Blood test–guided discharge for people hospitalized with heart failure
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial checks whether using a blood test (a “biomarker”) can help doctors decide when it’s safe to send people home after a hospital stay for worsening heart failure. It may help reduce avoidable readmissions while keeping you safe.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are currently hospitalized for a main problem of worsening (decompensated) heart failure
- You can provide required blood samples and agree to follow-up visits after discharge
- Your kidneys, liver, and lungs are not in a severe stage (based on specific lab and lung breathing measures)
- You are not critically unstable (not in shock) and you are not needing a breathing tube
- Your hospital blood level of NT-proBNP is not extremely high, and you are not being admitted for transplant care

This trial tests a program to manage heart failure at home after you leave the hospital. It aims to safely adjust your medications to optimal doses while you recover at home.
This study tests whether a blood test can help doctors choose the best medication for people with chronic heart failure. It aims to improve symptom control and reduce hospital stays.
This study looks at how doctors adjust heart failure medications and uses simple blood tests (biomarkers) to see how well you respond. It aims to help fine-tune your treatment so you feel better and avoid hospital stays.
This study looks at hospital and emergency patients with heart failure and uses “omics” (advanced lab data from the body) plus statistics and artificial intelligence to predict who is likely to return to the hospital soon. If it works, it could help doctors better plan follow-up care to reduce repeat hospital visits.
This trial tests a new care approach for people with heart failure who are in the hospital or emergency room and planning to go home. The goal is to see if it helps them recover and stay healthy.
This study tests whether checking a blood test (NT-proBNP) at the bedside in the heart intensive care unit helps doctors monitor how well treatment is working for people admitted with acute heart failure. The aim is to improve care for patients with fluid buildup (congestion).
