Apelin causes the heart pump with more force and also causes blood vessels to relax. Studies to date show that people with reduced pumping function of the heart have lower levels of apelin in the bloodstream compared to people with normal heart function. We have previously given apelin to healthy volunteers and people with reduced pumping function and this increases the heart's contraction. However, this has only been assessed over a short time period, around fifteen minutes, and we now want to know if this effect is seen over a longer period."}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': True, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\nHealthy volunteers:\n\n\\>18yrs\n\nHeart failure patients;\n\n* New York Heart Failure class II-IV\n* Ejection fractional \\<35% or fractional shortening \\<20% within previous 6months.\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\nAll subjects,\n\n* Females of child bearing age not on adequate contraception\n* Lack of informed consent\n* Age \\<18yrs\n* Current involvement in any other research study\n* Systolic BP \\>190 or \\<100\n* Malignant arrhythmias\n* Renal or hepatic failure\n* Haemodynamically significant aortic stenosis\n* Severe or significant co-morbidity\n* Pacemakers\n\nHealthy volunteers\n\n* Any regular medication\n* Previous history of any cardiovascular disease'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT01179061', 'acronym': 'INO-apelin', 'briefTitle': 'Investigating the Inotropic Potential of Apelin', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'University of Edinburgh'}, 'officialTitle': 'Investigating the Inotropic Potential of Apelin in Healthy Volunteers and Patients With Chronic Stable Heart Failure', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': '10/S1101/18'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'EXPERIMENTAL', 'label': 'Apelin infusion', 'description': '6 hour infusion of apelin peptide into circulation', 'interventionNames': ['Drug: Apelin']}, {'type': 'PLACEBO_COMPARATOR', 'label': 'Placebo', 'description': 'Infusion of saline into systemic circulation', 'interventionNames': ['Drug: Placebo']}], 'interventions': [{'name': 'Apelin', 'type': 'DRUG', 'description': 'Cardiac index will be assess in patients through the 6hr infusion, using thoracic cardiac bioimpedance.
