Genk, BelgiumAges Any age - 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+ - NCT05961748Recruiting
Brain and heart illness registry for adults in China
This study is a registry that collects health information from adults who have certain new heart and/or brain conditions. It may help researchers understand how these problems occur together and improve future care planning.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07416279Recruiting
Can tiny bubbles replace catheters for heart pressure checks?
This trial tests if tiny ultrasound contrast bubbles can measure heart pressure, possibly replacing the need for catheter tubes. If you're already getting a heart catheterization, you may be able to join.
LondonAges 21–81 - NCT05390411Enrolling by invitation
Training to improve how advanced heart failure therapies are chosen
This study tests a program that helps care teams make more consistent, fair decisions about advanced heart failure treatments like heart transplants and mechanical heart pumps. It focuses on how professionals are trained and evaluated, not on patients receiving a new medicine.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 18 years+ - NCT05451979Recruiting
Exercise training at home for kids after heart transplant
This trial tests a home-based, short bursts exercise program (HIIT using the MedBIKE™ system) for children who had a heart transplant at least 6 months ago. It may help improve fitness and safety after transplant, while checking which kids can participate without heart rhythm or symptom problems.
Edmonton, AlbertaAges 10–18 - NCT06332391Recruiting
Paced heart rate increase for heart conditioning
This trial tests whether a special pacing pattern can strengthen your heart's pumping ability. You may qualify if you have heart failure with a low ejection fraction and already have a pacemaker or defibrillator with an atrial lead.
Iowa City, IowaAges 18–120 - NCT07083557Recruiting
Validation study for lab tests on hormones and metabolism
This study checks if lab tests used for hormone, heart, metabolism, and muscle disorders are accurate and reliable. You might be eligible if you are an adult with a body mass index between 16 and 60.
Columbia, MissouriAges 18–100 - NCT00762333Recruiting
Blood tests after a heart attack to study heart strain markers
This study looks at blood test “markers” soon after an acute heart attack, to better understand heart damage and whether heart failure is present. It may help doctors improve how they monitor recovery and risk in people after a heart attack.
Farmington, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT07407816Recruiting
Supira heart support device for high-risk artery stenting
This trial tests a new device (the Supira system) that helps support your heart's pumping function during and after a high-risk procedure to open blocked coronary arteries. It is for people with heart failure and complex blockages who may need extra circulatory support.
