Recruiting studies
- NCT05138575RecruitingPhase 2
Testing SGLT2 pill and potassium nitrate for heart failure with preserved EF
This trial studies whether two medicines—an SGLT2 inhibitor and potassium nitrate—can improve symptoms and heart function in people with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). It focuses on people who still have signs of “stiff” or high filling pressure in the heart despite a normal-ish ejection fraction.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04592445Recruiting
Nerve ablation for right-sided symptoms in HFpEF heart failure
This trial tests a procedure to “turn off” the right greater splanchnic nerve to improve symptoms in people with HFpEF (heart failure with preserved pumping function). If successful, it may reduce shortness of breath and fluid congestion in daily life.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 40 years+ - NCT06272734Recruiting
Reprieve system study for hospitalized heart failure
This study tests a device (Reprieve System) to remove extra fluid more safely in heart failure patients while they are hospitalized. It may be a good option if you have fluid buildup and are not too sick from other conditions.
TbilisiAges 18 years+ - NCT07270536Recruiting
Pacing and heart pressure in HFpEF exercise
This study tests whether a special pacing setting during exercise can help improve heart filling pressures in people with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) who already have a DDD pacemaker. If you have HFpEF and a pacemaker, you may help researchers find better ways to manage your condition during activity.
HasseltAges 18 years+ - NCT06142474RecruitingPhase 3
SGLT2 inhibitors for heart failure patients during ventilator weaning
This trial tests a heart failure medication (SGLT2 inhibitor) to help people with heart failure who are on a breathing machine (ventilator) get better and come off the machine faster. It is for patients with a specific type of heart failure where the heart pumps weakly (EF ≤ 40%).
TaipeiAges 20 years+ - NCT06588452Recruiting
AI vs manual chart review for heart failure studies
This trial tests whether a computer program (AI) can help doctors review patient charts faster than doing it by hand. It looks at people with heart failure to see if AI can correctly identify who might qualify for other studies.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–90 - NCT06905405Recruiting
Imaging for early heart failure with stiff heart muscle (HFpEF)
This study uses advanced imaging to find early signs of a type of heart failure where the heart pumps well but doesn't relax properly (HFpEF). It may help if you have shortness of breath and a slightly enlarged heart chamber but don't yet have a clear heart failure diagnosis.
Sheffield, South YorkshireAges 18 years+ - NCT06208007Recruiting
Predicting heart failure with stiff arteries
This study looks at whether stiffer arteries can help predict a type of heart failure where the heart doesn't relax properly (HFpEF). It's for people who have risk factors like high blood pressure, diabetes, or being older, and who may have early signs of heart trouble.
Göttingen, Lower SaxonyAges 18 years+ - NCT06770023RecruitingPhase 1
Bridge to lung transplant with ECMO for right heart failure
This study tests a special heart-lung support machine (ECMO) for people waiting for a lung transplant whose heart is failing due to high blood pressure in the lungs. The machine helps rest the heart and lungs until transplant surgery.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18–80 - NCT03895541Recruiting
Test MRI/ultrasound to measure heart stiffness in older heart failure
This study checks whether a noninvasive imaging test can measure how stiff (stiffness) your heart muscle is in older people with certain types of heart failure. It may help doctors better diagnose and sort out the type of heart failure using your scan results.
ParisAges 60–80 - NCT03951467Recruiting
Health literacy support to help you follow medical advice
This study tests whether a communication tool matched to your health literacy level can improve how well people follow medical recommendations after an acute episode. It may help you understand your care plan and take the right next steps at home.
BronAges 18 years+ - NCT03994874RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing fluid removal through the belly in heart-kidney failure
This trial studies a treatment that removes extra fluid through a catheter placed in the abdomen (peritoneal ultrafiltration) for people with “cardio-renal syndrome” (heart and kidney problems together). It may help those who stay congested despite high-dose water pills (diuretics) and have certain heart circulation and fluid signs.
ChietiAges 18 years+ - NCT04323371Recruiting
Study testing for heart-shock to reduce future events
This trial studies how to identify different types of “cardiogenic shock,” a serious drop in heart blood flow. It aims to use detailed patient information to guide care and possibly lower the chance of dangerous outcomes.
MilanAges 18–74 - NCT04419480Recruiting
Monitoring to help prevent complications after cardiogenic shock
This study tests a special monitoring approach (likely using an implanted device) to help prevent serious complications after you survive cardiogenic shock in the hospital. It may help the care team detect problems earlier so treatments can start sooner.
Falls Church, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT04591639Recruiting
DAPA test for diabetes and heart failure using body scans
This study tests how a medication called DAPA (an SGLT2 inhibitor) affects the body in people with heart failure (with or without type 2 diabetes), or in some people with type 2 diabetes only. It may help researchers understand who could benefit most and what changes happen in the heart, using specialized heart imaging.
Edinburgh, ScotlandAges 18 years+ - NCT04664686Recruiting
Compare two heart-rhythm strategies after CRT for atrial fibrillation
This study looks at whether a “rate control” or “rhythm control” approach works better for people with CRT devices who still have atrial fibrillation. It aims to improve heart failure symptoms and help the heart pace more effectively.
LondonAges 18–85 - NCT04680442RecruitingPhase 2
Keeping HER2 therapy when your heart function is weaker
This trial studies whether it’s safe to continue HER2-targeted breast cancer treatment (like trastuzumab, pertuzumab, or T-DM1) even when heart function (left ventricle) is reduced. It may help people avoid stopping a helpful cancer medicine because of heart concerns.
Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do SulAges Any age - NCT04986332Recruiting
Program for COPD or heart failure in people with other illnesses
This trial studies a detailed, whole-body program to improve outcomes in people with COPD or heart failure, especially those who also have several other chronic conditions. It may help by improving activity and monitoring health markers over about 24 weeks.
PalermoAges 45–75 - NCT05230745Recruiting
Test device for heart failure safety and how well it works
This trial studies whether the ContraBand device can be safely placed in people with long-term, symptomatic heart failure and reduced heart pumping. It also looks at whether the approach is practical and tolerable, and gathers early safety information.
AalstAges 18–85 - NCT05485376Recruiting
Pulmonary artery catheter use in cardiogenic shock patients
This trial studies whether using a special pressure-monitoring tube in the heart’s main artery (a pulmonary artery catheter) helps people who are in cardiogenic shock from weak heart pumping. If you qualify, the goal is to improve how doctors monitor and treat this dangerous, fast-moving condition.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–90 - NCT05548413Recruiting
