Increasing daily steps in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests if simple rewards and reminders on a smartphone can help people with a certain type of heart failure (HFpEF) become more physically active. The goal is to see if increasing daily steps improves their health and well-being.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (a type where the heart squeezes well but doesn't relax fully).
- You own a smartphone or tablet with internet access.
- You can read English.
- You walk between 1,000 and 7,500 steps per day (moderate activity level).
- You do not have conditions that make walking unsafe or a 9-month exercise program unfeasible.

This trial tests a personalized exercise program to help people with a type of heart failure called HFpEF. You may qualify if your heart still pumps well but you have trouble being active, and you are willing to use a phone app and exercise regularly.
This trial tests whether high-intensity interval training can improve heart function and fitness in people with a type of heart failure where the heart pumps normally but doesn't fill properly. You will do supervised exercise sessions to see if it helps you feel better and be more active.
This study tests a personalized system that uses a smartphone app and activity tracker to help people with heart failure stay active and monitor their daily movement. The goal is to see if this technology can improve heart health and quality of life.
This study tests a mobile health program to help people with heart failure become more physically active at home. The program may improve your symptoms and quality of life.
This study tests a home-based physical activity program for people with heart failure. The program is designed to be safe and easy to follow, using a smartphone app to guide you, and may help you feel stronger and more active.
This study tests whether playing “exergames” (motion-based video games) can help people with heart failure who are mostly inactive spend less time sitting. It checks whether the games are safe and practical and whether they can improve activity over time.
