Paris, IDFAges 18 years+ - NCT05508035RecruitingPhase 3
Testing sacubitril/valsartan vs ramipril for heart failure
This trial compares two blood-pressure and heart-failure medicines: sacubitril/valsartan versus ramipril, to see which improves heart pumping and heart structure over time. It’s aimed at people with ischemic (blocked-artery) heart failure with mid-range ejection fraction and ongoing symptoms.
Krakow, Lesser Poland VoivodeshipAges 18 years+ - NCT07558265Recruiting
Comparing breathing support methods in the emergency department
This study tests two common ways to help people who are having trouble breathing in the emergency room: a face mask that pushes air into the lungs (non-invasive positive pressure ventilation) or high-flow oxygen through small tubes in the nose (high-flow nasal oxygen). The goal is to find which method works better to avoid needing a breathing tube.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT04709900Recruiting
Tests for stable chest pain using heart scans and pressure measurements
This trial studies how well different heart tests (imaging the blood flow and measuring blood pressure in the heart) work for people with stable chest pain. It may help guide safer, more accurate evaluation when you are not having a heart attack.
CopenhagenAges Any age - NCT07721649Recruiting
Flu shot during hospital stay for heart patients
This study checks if giving a flu shot to heart patients while they are in the hospital helps prevent heart problems later. It tests whether the flu shot can reduce the risk of further heart events.
CologneAges 18 years+ - NCT06707532Recruiting
Muscle relaxants for safer heart rhythm treatment
This study tests if giving muscle relaxants before a heart ablation procedure can protect muscles from damage. Ablation uses energy to fix irregular heartbeats, and muscle relaxants might make it safer.
Wroclaw, Lower Silesian VoivodeshipAges 18–90 - NCT04676100Enrolling by invitation
International registry for cardiac rehabilitation programs
This study collects information about cardiac rehabilitation (CR) programs in lower-resource areas. It helps improve how CR is delivered and understood, especially where healthcare resources and awareness are limited.
DohaAges 18 years+ - NCT05089162Recruiting
Testing a heart ultrasound approach in chronic heart failure
This study looks at people with chronic heart failure with weaker pumping function and checks how well a lung/heart ultrasound can assess congestion (fluid buildup). If you qualify, you may help test a better way to evaluate your condition during a planned hospital visit.
