Strength testing reliability for heart patients
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study checks if a simple strength test is reliable for people with heart conditions or risk factors. It aims to help doctors safely recommend exercise.

This study uses simple heart tests and blood markers to sort people with chronic heart failure into different risk levels, which may help guide treatment. You may join if you have heart failure symptoms and certain test findings.
This study looks at how stiff your arteries are and how well your blood vessels work in people with heart failure. It might help doctors understand heart failure better and find new ways to treat it.
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.
This study looks for blood and other markers that can explain how people with heart failure respond to exercise training. It may help researchers better tailor exercise or treatment plans for heart failure in the future.
This study looks at how heart muscle strength changes in people with heart failure and/or diabetes. Researchers will use a pacemaker to safely measure tiny changes in heart function.
This study tests whether resistance training (strength exercises) can help people waiting for a heart transplant. It is for patients who have been on the transplant list for less than a month and are stable enough to exercise safely.
