IstanbulAges 65 years+ - NCT06343844Recruiting
Heart attack recovery differences between men and women
This study looks at how men and women recover differently after a first heart attack. By comparing heart function over time, researchers hope to find better ways to treat each gender.
AngersAges 18 years+ - NCT06346132Recruiting
Does virtual reality help during heart device surgery?
This study tests if wearing a virtual reality headset during a heart device implant or battery change helps you feel more comfortable and relaxed. The surgery is done under local anesthesia (numbing medicine) while you stay awake, and you go home the same day.
Lugano, Canton TicinoAges 18 years+ - NCT06347276Recruiting
PFO closure and brain microemboli study
This trial looks at whether closing a small hole in the heart (PFO) can reduce tiny clots traveling to the brain. It includes people who have had a stroke or migraine, and also those without symptoms but with high-risk features.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–65 - NCT06349941RecruitingPhase 3
Heart failure rehab from home using video visits
This study tests whether a home-based cardiac rehab program using video visits and a smartphone app can help people with heart failure recover and feel better. It may be a good option if you have been hospitalized for heart failure recently and want to take part in rehab from home.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06350994Recruiting
Early Heart Check After CAR-T Cell Treatment
This study checks your heart function early after CAR-T cell cancer treatment. It uses a quick heart ultrasound to look for changes soon after the infusion.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT06358391Recruiting
Comparing two needles for left atrial access in heart procedures
This trial compares two devices used to create a small opening in the wall between the upper chambers of the heart so doctors can reach the left side to treat heart rhythm problems or other conditions. It may help if you need a left atrial procedure and are healthy enough for the puncture.
Bucheon-siAges 18 years+ - NCT06360939Recruiting
Radiation or ablation for ventricular tachycardia in heart disease
This trial compares two treatments—radiation therapy or catheter ablation—for people with structural heart disease who have a type of fast heart rhythm called ventricular tachycardia. It aims to see which approach works better to prevent repeat episodes.
WestmeadAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT06361784Recruiting
Heart-Sparing Radiation for Stage 3 Lung Cancer
This study tests a new way of planning radiation therapy for stage 3 lung cancer. By carefully mapping the heart's structure, doctors aim to protect it from radiation and improve treatment safety.
MilanAges Any age - NCT06369818Recruiting
Heart output measurement in shock patients on life support
This study tests if a new way of measuring heart function (using sound waves and breath analysis) works well in patients who are in severe heart failure and need a heart-lung machine. It might help doctors better monitor patients after heart surgery.
MünsterAges 18 years+ - NCT06377449Recruiting
Lung ultrasound for better outcomes after heart surgery
This study tests whether using ultrasound to look at the lungs during and after heart surgery helps improve recovery. You may be eligible if you are having open-heart surgery with a heart-lung machine and meet certain health criteria.
Saint Petersburg, Sankt-PeterburgAges 18 years+ - NCT06385834Recruiting

Stopping blood thinners after heart surgery for atrial fibrillation
This trial tests whether it is safe for patients with atrial fibrillation to stop taking blood thinners after they have had heart surgery, including closure of the left atrial appendage. The goal is to see if these patients can avoid long-term medication without increasing the risk of stroke.
Copenhagen, Capital RegionAges 18 years+ - NCT06405581Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for cardiac?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,328 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.
