Study how donor heart function affects transplant outcomes
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how well donor hearts work and how that affects outcomes after heart transplantation. It may help transplant teams choose and use donor hearts more effectively.

This study looks at the genes of people who are getting a heart transplant at our center. By understanding your DNA, researchers hope to learn more about how to improve transplant care.
This study tests whether a small biopsy taken from a donor heart before transplant can predict how well the heart will work after surgery. The goal is to improve transplant success for recipients.
This trial looks at how metabolism changes after a heart transplant and whether those changes affect your long-term health and recovery. It is for people who are planning to have or have already had a heart transplant.
This study is creating a registry to track and learn from people with advanced heart failure or who have had a heart transplant. By joining, you help researchers better understand these conditions and improve care.
This study looks at how the heart muscle is kept healthy after donation and before transplant in children. It aims to improve transplant success.
This trial tests whether using a different method to store a donated heart before transplant improves outcomes. It compares “non-ischemic preservation” versus standard cold storage for people getting a new heart.
