Safety study of VS-041 for heart failure with preserved pumping strength
This trial tests an investigational drug called VS-041 to see if it's safe and helps people with a type of heart failure where the heart pumps well but doesn't relax properly (HFpEF). It may be an option if you are 50 or older and have stable heart failure symptoms.
Little Rock, ArkansasAges 50 years+ - NCT05715697Recruiting
Kidney artery treatment for heart failure with normal heart pumping
This study tests whether renal denervation (a procedure to reduce overactive signals in kidney arteries) can help people who have heart failure but keep a normal pumping ability and still have high blood pressure. It aims to improve blood-pressure control and heart function in this specific group.
Ürümqi, XinjiangAges 21–80 - NCT06595290Recruiting
Faster medication increase for heart failure with weak pumping
This trial tests a new, faster way to increase heart failure medications during a hospital stay, aiming to get patients on the right doses sooner. It is for people with weak heart pumping (ejection fraction 40% or less) who are currently in the hospital for heart failure and are on low doses of standard medications.
Long Xuyen, An GiangAges 18–75 - NCT07682298Recruiting

Coronary sinus reducer for heart failure with preserved pumping function
This trial tests a device placed in a heart vein to improve symptoms in people whose heart pumps normally but still causes shortness of breath and fatigue. The device may help relieve pressure in the heart and improve daily life.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT07467668Recruiting
Iron infusion for heart failure patients with low iron
This trial tests whether giving intravenous iron to adults hospitalized with heart failure and low iron levels helps improve their health. You may be eligible if you have heart failure with reduced pumping function and low iron stores.
Pleasanton, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07069738Recruiting
New pacemaker vs standard cardiac therapy for heart failure
This study tests a newer type of pacemaker that paces the heart's left bundle branch area, compared to the usual cardiac resynchronization therapy. It is for people with heart failure who need a combined pacemaker-defibrillator (CRT-D) and have a specific heart rhythm pattern (left bundle branch block) with reduced pumping strength.
Huntsville, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05677100Recruiting
Aortix device for acute heart failure
This trial is testing a small pump placed in the aorta to help the kidneys remove extra fluid when standard IV diuretics aren't working well enough for severe heart failure. It may help you if you're hospitalized and still very congested (swollen, fluid buildup) despite strong water pills.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 21 years+ - NCT07581587Recruiting
Breathing Exercises and Brain Function in Heart Failure
This study tests whether special breathing exercises—done alone or while doing a mental task—can improve memory and thinking skills in people with heart failure. Researchers want to see if training your breathing muscles helps your brain work better.
Istanbul, FatihAges 40 years+ - NCT06552637Recruiting
Diaphragm stimulation for heart failure
This trial tests a device that stimulates your diaphragm (the muscle that helps you breathe) while you have heart failure. It may help improve your breathing and heart function. The study is for people with moderate heart failure symptoms whose heart pumps less blood than normal.
Tulsa, OklahomaAges 18 years+ - NCT07731490Recruiting
Early detection and treatment of heart failure
This trial tests if a medication can prevent heart failure in older adults who are at risk. It is for people aged 65 or older who are having certain heart procedures or a major surgery.
ViennaAges 65 years+ - NCT07730827Recruiting
Community program for better heart failure care
This study tests whether a program that connects you with community health workers and your care team can help you manage heart failure better. It looks at things like your living situation, medical needs, and social support to make your care more fair and personalized.
