This early study looks at people with type 2 diabetes and certain types of heart failure to see whether changes in “ketones” relate to heart benefits. It may help researchers understand who could benefit most from treatment-related metabolism changes.
San Antonio, TexasAges 18–80 - 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+ - NCT04237701Recruiting
Tracking heart failure in real time at Yale
This trial looks at how people with heart failure are doing using real-time monitoring across the Yale New Haven Health System. It may help improve care by spotting problems sooner and tracking treatment effects.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT03999138Recruiting
MRI study of lung fluid changes in acute heart failure
This study uses MRI scans to measure lung fluid (pulmonary edema) in people hospitalized for acute heart failure. It aims to see how well the lung fluid responds to standard treatments like water pills (diuretics) given in the first couple of days.
Edmonton, AlbertaAges 18 years+ - NCT03876223Recruiting
Testing imaging to study heart symptoms without blocked arteries
This trial studies people who have heart-related symptoms but do not have clear blocked heart arteries, using special heart imaging. It may help researchers better understand early forms of heart weakness (with preserved pumping function) and improve how these conditions are diagnosed.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07552142Recruiting
Heart Failure Check-In: Using Questionnaires to Spot Early Warning Signs
This study asks heart failure patients who recently were hospitalized to answer regular questionnaires about how they're feeling. Researchers want to see if these questions can detect when heart failure is getting worse before a patient needs emergency care.
Moscow, Non-US/Non-CanadianAges 18 years+ - NCT06809686Recruiting
ECG and patient experience study for heart failure
This study collects detailed ECG data and feedback from people with heart failure to better understand the condition and improve care. It involves noninvasive monitoring and a discussion of your symptoms and daily life.
London, LondonAges 45–80 - NCT06036615Recruiting
Exercise training for frailty and fall risk in heart failure
