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.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 after a heart attack procedure. It aims to see if certain gut bacteria are linked to better heart healing.
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.
This trial tests whether transferring healthy gut bacteria (fecal microbiota transplant) can help people with chronic heart failure feel better and improve their heart function.
This study is testing whether combining heart health data, blood and stool samples can help tell different types of heart failure apart and predict how they progress. It involves people with chronic heart failure and healthy volunteers to compare.
