Muscle fatigue study for people with heart failure
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how muscles get tired in people with heart failure. It aims to understand muscle fatigue better and may help improve treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have heart failure with an ejection fraction less than 40% for at least 3 months
- You are 45 years or older
- You can walk without using a cane or walker and can do daily activities on your own
- You have not had a heart attack, stent, or bypass surgery in the last 3 months
- You do not have a pacemaker or other implanted heart device
- You are not currently smoking

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether taking a nitrate supplement (from foods like beets) while doing a guided exercise program helps older adults get more health benefits from exercise. Researchers want to see if nitrates improve heart and muscle function.
This Phase 2 study tests whether taking inorganic nitrate can improve exercise ability and heart-function symptoms in people with heart failure with reduced pumping. It also checks whether the treatment is safe when combined with an exercise program.
This study tests whether breathing training and a natural nitrate supplement (from beets) can improve how well you exercise in conditions that simulate high altitude. You'll do cycling workouts while we measure your performance.
This study tests if a natural substance (nitrate) from beets can help prevent muscle loss in young men when a leg is immobilized. You would stay at a research center for about 10 days with one leg in a cast to simulate a temporary injury.
This trial tests whether taking a simple nitrate supplement (similar to the nitrates in beets) can improve blood flow in the tiny vessels of the heart for women who have chest pain but no blockages in their major arteries. It may help if your heart's small vessels aren't working as well as they should.
This study looks at exercise intolerance in heart failure, using heart and lung tests to understand how symptoms affect activity. It may help researchers better identify what limits exercise and how heart failure impacts quality of life.
