Recruiting studies near Houston
- NCT06153459Recruiting
Delayed cord clamping for babies with heart disease
This study looks at how long to wait before clamping the umbilical cord in babies born with a heart condition. It helps doctors understand the best timing for these newborns.
Houston, TexasAges 9 months–10 months - 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.
Houston, TexasAges Up to 21 years - NCT02061436Recruiting

Houston, TexasAges 12–18 - NCT06911632Recruiting
AI-assisted check for pulmonary hypertension in interstitial lung disease
This study uses an AI tool to help doctors decide if you should be tested for pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs), which can be a complication of interstitial lung disease. If the tool suggests you might have it, you may get an echocardiogram (an ultrasound of the heart) and a right heart catheterization (a test to measure pressure in the heart) to find out for sure.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07288216RecruitingPhase 2
Switching to KPL-387 alone for well-controlled pericarditis
This study tests whether a new drug, KPL-387, can keep your pericarditis under control as your only treatment, after you have been stable on other medicines. It is for people whose pericarditis is well controlled now but who have had flares in the past.
Houston, TexasAges 18–80 - NCT06854458Recruiting
Stress heart MRI for better diagnosis of heart artery disease
This study uses a special stress heart MRI to measure blood flow and find blockages in the arteries that supply your heart. It is for people with chest pain or abnormal EKG results who have risk factors for heart disease, to help doctors diagnose and treat coronary artery disease more accurately.
Houston, TexasAges 35–85 - NCT03209583Recruiting
Test of fast-pacing therapy for congenital heart rhythm issues
This trial studies whether a device-based fast pacing therapy (called ATP) can better treat certain rapid heart rhythm problems in people born with a heart condition. It may help prevent or reduce episodes of atrial (upper-chamber) arrhythmias that occur despite having a pacing/defibrillator device.
Houston, TexasAges Any age - NCT04278404Recruiting
Drug safety study for children already on certain medicines
This study measures how certain medicines move through the body and checks their safety in children. It may help doctors better understand dosing and side effects in kids who are already receiving these treatments, or in some kids who recently tested positive for COVID-19.
Houston, TexasAges birth–20 years - NCT06625073RecruitingPhase 4
SGLT2i for heart transplant recipients
This trial is testing a medication called SGLT2i (a type of diabetes drug that also helps the heart and kidneys) in people who have received a heart transplant. It aims to see if this drug can improve health after transplant.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07114718Recruiting
Stent for babies with heart defect needing extra blood flow
This trial tests a special stent for babies with a heart defect that needs a temporary blood vessel to stay open. The stent is placed to help blood flow to the lungs until the baby can have a more permanent surgery.
Houston, TexasAges 1 minute–6 months - NCT06310031Recruiting
Testing BrioVAD heart pump for severe heart failure
This trial tests a new left-ventricular assist device (LVAD) called BrioVAD for people with advanced heart failure who are not getting enough benefit from medicines. If you qualify, the device is implanted to help your heart pump blood.
Houston, TexasAges 18–100 - NCT06994624Recruiting
Plant-based diet study for heart disease
This study tests whether switching to a defined plant-based diet can help people with heart disease. It aims to see if this diet improves heart health markers and how you feel.
Houston, TexasAges 18–75 - 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.
Houston, TexasAges Up to 21 years - NCT05932615Enrolling by invitation
Testing a new transcatheter valve for aortic valve narrowing
This trial studies how safe and effective the NAVITOR valve is for treating narrowed aortic valves placed through a catheter (no open-heart surgery). It may be an option if you’re at intermediate-to-low surgical risk and meet heart ultrasound/CT measurements.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT01258231Recruiting
Genetic test to predict risks after heart surgery
This study looks for genetic (DNA) clues that may help predict side effects or complications after heart surgery. If you join, your genome information may be used to understand who is at higher risk and why.
Houston, TexasAges 20–90 - NCT06145035RecruitingPhase 2
Stem cells from cord blood for heart failure
This trial tests whether stem cells from donated umbilical cord blood can improve heart function in people with heart failure caused by blocked arteries. You'll receive one or more infusions of these cells through a vein.
Houston, TexasAges 21–85 - 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.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT03142152Recruiting
Mitral valve implant for heart failure with leaky mitral valve
This trial tests whether a device called the Carillon Mitral Contour System can help people with heart failure caused by a mild-to-moderate leaky mitral valve. You’d be compared against a control group, and the goal is to improve heart failure symptoms and outcomes.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - 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.
Houston, TexasAges Any age - NCT04124120Recruiting
Single vs multiple bypass grafts for women heart surgery
This study compares outcomes of using one bypass graft versus multiple bypass grafts during coronary artery bypass surgery in women. It aims to see which approach leads to better recovery and heart outcomes for eligible patients.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT02852031Recruiting
Care program for newborns needing the Norwood procedure
This trial focuses on improving care for babies born with certain complex heart conditions where only one pumping chamber works. It is meant for babies (including unborn babies) who are planned to have the Norwood procedure, which is a common early surgery.
Houston, TexasAges Up to 1.3 years - NCT06531824RecruitingPhase 3
Heart and kidney protection study for chronic kidney disease
This study tests a new medicine (BI 690517) combined with empagliflozin to see if it can help protect the heart and kidneys in people with chronic kidney disease. It may slow down kidney disease progression and reduce heart risks.
Pasadena, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06400004RecruitingPhase 3
Lumason infusion vs. bolus for better heart imaging
This trial compares two ways of giving Lumason (an ultrasound contrast agent) to improve images of the left ventricle in people whose initial heart ultrasound was unclear. It may help those with a 'suboptimal' view of the heart's pumping chamber.

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.
