Heart function study in leg artery disease patients
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial uses ultrasound to check how well the heart pumps in people with blocked leg arteries. It aims to find early signs of heart strain that standard tests might miss.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have leg pain or wounds from narrowed leg arteries (confirmed by a doctor).
- Your age is between 35 and 85 years.
- You do not have known heart failure, severe heart valve problems, or a recent heart attack/stroke.
- You do not have a pacemaker or other implanted heart device.
- You do not have severe lung disease, untreated high blood pressure, or advanced kidney disease.

This study looks at how stiff your arteries are and how well your blood vessels work in people with heart failure. It might help doctors understand heart failure better and find new ways to treat it.
This post-market study follows people with significant below-the-knee artery blockages to see how a treatment performs over time. It may help patients by confirming the safety and ongoing effectiveness of the device used for these leg artery problems.
This study looks at treatment options for adults with significantly reduced heart pumping strength and extensive coronary artery disease. It may help people who are at higher risk due to widespread blocked heart arteries, but eligibility depends on recent heart events and bleeding risk.
This trial tests whether doing resistance exercise with a blood pressure cuff to partially restrict blood flow can improve heart function in people with heart failure and a reduced ejection fraction. It may help you get stronger and feel better during cardiac rehab.
This trial uses a special CT scan (coronary CTA with HeartFlow analysis) to look for hidden blockages in the heart arteries of people who recently had a leg artery procedure. It may help detect heart problems early so they can be treated.
This study tests a new magnetic sensor that measures blood flow in your arteries, comparing it to the standard method. It takes place in the heart-lung unit at Montpellier University Hospital, and aims to see if the sensor is accurate for people with or without leg artery disease.
