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 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.
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 a program for people with a type of heart failure called HFpEF, where the heart pumps normally but is too stiff to fill properly. It aims to help high-risk patients after they leave the hospital, potentially improving their health 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.
