Finding early heart failure in at-risk adults across Germany
This study uses heart MRI scans to find unrecognized heart failure in people who have risk factors like diabetes, kidney disease, high blood pressure, or obesity but haven't been diagnosed with heart failure yet. If you join, you will help researchers learn how common hidden heart failure is and take an important step for your own heart health.
BerlinAges 40–69 - NCT07199088Recruiting
Comparing two medicines for fluid buildup in heart failure
This study tests whether adding acetazolamide or metolazone to standard treatment helps remove extra fluid better in people hospitalized for heart failure. It aims to find a safer and more effective option for managing fluid overload.
Chak Four Hundred Fifty-four, Punjab ProvinceAges 18 years+ - NCT07205120Recruiting
Fluid-guided heart failure treatment study
This trial tests a new way to manage fluid levels in people hospitalized for heart failure. It aims to help doctors adjust treatment to keep you from coming back to the hospital.
Cleveland, OhioAges 21 years+ - NCT07218627RecruitingPhase 1
Study of New Drug for Heart Failure
This study tests a new medication called NNC0537-1482 for people with heart failure. It aims to see if the drug is safe and how it affects the body, and may help improve symptoms.
LondonAges 40–75 - NCT07037459RecruitingPhase 3
A study of a new drug for heart failure with obesity
This trial tests a medication called maridebart cafraglutide for people with heart failure (where the heart doesn't pump as well as it should) and obesity. The goal is to see if it can help improve symptoms and outcomes.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–99 - NCT07252531Recruiting
BrioVAD heart pump study for advanced heart failure
This trial tests a new heart pump (BrioVAD) for people with very advanced heart failure. It aims to help those who are not getting better with standard treatments or who need extra support like IV medicines or a balloon pump.
RotterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT07263035RecruitingPhase 4
Urine sodium-guided diuretic strategy for heart failure
This trial tests a new way to adjust diuretic (water pill) doses based on urine sodium levels in patients hospitalized for worsening heart failure. The goal is to improve fluid removal and get patients home sooner.
Lakeland, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07272902Recruiting
Atrial fibrillation treatment: Ablation vs. medication
This trial compares two ways to treat atrial fibrillation in people with heart failure where the heart's pumping strength is still normal. You'll either get a procedure called ablation to restore normal rhythm or medication to control your heart rate. The goal is to see which approach works better for people like you.
Halifax, Nova ScotiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07273838RecruitingPhase 2
SGLT2 inhibitor for acute heart and kidney failure
This study tests whether a medicine called an SGLT2 inhibitor (which lowers blood sugar and helps the kidneys) can improve outcomes for people with acute heart failure and kidney problems. Participation involves taking the study drug or a placebo for a short time.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18–85 - NCT07281859Recruiting
Heart monitor alert study for new ICD patients
This study tests a heart failure alert system called HeartInsight in people who recently received an ICD or CRT-D device. The goal is to see if the alerts help doctors manage care better. You may qualify if you got a new (not replacement) device less than a year ago.
Mercogliano, AvellinoAges 18 years+ - NCT07321509RecruitingPhase 4
Digoxin after a recent heart failure hospitalization
This trial tests whether digoxin, a heart medication, can help people who were recently hospitalized for heart failure with a weak heart pump. It aims to see if it improves symptoms and daily activity.
Buenos Aires, Buenos Aires F.D.Ages 18–120 - NCT00762008Recruiting
Test blood markers to understand progression to heart failure
This study looks at blood “markers” (substances in the blood) to help explain how some people move from early heart strain to full heart failure. You may be enrolled if you have stable or worsening heart failure symptoms, or you may qualify as a healthy control for comparison.
Farmington, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT02368041Recruiting
Near-infrared scan test in children with heart failure
This study tests whether a near-infrared “light scan” on the hand can help doctors in children with heart failure who are stable on their usual medications. It may give additional information about blood flow and circulation in the body without using invasive procedures.
Gainesville, FloridaAges Up to 25 years - 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.
