Heart imaging study for arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy
This study uses a special type of heart scan (FAPI PET/CT) to better visualize and understand arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC), a condition where the heart muscle weakens and causes irregular heartbeats. The scan may help doctors understand the disease better and improve patient care.
Istanbul, FatihAges 18 years+ - NCT07563998Recruiting

New Heart Scan to Detect Blood Clots in Amyloid Heart Disease
This study tests a new type of imaging scan ([64Cu]FBP8 PET) to detect blood clots that may form in the heart's left atrial appendage (a small pouch in the heart) in patients with amyloid cardiomyopathy (a disease where abnormal protein builds up in heart muscle) who also have irregular heartbeat. The scan may help doctors catch clots earlier and prevent strokes.

GLP-1 medication's effect on nerve damage in type 2 diabetes
This study tests whether a GLP-1 medication (a type of diabetes drug) can help protect nerves in the heart from damage caused by diabetes. If you have type 2 diabetes and are overweight, this trial might help researchers understand if this medication improves how your heart's nervous system works.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–70 - NCT07554820RecruitingPhase 4
Heart Protection in Rheumatoid Arthritis With New Medications
This study compares two treatment approaches for people with active rheumatoid arthritis who also have heart disease risk factors. It tests whether a newer drug called tofacitinib, combined with cholesterol medication, can better protect the heart than traditional TNF-inhibitor treatments.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 50–85 - NCT06361238RecruitingPhase 3
Liraglutide to prevent confusion after heart surgery in seniors with diabetes
This trial is testing if liraglutide, a diabetes medication, can prevent delirium (sudden confusion) in older adults with type 2 diabetes who are having planned heart surgery. If you qualify, you may help find a new way to protect brain function after surgery.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 60 years+ - NCT07537868RecruitingPhase 2
Montelukast to reduce heart damage after heart attack
This study tests whether montelukast (a medication that reduces inflammation) can limit heart damage when given immediately after a sudden heart attack. Researchers will measure inflammation markers and heart injury to see if this drug helps patients recover better.
Al MansurahAges 30–75 - NCT07533214Enrolling by invitation
Left-Handed Endoscopic Mitral Surgery Training Program
This trial tests a specialized training program designed specifically for left-handed surgeons learning minimally invasive heart valve surgery. The goal is to help left-handed surgeons develop the precise hand skills needed to perform these delicate procedures using specially adapted equipment and techniques.
PortugalAges Any age - NCT07528586Recruiting
Heart Imaging Study During Cancer Drug Treatment
This study uses heart imaging scans and blood tests to check if a common cancer drug (anthracycline) is affecting your heart during treatment. Early detection might help doctors protect your heart health.
StuttgartAges 18 years+ - NCT06385834Recruiting
Morning vs Evening Exercise After Heart Attack
This study compares the effects of doing aerobic exercise in the morning versus the evening for people who recently had a heart attack. It aims to see if timing of exercise can help the heart recover and function better.
ShanghaiAges 17–75 - NCT07524998Recruiting
Surgery outcomes for complex heart defects across ages
This study tracks how children and adults with complex heart defects fare after surgery. Researchers want to understand what surgical techniques work best at different ages and how patients recover long-term.
BeijingAges Any age - NCT07516236Recruiting
Using blood oxygen levels to guide fluid treatment in septic shock
This trial is studying whether a measure of oxygen in your blood (called SvO2) can help doctors decide if giving you more fluids will help improve your blood pressure during septic shock. The goal is to make fluid treatment more precise and avoid giving too much fluid.
MenoufAges 18 years+ - 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.
ThessalonikiAges 2–24 - NCT07515508Recruiting
Understanding heart failure patterns in hospitalized patients
This study investigates different types of acute heart failure in hospitalized patients to better understand their condition and improve treatment. Researchers will use multiple imaging and testing methods to create a detailed picture of each patient's heart failure.
Bad KrozingenAges 18 years+ - NCT07503236Recruiting
Study of a new device for leaking heart valves
This trial tests a new device designed to fix a leaky mitral valve in people with heart failure. It may help you breathe easier and feel less tired if your valve leak is severe and medicines have not been enough.

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.
