Copenhagen, CopenhagenAges 18 years+ - NCT01099982Recruiting
Studying heart tissue and blood changes after advanced heart care
This trial studies how blood and heart tissue change in people with advanced heart failure who are getting an LVAD (a heart pump) or a heart transplant. It may help doctors better understand what’s happening in the heart before and after these treatments.
Murray, UtahAges 13 years+ - NCT05089162Recruiting
Testing a heart ultrasound approach in chronic heart failure
This study looks at people with chronic heart failure with weaker pumping function and checks how well a lung/heart ultrasound can assess congestion (fluid buildup). If you qualify, you may help test a better way to evaluate your condition during a planned hospital visit.
Vandœuvre-lès-NancyAges 18 years+ - NCT04343430Recruiting
Hospital study for fluid buildup in heart failure with preserved heart function
This study looks at how well doctors can assess fluid buildup before you leave the hospital if you have a type of heart failure called “preserved ejection fraction.” It may help improve decisions about when and how safely people are discharged.
Vandœuvre-lès-NancyAges 18 years+ - NCT04343443Recruiting
Test whether a lung ultrasound helps discharge planning after heart failure
This study looks at people hospitalized for worsening heart failure with weaker pumping (reduced ejection fraction). It tests whether a lung ultrasound evaluation near discharge can improve how doctors decide it is safe to send you home.
Vandœuvre-lès-NancyAges 18 years+ - NCT05089149Recruiting
Check how lung ultrasound helps manage heart failure congestion
This study looks at people with long-term worsening heart failure who are coming to the hospital for a planned visit, to see how checking “congestion” (fluid buildup) may guide care. It may help the team understand whether lung ultrasound can better assess who needs treatment changes.
Vandœuvre-lès-NancyAges 18 years+ - NCT05097898Recruiting
Check fluid buildup in heart failure with normal pumping
This study evaluates how well doctors can assess “fluid congestion” in people with chronic heart failure where the heart’s squeezing is still preserved. It may help improve how patients are monitored during hospital visits.
Vandœuvre-lès-NancyAges 18 years+ - NCT07101289Recruiting
Eat Well Heart Failure Coaching Study
This study is testing a virtual health coaching program that helps people with heart failure eat better when they have trouble affording food. The program may help prevent future hospital stays and improve your health.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06977477Recruiting
Managing fluid buildup in heart failure patients
This study tests a new way to manage fluid buildup in patients with a specific type of heart failure (HFpEF) who are in the hospital. It aims to improve how doctors remove excess fluid and help you feel better.
Magdeburg, Saxony-AnhaltAges 18 years+ - NCT07345156Recruiting
Congestion and lactate at discharge in heart failure
This trial studies a simple test (lung ultrasound and a blood test for lactate) done right before you leave the hospital for heart failure. It aims to see if these tests help doctors know how well you are recovering and if you might need extra care after discharge.
Monastir, Monastir GovernorateAges 18 years+ - NCT06587854Recruiting
Study on fluid congestion in acute heart failure patients
This study looks at different patterns of fluid buildup in people with acute heart failure. It aims to understand how these patterns relate to treatment with water pills (diuretics) and may help improve care.
GroningenAges 18 years+ - NCT06595290Recruiting
Faster medication increase for heart failure with weak pumping
This trial tests a new, faster way to increase heart failure medications during a hospital stay, aiming to get patients on the right doses sooner. It is for people with weak heart pumping (ejection fraction 40% or less) who are currently in the hospital for heart failure and are on low doses of standard medications.
Long Xuyen, An GiangAges 18–75 - NCT07682298Recruiting
Measuring leftover fluid in hospitalized heart failure patients
This study looks at how well we can measure leftover fluid in the body in people hospitalized for heart failure with fluid overload. It aims to help doctors better manage treatment and improve recovery.
AarhusAges 18 years+ - NCT04332692Recruiting
Check if a lung ultrasound helps evaluate discharge after heart failure
This study looks at whether doing lung ultrasounds can better assess people right before they leave the hospital after an acute heart failure flare. It may help doctors decide when someone is ready for discharge and tailor care to reduce risk after leaving.
Vandœuvre-lès-NancyAges 18 years+ - NCT05507879Recruiting
Breast cancer heart monitoring to predict heart damage risk
This trial studies how a blood test marker (TRPC6) may help predict and prevent heart muscle damage and heart failure related to some breast cancer medicines. You may join if you’re starting or have received treatment that can stress the heart, or if you already have signs of treatment-related heart problems.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07730827Recruiting
Community program for better heart failure care
This study tests whether a program that connects you with community health workers and your care team can help you manage heart failure better. It looks at things like your living situation, medical needs, and social support to make your care more fair and personalized.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT07550790Recruiting
Preventing kidney injury during heart failure imaging scans
This study tests whether a specific water-based medication can prevent kidney damage when patients with acute heart failure need a CT scan with contrast dye. The trial focuses on people with mild-to-moderate kidney problems who are hospitalized for fluid buildup in the heart.
Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi-doAges 20 years+ - NCT07705269Recruiting
High-rate fluid removal for fluid overload in dialysis patients
This trial tests whether a faster rate of fluid removal during dialysis can help hospitalized patients with end-stage kidney disease who have severe fluid buildup. It aims to reduce fluid congestion and improve outcomes.
Monterrey, Nuevo LeónAges 18 years+ - NCT02998788Recruiting
