Heart failure clinical trials
A condition where the heart can’t pump blood as well as it should. We’re tracking 949 recruiting studies, each written for real people, not researchers, below.
Recruiting studies
- NCT05265520Recruiting
Pacing strategy study for certain heart failure patients
This trial tests a pacing approach designed to improve how the heart beats in some people with heart failure and a specific heart rhythm pattern on ECG. If you already need a device (CRT-D) based on your results, the study may help see whether this pacing correction improves outcomes.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06174103Recruiting
BiVACOR total artificial heart early feasibility study
This study tests a new total artificial heart called BiVACOR for people with severe heart failure that cannot be helped by standard pumps. It is designed to keep you alive while you wait for a heart transplant.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18–70 - NCT07057466Recruiting
Checking heart scans with artificial intelligence
This study uses AI to read electrocardiograms (heart rhythm tests) to see if they can detect certain heart structure problems earlier. If you are already scheduled for an echocardiogram (heart ultrasound), your data may be used to help improve detection.
BristolAges 18–90 - NCT06405555RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Midodrine for low blood pressure in heart failure
This trial tests a pill called midodrine to see if it can safely raise blood pressure in people with heart failure and low blood pressure. It may help you feel better and avoid needing IV treatments while in the hospital.
Ottawa, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT07847983Recruiting
Women's heart failure study: tracking first hospital visits
This study looks at women who are hospitalized for the first time with heart failure, to learn more about their health outcomes and what affects their recovery. By joining, you help researchers understand heart failure in women and may receive extra monitoring and support.
Santiago de Compostela, A CorunaAges 18 years+ - NCT07702760Recruiting
Improving heart failure care with reduced pumping ability
This study evaluates how well doctors follow guidelines for treating heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). It aims to improve the quality of care you receive during your regular clinic visits over the next year.
RotterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT07539766Recruiting
Obesity Surgery Study to Prevent Heart Problems
This study follows people with obesity who are having weight-loss surgery to see if the surgery can help prevent a specific type of heart problem (HFpEF) that sometimes develops in people carrying excess weight. Researchers will track your heart health and metabolism before and after surgery.
Heerlen, LimburgAges 35 years+ - NCT07309523Recruiting
Heart muscle strength in heart failure and diabetes
This study looks at how heart muscle strength changes in people with heart failure and/or diabetes. Researchers will use a pacemaker to safely measure tiny changes in heart function.
Leeds, West YorkshireAges 18 years+ - NCT07265349RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Stem cells plus bypass surgery for chronic heart failure
This trial tests whether injecting stem cells from umbilical cord tissue into the heart muscle during bypass surgery can improve heart function in people with chronic heart failure. It is for patients who are already scheduled for bypass surgery and have a weakened heart pump (LVEF between 21% and 40%).
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT07174362Recruiting
Heart failure study for newly diagnosed patients
This study is tracking people who were recently diagnosed with heart failure and have a weakened heart pumping function (less than 50%). It aims to learn more about the condition and improve care.
Basildon, EssexAges 18 years+ - NCT07123779RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of a new drug for heart failure with pulmonary hypertension
This study tests an investigational drug (HS235) for people who have both heart failure with preserved ejection fraction and a type of pulmonary hypertension that can happen with it. The goal is to see if the drug can improve symptoms and quality of life.
Kansas City, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT07113223Recruiting
AI heart test for heart failure detection in people over 65
This trial uses an artificial intelligence system to analyze electrocardiograms (ECGs, which are recordings of your heart's electrical activity) to detect heart failure early. It is for people over 65 who either have symptoms that might be heart failure or have risk factors for heart failure but no current symptoms.
MadridAges 65 years+ - NCT06964464RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing two heart failure medications in ICD patients
This trial compares two beta-blocker medications, carvedilol and metoprolol succinate, to see which one works better for people with heart failure who have an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD). If you are currently taking metoprolol succinate, you may be able to switch to carvedilol and help researchers find the best treatment.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06337812Recruiting
Fiber supplement study for heart failure and diabetes
This study tests whether adding a daily fiber supplement can improve health in people with heart failure and type 2 diabetes. Participants take the supplement for several weeks to see if it helps manage symptoms and blood sugar.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT06518694RecruitingPhase 3
Can you stop beta-blockers after heart failure recovery?
This trial tests whether people whose heart function has returned to normal after heart failure can safely stop taking beta-blockers. It aims to see if staying on the medication is still needed or if stopping is just as safe.
Paris, IDFAges 18 years+ - NCT06465498Recruiting
Lung ultrasound for heart failure congestion treatment
This trial tests whether using lung ultrasound to guide decongestion treatment improves outcomes for patients hospitalized with congestive heart failure. It may help doctors tailor your care more precisely.
Geneva, Canton of GenevaAges 18 years+ - NCT06244953Recruiting
Heart failure support program with palliative care
This study tests whether a tailored program that includes palliative care (extra support for comfort and quality of life) can help people with advanced heart failure and their family caregivers. It aims to reduce hospital visits and improve well-being.
SingaporeAges 21–99 - NCT05508035RecruitingPhase 3
Testing sacubitril/valsartan vs ramipril for heart failure
This trial compares two blood-pressure and heart-failure medicines: sacubitril/valsartan versus ramipril, to see which improves heart pumping and heart structure over time. It’s aimed at people with ischemic (blocked-artery) heart failure with mid-range ejection fraction and ongoing symptoms.
Krakow, Lesser Poland VoivodeshipAges 18 years+ - NCT05056129Recruiting
Phone game to help you manage heart failure
This trial tests whether a sensor-connected digital game (played on a phone) can help people manage heart failure day-to-day. It’s for adults who recently needed hospitalization and are able to do light activity and use a phone.
Austin, TexasAges 45 years+ - NCT04000061Recruiting
Tracking heart failure and heart attack progress in hospital
This study looks at how heart problems progress while you’re in the hospital, using your medical information (clinical data). It may help doctors better predict outcomes and improve care for people with heart attacks and heart failure.
BaselAges 18 years+ - NCT07753681Recruiting
Chronic disease care in Zambia
This study helps improve care for people with long-term illnesses like diabetes or high blood pressure in Zambia. It aims to make sure you get regular check-ups and support.
Lusaka, Lusaka ProvinceAges Any age - NCT06428097RecruitingPhase 1

AlkmaarAges 18 years+ - NCT04066127Enrolling by invitation
Heart transplant study comparing two types of heart storage
This trial tests whether using a different method to store a donated heart before transplant improves outcomes. It compares “non-ischemic preservation” versus standard cold storage for people getting a new heart.

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.
