Recruiting studies
- NCT05582044Recruiting
Exercise using leg suction for heart failure with preserved function
This study tests whether a specific lower-body exercise method using negative pressure (leg suction) can improve symptoms and heart-related function in people with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). You may also be offered screening if you are a healthy person, to compare results.
Kelowna, British ColumbiaAges 40 years+ - NCT07217366Enrolling by invitation
Speech-to-text tool for heart failure patients
This study tests a speech-to-text tool to help people with heart failure report their symptoms and health information more easily. It aims to see if using voice instead of typing can improve data collection.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07178145RecruitingPhase 4
Heart fat and heart failure with preserved pumping ability study
This study looks at fat around the heart in people with heart failure where the heart still pumps normally. It uses MRI scans to understand this fat better, and may help find new treatments.
Charlottesville, VirginiaAges 18–90 - NCT03268135Recruiting
Study gene activity in people with heart failure or aortic stenosis
This trial looks at patterns in your blood or heart-related “gene activity” (transcriptome) after heart procedures. It may help doctors understand why some people with heart failure or aortic valve narrowing (stenosis) do better than others.
San Donato Milanese, MilanAges 40–75 - NCT05441839Recruiting
Heart failure with preserved pumping function study in the UK
This trial studies people who have heart failure symptoms but whose heart pumping strength is largely preserved. It aims to better understand this specific type of heart failure and how best to treat or evaluate it.

CS Reducer study for heart failure with preserved pumping function
This trial is testing a device called CS Reducer to see if it can help people with a certain type of heart failure (HFpEF) and a problem with small blood vessels in the heart (CMD). The device may improve blood flow and reduce symptoms.

This study tests a new exercise program for people over 65 with heart failure where the heart pumps less efficiently. The goal is to see if tailored exercise is safe and helpful for breathing, energy, and daily function.
Charlottesville, VirginiaAges 65 years+ - NCT06580392Recruiting
CCM device plus medications for heart failure with low pump strength
This study tests a heart device (CCM) plus standard medications to see if the combination helps people with a weak heart pump. It's for those whose heart function is low and who still have symptoms despite current treatment.
Rome, ItalyAges 18 years+ - NCT06820099RecruitingPhase 2
A drug for heart failure with obesity
This trial tests an oral drug called HRS-7535 for people with a certain type of heart failure (where the heart pumps normally but doesn't relax properly) and who also have obesity. It aims to see if the drug can improve symptoms and daily function.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06768437Recruiting
Heart fat and preserved ejection fraction heart failure trial
This study looks at whether fat around the heart affects a type of heart failure where the heart pumps well but is stiff (HFpEF). You may be able to join if you have this condition, are 18 or older, and can understand English.
Leicester, LeicestershireAges 18 years+ - NCT06733012Recruiting
Nerve block trial for heart failure patients
This trial tests a nerve block procedure to improve heart function in people with heart failure and reduced pumping ability. It aims to see if blocking certain nerves can help you feel better and be more active.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06620653Recruiting
Heart failure recovery at home study
This study tests a virtual ward program for people recently hospitalized with heart failure. It aims to see if monitoring and support at home can improve recovery and quality of life.
Ballinasloe, GalwayAges 18 years+ - NCT06545370Recruiting
Nurse Education for Heart Failure Patients and Caregivers
This trial tests whether a nurse-led education program can help people with chronic heart failure and their caregivers. You and your caregiver would learn about managing heart failure at home.
Heraklion, CreteAges 18 years+ - NCT06388226Recruiting
Leg heat therapy for heart failure with preserved pumping ability
This study tests if applying heat to your legs can improve symptoms and heart function in people with a type of heart failure where the heart pumps normally but doesn't relax properly. It aims to find a simple, drug-free way to help you feel better.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 18 years+ - NCT06307652RecruitingPhase 3
Testing a new heart failure and kidney treatment combo
This study tests a new combination of two medicines (balcinrenone and dapagliflozin) for people with heart failure and reduced kidney function. The goal is to see if this combination helps improve heart and kidney health better than current treatments.
Alexander City, AlabamaAges 18–130 - NCT05174351Recruiting
Stopping beta-blockers in heart failure with preserved pumping
This study checks whether safely stopping beta-blocker medicine is possible in some people with heart failure with preserved pumping (EF ≥50%). It may help by testing whether reducing the medication is safe and workable for certain patients.
Farmington, ConnecticutAges 50–80 - NCT06166654RecruitingPhase 4
Better water pill therapy for acute heart failure
This trial tests different water pill (diuretic) strategies for people hospitalized with acute heart failure and too much fluid. It is designed for patients who may not respond well to standard water pills, to find a more effective way to relieve symptoms.
Hvidovre, Capital Region of DenmarkAges 18 years+ - NCT05651919Recruiting
Blood test study to understand diabetic heart weakness
This study measures immune cells from your blood to find markers (biomarkers) that may explain or predict diabetic cardiomyopathy, a type of heart condition linked to diabetes. You may benefit mainly by being closely monitored and contributing to research that could improve future diagnosis or risk tracking.
BronAges 40–85 - NCT05525663Recruiting
Rehab for older adults after heart failure with strong pumping
This trial studies whether a physical rehabilitation program helps older adults recover and function better after a recent hospital stay for heart failure when the heart’s pumping strength is preserved. It may help you regain walking ability and daily independence after your episode.

LVAD versus standard heart failure medicines in advanced patients
This trial compares an LVAD device (a pump placed in the chest) plus medicines versus medicines alone for people with advanced, end-stage heart failure. It aims to see which approach works better to help patients live and stay out of the hospital.
BesançonAges 18 years+ - NCT02880618Recruiting
Barostim therapy for heart failure with reduced pumping ability
This trial tests a device called Barostim NEO that is implanted in the neck to help treat heart failure. It may improve symptoms by stimulating nerves that help the heart work better.

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.
