Dallas, TexasAges 45 years+ - NCT06937320Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Testing ketone supplements for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF)
This study tests whether a special dietary supplement (ketone esters) can improve exercise ability and heart function in people with a type of heart failure where the heart pumps well but is stiff (HFpEF). You might join if you have stable symptoms, an ejection fraction of 50% or higher, and signs of fluid buildup in the heart.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06921603Recruiting

This trial tests whether using a bedside ultrasound to guide diuretic treatment improves outcomes in people hospitalized for worsening heart failure. It may help find the right dose of IV diuretics faster.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04899479RecruitingPhase 4
SGLT-2 inhibitor after heart attack to improve heart recovery
This trial studies whether starting an SGLT-2 inhibitor around the time of a heart attack can reduce heart damage size and improve how the heart heals. It focuses on people with a high risk of developing heart failure and who are getting a procedure to open blocked heart arteries.
SeoulAges 18 years+ - NCT06898515Recruiting
Fluid removal study for acute heart failure patients
This trial tests a device designed to safely remove extra fluid from patients hospitalized with worsening heart failure. It may help those who are not responding well to standard water pills (diuretics).
Irvine, CaliforniaAges 22 years+ - NCT06868797Recruiting
Dapagliflozin for advanced heart failure patients waiting for transplant
This study tests whether dapagliflozin (a medicine already approved for other heart conditions) can help protect kidney and heart function in people with very advanced heart failure who are waiting for a heart transplant. If you qualify, you'll help researchers learn if this drug offers extra benefits beyond standard care.
BronAges 18 years+ - NCT03951467Recruiting
Health literacy support to help you follow medical advice
This study tests whether a communication tool matched to your health literacy level can improve how well people follow medical recommendations after an acute episode. It may help you understand your care plan and take the right next steps at home.
BronAges 18 years+ - NCT06800716Recruiting
Impella temporary pump for end-stage heart failure
This study tests whether using a temporary heart pump called Impella 5.5 can help strengthen a very weak and enlarged heart (dilated cardiomyopathy) in people who are waiting for a heart transplant. If you qualify, the pump is placed to support your heart temporarily, and the research team will check how your heart responds.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT03806972Recruiting
Study outcomes after emergency heart failure admission
This study follows people admitted to the emergency department for acute heart failure to understand their short- and long-term outcomes. It may help doctors predict who needs more support and improve follow-up after discharge.
Monastir, Monastir GovernorateAges 18–80 - NCT06736574RecruitingPhase 3
Study of omecamtiv mecarbil for chronic heart failure with very weak heart pump
This study tests an investigational medicine (omecamtiv mecarbil) for people with chronic heart failure and very low pumping strength. It looks at whether the drug can help prevent heart failure events or the need for stronger treatments.
Alexander City, AlabamaAges 18–85 - NCT06595290Recruiting
Faster medication increase for heart failure with weak pumping
This trial tests a new, faster way to increase heart failure medications during a hospital stay, aiming to get patients on the right doses sooner. It is for people with weak heart pumping (ejection fraction 40% or less) who are currently in the hospital for heart failure and are on low doses of standard medications.
Long Xuyen, An GiangAges 18–75 - NCT02638142Recruiting
Testing IV diuretic treatment for sudden worsening heart failure
This trial studies how an IV (into-the-vein) “water pill” (furosemide/loop diuretic) works in people whose heart failure has suddenly gotten worse. It may help doctors find the best way to reduce fluid-related symptoms like breathing trouble and swelling.
Chioggia, VeneziaAges 18 years+ - NCT06690684Enrolling by invitation
Finding new blood markers for heart disease
This study is looking for people who have had a heart attack or have heart failure to discover new markers in your blood that could help doctors better understand and treat heart disease. By collecting samples and health data, researchers hope to find clues that improve care for future patients.
Shanghai, Jing 'an DistrictAges 30 years+ - NCT06656832Recruiting
How Heart Failure Progresses in Hospitalized Patients

LeipzigAges 18 years+ - NCT06626685Recruiting
Clonal blood cells in heart failure
This study looks at whether changes in blood cells (called clonal hematopoiesis) are linked to heart failure. By testing your blood, researchers hope to learn more about how heart failure progresses and find new ways to treat it.
BergamoAges 18 years+ - NCT06587854Recruiting
Study on fluid congestion in acute heart failure patients
This study looks at different patterns of fluid buildup in people with acute heart failure. It aims to understand how these patterns relate to treatment with water pills (diuretics) and may help improve care.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for acute heart failure?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 418 recruiting acute heart failure studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a acute heart failure trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a acute heart failure trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
