Heart failure care with remote home monitoring
This trial tests a new way of caring for heart failure that combines in-person clinic visits with at-home monitoring using digital tools. If you join, you may be able to have more of your check-ups from home, which could be more convenient and help your care team catch problems early.
Amsterdam, UtrechtAges 18 years+ - NCT07682298Recruiting

LundAges 18 years+ - NCT07631156RecruitingPhase 4
Safely Reducing Heart Failure Medications After Recovery
This study tests whether patients whose heart function has fully recovered after surgery or a heart procedure can safely reduce or stop their heart failure medications. Researchers will carefully monitor whether gradually lowering these medicines is safe and maintains heart health.
Daegu, DaeguAges 19 years+ - NCT04441203Recruiting

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.
