This study tests a new exercise program for people over 65 with heart failure where the heart pumps less efficiently. The goal is to see if tailored exercise is safe and helpful for breathing, energy, and daily function.
Charlottesville, VirginiaAges 65 years+ - NCT06196086Recruiting
Measuring heart stiffness in heart failure with normal pumping
This study uses a special ultrasound technique to check how stiff the heart muscle is in people with heart failure who have a normal pumping ability (HFpEF). It aims to better understand heart stiffness to help diagnose and manage this condition.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18–80 - NCT07326605Enrolling by invitation
Heart MRI study for heart failure with preserved pumping function
This trial uses a special heart MRI to create pressure-volume loops in people with heart failure who have a normal pumping strength (ejection fraction of 50% or higher). It aims to better understand heart function and could help guide future treatments. You may qualify if you have heart failure symptoms and specific heart structure or function changes.
Ages 18 years+ - NCT07269717RecruitingPhase 2
Testing HRS-1893 for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction
This trial tests a new drug called HRS-1893 for people with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). It aims to see if the drug can improve symptoms and quality of life.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 40 years+ - NCT05582044Recruiting
Exercise using leg suction for heart failure with preserved function
This study tests whether a specific lower-body exercise method using negative pressure (leg suction) can improve symptoms and heart-related function in people with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). You may also be offered screening if you are a healthy person, to compare results.
Kelowna, British ColumbiaAges 40 years+ - NCT05651919Recruiting
Blood test study to understand diabetic heart weakness
This study measures immune cells from your blood to find markers (biomarkers) that may explain or predict diabetic cardiomyopathy, a type of heart condition linked to diabetes. You may benefit mainly by being closely monitored and contributing to research that could improve future diagnosis or risk tracking.
BronAges 40–85 - NCT06307652RecruitingPhase 3
Testing a new heart failure and kidney treatment combo
This study tests a new combination of two medicines (balcinrenone and dapagliflozin) for people with heart failure and reduced kidney function. The goal is to see if this combination helps improve heart and kidney health better than current treatments.
Alexander City, AlabamaAges 18–130 - NCT06465043Recruiting
Understanding Heart Failure When the Heart Stiffens
This study is for people with a type of heart failure called HFpEF, where the heart pumps normally but doesn't relax well. It aims to better understand heart failure through advanced testing, and it includes people who are newly diagnosed or have had a recent hospitalization.
HelsinkiAges 18–85 - NCT06620653Recruiting
Heart failure recovery at home study
This study tests a virtual ward program for people recently hospitalized with heart failure. It aims to see if monitoring and support at home can improve recovery and quality of life.
Ballinasloe, GalwayAges 18 years+ - NCT06630923RecruitingPhase 3
Preventing kidney worsening with IV albumin in heart failure
This trial tests if giving a medicine called albumin through a vein can help prevent kidney function from getting worse in people hospitalized with worsening heart failure and liver problems. It may be an option if other treatments haven't worked.
Alexandroupoli, EvrosAges 18–95 - NCT06754475Recruiting
Low volume arm HIIT for heart failure patients
This trial tests if short, high-intensity arm exercises can help people with stable heart failure. It looks at safety and improvements in daily function.
Mersin, MersinAges 18 years+ - NCT06820099RecruitingPhase 2
A drug for heart failure with obesity
This trial tests an oral drug called HRS-7535 for people with a certain type of heart failure (where the heart pumps normally but doesn't relax properly) and who also have obesity. It aims to see if the drug can improve symptoms and daily function.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT07178145RecruitingPhase 4
Heart fat and heart failure with preserved pumping ability study
