Finding new blood markers for heart disease
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 30 years or older.
- You have been diagnosed with a heart attack (myocardial infarction) or heart failure (NYHA class II–IV).

- Your kidneys are working well enough (eGFR above 25).
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and you don't have severe liver disease (Child-Pugh C).

This study looks for markers in the blood that can predict whether the heart's pumping function improves in people with chronic heart failure. It may help doctors understand which treatments work best for each person.
This study is looking at certain blood markers and heart tissue changes in people who have recently had a heart attack. The goal is to understand how the heart heals and remodels after an attack, which could help improve future treatments.
This study looks at blood markers and body fluid measurements in people hospitalized for heart failure. It aims to better understand inflammation and fluid status, which may help guide future treatments for heart failure.
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 whether certain new blood tests (biomarkers) can help doctors learn more about chronic heart failure. You might be asked for blood samples and health information, and the results could improve how heart failure is understood in the future.
This study looks for blood markers that may help explain or predict heart problems in people who have type 2 diabetes and heart failure. To join, you may also need to be having a planned heart procedure where doctors can collect study information.
