Testing for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial uses special tests to see if you have a type of heart failure where the heart pumps well but doesn't relax properly (HFpEF). It's for people who feel short of breath but haven't been diagnosed with this condition yet.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You feel short of breath (dyspnea).
- You have not already been diagnosed with a specific type of heart failure called HFpEF.

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 well two heart tests taken during exercise—direct heart pressure measurement and an ultrasound—can explain shortness of breath with activity. It may help doctors better diagnose what’s causing your symptoms.
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 trial tests whether high-intensity interval training can improve heart function and fitness in people with a type of heart failure where the heart pumps normally but doesn't fill properly. You will do supervised exercise sessions to see if it helps you feel better and be more active.
This trial studies people who have heart failure symptoms but whose heart pumping strength is largely preserved. It aims to better understand this specific type of heart failure and how best to treat or evaluate it.
