Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05913908Recruiting
Valve procedure study for severe tricuspid leakage
This trial tests how well a new catheter-based valve system works for people with severe (or worse) tricuspid valve leaking who still have symptoms despite medicines. It aims to improve outcomes by treating the leaking valve without open-heart surgery, if your heart structure and overall health fit the study.
San Antonio, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06047028Recruiting
Heart MRI scan to assess tissue health
This study uses a special MRI scan to look at heart muscle metabolism in people with heart failure caused by blocked arteries. It may help doctors better understand which heart tissue is still alive and could recover.
Dallas, TexasAges 20–80 - 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.
Plano, 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.
Dallas, TexasAges Up to 1.3 years - 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.
Galveston, TexasAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT06080074RecruitingPhase 2
Emergency heart-lung machine study for children with severe heart failure
This study tests a specific heart-lung machine called Cardiohelp to help children with severe heart failure. It looks at how well the machine works and whether a blood thinner (either heparin or bivalirudin) is safer and more effective.
Dallas, TexasAges birth–16 years - NCT06164730RecruitingPhase 1
Study of VERVE-102 for high cholesterol or early heart disease
This trial tests a new medicine called VERVE-102 for people with a specific type of high cholesterol (HeFH) or early coronary artery disease. It aims to see if it can help lower cholesterol levels.
DeSoto, TexasAges 18–70 - 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.

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.
