Heart failure follow-up blood tests after hospital discharge
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study checks whether short-term follow-up blood test results after you leave the hospital can predict how you do with heart failure. It may help doctors choose better follow-up and treatment plans based on your early test trends.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a diagnosis of heart failure based on your heart’s pumping strength or test results
- If your ejection fraction is under 40%, you must have heart failure symptoms or signs
- If your ejection fraction is 40% or higher, you must have symptoms/signs plus high natriuretic peptide levels and evidence of structural heart disease
- You should not have a serious illness that is expected to limit your life to less than 3 months
- You must be reachable by phone at the end of the study and be willing to be contacted

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 follows adults with chronic or newly diagnosed heart failure to learn how patients do after they leave the hospital, mainly while taking heart medicines by mouth. It may help researchers better understand which patients have different outcomes and needs.
This study looks for markers in the blood that can predict whether the heart's pumping function improves in people with chronic heart failure. It may help doctors understand which treatments work best for each person.
This study monitors heart failure patients after a hospital stay or urgent clinic visit to better understand the signs of worsening heart failure. It may help researchers find ways to predict and prevent future exacerbations.
This study looks at how “personalized” (precision) treatment planning for heart failure may work, using results from heart imaging (echocardiogram) or a blood test called B-type natriuretic peptide. You may join if you have heart failure and can follow frequent study check-ins.
This study follows people with heart failure over time to record outcomes like illness course and death, and to understand how treatments affect results. If you have heart failure and can join regular check-ins, your information may help improve future care.
