Exercise training for heart failure with preserved pumping function
Part of Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a structured exercise training program can improve symptoms and quality of life in people with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), a condition where the heart pumps normally but is too stiff to fill properly. Participants will receive exercise training alongside their usual heart failure medications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have been diagnosed with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), meaning your heart's pumping ability is normal (at least 50%) but it doesn't relax properly
- You have high pressure in the lungs or heart during rest or exercise, as confirmed by a heart catheterization test
- You are on stable heart failure medications, including diuretics (water pills), and have been stable for at least one month
- You do not have other types of pulmonary hypertension, severe heart valve disease, or severe lung disease
- You are able to walk and participate in exercise training

This study looks at how the heart muscle works in people with a type of heart failure where the heart pumps normally but doesn't fill properly. It aims to understand the cause better, which could lead to new treatments.
This study tests whether a specific lower-body exercise method using negative pressure (leg suction) can improve symptoms and heart-related function in people with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). You may also be offered screening if you are a healthy person, to compare results.
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 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 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 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.
