Midodrine for low blood pressure in heart failure
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a pill called midodrine to see if it can safely raise blood pressure in people with heart failure and low blood pressure. It may help you feel better and avoid needing IV treatments while in the hospital.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 or older
- Your heart's pumping strength (ejection fraction) must be 40% or less, measured in the last 3 months
- You must have low blood pressure (systolic 100 or less) on two checks at least 8 hours apart
- You must be in the hospital (either a regular ward or cardiac ICU) and off IV blood-pressure medications for at least 48 hours
- You cannot have severe kidney disease (eGFR 20 or below), active infection on antibiotics, or certain other conditions

This Phase 4 trial studies a treatment to help people with spinal cord injuries who get orthostatic hypotension, meaning blood pressure drops when they change position. If you fit the specific injury and health criteria, the study may offer a structured way to improve symptoms and monitor safety.
This trial tests if the oral medication midodrine can help wean patients with sepsis off IV vasopressors faster, potentially reducing ICU stays and complications.
This trial studies whether midodrine can help some ICU patients need less (or stop) a blood-pressure “drip” called vasopressors earlier. It’s meant to see if starting midodrine sooner can speed recovery and reduce how long you need these medicines.
This early (Phase 1) study tests whether midodrine and droxidopa can improve blood-flow pooling in the belly in people with nerve problems that affect blood pressure when standing. It’s looking at safety and how the body responds, which may help reduce dizziness or fainting for some participants.
This study tests whether starting a medicine called midodrine early can help control belly fluid buildup (ascites) and its problems in people with acute-on-chronic liver failure. The goal is to see if it helps you feel better and avoid serious complications.
This trial tests whether giving extra salt (sodium chloride) to people with heart failure and low blood pressure can help their kidneys handle salt better, possibly making them feel better and improving heart function. It involves monitoring blood pressure and urine for a period while adjusting salt intake.
