Recruiting studies
- NCT07644806Recruiting
Olive oil supplement for heart failure patients
This trial tests whether adding extra virgin olive oil to your diet can improve heart health and exercise ability in people with heart failure. You would receive olive oil supplements and take part in a cardiac rehab program.

Check if a lung ultrasound helps evaluate discharge after heart failure
This study looks at whether doing lung ultrasounds can better assess people right before they leave the hospital after an acute heart failure flare. It may help doctors decide when someone is ready for discharge and tailor care to reduce risk after leaving.
Vandœuvre-lès-NancyAges 18 years+ - 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 - 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 - 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+ - NCT06630923RecruitingPhase 3
Preventing kidney worsening with IV albumin in heart failure
This trial tests if giving a medicine called albumin through a vein can help prevent kidney function from getting worse in people hospitalized with worsening heart failure and liver problems. It may be an option if other treatments haven't worked.
Alexandroupoli, EvrosAges 18–95 - 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.
Alexander City, AlabamaAges 50–99 - NCT07650474Recruiting
Mobile app for heart failure management and quality of life
This study tests whether using a mobile phone app to monitor and manage chronic heart failure improves how you feel and function day-to-day. Researchers will check in with you regularly through your phone to track your symptoms and health.
Addis AbabaAges 18–65 - NCT07595809Recruiting
Diet and exercise for heart failure with weak heart pumping
This study tests whether combining a healthy eating plan (DASH diet) with supervised exercise can help people with heart failure where the heart doesn't pump strongly enough. The goal is to see if these lifestyle changes improve heart function and symptoms.
Zabrze, Silesian VoivodeshipAges 30 years+ - NCT07560436RecruitingPhase 2
Stents for Heart Failure With Normal Pumping
This trial tests whether placing stents in coronary arteries helps patients with heart failure who still have a strong-pumping heart. The study aims to see if improving blood flow to the heart reduces symptoms and improves quality of life.
LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT06465043Recruiting
Understanding Heart Failure When the Heart Stiffens
This study is for people with a type of heart failure called HFpEF, where the heart pumps normally but doesn't relax well. It aims to better understand heart failure through advanced testing, and it includes people who are newly diagnosed or have had a recent hospitalization.
HelsinkiAges 18–85 - NCT06754475Recruiting
Low volume arm HIIT for heart failure patients
This trial tests if short, high-intensity arm exercises can help people with stable heart failure. It looks at safety and improvements in daily function.
Mersin, MersinAges 18 years+ - NCT07496372RecruitingPhase 3
Stem cell injection for advanced heart failure
This trial tests a treatment made from stem cells that are turned into heart muscle cells and injected directly into the heart. It is for people with advanced heart failure who are already on the best available medicines and who are scheduled to have bypass surgery.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07480915Recruiting
Heart failure risk after bypass surgery
This study looks at how to predict major heart problems in people with heart failure who are scheduled for bypass surgery (CABG). It aims to improve risk assessment before the procedure.
Tomsk, Tomsk OblastAges Any age - NCT06803849Recruiting
Biomarkers and pregnancy history for heart failure prognosis
This study looks at whether certain substances in the blood and your history of pregnancy complications can help predict the course of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (a type of heart failure where the heart pumps well but doesn't relax properly). It may help doctors better understand and manage this condition in older women.
MoscowAges 60–74 - NCT07436299Recruiting
New ultrasound method for heart pressure in atrial fibrillation
This study tests a new way to use ultrasound (echocardiogram) to measure heart pressure in people who have both heart failure and atrial fibrillation (irregular heartbeat). Participants will have an ultrasound and a heart catheterization to see if the new ultrasound method can accurately detect elevated pressures.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07401771Recruiting
Exercise heart MRI in heart failure with preserved pumping strength
This study uses a special exercise MRI to see how the heart works during activity in people with a type of heart failure where the heart's pumping strength is normal. It also includes people with shortness of breath from other causes and healthy volunteers to compare results.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18–80 - NCT07379840Recruiting

Copenhagen heart failure with preserved pumping study
This study is for people in the Capital Region of Denmark who are at least 50 years old and have certain health conditions that put them at risk for a type of heart failure where the heart pumps normally but doesn't relax properly. The study aims to find and help people before heart failure develops.

Heart MRI study for heart failure with preserved pumping function
This trial uses a special heart MRI to create pressure-volume loops in people with heart failure who have a normal pumping strength (ejection fraction of 50% or higher). It aims to better understand heart function and could help guide future treatments. You may qualify if you have heart failure symptoms and specific heart structure or function changes.
Ages 18 years+ - NCT07321509RecruitingPhase 4

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for heart failure?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 949 recruiting heart failure 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 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 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.
