Copenhagen heart failure with preserved pumping study
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study is for people in the Capital Region of Denmark who are at least 50 years old and have certain health conditions that put them at risk for a type of heart failure where the heart pumps normally but doesn't relax properly. The study aims to find and help people before heart failure develops.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You live in the Capital Region of Denmark (Greater Copenhagen area).
- You are 50 years old or older, but under 90.
- You have at least two risk factors for heart failure with preserved pumping (like high blood pressure, diabetes, kidney disease, atrial fibrillation, being overweight, sleep apnea, previous heart surgery, heart disease, or taking a water pill called furosemide). If you are 60 or older, you only need one risk factor.
- You do not already have heart failure.
- You do not have dementia, live in a nursing home, have amyloidosis, or are on dialysis.
- You have not had cancer (except skin cancer) in the last 5 years, and you have not had an organ transplant.
- You do not have certain serious lung conditions like COPD, lung fibrosis, or need home oxygen.

This study looks for people who may have a type of heart failure where the heart pumps normally but still doesn't work well. It aims to better understand who gets this condition and how to spot it earlier.
This trial studies people who have heart failure symptoms but whose heart pumping strength is largely preserved. It aims to better understand this specific type of heart failure and how best to treat or evaluate it.
This study looks at whether fat around the heart affects a type of heart failure where the heart pumps well but is stiff (HFpEF). You may be able to join if you have this condition, are 18 or older, and can understand English.
This study helps doctors better understand a type of heart failure where the heart pumps normally but has trouble relaxing and filling with blood. Researchers will use ultrasound, blood tests, and clinical information to identify different subtypes and improve treatment.
This study looks at different types of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (a form of heart failure where the heart pumps normally but doesn't fill properly). Researchers will use past medical records and possibly a special exercise test to better understand these types and how to treat them.
This study looks at the different features and patterns of people with heart failure where the heart’s pumping strength is preserved. It may help doctors better understand your type of heart failure and tailor care.
