Durham, North CarolinaAges Any age - 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.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 12–18 - NCT02855554Recruiting
MRI heart scan study for specific heart conditions
This study uses a special MRI approach to measure details of your heart muscle in people with certain heart problems. It may help researchers better understand how different conditions affect the heart and how those changes can be measured.
Charleston, South CarolinaAges 18–90 - NCT06077422Enrolling by invitationPhase 2/Phase 3
Comparing two pain blocks for heart surgery recovery
This trial compares two types of pain blocks (Exparel vs. Marcaine) given during heart surgery to see which one provides better pain relief. If you are scheduled for a heart surgery through a small or full chest incision, you may be able to join.
New Brunswick, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT06075251Recruiting
Online support for parents of kids with heart conditions
This study provides an online support program for parents or caregivers of children (ages 3 to 9) who have a congenital heart condition (a heart problem present at birth). The goal is to help you and your child cope and thrive, and you can join from home if you live in Ontario.
Toronto, OntarioAges 3–9 - NCT06041685Recruiting
Warming for artery catheter in children under 2
This trial tests if warming the skin before placing an artery line helps children having heart surgery. It may make the procedure easier and more comfortable.
Yangsan, Gyeongsangnam-doAges Up to 2 years - NCT05869825Recruiting
Breathing support after extubation in babies after heart surgery
This trial compares two ways of helping babies breathe after their breathing tube is removed following heart surgery. It may help find which support method works better and is safer for the smallest patients.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges Up to 1 year - NCT05849025Recruiting
MRI heart study using blood-pressure and kidney checks
This study adds an MRI and other measurements to a heart registry to better understand heart function. You might benefit by getting detailed heart and kidney measurements, but you must meet safety and eligibility rules (like blood pressure, BMI, and being off heart medicines).
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 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 - NCT05786417RecruitingPhase 4
Medication comparison for older adults with stable heart pain
This trial tests which heart medications work best for older adults who have stable angina (predictable chest pain) and multiple other long-term health problems. You may be asked to start or adjust medications and attend regular follow-up visits to see which approach controls symptoms and outcomes.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 65 years+ - NCT05174442Recruiting
Registry follow-up for Occlutech heart device safety and comfort
This registry follows people who received certain Occlutech heart-related devices to check safety, how well the devices perform, and how easy they are to use. It may help by improving future device safety and user experience based on real-world results.
ErlangenAges Any age - NCT05687292Recruiting
Decision tool to shorten breathing machine time in children
This study tests whether a computer “decision support” tool can help doctors safely reduce how long a child stays on a breathing machine after heart surgery. It may help children get off mechanical ventilation sooner and recover faster.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 1 day–12 years - NCT05682118Recruiting
Using a new heart scan guide to plan blood-flow procedures
This trial tests whether a computer guidance system can help doctors choose the right pressure/blood-flow measurements during certain heart artery procedures. It may help ensure treatment decisions are based on the clearest information about narrowed arteries.
Yongin, Gyeonggi-doAges 19 years+ - NCT05684562Recruiting
Lung function and exercise capacity in Fontan patients
This study looks at how well the lungs and heart work together during exercise in people who have had the Fontan operation. The goal is to understand how lung function affects overall fitness, which can help improve care for Fontan patients.
AnkaraAges 8–55 - NCT05658965Recruiting
EEG monitoring after early heart surgery in infants
This study looks at whether early brain-wave testing (EEG) around the time of heart surgery in very young babies can predict later learning and development issues. It may help doctors identify children who need extra support sooner.
Lille, Hauts-de-FranceAges 1 day–1 year - NCT05427370Recruiting
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+ - NCT05391737Recruiting
Study of fluid in the lungs after open-water swimming
This study looks at what happens in the lungs after open-water swimming. It may help doctors better understand and recognize “swimming-induced lung fluid,” especially by using lung ultrasound when symptoms happen.
FalunAges 18 years+ - NCT05365282Recruiting
Check how a wrist artery procedure affects hand nerve symptoms
This study looks at whether a procedure on an artery in the wrist is linked to new or worsening nerve symptoms in the hand. It may help doctors understand who is at higher or lower risk and improve safety.
AarhusAges 18 years+ - NCT03563417Recruiting
CTO treatment vs medicines after heart scan
This trial studies whether opening a blocked coronary artery (a CTO) helps people more than staying on the best available heart medicines after an initial 3-month treatment period. It uses heart imaging to confirm there is reduced blood flow in the area supplied by the blockage.
Aarhus NAges 18 years+ - NCT04299828Recruiting
Study of inflammation activity during complex heart surgery
This study measures how active white blood cells and inflammation are during complex heart surgery using a heart-lung machine. It may help doctors better understand what triggers inflammation during surgery and how to improve care.
Boston, MassachusettsAges Any age - NCT04761120Recruiting
Follow-up study for specific heart valve repair ring implants
This study follows people who are going to get certain types of heart valve repair rings or bands. It aims to track safety and outcomes after the Abbott device is implanted in routine care over follow-up visits.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for heart diseases?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 733 recruiting heart diseases studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a heart diseases trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a heart diseases trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
