Follow-up study for an artificial heart you may receive
This study follows people who are planning to receive the Aeson TAH (total artificial heart) under normal care. It mainly checks outcomes after the device is placed, helping doctors monitor safety and performance over time.
DresdenAges 18 years+ - NCT01759225Enrolling by invitation
Registry study of people with heart and blood vessel disease
This is a registry (a study that collects health information) for people with certain heart and blood vessel conditions. It may help researchers better understand who has these diseases, how they are managed, and outcomes over time.
Tel AvivAges Any age - NCT01099982Recruiting
Studying heart tissue and blood changes after advanced heart care
This trial studies how blood and heart tissue change in people with advanced heart failure who are getting an LVAD (a heart pump) or a heart transplant. It may help doctors better understand what’s happening in the heart before and after these treatments.
Murray, UtahAges 13 years+ - NCT05397392Recruiting
Diagnosis and treatment plan for heart–kidney problems
This study looks at the best way to diagnose and treat different types of heart-and-kidney problems that happen together. It may help you (or your caregiver) get the right classification and treatment approach based on how your heart and kidneys are affected.
NanjingAges 18 years+ - NCT07079735RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Preventing CMV after heart transplant
This trial compares two antiviral drugs, valganciclovir and letermovir, to see which works better at preventing CMV infection after a heart transplant. If you've had a heart transplant and haven't started preventive treatment yet, this study may be for you.
New York, New YorkAges 18–99 - NCT07257289Recruiting
Heart risk study for inherited heart conditions
This study looks at people with inherited heart diseases and their relatives to better predict risks of dangerous heart rhythms or heart failure. It may help find out if you or your family members need closer monitoring.
BordeauxAges 1–100 - NCT03102125RecruitingPhase 4
Testing causes of heart transplant graft problems with scans
This study looks at why heart transplant “grafts” can start to malfunction again after transplant. If you qualify, you may undergo MRI and related heart testing to help researchers find ways to detect or understand graft dysfunction.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05519046Recruiting
Test a heart pacing treatment for Chagas-related heart failure
This study looks at a heart treatment called cardiac contractility modulation in people with Chagas heart disease who have moderate symptoms and weak heart pumping. It aims to see whether this therapy improves heart function and related outcomes in the right patients.
São Paulo, São PauloAges 18–75 - NCT04466852Recruiting
Telemedicine program after hospital discharge for heart failure
This trial checks whether follow-up by telemedicine after a hospital stay for heart failure can help patients after discharge. It may help you stay connected to care without frequent in-person visits.
Rio de JaneiroAges 18 years+ - NCT07434193Recruiting
Pacing study after aortic valve replacement
This trial tests if special pacing of the heart's lower chambers (called cardiac resynchronization therapy, or CRT) can help people who develop a new electrical delay in the heart after having a transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVI). The study compares two types of pacing to see which works better for recovery.
BudapestAges 18 years+ - NCT03987633Recruiting
Study links health records and samples to understand health gaps
This study asks people affected by a specific illness (or their family member) to share saliva (and sometimes blood) and answer health and quality-of-life questions. The goal is to better understand and reduce health inequality by matching new information with medical records.
Wolverhampton, West MidlandsAges 6 years+ - NCT07270718Recruiting
Beetroot powder for blood pressure in men with hypertension
This trial tests whether taking 20 grams of beetroot powder daily can help lower blood pressure and improve blood flow in men who already have high blood pressure under control with medication. Beetroot is rich in nitrates, which may relax blood vessels.
MoscowAges 18–60 - NCT06954103Recruiting
Stroke and heart health study for recent stroke patients
This study looks at how a moderate to severe stroke can affect your heart. It aims to understand the link between stroke and heart problems, which may help improve future care.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT07537517Recruiting
Understanding heart failure and blood vessel pressure changes
This research study examines how certain biological pathways work in patients with heart failure who need heart catheterization (a procedure to measure heart pressures). By understanding these pathways, researchers hope to develop better treatments for pulmonary hypertension, a condition where blood pressure in the lungs becomes dangerously high.
Madrid, MadridAges 18 years+ - NCT06082063RecruitingPhase 3
Reducing heart disease risk in type 1 diabetes
This trial tests a combination of treatments to lower the risk of heart disease and kidney problems in people with type 1 diabetes who already have some complications or higher risk. If you qualify, you will receive extra care aimed at preventing heart attacks, strokes, and kidney failure.
CopenhagenAges 40–90 - NCT06726109Recruiting
FOCUS study on acute heart failure
This trial is studying patients admitted to the hospital for acute heart failure. It will collect information to better understand and treat people with low heart pumping strength (ejection fraction less than 40%) and fluid retention.
Genk, BelgiumAges Any age - NCT06217302RecruitingPhase 3
Sotagliflozin for kidney protection in type 1 diabetes
This study tests whether sotagliflozin (a pill that helps control blood sugar and protects the kidneys) can slow down kidney function decline in people with type 1 diabetes and diabetic kidney disease. You may qualify if you have had type 1 diabetes for at least 8 years, have moderate kidney damage, and are on standard treatments.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18–75 - NCT06150950Recruiting

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.
