Gut bacteria study in chronic heart failure
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at the bacteria in your gut (your 'gut microbiome') and how it relates to chronic heart failure. It may help doctors understand why some people with heart failure do better than others and could lead to better treatments in the future.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have heart failure with a reduced ejection fraction (below 50%).
- Your heart failure is not caused by blocked arteries (non-ischemic cardiomyopathy).
- Your body mass index (BMI) is between 18 and 40.
- You have not taken antibiotics, probiotics, or immune-suppressing medications in the last 4 weeks.
- You do not have advanced kidney disease, cirrhosis, or serious gut problems.

This study looks at how the bacteria in your gut (the microbiome) relates to chronic heart failure. Researchers want to see if certain probiotics (friendly bacteria) might help people with heart failure feel better.
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.
This study tests whether transplanting healthy gut bacteria can help older adults with heart failure that has a preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Researchers think the gut microbiome may play a role in heart function and hope this treatment could improve symptoms and quality of life.
This study looks at the bacteria in your gut (the microbiome) in people with chronic gut conditions. Researchers want to understand how gut bacteria differ in these conditions to help improve treatments.
This study looks at how the bacteria in your gut might affect your recovery and heart function after a heart attack treated with a stent. Stool samples will be collected to analyze your gut bacteria, and your progress will be tracked over time.
This study looks at how the bacteria in your gut affect blood flow to your muscles and your overall fitness. You will provide samples and do some exercise tests to help researchers understand this link.
