ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT05564793Recruiting
Noninvasive heart mapping to improve CRT outcomes
This trial tests whether a special noninvasive heart “mapping” test done on the body can help improve outcomes for people who need a CRT device. It studies whether mapping before implantation can better guide or predict how well the CRT will work.
AmsterdamAges 18–85 - NCT06651970RecruitingPhase 4
Acalabrutinib for chronic lymphocytic leukemia with heart problems
This trial tests a targeted therapy called acalabrutinib (a pill) against other standard treatments for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) in people who also have heart conditions. The goal is to see if acalabrutinib is a safer or more effective option for this group.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 18–130 - NCT06645535Enrolling by invitation
Gut Bacteria and Blood Substances in Stiff Heart Failure
This study looks at how bacteria in your gut and certain substances in your blood relate to a type of heart failure called HFpEF (where the heart is stiff and doesn't relax well). It may help doctors understand the condition better and find new ways to treat it.
Naning, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT06444425Enrolling by invitation
AI test for heart function using ultrasound
This trial uses artificial intelligence to analyze heart ultrasound images. It aims to see if AI can detect heart function better than standard methods. You may be eligible if you are a cardiology patient having an ultrasound and can return for extra blood pressure checks.
Yiwu, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT06414265Recruiting
Testing a new valve for severe mitral regurgitation
This trial tests a new device called the SATURN system, which places a new mitral valve without open-heart surgery. It is for people aged 65 and older with severe mitral regurgitation who are at high risk for surgery.
TbilisiAges 65 years+ - NCT06299514Recruiting
Pacemaker and ablation for heart failure with atrial fibrillation
This trial tests if a pacemaker plus an ablation procedure can improve heart failure symptoms in people with atrial fibrillation. It is for those with moderate to severe heart failure who are already on the right medications.
Victoria, British ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06316349Recruiting
Leg exercises and electrical stimulation for balloon pump patients
This study tests if leg exercises and mild electrical stimulation can help people who have a balloon pump in their leg artery. It aims to see if these treatments improve strength and recovery while the pump is in place.
São Paulo, São PauloAges 18 years+ - NCT06215248Recruiting
Heart function study in leg artery disease patients
This trial uses ultrasound to check how well the heart pumps in people with blocked leg arteries. It aims to find early signs of heart strain that standard tests might miss.
TartuAges 35–85 - NCT05485376Recruiting
Pulmonary artery catheter use in cardiogenic shock patients
This trial studies whether using a special pressure-monitoring tube in the heart’s main artery (a pulmonary artery catheter) helps people who are in cardiogenic shock from weak heart pumping. If you qualify, the goal is to improve how doctors monitor and treat this dangerous, fast-moving condition.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–90 - NCT05793996RecruitingPhase 4
Testing an iron infusion for iron deficiency in HFpEF
This study checks how common iron deficiency is in people with HFpEF (heart failure with preserved pumping strength) and tests whether an iron infusion (Ferinject®) improves health. It targets people with stable heart symptoms and lab results showing low iron stores or related iron deficiency.
