This study uses AI to analyze heart tracings (ECGs) and focused ultrasound images to detect heart disease early. It includes teenagers, young adults, adults over 30, and pregnant women.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 15 years+ - NCT06681506Recruiting
New heart rehab program for ischemic heart disease
This study tests a new cardiac rehabilitation treatment for people with ischemic heart disease, a condition where blood flow to the heart is reduced. The goal is to improve heart health and recovery through a structured rehab program.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–85 - NCT06784895Recruiting
Women-only cardiac rehab program
This trial tests a cardiac rehab program designed just for women. It aims to see if a women-only setting helps with recovery after heart problems or procedures.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 40–80 - NCT07415447Recruiting
Aorta repair study: heart and vessel changes after stent procedure
This study looks at how the heart changes after a minimally invasive procedure to fix an aortic aneurysm. It uses imaging to track heart function and structure over time.
LisbonAges 18 years+ - NCT06886789Recruiting
Staying healthy after cardiac rehab
This study tests a program to help people who have finished cardiac rehab keep up their healthy habits. The program uses a smartphone app and check-in calls to support your progress.
Providence, Rhode IslandAges 18 years+ - NCT06001073Recruiting
Heart and brain disease health prediction study
This study uses advanced health data to predict how heart and brain conditions may progress. It aims to help doctors provide better care for people with these diseases.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 3–80 - NCT05833048Recruiting
Pain-relief nerve block during cardiac surgery
This study tests whether a numbing “nerve block” placed in the rectus sheath area can reduce pain for people having certain heart surgeries with chest tubes. If you qualify, it may help your comfort during recovery, but it also depends on how suitable you are for local anesthesia.
New York, New YorkAges 18–85 - NCT04374799RecruitingPhase 3
Heparin vs placebo during cardiac catheterization
This trial tests whether giving heparin (a blood thinner) during a specific type of heart procedure is safer and works better than not giving it. It focuses on patients where the blood supply in the hand’s artery connection is functioning properly.
Hamilton, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06294119Recruiting
Brain-heart-vessel interaction study in heart surgery patients
This study looks at how your brain, heart, and blood vessels work together during heart surgery. It uses simple tests to measure these connections, which may help doctors better understand your health.
San Donato Milanese, MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT05786274Recruiting
Predicting stroke risk after heart surgery using heart signals and MRI
This study looks at ways to predict harmful brain and blood-vessel side effects after heart surgery. It may help doctors identify higher-risk patients sooner so they can monitor them more closely.
San Donato Milanese, MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT06747806Recruiting
A heart surgery biobank study
This study collects tissue samples from children and adults having heart surgery. The samples will help researchers learn more about heart conditions and improve future treatments.
Hyde Park, IllinoisAges Any age - NCT07032792RecruitingPhase 2
FEIBA versus plasma for bleeding after heart surgery
This trial compares two treatments for bleeding after heart surgery: a medicine called FEIBA (which helps blood clot) and fresh frozen plasma (a blood product). The goal is to see which works better as a first treatment for bleeding during recovery.
Manhasset, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06320782Enrolling by invitation
Diet and belly fat study for overweight adults
This study tests how different diets affect belly fat, thigh muscle, and heart health in people who are overweight. It might help you find a way to eat that improves your health.
Recife, PernambucoAges 20 years+ - NCT05039866Enrolling by invitation
Long-term follow-up after receiving ST-920
This study checks how people are doing long after they previously received ST-920 in an earlier trial. It may help researchers understand long-term safety and outcomes from that treatment.
Irvine, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05443321Enrolling by invitation
Health information sharing during hospital transfers
This trial studies whether sharing patients’ health information between hospitals during transfers can improve outcomes. You may be included if you are moved from a specific partner hospital to Brigham and Women’s Hospital and admitted to certain hospital units.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07753681Recruiting
Chronic disease care in Zambia
This study helps improve care for people with long-term illnesses like diabetes or high blood pressure in Zambia. It aims to make sure you get regular check-ups and support.
Lusaka, Lusaka ProvinceAges Any age - NCT06969924Recruiting
How CRT works for adults with congenital heart disease
This study looks at how well cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) works for adults who were born with a heart defect. Researchers will review medical records to see if the therapy helps improve heart function.
Leiden, South HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT03790943Recruiting
Health study of heart problems in childhood cancer survivors
This study follows people who had cancer as children to learn about heart-related changes years after treatment. It may help doctors better understand who is at risk and how to monitor the heart in long-term survivors.
Basel, Canton of Basel-CityAges 18 years+ - NCT07116343RecruitingPhase 4
Pain relief through chest tube medication after heart surgery
This trial tests whether giving a numbing medicine (ropivacaine) through the chest tube after open-heart surgery can reduce pain. It may help patients recover more comfortably.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for cardiac disease?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 319 recruiting cardiac disease 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 cardiac disease 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 cardiac disease 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.
