Testing a treatment approach for scar tissue after heart failure
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests an approach aimed at reducing heart scarring (fibrosis) after heart failure. It enrolls people with moderate to severe heart failure who have signs of active heart strain and can complete study tests.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be able to sign a consent form before any study testing starts
- You must be an inpatient aged 20 or older
- You have heart failure that is NYHA class II, III, or IV, with blood test markers above set thresholds
- Your heart pumping strength (ejection fraction) must be 40% or less
- You should be expected to live at least 6 months

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study uses a special PET scan to look for scarring (fibrosis) in the heart muscle of people with heart failure. It may help doctors better understand why some hearts get stiff or weak.
This study uses imaging to measure heart scarring in people with aortic stenosis, a condition where the heart valve is narrowed. It aims to better understand how scarring affects long-term outcomes.
This study looks at exercise intolerance in heart failure, using heart and lung tests to understand how symptoms affect activity. It may help researchers better identify what limits exercise and how heart failure impacts quality of life.
This trial tests whether a structured exercise program can help people with heart failure. It focuses on people who are currently not very active, aiming to improve symptoms and heart/fitness measures safely.
This study looks for blood and other markers that can explain how people with heart failure respond to exercise training. It may help researchers better tailor exercise or treatment plans for heart failure in the future.
This study tests whether a cardiac rehabilitation program (a supervised exercise and education plan) helps people recovering in the hospital from severe heart failure. It is for those aged 45–65 whose heart pumps less than 40% of its normal amount.
