Haozhou, AnhuiAges 40–80 - NCT07483151Recruiting
Heart Surgery and Thinking Changes Study
This study looks at how changes in blood flow (called venous congestion) after heart surgery might affect thinking and memory. It aims to find out if there is a link between how blood returns to the heart and brain function after surgery.
Yangzhou, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT05659589Recruiting
Using a kidney toxin level to predict heart effects in AKI
This study looks at whether measuring indoxyl sulfate, a substance that can build up when kidneys are injured, can help predict how blood vessels and the heart are affected during acute kidney injury (AKI). It may help doctors understand who is at higher risk of heart-related problems while AKI is happening.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT03469440Recruiting
Targeted oxygen monitoring during children’s heart surgery
This trial tests whether a goal-focused monitoring approach can help optimize oxygen levels in the blood during children’s heart surgery using a heart-lung machine. It may help clinicians adjust care more precisely during surgery.
São PauloAges Up to 14 years - NCT05732051RecruitingPhase 2
Nicotinamide riboside to protect the heart during breast cancer chemo
This trial tests whether nicotinamide riboside can help prevent heart problems caused by a common breast-cancer chemotherapy (anthracyclines). If you’re eligible, you’ll be followed to see how your heart is doing during treatment.
Lørenskog, AkershusAges 18 years+ - NCT07483047Recruiting
Predicting memory changes after heart surgery in older adults
This study looks at older adults having heart surgery to find out who might have trouble thinking or remembering afterward. Researchers hope to build a tool to predict this risk so doctors can help sooner.
ShanghaiAges 65 years+ - NCT01258231Recruiting
Genetic test to predict risks after heart surgery
This study looks for genetic (DNA) clues that may help predict side effects or complications after heart surgery. If you join, your genome information may be used to understand who is at higher risk and why.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 20–90 - NCT06469515Recruiting
Thinking recovery after heart surgery in older adults
This study looks at how older adults recover their thinking and memory skills after heart surgery. You may be asked to do simple computer or paper tests to see how your brain heals.
GothenburgAges 65 years+ - NCT06386094Recruiting
Fatty Liver Disease and Heart Function Study
This study checks how fatty liver disease (a condition where fat builds up in the liver) affects the heart. If you have this liver condition and are between 18 and 65, you may help doctors understand the link between liver health and heart function.
Chandigarh, ChandigarhAges 18–65 - NCT07482501Recruiting
Magnetic brain stimulation for heart health after stroke
This study uses repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (a non-invasive brain treatment using magnetic pulses) to improve heart rate control in people who have had a stroke. It may help your body better manage stress and blood pressure.
AfyonkarahisarAges 35–80 - NCT04229056Recruiting
Computer training to improve thinking and planning after stroke or Parkinson’s
This trial tests computer-based “self-training” to improve executive function, such as working memory—your ability to hold and use information in mind. It’s for adults with a prior stroke, cardiac arrest, or Parkinson’s disease who have trouble on a specific working-memory task.
CopenhagenAges 18–100 - NCT07200726Recruiting
Brain inflammation and thinking after heart surgery
This study looks at whether brain inflammation during heart surgery may affect memory and thinking. It includes people aged 60 and older who are having planned heart surgery.
Genk, LimburgAges 60 years+ - NCT05465031RecruitingPhase 4
Testing heart-protection medicine during breast cancer treatment
This trial tests sacubitril/valsartan to help prevent heart weakness (cardiotoxicity) caused by breast cancer treatments like anthracyclines and/or anti-HER2 drugs. If you qualify, you may be offered this heart-protection medicine while your cancer is treated.
Opole, Opole VoivodeshipAges 18 years+ - NCT06610019Recruiting
Heart imaging study using MRI
This study uses heart MRI scans to learn more about cardiovascular health in adults. If you are 18 or older and have been referred for a heart MRI at Montefiore, you may be able to join.
The Bronx, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07072858Recruiting
Heart MRI to Predict Recovery After Heart Attack
This study is testing if a special heart MRI taken within a week of a STEMI heart attack can help doctors predict your recovery and future risks. It may help tailor your follow-up care.
BeijingAges 18–80 - NCT06511505Recruiting
Testing AI to find hidden heart conditions from ECGs
This study uses an AI tool to look at your ECG (a simple heart test) to help find early signs of atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat) or structural heart disease (changes in heart structure). It aims to see if the AI can help doctors catch these conditions sooner, even in people who don't yet have symptoms.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 40 years+ - NCT06208007Recruiting
Predicting heart failure with stiff arteries
This study looks at whether stiffer arteries can help predict a type of heart failure where the heart doesn't relax properly (HFpEF). It's for people who have risk factors like high blood pressure, diabetes, or being older, and who may have early signs of heart trouble.
Göttingen, Lower SaxonyAges 18 years+ - NCT06220032RecruitingPhase 3
Preventing heart damage from chemotherapy in lymphoma
This trial tests if the drug dexrazoxane can protect the heart during chemotherapy for a type of lymphoma called DLBCL. It may be an option for patients starting a standard treatment regimen known as R-CHOP.
's-HertogenboschAges 18 years+ - NCT06770062Recruiting
How the heart changes after mitral valve repair surgery
This study at Mayo Clinic uses MRI and other tests to see how the heart's main pumping chamber changes shape after robot-assisted mitral valve repair surgery for severe mitral regurgitation. It may help doctors better understand how patients recover.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT03934905RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Sulforaphane supplement to protect the heart during doxorubicin
This trial tests whether a nutritional supplement called sulforaphane (SFN) can help protect heart function in people with breast cancer who are receiving doxorubicin (a chemotherapy that can affect the heart). Participants take caplets and have heart and safety monitoring to see if the supplement reduces heart-related side effects.
Lubbock, TexasAges 18–89 - NCT07515235Recruiting
DMD Gene Variants and Heart Function in Young Males
This study examines how different genetic changes in the DMD gene affect heart function in boys with dystrophinopathy (a muscle-weakening condition). Understanding this connection may help doctors better monitor and treat heart problems in affected boys.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for cardiac dysfunction?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 66 recruiting cardiac dysfunction 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 dysfunction 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 dysfunction 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.
