Bengbu, AnhuiAges 65 years+ - NCT07835828Recruiting
Optimised heart and kidney protection for chronic kidney disease and heart disease
This study tests a new approach to protect the heart and kidneys in people with both chronic kidney disease and heart or blood vessel problems. By optimising treatment, researchers hope to reduce the risk of further kidney or heart damage.
SvendborgAges 18 years+ - NCT04602338Recruiting
Imaging tests to better diagnose heart failure with preserved function
This trial uses several types of heart imaging to diagnose heart failure where squeezing function is still fairly normal. It may help doctors sort out what’s causing your symptoms and guide better care by comparing imaging findings across many patients.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT04603404Recruiting
Imaging tests to find and predict HFpEF risk
This study uses different heart imaging tests to help screen for HFpEF (heart failure with preserved pumping strength), make the diagnosis, and estimate your future risk. You may benefit by getting a clearer diagnosis and a better risk picture based on the scans.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT06208007Recruiting
Predicting heart failure with stiff arteries
This study looks at whether stiffer arteries can help predict a type of heart failure where the heart doesn't relax properly (HFpEF). It's for people who have risk factors like high blood pressure, diabetes, or being older, and who may have early signs of heart trouble.
Göttingen, Lower SaxonyAges 18 years+ - NCT07795814RecruitingPhase 2
Study of a new medicine for heart failure with preserved pumping function
This study tests an investigational medicine called EDG-15400 for people with a type of heart failure where the heart muscle is stiff and doesn't relax properly, even though the pumping function is normal. The goal is to see if the medicine improves symptoms and daily functioning.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 30–84 - NCT07776054RecruitingPhase 4
SGLT2 inhibitor after heart shock for atrial fibrillation with heart failure
This study tests whether a diabetes drug called an SGLT2 inhibitor can help keep your heart in a normal rhythm after a procedure to shock it back into rhythm. It is for people with persistent atrial fibrillation and a type of heart failure where the heart is stiff.
Seoul, SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT06652087Recruiting
Testing rifaximin for heart failure with preserved pumping
This trial tests whether the antibiotic rifaximin (taken by mouth) can improve heart function in people with a type of heart failure where the heart pumps well but is still weak (HFpEF). Rifaximin might help by changing the bacteria in your gut.
MoscowAges 18–80 - NCT07693049Recruiting
Exercise training for heart failure with preserved pumping ability
This trial tests whether high-intensity interval training can improve heart function and fitness in people with a type of heart failure where the heart pumps normally but doesn't fill properly. You will do supervised exercise sessions to see if it helps you feel better and be more active.
BeijingAges 35–70 - NCT07662655RecruitingEarly Phase 1
PADN for pulmonary hypertension after mitral valve repair
This study tests a new procedure called pulmonary artery denervation (PADN) to lower high blood pressure in the lungs that persists after a mitral valve repair. It aims to see if this extra treatment improves symptoms and outcomes for people with this condition.
