AI Screening for Heart Calcium from Chest CT Scans
This research study uses an artificial intelligence program to screen old chest CT scans for calcium buildup in the heart arteries. If you are between 40 and 75 and have had a chest CT in the last 3 years, this may help identify if you are at risk for heart disease so you can take steps to prevent it.

Oxford study using non-invasive imaging to learn risk factors
This study looks at factors that can predict health risks and uses non-invasive imaging (no major procedures) to collect information. It may help researchers better understand who is at higher risk over time and why.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–99 - NCT01524276Recruiting
Registry to track outcomes of Medtronic medical devices

Boston, MassachusettsAges 40–65 - NCT06526195Recruiting
A study of CardioMEMS and HeartMate 3 for advanced heart failure
This trial tests if a combination of a tiny lung-artery pressure sensor (CardioMEMS) and a mechanical heart pump (HeartMate 3) is safe and effective for people with advanced heart failure. If you qualify, you'll either get the heart pump plus standard medical therapy, or continue with standard therapy alone and have your pressure monitored remotely.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07087431Recruiting

Boston, MassachusettsAges 40–80 - NCT07136012RecruitingPhase 3
Olpasiran trial to lower Lp(a) and prevent first heart attack or stroke
This trial tests if olpasiran can lower a type of cholesterol called Lp(a) to help prevent a first major heart attack, stroke, or other heart problems. It is for people at higher risk due to risk factors or early signs of artery disease, but who have not yet had a heart attack or stroke.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 50–105 - NCT07064473RecruitingPhase 3
Testing vicadrostat plus empagliflozin for diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease
This study tests a new pill called vicadrostat taken with another medicine (empagliflozin) to see if it helps people with type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease. It may reduce the risk of heart problems, but you must not have had heart failure or use certain other heart medications.
Malden, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07783802RecruitingPhase 2
Study of clazakizumab for adults with high inflammation and heart risk
This study tests whether clazakizumab can reduce the risk of heart attacks or strokes in people with high levels of inflammation (measured by a blood test called hsCRP) and conditions like heart disease, obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, or kidney disease. If you qualify, you'll receive either the study drug or a placebo to see if it helps lower your risk.

What taking part in a cardiovascular diseases study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
