New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05250349Recruiting
Ultrasound brain blood flow and thinking in stable heart failure
This trial studies whether a noninvasive ultrasound test of blood flow in the brain, along with memory and thinking questionnaires, can help explain thinking changes in people with stable heart failure. It may help researchers better understand why some people develop cognitive (thinking) difficulties as heart failure progresses.
Krakow, MPAges 18 years+ - NCT05508256RecruitingPhase 4
Ablation for atrial fibrillation in heart failure with preserved function
This trial tests whether a catheter procedure that treats atrial fibrillation works better than standard care for people with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. It aims to improve heart rhythm symptoms and overall outcomes compared with conventional treatment.
BerlinAges 18 years+ - NCT02444416Recruiting
Registry study for people with new acute heart failure
This study is a registry that collects information about people who come to care with sudden (acute) worsening heart failure symptoms. If your test shows a higher BNP level, your doctors may use your details to better understand and track acute heart failure care.
GenevaAges 16–100 - NCT04343443Recruiting
Test whether a lung ultrasound helps discharge planning after heart failure
This study looks at people hospitalized for worsening heart failure with weaker pumping (reduced ejection fraction). It tests whether a lung ultrasound evaluation near discharge can improve how doctors decide it is safe to send you home.
Vandœuvre-lès-NancyAges 18 years+ - NCT04332692Recruiting
Check if a lung ultrasound helps evaluate discharge after heart failure
This study looks at whether doing lung ultrasounds can better assess people right before they leave the hospital after an acute heart failure flare. It may help doctors decide when someone is ready for discharge and tailor care to reduce risk after leaving.
Vandœuvre-lès-NancyAges 18 years+ - NCT04343430Recruiting
Hospital study for fluid buildup in heart failure with preserved heart function
This study looks at how well doctors can assess fluid buildup before you leave the hospital if you have a type of heart failure called “preserved ejection fraction.” It may help improve decisions about when and how safely people are discharged.
Vandœuvre-lès-NancyAges 18 years+ - NCT05936957Recruiting
Heart failure care study for acute and chronic patients
This study welcomes people with heart failure (both sudden/worsening and long-term). It will check how heart failure care is managed, and it only moves forward if you choose to participate.
Ibadan, Oyo StateAges 18–100 - NCT03793257Recruiting
ECMO patient registry for adults in Australia and New Zealand
This is a research registry for adults who need a breathing and/or heart support machine called ECMO while in the hospital. It collects information to better understand who receives ECMO and how patients do over time.
Canberra, Australian Capital TerritoryAges 18 years+ - NCT06061549RecruitingPhase 1
Gene therapy for stiff heart failure (preserved EF)
This trial tests a one-time gene therapy for people with heart failure who still have normal pumping strength (preserved ejection fraction). It aims to improve how heart cells handle calcium, which may help the heart relax better and ease symptoms.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 50 years+ - NCT06081205Recruiting
Heart disease patients in intensive care study
This trial observes patients admitted to the cardiac intensive care unit with acute heart or blood vessel problems. It aims to learn more about their conditions and treatments.
Ioannina, EpirusAges Any age - NCT05746923Recruiting
Heart failure hospital registry for adults in Krakow area
This registry collects information from adults who were recently hospitalized for acute heart failure. It helps researchers better understand who is affected and how care is delivered after hospitalization.
KrakowAges 18 years+ - NCT04703842RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study drug effect on heart muscle calcium in advanced heart failure
This trial tests a treatment intended to improve how heart muscle cells handle calcium, which may help heart failure symptoms and heart function. It is mainly for people with advanced heart failure and a low pumping strength of the heart.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 18–80 - NCT04158479Recruiting
Registry for people on ECMO life support
This registry collects information about people who are placed on ECMO, a heart-lung machine used to support breathing and/or circulation. It may help doctors better understand who benefits and how to manage ECMO in the future.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT05632432Recruiting
Heart tissue grafts to help the heart after surgery
This trial tests whether transplanting tiny heart “micrografts” from the left heart chamber area can improve heart function after cardiac surgery. It is meant for people with weakened heart pumping and heart failure symptoms despite medicine.
Helsinki, UusimaaAges 18–75 - NCT06286423RecruitingPhase 4
Colchicine for acute heart failure with low pumping strength
This trial tests if the anti-inflammatory drug colchicine can help people hospitalized with acute heart failure and a weak heart pump. It may benefit those with elevated inflammation markers.
Charlottesville, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT03323216Recruiting
Testing heart-related blood markers in people with diabetes and heart failure
This study looks for blood markers that may help explain or predict heart problems in people who have type 2 diabetes and heart failure. To join, you may also need to be having a planned heart procedure where doctors can collect study information.
Aachen, North Rhine-WestphaliaAges 18 years+ - NCT07814118Enrolling by invitation
Understanding how your body works during routine care
This study looks at how different body systems work together in people with various conditions and healthy volunteers. It uses routine medical tests and data to understand health better, which can help improve future care.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06331208Recruiting
