Heart failure treatment to help thinking and memory
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests whether better managing heart failure after a hospital stay can protect against thinking and memory problems. It is for people who have heart failure and have had some cognitive difficulties.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You were in the hospital for heart failure.
- You have some memory or thinking problems (mild cognitive impairment).
- You can provide written consent and are not in hospice or palliative care.
- You are not in another clinical trial.
- Your thinking problems do not get much better within two weeks after leaving the hospital.
- You do not have a terminal illness (such as advanced cancer) that could affect your long-term outlook.

This study follows adults with type 2 diabetes to see who may develop heart problems and who may have memory or thinking changes over time. It may help doctors better predict risk and plan earlier support.
This trial studies whether a noninvasive ultrasound test of blood flow in the brain, along with memory and thinking questionnaires, can help explain thinking changes in people with stable heart failure. It may help researchers better understand why some people develop cognitive (thinking) difficulties as heart failure progresses.
This study looks at how common mild cognitive impairment and dementia are in people staying in rehabilitation units for heart, lung, or orthopedic problems. It aims to understand memory and thinking issues that may be overlooked in these settings.
This trial tests a structured, multi-part rehabilitation program to help people with early dementia symptoms from vascular or mixed causes. If you qualify, you may be offered the rehab program and compared with another approach to see if thinking and daily function improve.
This study looks at memory and thinking changes using questionnaires, memory testing, and brain scans. It may help researchers better understand neurodegeneration and dementia and how these problems show up over time.
This trial looks at people over age 50 who have mild thinking or memory problems but do not have dementia by standard clinical criteria. It tests how these early changes are characterized and measured using exams such as blood tests and brain scans, which may help improve understanding and future care.
