This trial tests different methods of giving breaths (ventilation) to adults who have a cardiac arrest while in the hospital. It aims to find which approach works best to improve survival.
AabenraaAges 18 years+ - NCT07649616Enrolling by invitation
Training Law Enforcement to Use Heart-Restart Devices
This study helps police officers learn to use automated external defibrillators (AEDs)—machines that can restart a stopped heart during cardiac emergencies. The goal is to increase how often these devices are used and improve survival rates when officers respond to cardiac arrest calls.
Detroit, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT06401707RecruitingPhase 2
Seizure prevention after cardiac arrest
This study tests a seizure-prevention medicine called perampanel for people whose hearts stopped beating (cardiac arrest) and are now in the ICU. The goal is to see if it helps prevent seizures that can happen after such an event.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05961748Recruiting
Brain and heart illness registry for adults in China
This study is a registry that collects health information from adults who have certain new heart and/or brain conditions. It may help researchers understand how these problems occur together and improve future care planning.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05851391RecruitingPhase 2
Test drug treatment to stop hard-to-control seizures after cardiac arrest
This Phase 2 trial tests a medication strategy to stop “refractory status epilepticus,” a severe seizure condition that can happen after a cardiac arrest. It may help by reducing ongoing seizure activity after return of circulation in the ICU.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06048796Recruiting
Early stopping of sedation after cardiac arrest with normal EEG
This study is testing whether it is safe to stop sedation and temperature management early in cardiac arrest patients who have a normal-looking brain wave test (EEG). If you qualify, you would stop sedation sooner than usual, which may help you wake up faster.
Arnhem, GelderlandAges 18 years+ - NCT05373498Recruiting
Registry for children’s heart emergencies after resuscitation
This trial is a registry that collects information about children (under 18) who have congenital heart problems and need resuscitation with chest compressions. It helps doctors understand these emergencies and may improve future care for similar patients.
Leipzig, SaxonyAges Up to 18 years - NCT05142124Recruiting
Registry of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest cases
This study collects information about people who had a cardiac arrest outside the hospital, where it is thought to be from a heart or blood-vessel cause. It helps researchers understand what happens and may improve future care, even though it is mainly about collecting data.
Berlin, State of BerlinAges 18 years+ - NCT03544489Recruiting
Exercise program after ICD implant
This trial studies whether adding a structured exercise program after an ICD implant is safe and helpful for people with certain heart rhythm problems. You may qualify if you can comfortably walk daily and can follow the study schedule for several months.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18 years+ - NCT04158479Recruiting
Registry for people on ECMO life support
This registry collects information about people who are placed on ECMO, a heart-lung machine used to support breathing and/or circulation. It may help doctors better understand who benefits and how to manage ECMO in the future.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT05321459Recruiting
Testing outcome prediction in comatose patients after cardiac arrest
This study looks at tests that may help predict outcomes in people who remain in a coma 3 to 7 days after surviving a cardiac arrest. It may help doctors better estimate recovery and guide care decisions.
BobignyAges 18 years+ - NCT06159764Recruiting
Registry of nerve-targeting heart treatment for fainting
This registry tracks people who receive a heart procedure called cardioneuroablation to stop severe fainting spells. The procedure targets nerve signals that cause the heart to pause, and researchers want to learn how well it works in real-world patients.
BronAges 18–100 - NCT06530641RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing heart protection solutions during major heart surgery
This trial compares two types of cardioplegia (a solution that stops your heart during surgery) to see which one leads to better outcomes. It is for adults undergoing major heart surgery with a heart-lung machine.
Madrid, MadridAges 18 years+ - NCT02860364Recruiting
Checking different cooling levels during part of heart surgery
This trial compares two cooling temperatures during an “aortic hemiarch” operation to see which approach is safer and better for brain protection. It may help guide surgeons on the best cooling strategy for some planned heart surgeries.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07096973Recruiting
Heart rehab recovery study in Davos
This study looks at how people recover during heart rehabilitation at a clinic in Davos. By tracking your progress, researchers hope to learn what helps people get better.
Davos, Kanton GraubündenAges 18 years+ - NCT03793257Recruiting
ECMO patient registry for adults in Australia and New Zealand
This is a research registry for adults who need a breathing and/or heart support machine called ECMO while in the hospital. It collects information to better understand who receives ECMO and how patients do over time.
Canberra, Australian Capital TerritoryAges 18 years+ - NCT06327334Recruiting
Brain-heart interaction study after cardiac arrest
This study looks at how the brain and heart interact after a cardiac arrest that leaves someone unconscious. It aims to understand these connections better, which could help improve care for future patients.
Brest, Brittany RegionAges 18 years+ - NCT07444931Recruiting
Predicting cardiac arrest risk in heart disease patients
This study looks at factors that may help predict sudden cardiac arrest in people with coronary artery disease. If you have a recent diagnosis of significant blockage or a heart attack, joining this trial could help improve risk assessment.
HaderaAges 18–75 - NCT07285915Recruiting
Stress and Cortisol in Cardiac Arrest
This study looks at how stress (specifically the hormone cortisol) affects people during a cardiac arrest. It may help doctors understand and improve care.
Pilsen, Czech RepublicAges 18–100 - NCT03049254Recruiting
Registry and blood/tissue study for certain sudden heart death causes
This study builds a registry and collection of samples to better understand families affected by sudden heart death and related heart rhythm problems that are not clearly caused by a heart attack. It may help researchers identify patterns and improve future care, and it offers a way for patients and families to contribute to research.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges Any age - NCT04493970Recruiting
