AalborgAges 18 years+ - NCT02638142Recruiting
Testing IV diuretic treatment for sudden worsening heart failure
This trial studies how an IV (into-the-vein) “water pill” (furosemide/loop diuretic) works in people whose heart failure has suddenly gotten worse. It may help doctors find the best way to reduce fluid-related symptoms like breathing trouble and swelling.
Chioggia, VeneziaAges 18 years+ - NCT07552142Recruiting
Heart Failure Check-In: Using Questionnaires to Spot Early Warning Signs
This study asks heart failure patients who recently were hospitalized to answer regular questionnaires about how they're feeling. Researchers want to see if these questions can detect when heart failure is getting worse before a patient needs emergency care.
Moscow, Non-US/Non-CanadianAges 18 years+ - NCT06218199RecruitingPhase 4
Diuretics vs. blood pressure meds for HeartLogic alerts
This trial compares two treatments—diuretics (water pills) and a blood pressure medication called sacubitril/valsartan—to see which works better when your heart device sends an alert. It's for people with a Boston Scientific heart device that has HeartLogic alerting turned on.
Huntsville, AlabamaAges 19 years+ - NCT06927440Enrolling by invitation
Registry for children with severe heart failure in China
This study is creating a registry to learn more about children with advanced heart failure. It will help doctors understand who can benefit from treatments like medicine, devices, or transplants.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges Up to 18 years - NCT04329234Recruiting
Heart failure registry study of hospitalized adults
This study collects information from adults hospitalized with heart failure to better understand the condition and outcomes. It may help doctors improve care over time by tracking symptoms, test results, and treatments.
SeongnamAges 18 years+ - NCT06475105RecruitingPhase 4
Acetazolamide and Furosemide for Acute Heart Failure
This trial tests whether adding an oral water pill (acetazolamide) to standard IV furosemide helps people with acute heart failure who have fluid overload. It aims to see if the combination improves outcomes better than furosemide alone.
Semarang, Central JavaAges 18 years+ - NCT07499661Recruiting
Study of blood clots in the lungs with heart failure
This study looks at whether a blood clot in the lungs (pulmonary embolism) is a hidden cause in patients who are hospitalized for acute heart failure. It involves additional imaging tests to find a clot if present, which could change your treatment.
AgenAges 18 years+ - NCT07099859RecruitingPhase 4
Losartan after aortic valve surgery for severe leakage
This trial tests if the drug losartan can help the heart recover better after surgery to replace a leaky aortic valve. It may reduce strain on the heart and improve long-term outcomes.
São Paulo, São PauloAges 18–85 - NCT07016815Recruiting
Remote monitoring to adjust heart failure medications
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 - 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - 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 - 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 - 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+ - NCT06166654RecruitingPhase 4
Better water pill therapy for acute heart failure
This trial tests different water pill (diuretic) strategies for people hospitalized with acute heart failure and too much fluid. It is designed for patients who may not respond well to standard water pills, to find a more effective way to relieve symptoms.
Hvidovre, Capital Region of DenmarkAges 18 years+ - NCT05525663Recruiting
Rehab for older adults after heart failure with strong pumping
This trial studies whether a physical rehabilitation program helps older adults recover and function better after a recent hospital stay for heart failure when the heart’s pumping strength is preserved. It may help you regain walking ability and daily independence after your episode.
