Weight and heart disease study
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how being overweight affects heart health. It tests a program that includes monthly check-ins and surveys, and is for people with a BMI of 30 or higher who also have a heart condition. The goal is to learn more about how to help people with both weight and heart concerns.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at how obesity and weight loss affect people living with heart failure where the heart pumping strength is reduced. It uses heart imaging (MRI) to measure the heart and may help clarify what weight changes do for symptoms and heart function.
This study looks at how higher body weight and weight loss affect people who have heart failure with preserved pumping strength. It uses heart scans to measure how the heart and body change, which may help guide future treatment plans.
This study looks at the health outcomes of people with common heart conditions like coronary artery disease, high blood pressure, heart failure, or cardiomyopathy. It may help researchers understand how these conditions progress and how to better manage them.
This trial looks at how weight loss changes tiny particles released from fat cells and whether that improves blood vessel function. It may help understand how losing weight can protect your heart.
This trial is a quick survey to find out if you may be eligible for future studies on heart health, weight, or hormone-related conditions. It helps researchers match you with the right treatment options.
This study looks at heart health risks in people with obesity who have not had heart disease before. It aims to understand how obesity affects cardiometabolic risk factors.
