Clonal blood cells in heart failure
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at whether changes in blood cells (called clonal hematopoiesis) are linked to heart failure. By testing your blood, researchers hope to learn more about how heart failure progresses and find new ways to treat it.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have been diagnosed with heart failure (either acute, meaning you were hospitalized, or chronic, meaning you see a doctor regularly for it).
- You are not currently taking medications that suppress your immune system (like steroids, anti-inflammatory drugs, or chemotherapy).
- You have not had a heart attack or recent heart procedure in the last 3 months.
- You do not have an active infection, cancer, or a blood disorder (like leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome).
- You are willing to come back for a follow-up visit one year later.

This study looks at the biological causes of heart failure, including genes and other molecules, to better understand the disease. It may help researchers find new ways to treat heart failure in the future.
This study is looking for people who have had a heart attack or have heart failure to discover new markers in your blood that could help doctors better understand and treat heart disease. By collecting samples and health data, researchers hope to find clues that improve care for future patients.
This study looks at how genes affect heart failure treatment response. It uses blood samples to find new markers that may help predict who will benefit most from therapy.
This study looks at blood “markers” (substances in the blood) to help explain how some people move from early heart strain to full heart failure. You may be enrolled if you have stable or worsening heart failure symptoms, or you may qualify as a healthy control for comparison.
This study looks at how your genes and immune system affect heart failure. Researchers want to understand why some people have flare-ups (exacerbations) and how the body responds.
This study looks at how cells talk to each other in people who have both diabetes and heart failure. It may help doctors understand these conditions better.
