Recruiting studies
- NCT06077422Enrolling by invitationPhase 2/Phase 3
Comparing two pain blocks for heart surgery recovery
This trial compares two types of pain blocks (Exparel vs. Marcaine) given during heart surgery to see which one provides better pain relief. If you are scheduled for a heart surgery through a small or full chest incision, you may be able to join.
New Brunswick, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT07048808RecruitingPhase 2
Gene therapy for chronic chest pain
This trial tests a new gene therapy (XC001) delivered through a thin tube into your heart's blood vessels. It aims to grow new blood vessels to relieve chest pain in people with chronic angina who have no other treatment options.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 18–85 - NCT07174206Recruiting
Smartwatch monitoring for heart patients
This trial tests a smartwatch tool to track heart rhythm and detect problems in people with heart disease. It may help find irregular heartbeats early during routine checkups.
São Paulo, São PauloAges 22 years+ - NCT06908759Recruiting
Fall risk in older adults after heart rehab
This study looks at whether a special cardiac rehab program can help older adults who recently had a heart event improve their balance and reduce their risk of falling. It's designed for people age 65 and older who are now stable enough to begin rehab.
Rome, RMAges 65 years+ - NCT06410157Recruiting
Mindfulness for heart-brain health in adults 50-70
This study tests whether a daily mindfulness practice can help older adults improve how their heart and brain work together. You will do breathing exercises at home and come to USC twice for check-ups, including blood and urine tests and an MRI.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 50–70 - NCT06108414RecruitingPhase 4
Low-dose vs standard-dose blood thinner for older adults with atrial fibrillation
This trial tests whether a lower dose of the blood thinner rivaroxaban works as well as the standard dose for people 70 and older with atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat). The goal is to find the safest dose to prevent strokes while reducing bleeding risks.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 70 years+ - NCT07468383Recruiting
Catheter ablation for slow heart rate study
This study tests a catheter procedure to treat a slow heart rate (bradycardia) that causes symptoms like dizziness or fainting. It may be an option for people who haven't had a pacemaker and whose heart can still speed up with medication.
Beijing, ChinaAges 18–65 - NCT07298122Recruiting
Heart imaging for hidden clots in ESUS stroke with left ventricular disease
This study uses advanced heart scans (MRI or CT) to look for blood clots in the heart of people who had a stroke with an unclear cause, specifically if they also have a mild heart condition affecting the left ventricle. The goal is to find hidden clots that might be causing strokes.
Milan, LombardyAges 18 years+ - NCT07360899Recruiting
Closing the left atrial appendage during heart surgery to prevent stroke
This trial tests if closing the left atrial appendage with a special stitch during planned heart surgery can help prevent strokes in people with atrial fibrillation. If you already need heart surgery, this extra step may reduce your future stroke risk.
Kamenitz, VojvodinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06670768Recruiting
Comparing two heart imaging tests for blocked arteries
This trial compares two heart imaging tests (SPECT and coronary CTA) to see if a newer method gives a clearer picture of blood flow. If you have been referred for one of these tests, you may be able to help by also having the other test done at no extra risk.
Budapest, BudapestAges 18 years+ - NCT04289142RecruitingPhase 4
Testing memory effects of dexmedetomidine during heart surgery
This study looks at how a sleep medicine called dexmedetomidine affects thinking and memory after heart surgery. It compares cognitive outcomes over time to see if this sedation choice changes long-term brain function.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 60 years+ - NCT07201363Recruiting
Inflammation and scarring markers after TAVI
This study looks at markers of inflammation and scarring in people who develop heart rhythm problems after having a TAVI procedure (a minimally invasive valve replacement). It may help doctors understand and predict these complications.
Rijeka, CroatiaAges 18 years+

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for cardiac valve disease?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 132 recruiting cardiac valve 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 valve 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 valve 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.
