Breathing-targeted program to improve function in HFpEF
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial studies a breathing-focused treatment to help people with HFpEF (a type of heart failure) feel and function better. It may help improve daily activity by addressing breathing limits that commonly come with this condition.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have signs and symptoms of heart failure
- Your heart pumping test shows ejection fraction above 50%
- You have evidence of “diastolic dysfunction,” such as high NT-proBNP (over 300) or a recent heart failure hospitalization
- You are age 55 or older (or you are a healthy volunteer, if that applies to you)
- Your body mass index (BMI) is 50 or lower
- You do not have conditions that strongly affect breathing or mobility (like severe COPD or limited walking)

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.
This Phase 2 study tests how matching heart “filling pressure” and heart muscle “energy use” may improve understanding or treatment of HFpEF, a type of heart failure with preserved pumping strength. You may be asked to have heart scans/tests and follow a study plan if your symptoms and test results fit.
This trial tests an investigational drug called HS235 in people who have both obesity (BMI 30-50) and a specific type of heart failure with preserved pumping function, along with high blood pressure in the lungs. The goal is to see if the drug can improve symptoms and quality of life.
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 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.
