Recruiting studies
- NCT05868616Recruiting
Checking heart resynchronization timing with a noninvasive test
This trial evaluates a noninvasive way to assess who should get Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT), and to check results after implantation. If you fit the heart rhythm and heart pump criteria, the approach may help confirm whether CRT is appropriate for you.
OsloAges 18–80 - NCT07131631Recruiting
MitraClip for leaky heart valve in heart failure patients
This trial tests if the MitraClip device helps people with heart failure and a leaky mitral valve. It uses a special MRI to check how the heart responds to treatment.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT07296081Recruiting
PET scan study for heart scarring in heart failure
This study uses a special PET scan to look for scarring (fibrosis) in the heart muscle of people with heart failure. It may help doctors better understand why some hearts get stiff or weak.
Coimbra, Coimbra DistrictAges 18 years+ - NCT06324682Recruiting
Comparing heart pacemaker types for better treatment
This trial looks at different ways to pace the heart (like left, right, or both sides) to see which works best for people who need a pacemaker. If you have a heart condition requiring a pacemaker, this study may help find the safest and most effective option for you.
Ferrara, FEAges 18 years+ - NCT07069738Recruiting
New pacemaker vs standard cardiac therapy for heart failure
This study tests a newer type of pacemaker that paces the heart's left bundle branch area, compared to the usual cardiac resynchronization therapy. It is for people with heart failure who need a combined pacemaker-defibrillator (CRT-D) and have a specific heart rhythm pattern (left bundle branch block) with reduced pumping strength.
Huntsville, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT04662970Recruiting
Imaging after a heart device to optimize pacing settings
This study uses a heart MRI (a special scan) to better map the heart’s electrical activity, with the goal of fine-tuning settings on your implanted pacing device. It’s meant to improve how well the device coordinates your heartbeat.
Innsbruck, TyrolAges 18 years+ - NCT06735521Recruiting
Heart MRI stress test for Fontan circulation
This study uses a special heart MRI with a medicine that stresses the heart (like exercise) to look at blood flow in people who have had the Fontan surgery. The goal is to better understand how the heart works after this surgery.
StockholmAges 18 years+ - NCT04844944Recruiting
Heart registry for adults with heart failure, CAD, or atrial fibrillation
This is a hospital-based study that collects standardized information about adults with specific heart conditions—heart failure, coronary artery disease, or atrial fibrillation. It may help doctors and researchers better understand these diseases and improve future care.
BerlinAges 18 years+ - NCT05520762Recruiting
Trial for patients after in-hospital cardiac arrest needing breathing support
This trial studies a hospital treatment for people who have a cardiac arrest while in the hospital and still need help breathing. It may help improve care right after this emergency by testing an airway resuscitation approach.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05564793Recruiting
Noninvasive heart mapping to improve CRT outcomes
This trial tests whether a special noninvasive heart “mapping” test done on the body can help improve outcomes for people who need a CRT device. It studies whether mapping before implantation can better guide or predict how well the CRT will work.
AmsterdamAges 18–85 - NCT01757730Recruiting
MRI test to measure soft tissue stiffness
This trial uses a special type of MRI to estimate how stiff certain soft tissues are in the body. You may benefit by helping doctors better measure tissue stiffness, which can relate to different health problems.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07252856Recruiting
Digital support for heart rehab (phase III)
This trial tests a digital tool to help people with heart disease continue their cardiac rehabilitation at home during the maintenance phase. It's for people who have already completed the earlier rehab phase and are ready for long-term support.
LeuvenAges 18 years+ - NCT06444425Enrolling by invitation
AI test for heart function using ultrasound
This trial uses artificial intelligence to analyze heart ultrasound images. It aims to see if AI can detect heart function better than standard methods. You may be eligible if you are a cardiology patient having an ultrasound and can return for extra blood pressure checks.
Yiwu, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT05628779Enrolling by invitation
Clip procedure to repair a leaking tricuspid valve
This trial studies a minimally invasive “edge-to-edge” clip procedure to reduce severe leakage of the tricuspid valve. It’s for people who still feel unwell despite standard treatments and may be too high-risk for open-heart surgery.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT06241651Recruiting
Comparing two types of pacemakers for heart failure patients
This trial tests if a new pacemaker method (CSP) works better than the standard method (BiVP) for people with heart failure who already have a right ventricular pacemaker and need an upgrade.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–80 - NCT03197350Recruiting
Study of heart failure with preserved pumping function
This study looks at people who have heart failure symptoms but whose heart pumping strength is not reduced. Researchers aim to better understand this type of heart failure and compare it with people who have no history of heart disease or heart failure.
BrusselsAges 18–99 - NCT07506499Recruiting
Cardiac Rehab for Hospitalized Heart Failure Patients
This study tests whether a cardiac rehabilitation program (a supervised exercise and education plan) helps people recovering in the hospital from severe heart failure. It is for those aged 45–65 whose heart pumps less than 40% of its normal amount.
Banī Suwayf, Beni-Suef GovernorateAges 45–65 - NCT07492979Recruiting
Pacemaker placement study for heart failure
This trial compares two types of pacemaker placement to improve heart function in people with heart failure. One method paces the heart's natural conduction system, while the other paces the lower chambers of the heart. The goal is to find which approach works better for heart resynchronization therapy.
AarhusAges 18–99 - NCT06149195Enrolling by invitation
Heart scan for managing heart failure
This trial tests a special heart scan (18F-MFBG) to see if it can help doctors better manage heart failure. You may qualify if you have chronic heart failure with a weak heart pump and are planning to get a defibrillator.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–80 - NCT05373940Recruiting
ICD placement to prevent sudden heart death in people over 70
This study looks at placing an ICD, a device that can stop dangerous heart rhythms, to help prevent sudden cardiac death. It is for people over 70 with specific heart function and heart failure symptoms.
Aix-en-ProvenceAges 70 years+ - NCT07685106Recruiting
Cardiostory device test for heart failure in shortness of breath
This trial tests if a device called Cardiostory can tell if your shortness of breath (dyspnea) is caused by heart failure or something else. It's for people who started having trouble breathing in the last week.
Monastir, Monastir GovernorateAges 18 years+ - NCT05972070Recruiting
Telemedicine home cardiac rehab after heart procedure
This trial studies whether cardiac rehabilitation done at home, with help from telemedicine, is safe and helps you stick with the program after a recent heart procedure. It may help you recover with more convenience while still improving heart-related fitness and adherence.
Brookfield, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT06479876Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for cardiac failure?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 190 recruiting cardiac 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 cardiac 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 cardiac 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.
