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.

Compare bypass or stent treatment in weak heart patients
This study compares two ways to restore blood flow to the heart—bypass surgery (CABG) or stent procedure (PCI)—in people with a weak pumping heart. It looks at which approach works best when the heart muscle is not pumping well and there are multiple blocked heart arteries.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 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.

Udenafil test during exercise for teens with Fontan circulation

Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 12–18 - NCT07466745Recruiting
New Pulmonary Valve Study for Kids Needing Replacement

Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 1.5 years–16 years - NCT05867381Recruiting
Air purifier use to slow heart artery plaque in older adults
This trial tests whether using indoor air filtration at home can slow the progression of heart artery plaque-related problems in people with a past history of ischemic heart disease. It may help by improving indoor air quality, which the study links to inflammation in the body.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 65–84 - NCT06563895RecruitingPhase 3
Testing acoramidis to prevent ATTR amyloidosis in gene carriers
This trial tests a daily pill called acoramidis to see if it can prevent ATTR amyloidosis in people who carry a gene mutation but have no symptoms yet. It aims to stop the disease before it starts.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–75 - 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.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–80 - NCT06877169Recruiting
Staged heart and kidney transplant study
This study compares two ways of doing a combined heart and kidney transplant. It looks at doing the surgeries in separate stages instead of all at once, to see if that is safer or works better.

You stay in control
