Saint-EtienneAges 18 years+ - NCT06699056Recruiting
AI heart monitor study for ejection fraction
This study uses an AI-powered wearable monitor to check how well your heart pumps blood (ejection fraction) from a simple EKG recording. It may help doctors quickly assess heart function without extra tests.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06681740Recruiting
Breathing muscle training for heart disease patients
This study tests whether a special breathing exercise program can help people who have had a heart attack and a procedure to open blocked heart arteries. The exercises strengthen the muscles you use to breathe, which may improve your recovery and quality of life.
MálagaAges 18–80 - NCT06690684Enrolling by invitation
Finding new blood markers for heart disease
This study is looking for people who have had a heart attack or have heart failure to discover new markers in your blood that could help doctors better understand and treat heart disease. By collecting samples and health data, researchers hope to find clues that improve care for future patients.
Shanghai, Jing 'an DistrictAges 30 years+ - NCT06677970RecruitingPhase 3
Blood Pressure Control After Stroke Thrombectomy
This trial tests whether carefully lowering blood pressure after a mechanical clot removal procedure for stroke can improve outcomes. If you've had a large vessel stroke that was successfully treated with thrombectomy, this study will help guide blood pressure management in the recovery period.
Seoul, SeoulAges 20 years+ - NCT06658197RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing a new clot-busting drug for severe stroke
This study tests a medication called tenecteplase, given before a procedure to remove a large blood clot in the brain. It may help people who have had a severe stroke within the last 4.5 hours.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06666764RecruitingPhase 3
Oxygen therapy for stroke patients transferred for clot removal
This trial tests whether giving high-concentration oxygen (normobaric oxygen) during transfer to a hospital that can remove a blood clot can help people with acute ischemic stroke. It is for patients who are being transferred specifically for endovascular therapy (EVT) to remove a large clot in the brain.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06649240Recruiting
Optimal LDL cholesterol goal for small vessel stroke
This trial compares different LDL cholesterol targets after a small vessel stroke to find the best level for preventing another stroke. If you've had this type of stroke, you may be able to help doctors decide the right treatment goal.
AnsanAges 19 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+ - NCT06631157Recruiting
Essential Pro study for routine hospital patients
This trial is studying the Essential Pro device or treatment in patients who are already using it as part of their normal hospital care. The goal is to see how well it works in everyday practice.
