A condition where the heart can’t pump blood as well as it should. We’re tracking 981 recruiting studies, each written for real people, not researchers, below.
Recruiting studies
- NCT03480633Recruiting
Heart failure precision medicine registry
This registry collects health and heart-related information to better understand heart failure (with preserved or reduced pumping strength) and guide more precise care. You may be asked to share tests and results, and help researchers learn which patterns match different types of heart failure.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT03772275Recruiting
Tests new blood markers in chronic heart failure patients
This study looks at whether certain new blood tests (biomarkers) can help doctors learn more about chronic heart failure. You might be asked for blood samples and health information, and the results could improve how heart failure is understood in the future.
Tanta, ElgharbiaAges 18–75 - NCT03951311Recruiting
Diet and lifestyle study for people with weaker heart pumping
This study looks at how metabolic changes, diet, and lifestyle patterns affect heart failure. It may help find ways to improve symptoms and health by targeting diet and daily habits.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 14–90 - 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+ - NCT07701876Recruiting
Heart failure recovery markers study
This study looks for markers in the blood that can predict whether the heart's pumping function improves in people with chronic heart failure. It may help doctors understand which treatments work best for each person.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–90 - NCT04062500Recruiting
Heart failure patient follow-up study to track health and deaths
This study follows people with heart failure over time to record outcomes like illness course and death, and to understand how treatments affect results. If you have heart failure and can join regular check-ins, your information may help improve future care.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–90 - NCT04149743Recruiting
Testing a heart-watching patch to track short-term heart failure outcomes
This trial checks whether a medical patch called HEMOTAG can help doctors predict or track how patients do shortly after a hospital stay for worsening heart failure. It may help improve early monitoring and treatment decisions after discharge.
Weston, FloridaAges 22 years+ - NCT04237701Recruiting
Tracking heart failure in real time at Yale
This trial looks at how people with heart failure are doing using real-time monitoring across the Yale New Haven Health System. It may help improve care by spotting problems sooner and tracking treatment effects.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT04262830Recruiting
Heart scans to predict future heart failure after chemotherapy
This trial uses detailed heart imaging (a special MRI scan) to see how chemotherapy may have affected your heart and to predict who could develop heart failure later. If you qualify, it may help your care team better monitor your heart health over time.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 13–39 - NCT04305717Recruiting
Check fluid levels with a special sensor in hospitalized heart failure
This study uses a noninvasive device (ReDS) to estimate fluid buildup in people hospitalized with acute heart failure. It may help doctors monitor fluid status and guide care more accurately during a hospital stay.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT04396899RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Stem cell heart patch for advanced heart failure
This early-phase study tests a lab-made heart tissue (“engineered myocardium”) placed surgically to help the heart work better in people with advanced heart failure. It mainly checks safety first, and also looks for signs the patch can improve heart function in selected patients.
Göttingen, Lower SaxonyAges 18–80 - NCT04437628Recruiting
Heart failure follow-up blood tests after hospital discharge
This study checks whether short-term follow-up blood test results after you leave the hospital can predict how you do with heart failure. It may help doctors choose better follow-up and treatment plans based on your early test trends.
Wŏnju, GangwondoAges 18 years+ - NCT04438213RecruitingPhase 2
Ertugliflozin for chronic heart failure with added urine testing
This Phase 2 trial studies whether the medication ertugliflozin can help people with chronic heart failure. You would be asked to follow a set treatment plan and complete repeated urine (and other) testing to see how your body responds.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT04554277Recruiting
Blood test-guided care for people hospitalized with heart failure
This study checks whether using a specific blood test (called sST-2) to guide heart-failure treatment leads to better care and outcomes. It may help by tailoring treatment decisions based on your test results.
Montpellier, OccitanieAges 18 years+ - NCT04590001Recruiting
Test MobiusHD device for certain heart failure patients
This trial studies whether the MobiusHD® implant can improve symptoms or function in people with heart failure who are still limited in everyday activity. You may be eligible if your heart failure tests show moderate heart weakness and you meet specific walking and lab criteria.
Darlinghurst, SydneyAges 18 years+ - NCT04703842RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study drug effect on heart muscle calcium in advanced heart failure
This trial tests a treatment intended to improve how heart muscle cells handle calcium, which may help heart failure symptoms and heart function. It is mainly for people with advanced heart failure and a low pumping strength of the heart.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 18–80 - NCT04741711Recruiting
At-home ultrasound to help manage heart failure
This study tests whether using lung ultrasound at regular visits can help guide care for people with heart failure. It may help doctors spot worsening fluid problems earlier, before symptoms become severe.
BesançonAges 18 years+ - NCT04829617Recruiting
Program to improve daily habits in heart failure
This trial studies a program designed to help people with heart failure improve health habits like diet, exercise, and taking medicines. It may help you feel better and stay on track if your current routines are hard to follow.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06526988Recruiting
Heart failure medication optimization study for clinicians and patients
This study tests tools to help doctors and patients work together to start or adjust heart failure medicines. You may qualify if your heart's pumping strength is low and you are missing certain recommended medications.

Exercise program to improve thinking and brain blood flow in heart failure
This trial tests whether doing a combined mental (cognitive) and physical exercise program can improve thinking and how well blood flows to the brain in people with chronic heart failure. It may help by strengthening both brain function and physical capacity while your heart condition stays stable.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for heart failure?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 981 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.
