Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - 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.

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.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 40–75 - 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.

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
