Heart pump blood flow study
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how blood flows inside your heart while you have a HeartMate 3 heart pump. It aims to understand your heart’s pumping function and may help doctors improve care for people with heart pumps.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are treated at Linköping University Hospital (in southeastern Sweden).
- You have a HeartMate 3 heart pump that was placed more than 6 months ago.
- You are 18 years or older.
- Your kidney function is okay (a lab test called eGFR is 45 or higher).
- You do not have an allergy to iodine contrast dye.
- You are not pregnant and do not have untreated overactive thyroid, suspected thyroid cancer, or myasthenia gravis.

This trial tests if a combination of a tiny lung-artery pressure sensor (CardioMEMS) and a mechanical heart pump (HeartMate 3) is safe and effective for people with advanced heart failure. If you qualify, you'll either get the heart pump plus standard medical therapy, or continue with standard therapy alone and have your pressure monitored remotely.
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 looks at different types of heart failure to understand them better. You may join if you have active heart failure (with symptoms like shortness of breath or swelling) and are willing to participate in research activities.
This study looks at how a small monitor inside the blood vessel to the lungs helps manage heart failure. It aims to improve care for people with advanced heart failure.
This study looks at how “personalized” (precision) treatment planning for heart failure may work, using results from heart imaging (echocardiogram) or a blood test called B-type natriuretic peptide. You may join if you have heart failure and can follow frequent study check-ins.
This study looks at how well blood moves through the body and how strongly the left side of the heart pumps in adults. It compares people who have heart failure to people who do not, to better understand differences and possible causes.
