Heart fat and preserved ejection fraction heart failure trial
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have been diagnosed with a specific type of heart failure (HFpEF) by a heart doctor, or you have heart failure signs with a certain test score of 5 or more.
- You can understand written English.
- You do not have severe heart valve disease, certain heart muscle diseases, or lung artery problems.
- You do not have severe kidney disease (eGFR less than 30).
- You are not pregnant.

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 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.
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 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 uses a special heart MRI to create pressure-volume loops in people with heart failure who have a normal pumping strength (ejection fraction of 50% or higher). It aims to better understand heart function and could help guide future treatments. You may qualify if you have heart failure symptoms and specific heart structure or function changes.
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.
