This database was last updated in December 2019 and should only be used as a historical snapshot. There may be new or amended records not reflected here.
Conflict of Interest
Institutions must file significant disclosures to the National Institutes of Health if they determine financial relationships could affect the design, conduct or reporting of the NIH-funded research. The NIH provided us with their entire financial conflict of interest database, with filings from 2012 through 2019.

CardioWise, LLC.
Payment for services (e.g., consulting fees, honoraria, paid authorship)
Based on Washington University’s Research COI Policy and the Procedures for Determining and Managing Research Financial Conflicts of Interests, Washington University determined Dr.Pasque’s personal financial relationship with CardioWise, LLC., related to the above referenced research creates a financial conflict of interest due to the following reasons:
a.CardioWise licenses the intellectual property being utilized and evaluated in the research.
b.Because Dr. Pasque own equity in CardioWise and will earn royalties from the sale and distribution of the licensed technology, he could directly benefit, should the company’s equity value increase as a result of the study.
c.Dr. Pasque’s roles as described above could directly affect the research
REGIONAL VENTRICULAR STRAIN METRICS TO PREDICT NEW-ONSET HEART FAILURE COURSE
In the clinical management of critically ill new-onset heart failure patients, the inability to immediately differentiate those who will respond to medical therapy from those who will not results in the inappropriate application of high-risk heart failure surgery in patients who do not need it, while simultaneously denying surgery to those who have the most to benefit from it. We have identified 'sentinel' left ventricular regions that serve as harbingers of irreversible contractile injury in new-onset heart failure patients. We hypothesize that the surveillance of these regions by advanced strain-based metrics of contractile function (MRI-based multi- parametric strain analysis) will better direct the application of high-risk heart failure surgical therapy by allowing the risk stratification of new onset heart failure patients in regard to response to medical therapy and the subsequent occurrence of heart failure adverse events.

Notes: When a more specific filing date is not available for an individual financial disclosure or conflict of interest form, we use the year the form was filed. If the year was not disclosed, we report the range of years covered by our public records requests. In a few cases, a start date was provided instead of a filing date. In those cases, we use the start date instead.
Fewer than 10% of records from the University of Florida and fewer than 1% of records from the University of Texas system were removed because they did not contain enough information.
ProPublica obtained additional financial disclosures and conflict of interest forms that we have not yet digitized and added to the database. You can download those disclosures in the ProPublica Data Store.
