Training program for people with HFpEF and PH
Part of Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a training approach for adults who have breathlessness from HFpEF (heart pumping that is preserved) together with PH (pulmonary hypertension). It aims to see if structured training can be done safely while your usual heart medicines stay stable.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be age 18 or older, and able to give informed consent
- Have HFpEF with breathing symptoms that are moderate to severe (WHO/NYHA class II–IV)
- Have pulmonary hypertension confirmed by a heart pressure test (right heart catheterization), with specific pressure thresholds at rest or exercise
- Have preserved heart pumping strength (left ventricular ejection fraction 50% or higher)
- Be on stable, optimized treatment (especially diuretics/water pills) for at least 1 month, and keep medicines the same during the study except diuretics
- Not be pregnant or breastfeeding

This trial tests a program that combines home-based and clinic-based exercise coaching to help people with heart failure get more active. It aims to improve health and quality of life.
This study tests whether a special exercise program that combines different types of training (like aerobic, strength, and balance) can improve heart and muscle function, daily abilities, and quality of life in people with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). You may benefit if your heart failure is stable and you are able to exercise safely.
This trial tests whether high-intensity interval training can improve heart function and fitness in people with a type of heart failure where the heart pumps normally but doesn't fill properly. You will do supervised exercise sessions to see if it helps you feel better and be more active.
This study tests whether a special exercise training program can help people with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) feel better and stay stable. If you have mild-to-moderate PAH and are on stable medication, you may be able to join.
This trial tests a personalized exercise program to help people with a type of heart failure called HFpEF. You may qualify if your heart still pumps well but you have trouble being active, and you are willing to use a phone app and exercise regularly.
This study looks at how well blood flow is regulated in people with HFpEF, a type of heart failure where the heart squeezes normally but doesn’t fill properly. It may help researchers understand the cause of symptoms and how to improve treatment strategies.
