This study examines why Black men and women have different heart disease risk factors, focusing on weight, cholesterol levels, and diabetes risk. Researchers want to understand these differences to help prevent heart disease in Black communities.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–70 - NCT02543996Recruiting
Providing blood or tissue samples to study disease
This study collects and stores biological samples (like blood and cord blood) to help researchers understand what causes disease. You may be asked to provide samples during pregnancy, delivery, or from an affected person, depending on eligibility.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 1 month–100 years - NCT00943514Recruiting
Study of bronchiectasis and why infections keep coming back
This study follows children (age 5+) and adults with bronchiectasis or ongoing/repeated lung infections to learn what makes infections more likely. It mainly looks at non–cystic fibrosis causes, but may include some related conditions to compare differences.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 5–100 - NCT00001532Recruiting
How Genes Affect Lung Disease Development
This research study examines how genetic factors contribute to various lung diseases, including alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, cystic fibrosis, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Researchers want to understand why some people develop lung disease and how genetics plays a role, which may help improve treatment in the future.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2–90 - NCT00081523Recruiting
Understanding How Sickle Cell Disease Develops Over Time
This research study follows people with sickle cell disease to learn how the condition affects their health over many years. By studying patients regularly, researchers hope to better understand the disease and improve care.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2–90 - NCT03538639Recruiting
Study blood and tissue samples for vascular disease discovery
This study collects blood (and sometimes tissue samples) from people who may have vascular (blood vessel) problems and from certain pregnant participants. Researchers use the samples to better understand vascular disease and to help guide future research.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2–100 - NCT07258290Recruiting
Freesolve Magnesium Scaffold for Heart Artery Blockages
This trial tests a new dissolvable magnesium scaffold to treat blockages in heart arteries. It is designed for people with stable heart pain or certain recent heart attacks, and it aims to open blocked arteries and then slowly dissolve over time.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18–80 - NCT05918211RecruitingPhase 3
Udenafil test during exercise for teens with Fontan circulation
This trial tests whether udenafil helps teens and young people with Fontan circulation do better on exercise and breathing-related measures over time. You’d need to be on blood-thinning medicine, and be able to complete exercise testing safely.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 12–18 - NCT06952933Recruiting
Trauma and resilience in adults with congenital heart disease
This study surveys adults with congenital heart disease to understand how psychological trauma and resilience affect their health. You would complete online questionnaires about your experiences and coping.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 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. If you qualify, you'll either get the heart pump plus standard medical therapy, or continue with standard therapy alone and have your pressure monitored remotely.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT04604418Recruiting
Tracking outcomes during non-heart procedures in children with heart defects
This study looks at how children with congenital heart disease do during routine non-heart procedures, including medical or minor treatments that are not heart-related. It also measures how much health care they use afterward, which may help improve care planning for families.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges Up to 21 years - NCT04451044Enrolling by invitation
Guided heart stent planning using an inside pressure sensor
This study tests whether using a tiny pressure sensor in heart arteries during a procedure can better guide where to place a stent. It may help doctors choose the safest and most effective stent plan by more accurately measuring artery narrowing.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT04141605Enrolling by invitation
Heart transplant candidates matched for better heart preservation
This study creates a worldwide registry and information database to help improve how donor hearts are preserved for transplant. If you are a heart transplant candidate, your details may be recorded to see what matching and preservation approaches work best.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges Any age - NCT07078344RecruitingPhase 2
Omega-3 study for healthy African American and European American adults
This study tests whether taking omega-3 supplements can improve health and reduce diet-related differences between African American and European American adults. You would take daily capsules and visit the clinic regularly for about 6 months.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18–64 - NCT05610787Enrolling by invitation
Testing a device that helps move an EXCOR pediatric heart pump
This trial studies an “active driving” system that controls the EXCOR pediatric heart pump. It’s meant for children who need a heart pump as a bridge to heart transplantation, to help the pump work more safely and effectively.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges Up to 21 years - NCT06675448Recruiting
Best practices for heart failure with leaky mitral valve
This trial compares two treatment approaches for people with heart failure and a leaky mitral valve (mitral regurgitation). It aims to find which strategy leads to better outcomes. You may be eligible if your heart function is reduced and you have symptoms despite standard treatments.
Falls Church, VirginiaAges 18–99 - NCT07023666RecruitingPhase 2
Early heart screening and treatment for sickle cell disease
This trial tests early screening and treatment to prevent heart problems in people with sickle cell disease. It focuses on those with high iron levels or heart symptoms, using regular heart imaging to monitor and treat complications early.
Falls Church, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07613294RecruitingPhase 3
Testing lepodisiran to reduce heart plaque buildup
This study tests whether a new medicine called lepodisiran can shrink plaque in heart arteries for adults with high Lp(a) (a type of cholesterol linked to heart disease) who have had a heart event or are at serious risk. The trial uses CT scans to monitor changes in your arteries.
Falls Church, VirginiaAges 45–80 - NCT04073420Recruiting
Cardiac surgery registry to track Medtronic device outcomes
This registry collects real-world information from people who have had—or plan to have—an eligible Medtronic cardiac surgery device. It aims to better understand how these treatments do over time and help guide future care.

What taking part in a heart diseases study involves
A screening visit first
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
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
