This federal Project Grant award of $792,235 from the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research) supports the development and execution of a randomized clinical trial to evaluate the effectiveness of a commercially available fitness mHealth app (Rehabbing with Peloton) for improving physical activity among individuals recovering from transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). The key products and services to be delivered under this grant include:...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) provides $117,000 to conduct secondary analysis of 3D echocardiography images to compute 3D surface strain of the right ventricle. The goal is to develop computational methods that enable routine spatial and temporal examination of 3D strains using machine learning, and compare these novel 3D strain parameters to disease outcomes in...
This Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837), is funding a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the effectiveness of gamification and social incentives in increasing adherence to physical activity recommendations among patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFPEF). The 5-year, $809,029 award will support a 3-arm trial to assess whether interventions using...
This Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), under CFDA Program 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research, provides $402,117 to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The award will support the adaptation and pilot testing of a family-centered intervention, SUCCEED-ICU, designed to improve long-term outcomes for survivors of acute respiratory failure. The project aims to: 1) adapt the existing SUCCEED intervention for use in acute respiratory...
This $2,130,422 Project Grant awarded by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) will fund a comprehensive evaluation of lean muscle mass in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). The research aims to: 1) characterize the endophenotype and metabolomic signature of PAH patients with low lean mass, 2) understand the role of epicardial adipose tissue, 3) assess the impact of low lean mass on patient...
This Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 - Cardiovascular Diseases Research) provides $117,750 to the Ann & Robert H Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago to develop and validate the use of wireless biosensors and a portable capnograph device for remote patient monitoring of children on long-term invasive home mechanical ventilation. The project aims to address limitations of the hospital's current hand-collected vital sign data approach by...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research) is focused on testing the effectiveness and implementation of a home-based exercise intervention for individuals with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD). The primary goal is to determine if the Exercise-ICD (E-ICD) intervention can increase physical activity and improve related health outcomes in this patient population. The $728,781 award to the...
This Project Grant award of $1,331,984.00 from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 - Cardiovascular Diseases Research) supports research to develop new lung quantitative ultrasound (LQUS) metrics for monitoring pulmonary edema due to heart failure and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. The primary awardee, North Carolina State University, will work to mitigate chest-wall effects, optimize data acquisition, and apply LQUS methods in human patients with heart failure and...

This federal Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 - Cardiovascular Diseases Research) will provide $374,592 to the University of Rochester to support Dr. Lachant's research on an electronically-delivered rehabilitation program for patients hospitalized with acute pulmonary embolism. The goal is to evaluate whether a prescriptive exercise program can reduce post-pulmonary embolism syndrome by addressing deconditioning and anxiety. The study will utilize wearable technology to monitor heart rate and activity, and aims to determine optimal rehabilitation parameters and identify any demographic factors associated with outcomes or participation. Completion of this 4-year award will help Dr. Lachant become an independent researcher conducting decentralized clinical trials incorporating wearable devices to improve pulmonary vascular disease management.
