Pátrai, GreeceAges 18–90 - NCT06108076RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Oral ketones for heart failure and diabetes
This study tests whether taking a special oral ketone supplement can help people with both heart failure and diabetes. It looks at both short-term and long-term effects on heart function and blood sugar control.
San Antonio, TexasAges 18–80 - NCT07835828Recruiting
Optimised heart and kidney protection for chronic kidney disease and heart disease
This study tests a new approach to protect the heart and kidneys in people with both chronic kidney disease and heart or blood vessel problems. By optimising treatment, researchers hope to reduce the risk of further kidney or heart damage.
SvendborgAges 18 years+ - NCT03398369Recruiting
Imaging study to guide heart failure device treatment
This study uses advanced heart imaging to better understand heart function in people who may benefit from a cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) device. It aims to find ways to improve how doctors choose treatment and tailor care.
Charlottesville, VirginiaAges 20–90 - NCT04602338Recruiting
Imaging tests to better diagnose heart failure with preserved function
This trial uses several types of heart imaging to diagnose heart failure where squeezing function is still fairly normal. It may help doctors sort out what’s causing your symptoms and guide better care by comparing imaging findings across many patients.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT05106270Recruiting
Atrial pressure changes around a heart procedure for atrial fibrillation
This trial studies how changing pressure in the heart’s upper chamber before and after a combined heart procedure affects outcomes in people with atrial fibrillation. It may help guide safer, more effective care for patients who need left atrial appendage closure (a way to reduce stroke risk).
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT04603404Recruiting
Imaging tests to find and predict HFpEF risk
This study uses different heart imaging tests to help screen for HFpEF (heart failure with preserved pumping strength), make the diagnosis, and estimate your future risk. You may benefit by getting a clearer diagnosis and a better risk picture based on the scans.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT05732051RecruitingPhase 2
Nicotinamide riboside to protect the heart during breast cancer chemo
This trial tests whether nicotinamide riboside can help prevent heart problems caused by a common breast-cancer chemotherapy (anthracyclines). If you’re eligible, you’ll be followed to see how your heart is doing during treatment.
Lørenskog, AkershusAges 18 years+ - NCT06125925Recruiting
Ablation for AFib in patients with heart failure and preserved ejection fraction
This study tests whether a catheter ablation procedure can help people with atrial fibrillation and a kind of heart failure where the heart pumps normally but doesn't relax properly (HFpEF). It looks at whether the procedure can improve symptoms and heart function.
NanjingAges 18–80 - NCT06078436Recruiting
Early carvedilol for heart failure shock
This trial tests whether starting the heart failure medication carvedilol early, along with standard monitoring, can help people in cardiogenic shock (when the heart can't pump enough blood) due to a weak heart muscle. It aims to see if earlier treatment improves outcomes.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT06356727Recruiting
