Classify mitral regurgitation using heart scans
This study uses heart imaging to better understand different types of mitral valve leak (mitral regurgitation) and how it relates to heart pumping function. Results may help doctors match people to the most appropriate care based on scan “patterns.”
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06635863Enrolling by invitationPhase 4
Steroids versus standard heart medications for heart inflammation
This study compares two treatment strategies for people with unexplained heart failure and irregular heartbeats caused by inflammation: one group gets standard heart medications plus an immune-suppressing steroid (prednisone), and the other gets standard medications alone. Doctors want to see whether adding steroids helps improve heart function and control dangerous heart rhythms.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05632432Recruiting
Heart tissue grafts to help the heart after surgery
This trial tests whether transplanting tiny heart “micrografts” from the left heart chamber area can improve heart function after cardiac surgery. It is meant for people with weakened heart pumping and heart failure symptoms despite medicine.
Helsinki, UusimaaAges 18–75 - NCT05713357Enrolling by invitation
Mapping the heart’s electrical signals after VT ablation
This study checks whether repeating detailed “electrical mapping” inside the heart can better assess how well catheter ablation is working for an abnormal heart rhythm called ventricular tachycardia. It may help doctors fine-tune treatment plans after your procedure, based on how your heart’s signals change over time.
LjubljanaAges 18–85 - NCT07345338Enrolling by invitation
Genetic testing for non-ischemic heart muscle disease
This study offers genetic testing to adults with a type of heart muscle disease (non-ischemic cardiomyopathy or dilated cardiomyopathy) that is not caused by blocked arteries. The goal is to find genetic causes, which may guide treatment and family screening.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 18 years+ - NCT06920030Recruiting
Testing a new heart device for heart failure
This trial tests a new device that delivers a gentle electrical current to the heart to improve its pumping strength. It is for people with a certain type of heart failure caused by weak heart muscle, not a blocked artery.
Banja Luka, Republic of SrbskaAges 18–75 - NCT06243653Recruiting
Heart microvessel function test for heart failure recovery
This trial looks at how tiny blood vessels in the heart affect improvement in heart pumping strength for people with heart failure. It tests whether a special procedure during heart catheterization can predict recovery.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT05828719Recruiting
Compare heart stent treatment vs medicines for weak heart function
This study looks at whether opening blocked heart arteries with a stent (a PCI procedure) works better than staying on heart medicines for people with weakened pumping function and certain types of heart failure. It may help patients by testing which approach best improves outcomes over time.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT06055504Recruiting
Personalized defibrillator plan for non-ischemic heart failure (SPANISH-1)
This trial is testing a personalized approach to deciding who gets an implantable defibrillator (ICD) for people with heart failure due to dilated cardiomyopathy (not from blocked arteries). It aims to see if MRI scans and other factors can better match the device to those who need it most.
Santiago de Compostela, A CoruñaAges 18 years+ - NCT07265349RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Stem cells plus bypass surgery for chronic heart failure
This trial tests whether injecting stem cells from umbilical cord tissue into the heart muscle during bypass surgery can improve heart function in people with chronic heart failure. It is for patients who are already scheduled for bypass surgery and have a weakened heart pump (LVEF between 21% and 40%).
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT05511246RecruitingPhase 2
Alcohol injection for fast heart rhythm
This trial tests injecting ethanol (alcohol) into a vein near the heart to treat a dangerous fast heart rhythm called ventricular tachycardia. It may be an option for people who have an implanted defibrillator and have not found relief with other treatments.
Houston, TexasAges 18–85 - NCT05329285Recruiting
Compare bypass or stent for heart weakness from blocked arteries
This study compares two ways to improve blood flow in people with weakened heart pumping (ischemic cardiomyopathy): bypass surgery (CABG) versus stent treatment (PCI). It aims to see which approach works better when the heart still has enough at-risk muscle and when best medical therapy is already started.
GothenburgAges 18 years+ - NCT05427370Recruiting
Compare bypass or stent treatment in weak heart patients
This study compares two ways to restore blood flow to the heart—bypass surgery (CABG) or stent procedure (PCI)—in people with a weak pumping heart. It looks at which approach works best when the heart muscle is not pumping well and there are multiple blocked heart arteries.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05568069Recruiting
Study of defibrillator implants for non-ischemic weak heart
This study looks at whether implantable defibrillators can reduce dangerous heart rhythms in people with non-ischemic cardiomyopathy (heart weakness not caused by blocked heart arteries), a heart scar, and very low pumping strength despite best treatment. It compares different approaches to choosing which patients should receive these devices.
High Wycombe, BuckinghamshireAges 18 years+ - NCT06556485Recruiting
Early ablation for heart failure patients with heart pumps or on transplant list
This trial tests whether doing a catheter ablation early (before dangerous heart rhythms start) can help people with severe heart failure who need a heart transplant or already have an ICD. The goal is to see if this can improve outcomes.
Bad OeynhausenAges 18–99 - NCT06814587Recruiting
New imaging for heart muscle damage after a heart attack
This study uses special imaging scans (MRI and PET) to look at the health of the heart muscle in people with advanced heart failure caused by blocked arteries. The goal is to better predict recovery after bypass surgery.
Dallas, TexasAges 20–80 - NCT07308704Recruiting
Using AI to spot heart muscle disease on echocardiograms
This study at Mayo Clinic is testing an artificial intelligence (AI) tool that analyzes echocardiograms (ultrasound of the heart) to find early signs of four types of heart muscle disease. If the AI flags a high-risk pattern, doctors can learn whether acting on that alert helps catch the condition sooner.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06965621RecruitingPhase 2
Heart Nerve Imaging in Heart Failure with ICD
This study uses a special imaging agent (18F-mFBG) to take pictures of the nerves in your heart. It aims to better understand heart function in people with heart failure and an ICD.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07116525Recruiting
Study of heart mapping for abnormal rhythms
This trial tests a special catheter to map abnormal heart rhythms like ventricular tachycardia or atrial fibrillation. It may help patients who need a procedure to find and treat the source of these fast or irregular heartbeats.
BrugesAges 18 years+ - NCT06646601Recruiting
