Biomarker study for suspected heart failure
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at certain proteins in your blood to help doctors better understand and diagnose a type of heart failure called HFpEF. You might be able to join if your doctor recently ordered a blood test for NT-proBNP because they thought you might have heart failure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must have had a blood test for NT-proBNP as part of your regular care, ordered by your primary care doctor for possible heart failure.
- You must be able to give your informed consent (understand and agree to take part).
- You cannot have been diagnosed with heart failure before or be having an acute episode of heart failure.
- You must be able to travel to the study center and complete all study visits.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial is testing a simple blood test (NT-proBNP) to find heart failure early in people who have symptoms but haven't been diagnosed yet. If the test levels are high, it could help doctors start treatment sooner.
This study looks for markers in the blood that can predict whether the heart's pumping function improves in people with chronic heart failure. It may help doctors understand which treatments work best for each person.
This trial tests if using a combination of biomarkers can help personalize treatment for people with a specific type of heart failure called HFpEF (or heart failure with preserved ejection fraction). It aims to find better treatments based on your individual test results.
This trial tests whether simple screening using a blood test (natriuretic peptides) plus an ultrasound of the heart (echocardiogram) can find early heart failure sooner. Finding it earlier may help doctors start the right management to prevent it from getting worse.
This study looks at how the heart muscle works in people with a type of heart failure where the heart pumps normally but doesn't fill properly. It aims to understand the cause better, which could lead to new treatments.
This study combines electronic health record data and detailed heart testing to better understand different heart failure types and what treatments may work best for each. It mainly enrolls people with known heart failure, and also some people without heart failure for comparison.
