Resmetirom for fatty liver disease with heart failure
This trial tests a drug called resmetirom for people who have both a type of fatty liver disease (MASH) and a type of heart failure (HFpEF). It aims to see if the drug can help both conditions. You may be able to join if you have both conditions and meet certain health criteria.
Peoria, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07835828Recruiting
Optimised heart and kidney protection for chronic kidney disease and heart disease
This study tests a new approach to protect the heart and kidneys in people with both chronic kidney disease and heart or blood vessel problems. By optimising treatment, researchers hope to reduce the risk of further kidney or heart damage.
SvendborgAges 18 years+ - NCT05490901Recruiting
Test exercise heart pressure measurements with an ultrasound
This study looks at how well two heart tests taken during exercise—direct heart pressure measurement and an ultrasound—can explain shortness of breath with activity. It may help doctors better diagnose what’s causing your symptoms.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT05508256RecruitingPhase 4
Ablation for atrial fibrillation in heart failure with preserved function
This trial tests whether a catheter procedure that treats atrial fibrillation works better than standard care for people with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. It aims to improve heart rhythm symptoms and overall outcomes compared with conventional treatment.
BerlinAges 18 years+ - NCT04343430Recruiting
Hospital study for fluid buildup in heart failure with preserved heart function
This study looks at how well doctors can assess fluid buildup before you leave the hospital if you have a type of heart failure called “preserved ejection fraction.” It may help improve decisions about when and how safely people are discharged.
Vandœuvre-lès-NancyAges 18 years+ - NCT05097898Recruiting
Check fluid buildup in heart failure with normal pumping
This study evaluates how well doctors can assess “fluid congestion” in people with chronic heart failure where the heart’s squeezing is still preserved. It may help improve how patients are monitored during hospital visits.
Vandœuvre-lès-NancyAges 18 years+ - NCT06061549RecruitingPhase 1
Gene therapy for stiff heart failure (preserved EF)
This trial tests a one-time gene therapy for people with heart failure who still have normal pumping strength (preserved ejection fraction). It aims to improve how heart cells handle calcium, which may help the heart relax better and ease symptoms.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 50 years+ - NCT06125925Recruiting
Ablation for AFib in patients with heart failure and preserved ejection fraction
This study tests whether a catheter ablation procedure can help people with atrial fibrillation and a kind of heart failure where the heart pumps normally but doesn't relax properly (HFpEF). It looks at whether the procedure can improve symptoms and heart function.
NanjingAges 18–80 - NCT05063955Recruiting
Study muscle changes in people with heart failure
This study looks at the reasons for age-related muscle loss (sarcopenia) in people with heart failure. It may help researchers understand what is causing muscle weakness and how it could be treated in the future.
Aarhus NAges 18–90 - NCT06196086Recruiting
Measuring heart stiffness in heart failure with normal pumping
This study uses a special ultrasound technique to check how stiff the heart muscle is in people with heart failure who have a normal pumping ability (HFpEF). It aims to better understand heart stiffness to help diagnose and manage this condition.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18–80 - NCT03197350Recruiting
Study of heart failure with preserved pumping function
This study looks at people who have heart failure symptoms but whose heart pumping strength is not reduced. Researchers aim to better understand this type of heart failure and compare it with people who have no history of heart disease or heart failure.
BrusselsAges 18–99 - NCT06278844Recruiting
Pacing method to improve exercise in heart failure
This study tests a new way to pace the heart in people with heart failure who need a pacemaker. It aims to see if this pacing method helps them exercise more easily.
Edegem, AntwerpAges 18 years+ - NCT05878912Recruiting
Obesity and weight loss in certain heart failure patients
This study looks at how higher body weight and weight loss affect people who have heart failure with preserved pumping strength. It uses heart scans to measure how the heart and body change, which may help guide future treatment plans.
OxfordAges 18–85 - 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+ - NCT05479669Recruiting
Testing detailed heart scans in people with heart failure symptoms
This study looks at whether doing very detailed heart testing helps understand and guide care for people with heart failure with preserved pumping strength. You may be eligible if you’re an adult with specific symptom levels, recent heart-failure-related visits, and matching scan and blood test results.
GroningenAges 18 years+ - NCT07795814RecruitingPhase 2
Study of a new medicine for heart failure with preserved pumping function
This study tests an investigational medicine called EDG-15400 for people with a type of heart failure where the heart muscle is stiff and doesn't relax properly, even though the pumping function is normal. The goal is to see if the medicine improves symptoms and daily functioning.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 30–84 - NCT07761117RecruitingPhase 3
Heart failure treatment study for people with preserved pumping function
This study tests an investigational medication called elecoglipron to see if it can improve heart and blood vessel outcomes in people with heart failure with preserved or mildly reduced ejection fraction. If you join, you will receive either the study drug or a placebo, and your heart health will be monitored over time.
Fairhope, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06652087Recruiting
Testing rifaximin for heart failure with preserved pumping
This trial tests whether the antibiotic rifaximin (taken by mouth) can improve heart function in people with a type of heart failure where the heart pumps well but is still weak (HFpEF). Rifaximin might help by changing the bacteria in your gut.
MoscowAges 18–80 - NCT02901184RecruitingPhase 3
Spironolactone start study for heart failure with preserved pumping
This trial tests whether starting spironolactone helps people with heart failure symptoms when the heart pumps “preserved” (not severely reduced). Participants are assigned to start spironolactone or usual care so researchers can see if it improves outcomes.

Exercise training for heart failure with preserved pumping ability
This trial tests whether high-intensity interval training can improve heart function and fitness in people with a type of heart failure where the heart pumps normally but doesn't fill properly. You will do supervised exercise sessions to see if it helps you feel better and be more active.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 154 recruiting heart failure with preserved ejection fraction 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 failure with preserved ejection fraction 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 failure with preserved ejection fraction 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.
