Can MRI predict brain recovery after cardiac arrest?
This study uses brain scans (MRI) to try to predict whether people who are still unconscious after a cardiac arrest will recover. It is looking for adults who are in a coma and have not woken up after being taken off sedation medicines for at least three days.
ToulouseAges 18 years+ - NCT06601842Recruiting
Brain blood flow monitoring after cardiac arrest
This study tests a way to monitor blood flow to the brain after a cardiac arrest that was not caused by trauma. It aims to help doctors find the best blood pressure to support brain recovery in the ICU.
TaipeiAges 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+ - NCT06580652Recruiting
Comparing airway devices during in-hospital cardiac arrest
This trial is comparing different ways to manage the airway (how you breathe) during a cardiac arrest that happens inside the hospital. It helps doctors decide which type of breathing device works best in an emergency.
Bath, BanesAges 18 years+ - NCT06572826Recruiting
Cardiac rehab after cardiogenic shock recovery
This study looks at whether a cardiac rehab program (exercise and education) can help people recover after being treated for cardiogenic shock, a life-threatening condition where the heart suddenly can't pump enough blood.
MilanAges 18–110 - NCT06576128Recruiting
Numbing injection for pain relief during heart procedures
This study tests whether an ultrasound-guided numbing injection in the belly wall can reduce pain during heart procedures like angioplasty or stent placement. It is for people having planned (non-emergency) heart catheterization.
IstanbulAges 18 years+ - NCT06575101Recruiting
Energy Use in Cardiac Arrest Patients During Temperature Control
This study will measure how much energy your body burns and what fuels it uses (like fat or sugar) during temperature management after a cardiac arrest. It aims to learn how to better support your recovery.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05689385Recruiting
Online cardiac rehab after a heart attack you can do at home
This trial tests an eHealth (phone or internet-based) cardiac rehabilitation program for people after a heart attack, meant to help you recover with safer activity guidance. It may fit you if you’re not able to go to a rehab clinic in person.
TaipeiAges 20 years+ - NCT06566625Recruiting
MRI before heart catheterization for heart attack
This trial compares using a cardiac MRI before the standard catheterization (angiogram) in people with a suspected heart attack that doesn't show the typical ECG changes. It aims to see if the MRI can help guide decisions and avoid unnecessary procedures.
Stockholm, SwedenAges 18 years+ - NCT06523166Recruiting
Comparing heart CT and ultrasound for Watchman device checking
This study compares two types of heart imaging (a CT scan and an ultrasound) to see how well they work at checking the Watchman device after it is placed. The goal is to see if the CT scan might be a good alternative to the standard ultrasound for follow-up.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04389463Recruiting
Study of heart surgery outcomes during COVID-19
This study looks at how people do after heart or chest surgery when they test positive for COVID-19. It may help doctors understand risks and outcomes for surgical patients during the pandemic.
NantesAges 18 years+ - NCT06511999Recruiting
Measuring brain oxygen after cardiac arrest
This study tests a special sensor placed in a neck vein to continuously measure oxygen levels in the blood returning from the brain after cardiac arrest. The goal is to help doctors better understand and protect brain function during recovery in the ICU.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06505109Recruiting
Better sleep and less stress for heart rehab patients
This study is testing a new program to help people in cardiac rehab improve their sleep and manage stress. It uses simple techniques and trackers to see if better rest and less stress can help your heart recovery.
Eindhoven, North BrabantAges 18 years+ - NCT06487585RecruitingPhase 4
Angiotensin II as first pressor after heart surgery
This trial tests if starting Angiotensin II early, instead of other blood pressure medications, can help heart surgery patients maintain safe blood pressure. It may be an option if you have low blood pressure after surgery despite receiving fluids.
Towson, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06473207Recruiting
Can a blood pressure cuff protect the brain after cardiac arrest?
This trial tests if a special blood pressure cuff (like a tourniquet) placed on the leg can protect the brain after a cardiac arrest. It is for patients who are unconscious and on a breathing machine after their heart restarts.
Toulon, VarAges 18 years+ - NCT06467968Recruiting
Heart analysis during DOTATOC PET/CT for neuroendocrine tumors
This study looks at how a PET/CT scan (called gallium-68 DOTATOC) can also check your heart health while scanning for a neuroendocrine tumor. It aims to see if the routine scan can give extra information about your heart function without any extra visits or radiation.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for cardiac?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,291 recruiting cardiac 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 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 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.
