Heart muscle function testing in right heart failure
Part of Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial studies how the right side of the heart works in people with heart failure. It uses special monitoring to understand muscle function and may help doctors find better ways to treat right heart failure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 90 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with heart failure and your left ventricle pumps at 40-50% or less of normal.
- You can safely stop taking blood thinners (like warfarin or Xarelto) for 48 hours before the procedure.
- You are not currently in the hospital or had a heart failure crisis in the last 2 weeks.
- You are able to lie flat on your back without discomfort.

This study tests a new MRI technique to measure blood flow in the heart without invasive procedures. It may help doctors better understand and manage congenital heart conditions.
This study uses advanced 3D ultrasound to measure the connection between the right atrium and right ventricle. It aims to establish normal ranges and check how this measurement changes in conditions like pulmonary hypertension, heart failure, and valve problems. Participation may help improve diagnosis and care for these heart conditions.
This study looks at exercise intolerance in heart failure, using heart and lung tests to understand how symptoms affect activity. It may help researchers better identify what limits exercise and how heart failure impacts quality of life.
This study looks at people having a right heart catheterization to learn more about heart function. It is observational, meaning no treatments are given—it just gathers information that might help improve care.
This trial looks at how tiny blood vessels in the heart affect improvement in heart pumping strength for people with heart failure. It tests whether a special procedure during heart catheterization can predict recovery.
This study looks at whether doing very detailed heart testing helps understand and guide care for people with heart failure with preserved pumping strength. You may be eligible if you’re an adult with specific symptom levels, recent heart-failure-related visits, and matching scan and blood test results.
