Predicting heart failure with stiff arteries
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at whether stiffer arteries can help predict a type of heart failure where the heart doesn't relax properly (HFpEF). It's for people who have risk factors like high blood pressure, diabetes, or being older, and who may have early signs of heart trouble.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study is for people with a type of heart failure called HFpEF, where the heart pumps normally but doesn't relax well. It aims to better understand heart failure through advanced testing, and it includes people who are newly diagnosed or have had a recent hospitalization.
This study uses a special ultrasound technique to check how stiff the heart muscle is in people with heart failure who have a normal pumping ability (HFpEF). It aims to better understand heart stiffness to help diagnose and manage this condition.
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 is testing better ways to understand and manage heart failure where the heart pumps normally but still doesn't work as well as it should. It looks at people with symptoms like shortness of breath and fatigue, using blood tests and heart imaging to check eligibility.
This study looks at how stiff arteries are and how well blood vessels work in people with heart failure. It aims to understand these changes better to improve future care.
This study looks at how bacteria in your gut and certain substances in your blood relate to a type of heart failure called HFpEF (where the heart is stiff and doesn't relax well). It may help doctors understand the condition better and find new ways to treat it.
