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+ - NCT04913805RecruitingPhase 2
Study for HFpEF using heart pressure and energy signals
This Phase 2 study tests how matching heart “filling pressure” and heart muscle “energy use” may improve understanding or treatment of HFpEF, a type of heart failure with preserved pumping strength. You may be asked to have heart scans/tests and follow a study plan if your symptoms and test results fit.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04600115RecruitingEarly Phase 1
New MRI methods for heart failure with preserved pumping function
This study tests advanced MRI techniques to better understand heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), a condition where the heart pumps normally but still doesn't work well. It may help improve diagnosis and treatment for patients with this type of heart failure.
Salt Lake City, UtahAges 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+ - NCT03775577Recruiting
Exercise testing study for people with heart failure
This study looks at exercise intolerance in heart failure, using heart and lung tests to understand how symptoms affect activity. It may help researchers better identify what limits exercise and how heart failure impacts quality of life.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 21 years+ - NCT03480633Recruiting
Heart failure precision medicine registry
This registry collects health and heart-related information to better understand heart failure (with preserved or reduced pumping strength) and guide more precise care. You may be asked to share tests and results, and help researchers learn which patterns match different types of heart failure.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07402239Recruiting
Heart failure therapy and monitoring device study
This trial tests a device that treats and monitors heart failure. It may help people with chronic heart failure and reduced heart function who still have symptoms despite standard treatments.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18 years+ - NCT07296081Recruiting
PET scan study for heart scarring in heart failure
This study uses a special PET scan to look for scarring (fibrosis) in the heart muscle of people with heart failure. It may help doctors better understand why some hearts get stiff or weak.
Coimbra, Coimbra DistrictAges 18 years+ - NCT07047547Recruiting
