the Hospital's prebuilt table for results driven dosing for this purpose is used. The researchers will compare the time it takes for the participants to get to the desired goal using the patient's information for calculation versus patients in the past who received the medication using the flat rate. The hypothesis is that the patients with enhanced personal data, gender, weight and kidney function, included for the initial dose, will get to their goal lab value sooner and with less chance of delay or overshooting the goal. A quicker time to goal lab value is beneficial to patients in many ways, including earlier treatment of the clot or coronary issue that the patient is experiencing.

The goal of this randomized open-label clinical trial is to evaluate two different strategies for the treatment of recurrent atrial fibrillation (AF) after AF ablation. Patients who have symptomatic, drug-refractory recurrence of AF will be randomized to either a redo AF ablation vs conduction system pacing with AV node ablation. Patients will need to have undergone at least 1 prior AF ablation to be considered eligible for the study. The current trial is a vanguard study of 16 patients and will determine the feasibility of enrolment, compare changes in quality of life, and inform the design of the definitive REDO AF trial.

This study aims to validate the accuracy and reliability of blood pressure (BP) estimates obtained over 24 hours using a PPG-based chest-patch device compared to the gold standard ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) method using an upper arm cuff-based oscillometric BP device, in both hypertensive and normotensive individuals referred by their provider to undergo a 24-hours ABPM for clinical indication. The Awake/Asleep test, which is the primary test recommended for automated wearable cuffless BP devices that are cuff-calibrated (based on the 2023 European Society of Hypertension (ESH) recommendations for the validation of cuffless blood pressure measuring devices), will be conducted in this study. The secondary aim of the study is to assess the feasibility and convenience of the PPG-based device.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety and effectiveness of the VARIPULSE catheter system for pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) in the treatment of participants with symptomatic paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF).

Whereas the available evidence mostly supports chronic sleep disruption as a risk factor for incident AF, less is known about the near-term risk of a discrete atrial fibrillation (AF) episode following a night of disrupted or poor-quality sleep. This prospective, randomized, case-crossover study aims to examine the acute effects of sleep disruption on clinically relevant cardiac ectopy pertinent to AF.

The goal of this clinical trial is to study whether having a clinical decision support (CDS) tool available to clinician use will more effectively lower BP 4 weeks after an outpatient visit compared with usual care. The main objective is to assess the impact of the CDS tool, that is embedded with the electronic medical record (EMR), that is available during outpatient clinical encounters, on blood pressure (BP) changes among participants with uncontrolled hypertension. Participants will: Visit the clinic 4 weeks, after their initial clinician visit, for a BP check.

A randomized, placebo-controlled, participant-and investigator-blinded study to evaluate the efficacy in reducing atrial fibrillation burden as well as the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of PKN605 in participants with atrial fibrillation

This study is researching experimental drugs called REGN7508 and REGN9933. The study is focused on participants who have atrial fibrillation, which means that the heart beats too fast and unevenly. REGN7508 and REGN9933 are designed to help stop blood clots forming in patients with atrial fibrillation. The aim of the study is to see how well REGN7508 and REGN9933 work in patients that get medicine for their atrial fibrillation. The bleeding effects of REGN7508 and REGN9933 will be compared to another medicine (apixaban), which is available on the market to treat and prevent formation of blood clots. The study is looking at several other research questions, including: * What side effects may happen from taking REGN7508 or REGN9933 * How well do the study drugs reduce the risk of having a stroke * How much of REGN7508 or REGN9933 is in the blood at different times * Whether the body makes antibodies against REGN7508 or REGN9933 (which could make the drugs less effective or could lead to side effects)
