Testing an informed approach for older adults with HFpEF
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at an “informed” approach to help manage HFpEF (a type of heart failure) in people age 65 and older. It checks whether a structured plan and monitoring are practical and safe for you over time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be an adult age 65 or older who has HFpEF (heart failure symptoms plus ejection fraction 50% or higher)
- You are currently taking a beta-blocker
- Your HFpEF is not mainly caused by certain heart valve or heart sac conditions (like severe aortic stenosis or constrictive pericarditis)
- You do not have reasons you must take a beta-blocker for other medical problems (like recent heart attack/heart bypass, certain serious rhythm problems, or very recent rapid heart/rhythm hospitalizations)
- Your condition should be stable: no heart failure hospitalization in the last 30 days and no major medication/procedure changes in the last 14 days
Quick eligibility check
Answer a few plain-language questions, based on this study's own requirements, to get a preliminary sense of fit.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study checks whether safely stopping beta-blocker medicine is possible in some people with heart failure with preserved pumping (EF ≥50%). It may help by testing whether reducing the medication is safe and workable for certain patients.
This study helps older adults with heart failure gradually increase their beta-blocker dose to a level that guidelines recommend, using an approach tailored to each person.
This study uses a smartphone app to test how different beta blocker doses work best for you. It's for older adults with stable heart failure who want to fine-tune their treatment.
This trial tests whether it is safe to gradually stop beta-blocker medication in older adults with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (a type of heart failure where the heart pumps normally but is stiff). It aims to improve quality of life by reducing unnecessary medications.
This study is testing better ways to understand and manage heart failure where the heart pumps normally but still doesn't work as well as it should. It looks at people with symptoms like shortness of breath and fatigue, using blood tests and heart imaging to check eligibility.
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.
