Cincinnati, OhioAges Any age - NCT07477197Recruiting
Heart Institute Biobank for Adult Congenital Heart Disease
This study collects blood and tissue samples and health information from adults with or at risk for congenital heart disease or related heart conditions. It aims to help researchers better understand these conditions and improve future treatments.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 16 years+ - NCT06818760Recruiting
Remote monitoring for pregnant women with heart conditions
This study tests if a wrist wearable can safely monitor pregnant women with congenital heart disease. It aims to improve care during pregnancy, delivery, and after birth by tracking health data remotely.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT04467671RecruitingPhase 2
Tested new blood vessel graft for a heart surgery
This trial studies whether a newer “tissue-engineered” blood vessel graft is safe and works well in children who need a specific heart surgery connection outside the heart. It may help by offering a new type of graft, but your team will screen for size and medical factors first.
Columbus, OhioAges Any age - NCT07449325Recruiting
Heart sinus reducer for chest pain from small vessel disease
This trial tests a device placed in a heart vein (the coronary sinus) to improve blood flow and reduce chest pain in people with coronary microvascular dysfunction (small blood vessel disease). It aims to help those who still have symptoms despite taking heart medications.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07478354Recruiting
Heart Tissue and Blood Study for Pediatric Heart Disease
This study collects samples (blood, tissue, and other specimens) from people of all ages who have or are at risk for pediatric heart disease. The goal is to build a research bank to better understand these conditions and develop new treatments.
Cincinnati, OhioAges Any age - 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.
Cincinnati, OhioAges Up to 21 years - NCT06003023Recruiting
Physical activity study for teens with congenital heart disease
This study looks at how teens and young adults with moderate to complex congenital heart disease can improve their physical activity. You might be eligible if you're between 15 and 25, have a heart condition, and get care at Nationwide Children's Hospital or Ohio State University.
Columbus, OhioAges 15–25 - NCT07525843Recruiting
Well-being education program for teens with heart disease
This study tests whether a special education program about managing emotions and stress helps teenagers with moderate-to-severe congenital heart disease (a heart condition from birth) feel better and cope with their condition. Participants attend sessions and complete surveys over time.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 12–17 - NCT03217006Recruiting

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.
