Nerve function test in advanced heart failure
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how the nervous system controls the heart in people with advanced heart failure. It may help doctors understand which patients are unlikely to recover, so they can plan the best care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have been admitted to the hospital for sudden worsening of heart failure in the last 48 hours
- You do not have a pacemaker
- Your heart rhythm is either normal (sinus rhythm) or atrial fibrillation (not another rhythm)
- You are willing to sign a consent form

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether remote monitoring of heart function can help manage heart failure. It may be an option if you have symptoms like shortness of breath or fatigue (NYHA class II or higher) and are between 18 and 90 years old.
This study tests a non-invasive device that stimulates a nerve in your neck (the vagus nerve) to see if it can help people with chronic heart failure. The treatment is given through the skin, no surgery needed.
This trial tests a nerve block procedure to improve heart function in people with heart failure and reduced pumping ability. It aims to see if blocking certain nerves can help you feel better and be more active.
This study monitors heart failure patients after a hospital stay or urgent clinic visit to better understand the signs of worsening heart failure. It may help researchers find ways to predict and prevent future exacerbations.
This trial uses a Holter monitor to track heart rate changes and autonomic nerve function in people with diabetes, to see if it can predict diabetic autonomic neuropathy. It may help identify early problems and guide therapy.
This trial tests a device that treats and monitors heart failure. It may help people with chronic heart failure and reduced heart function who still have symptoms despite standard treatments.
