Testing how heart cells use fuel in heart failure
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how the heart uses energy fuel in people with heart failure, including those with type 2 diabetes. It may help researchers understand what’s going on inside the heart and how it could be treated in the future.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 20 and 85 years old
- You have ongoing heart failure that is moderate to severe (NYHA II to IV)
- You need a heart muscle biopsy because of your care (or you may be studied after a transplant, with a reason for biopsy)
- You can provide written informed consent (and understand the study well enough to decide)
- You are not currently pregnant
- You have no major recent infections, HIV/AIDS, or hepatitis B/C

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks for blood markers that may help explain or predict heart problems in people who have type 2 diabetes and heart failure. To join, you may also need to be having a planned heart procedure where doctors can collect study information.
This study looks at how cells talk to each other in people who have both diabetes and heart failure. It may help doctors understand these conditions better.
This study looks for early, “silent” changes in heart function in adults with type 2 diabetes, even if you feel okay. It uses heart scans and looks for factors that may help explain why these changes happen.
This study uses a heart scan (MRI) to learn more about how the heart is affected in people with type 2 diabetes. It may help researchers better understand changes in the heart over time and who might benefit from future care.
This study looks at how heart muscle strength changes in people with heart failure and/or diabetes. Researchers will use a pacemaker to safely measure tiny changes in heart function.
This study uses two imaging scans to see if parts of your heart muscle are still alive but not working well. This could help doctors decide if you might benefit from heart bypass surgery.
