Training to improve how advanced heart failure therapies are chosen
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a program that helps care teams make more consistent, fair decisions about advanced heart failure treatments like heart transplants and mechanical heart pumps. It focuses on how professionals are trained and evaluated, not on patients receiving a new medicine.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You work at a heart transplant and/or mechanical heart pump (VAD) center that is actively performing these services
- Your center must regularly evaluate many patients from different backgrounds and genders for advanced heart failure treatments
- You are an advanced therapy team member at a participating center (such as a coordinator, doctor, pharmacist, nurse, or social worker)
- You may be invited to join the interview part if your name is on the center’s training/meeting attendance list
- Your center must be able to fully take part in the training and evaluation steps

This study tests whether a program that connects you with community health workers and your care team can help you manage heart failure better. It looks at things like your living situation, medical needs, and social support to make your care more fair and personalized.
This study tests different treatments for heart failure, a condition where the heart doesn't pump blood as well as it should. It aims to find better ways to manage symptoms and improve quality of life for people who are hospitalized or living with heart failure at home.
This trial tests a program called I-TRANSFER-HF to improve how heart failure patients move from hospital to home with home health care. It aims to help you have a smoother recovery and avoid coming back to the hospital.
This study is about creating a better, faster way to evaluate people with congenital heart disease for a heart or lung transplant. It tests a standardized process that helps doctors decide together if a transplant is the right option.
This study compares two ways of deciding on heart treatment for people with diabetes and blockages in all three main heart arteries. You'll be assigned by chance to either have a team of heart specialists discuss your case in real time (using an electronic system) or receive the usual way of making the decision, to see if one leads to better outcomes.
This study tests whether messages from a large language model (a type of AI) can help doctors prescribe the right medicines for heart failure. It may help people with heart failure get the best guideline-recommended treatments.
