Heart health screening and referral for early stage heart failure
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether bedside ultrasound and community health workers can help find early, symptom-free heart failure in the emergency department. If you have risk factors like high blood pressure, diabetes, or obesity, you may be able to get early screening and support.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 45 years or older

- You do not have symptoms of heart failure like trouble breathing or leg swelling
- You have never been diagnosed with heart failure

This trial is testing a simple screening tool to find early signs of heart failure in people aged 50 or older, especially those with risk factors like diabetes or high blood pressure. If you're at risk, this could help catch heart problems sooner.
This study is looking for people who may have undiagnosed heart failure. It tests a self-screening method at home to find heart problems earlier.
This trial tests whether simple screening using a blood test (natriuretic peptides) plus an ultrasound of the heart (echocardiogram) can find early heart failure sooner. Finding it earlier may help doctors start the right management to prevent it from getting worse.
This study tests a method to find people at risk for heart failure before it develops. If you are 40 or older and your doctor identifies you as at risk, you may be able to join.
This study tests if a quick heart ultrasound done by your regular doctor can find early signs of heart problems. It may help people with certain risk factors or mild symptoms like shortness of breath or leg swelling.
This trial checks for early signs of heart failure in people who have multiple risk factors. It will use blood tests, a wearable device, and a handheld ultrasound to find any changes early, so treatment can start quickly.
