Recruiting studies
- NCT05582044Recruiting
Exercise using leg suction for heart failure with preserved function
This study tests whether a specific lower-body exercise method using negative pressure (leg suction) can improve symptoms and heart-related function in people with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). You may also be offered screening if you are a healthy person, to compare results.

Blood test study to understand diabetic heart weakness
This study measures immune cells from your blood to find markers (biomarkers) that may explain or predict diabetic cardiomyopathy, a type of heart condition linked to diabetes. You may benefit mainly by being closely monitored and contributing to research that could improve future diagnosis or risk tracking.
BronAges 40–85 - NCT05878912Recruiting
Obesity and weight loss in certain heart failure patients
This study looks at how higher body weight and weight loss affect people who have heart failure with preserved pumping strength. It uses heart scans to measure how the heart and body change, which may help guide future treatment plans.

Studying muscle loss in people with heart failure or diabetes
This study looks at sarcopenia, which is age-related loss of muscle, in people with certain types of heart failure or in people with stable type 2 diabetes but no symptoms. The goal is to better understand muscle changes and what might help people stay stronger.
Leicester, LeicestershireAges 18 years+ - NCT06061549RecruitingPhase 1
Gene therapy for stiff heart failure (preserved EF)
This trial tests a one-time gene therapy for people with heart failure who still have normal pumping strength (preserved ejection fraction). It aims to improve how heart cells handle calcium, which may help the heart relax better and ease symptoms.

Colchicine for heart failure with preserved pumping function
This trial is testing whether colchicine, a medication used for gout, can help people with a specific type of heart failure where the heart pumps normally but is stiff. If you have heart failure with preserved pumping and certain signs of inflammation, this study might be a good fit.

Heart failure study with preserved pumping function
This study looks at how the heart muscle works in people with a type of heart failure where the heart pumps normally but doesn't fill properly. It aims to understand the cause better, which could lead to new treatments.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 30 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 - NCT06652763Recruiting
MRI scan for heart failure with normal pumping strength
This study uses a special MRI scan with a natural contrast agent (manganese) to look at how well the heart muscle works in people with heart failure who still have normal pumping strength. The goal is to learn more about why this type of heart failure happens.
LeicesterAges 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+ - NCT07214376Recruiting
Nerve ablation for pulmonary hypertension from left heart disease
This trial tests a device that uses a catheter to deliver energy to nerves around the pulmonary arteries, aiming to reduce high blood pressure in the lungs caused by left heart failure. It is for people with ongoing heart failure symptoms despite optimal medications.
Houma, LouisianaAges 18–85 - NCT06768437Recruiting
Heart fat and preserved ejection fraction heart failure trial
This study looks at whether fat around the heart affects a type of heart failure where the heart pumps well but is stiff (HFpEF). You may be able to join if you have this condition, are 18 or older, and can understand English.
Leicester, LeicestershireAges 18 years+ - NCT06774014Recruiting
Heart failure and diabetes: cell study
This study looks at how cells talk to each other in people who have both diabetes and heart failure. It may help doctors understand these conditions better.
Leeds, West YorkshireAges 18 years+ - NCT06785506Recruiting
Personalized heart failure treatment using multiple biomarkers
This trial tests if using a combination of biomarkers can help personalize treatment for people with a specific type of heart failure called HFpEF (or heart failure with preserved ejection fraction). It aims to find better treatments based on your individual test results.
Alkmaar, North HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT06803849Recruiting
Biomarkers and pregnancy history for heart failure prognosis
This study looks at whether certain substances in the blood and your history of pregnancy complications can help predict the course of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (a type of heart failure where the heart pumps well but doesn't relax properly). It may help doctors better understand and manage this condition in older women.
MoscowAges 60–74 - NCT06826963Recruiting
Eccentric exercise for older adults with heart failure and muscle loss
This study tests whether a special type of exercise (eccentric, or lengthening, exercises) can help older adults with heart failure who also have muscle loss. It aims to see if the exercise is safe and improves strength and function.
Verona, VeronaAges 65–85 - NCT06833138Recruiting
Pacing vs medication for heart rate control in AF with heart failure
This trial tests whether a procedure that regulates your heart rhythm (pacing) works better than medication for people who have permanent atrial fibrillation, heart failure with a normal pumping strength, and were hospitalized for heart failure in the past year.
AalstAges 18 years+ - NCT06862908RecruitingPhase 2
Study of IBI362 for heart failure with obesity
This study tests a new medicine called IBI362 for people with heart failure and obesity. The medicine may help improve symptoms and quality of life. You must have a specific type of heart failure (HFpEF or HFmrEF) and a BMI of 28 or higher.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06909682Recruiting
AI monitoring with wearables for chronic heart failure
This trial tests an AI system that uses wearable devices and mini-invasive tools to monitor people with chronic heart failure. The goal is to detect changes early and help manage the condition at home.
SalernoAges 19 years+ - NCT07057466Recruiting
AI heart check for hidden valve, pressure, or pump problems
This study uses an artificial intelligence (AI) program to read your ECG (a heart tracing) and detect early signs of heart failure, high blood pressure in the lungs, or valve disease before you have symptoms. The goal is to see if AI can catch these problems early.
BristolAges 18–90 - NCT07178145RecruitingPhase 4
Heart fat and heart failure with preserved pumping ability study
This study looks at fat around the heart in people with heart failure where the heart still pumps normally. It uses MRI scans to understand this fat better, and may help find new treatments.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for preserved ejection fraction?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 126 recruiting preserved ejection fraction 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 preserved ejection fraction 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 preserved ejection fraction 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.
