Newcastle upon TyneAges 18 years+ - NCT07572955Recruiting
Understanding Fluid Changes in Hospitalized Heart Failure
This study observes patients admitted to the hospital with heart failure that has suddenly worsened. Researchers will use daily ultrasound scans of your lungs to track fluid buildup and understand how the heart failure progresses during your hospital stay.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT07547540RecruitingPhase 1
Study of an investigational drug for heart failure
This study tests an experimental drug called LY3971297 to see if it can help people with chronic heart failure. It aims to find out if the drug is safe and if it improves heart function.
Detroit, MichiganAges 18–65 - NCT07550790Recruiting
Preventing kidney injury during heart failure imaging scans
This study tests whether a specific water-based medication can prevent kidney damage when patients with acute heart failure need a CT scan with contrast dye. The trial focuses on people with mild-to-moderate kidney problems who are hospitalized for fluid buildup in the heart.
Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi-doAges 20 years+ - NCT07527156RecruitingPhase 4
Ketones through a nose tube for severe heart failure
This trial tests whether giving a special liquid diet (ketones) through a thin tube in your nose helps your heart pump better when it's severely weakened and not getting enough blood to your body. Ketones are an alternative fuel your body can use instead of glucose.
Prague, PragueAges 18 years+ - NCT07530029Recruiting
Muscle loss in older patients with heart failure
This study looks at muscle loss (sarcopenia) in older patients (80+) hospitalized for heart failure with preserved pumping function. It may help doctors better understand how to care for this specific group.
Madrid, MadridAges 80 years+ - NCT07508891Recruiting
Studying heart failure types in hospitalized patients
This trial looks at different types of acute heart failure in people who are hospitalized. Doctors will study your symptoms and health to better understand heart failure patterns, which might help improve future treatments.
HamburgAges 18 years+ - NCT07515508Recruiting
Understanding heart failure patterns in hospitalized patients
This study investigates different types of acute heart failure in hospitalized patients to better understand their condition and improve treatment. Researchers will use multiple imaging and testing methods to create a detailed picture of each patient's heart failure.
Bad KrozingenAges 18 years+ - NCT07513883RecruitingPhase 4
Reducing Heart Failure Medications When Your Heart Recovers
This study tests whether patients whose heart failure has improved can safely reduce some of their medications. If your heart function has recovered significantly and stayed stable, this trial explores whether you can gradually lower doses of heart failure drugs while staying healthy.
GenkAges 18 years+ - NCT07499661Recruiting
Study of blood clots in the lungs with heart failure
This study looks at whether a blood clot in the lungs (pulmonary embolism) is a hidden cause in patients who are hospitalized for acute heart failure. It involves additional imaging tests to find a clot if present, which could change your treatment.
AgenAges 18 years+ - NCT07486791Recruiting
