This trial tests whether checking in remotely (telemonitoring) helps doctors adjust heart failure medications more effectively. It is for people newly diagnosed with heart failure who have reduced pumping strength and signs of fluid buildup.
Hong Kong, Hong KongAges 19 years+ - NCT06374277Recruiting
Pharmacy Coaching to Help After Hospital Stay
This study tests a program where a pharmacist helps you manage your medications after you leave the hospital. It is for people with long-term health conditions who want to stay on track with their medicines.
Knoxville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT06726109Recruiting
FOCUS study on acute heart failure
This trial is studying patients admitted to the hospital for acute heart failure. It will collect information to better understand and treat people with low heart pumping strength (ejection fraction less than 40%) and fluid retention.
Genk, BelgiumAges Any age - NCT07809516Recruiting
Pedal pump for leg swelling
This trial tests a device called a 'pedal pump' that helps move fluid out of your legs to reduce swelling. It may help if you have fluid buildup from conditions like heart failure or kidney disease.
Tulsa, OklahomaAges 18 years+ - NCT07760363Recruiting
Foot exercise device for leg swelling
This study tests if using a foot pedal device while lying down can help reduce leg swelling in the hospital. It aims to see if this simple exercise can improve comfort and outcomes for people with fluid buildup.
Tulsa, OklahomaAges 18 years+ - NCT05971225Recruiting
Testing remote heart monitoring to improve heart outcomes
This study checks whether starting remote wireless heart monitoring for people with heart failure helps improve important heart outcomes. It may help your care team catch warning signs earlier by receiving your heart data from home.
Suwon, Kyonggi DoAges 20 years+ - NCT07400042Recruiting
Peripheral vein pressure test for heart failure patients
This study tests if measuring pressure from a vein in the arm can help guide treatment for people hospitalized with worsening heart failure. It aims to understand if this simple procedure could replace or reduce the need for more invasive monitoring.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT03994874RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing fluid removal through the belly in heart-kidney failure
This trial studies a treatment that removes extra fluid through a catheter placed in the abdomen (peritoneal ultrafiltration) for people with “cardio-renal syndrome” (heart and kidney problems together). It may help those who stay congested despite high-dose water pills (diuretics) and have certain heart circulation and fluid signs.
ChietiAges 18 years+ - NCT06973902Recruiting
A study on heart pump therapy and stress echo for advanced heart failure
This trial tests how well a heart stress ultrasound (dobutamine echo) can predict if you will get better from a special heart device called cardiac contractility modulation (CCM). CCM is a pacemaker-like implant for people with advanced heart failure who still have symptoms even with the best medicines. The study will help doctors know which patients benefit the most from this device.
Marcianise, CampaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT00733590Recruiting
Study after ICD generator replacement for heart attack patients
This study follows people who had a prior heart attack and later received a replacement ICD (a device that helps prevent sudden dangerous heart rhythms). It is observational, meaning it mainly looks at outcomes and device-related information rather than testing a new drug.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18–85 - NCT03836482Recruiting
SCD test for people with heart and kidney failure awaiting LVAD
This study looks at whether a treatment called SCD is safe and workable in people who have worsening heart failure along with kidney problems, and who are waiting to get an LVAD (a mechanical heart pump). It is mainly a feasibility study, meaning the researchers want to see if this approach can be used in real hospital care and monitor effects on key health measures.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT02610426Recruiting
Genetic testing to study who develops heart failure during breast cancer therapy
This study uses DNA genetic testing to find DNA changes that might explain why some people develop heart failure (CHF) after breast cancer treatment with certain medicines. It may help researchers understand risk and improve care for future patients.
Boston, MassachusettsAges Any age - NCT00181259Recruiting
MRI scan study of heart muscle chemistry
This trial uses a special MRI scan to look at how the heart muscle uses fuel. It may help researchers understand heart conditions like dilated cardiomyopathy and coronary artery disease, especially in people with reduced heart pumping.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06630923RecruitingPhase 3
Preventing kidney worsening with IV albumin in heart failure
This trial tests if giving a medicine called albumin through a vein can help prevent kidney function from getting worse in people hospitalized with worsening heart failure and liver problems. It may be an option if other treatments haven't worked.
Alexandroupoli, EvrosAges 18–95 - NCT06754475Recruiting
Low volume arm HIIT for heart failure patients
This trial tests if short, high-intensity arm exercises can help people with stable heart failure. It looks at safety and improvements in daily function.
