Test device for heart failure safety and how well it works
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial studies whether the ContraBand device can be safely placed in people with long-term, symptomatic heart failure and reduced heart pumping. It also looks at whether the approach is practical and tolerable, and gathers early safety information.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 18 and 85 years old
- You have chronic heart failure for more than 3 months and symptoms despite treatment
- Your heart pumping strength (LVEF) is between 20% and 40%
- You have been on the right heart-failure medicines at tolerated doses for at least 3 months
- You can walk for 6 minutes, with a distance between 100 and 400 meters

This study looks for blood markers that may help explain or predict heart problems in people who have type 2 diabetes and heart failure. To join, you may also need to be having a planned heart procedure where doctors can collect study information.
This trial studies a small implant (an “atrial shunt” device) to improve symptoms and heart function in people with chronic left heart failure that stays active despite standard medicines. It focuses on whether the implant is safe and can help you feel better and possibly breathe easier.
This trial studies a heart pacing approach in people with heart failure symptoms despite preserved heart pumping. It aims to see whether changing heart timing can improve how you feel and how your heart works during exercise.
This study tests whether using two implanted devices (CardioMems and BaroStim) can improve heart function and symptoms in people with advanced heart failure. It aims to help patients who are already on standard medications get even better results.
This study tests a new type of heart failure device implant designed for patients with a specific heart rhythm problem called left bundle branch block. The device may help your heart pump better and reduce symptoms.
This trial is testing a new way to use MRI scans to help people with heart failure who need a special pacemaker called a CRT device. It may help doctors better understand how to treat your heart condition.
