Staging heart failure with preserved pumping function
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at a type of heart failure where the heart pumps normally but is too stiff to fill properly. It aims to better understand and classify this condition, which may help guide future treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 40 years or older
- You have symptoms of heart failure, such as shortness of breath or fatigue, that limit your daily activities
- Your heart's pumping function is normal (over 50%)
- You have had a high NT-proBNP blood test result (a marker of heart strain) or have been hospitalized for heart failure in the past
- You have evidence of heart structure or function problems, like an enlarged heart chamber or thickened heart muscle
- You are willing to give informed consent

This study looks at how the heart muscle works in people with a type of heart failure where the heart pumps normally but doesn't fill properly. It aims to understand the cause better, which could lead to new treatments.
This study is for people with a type of heart failure called HFpEF, where the heart pumps normally but doesn't relax well. It aims to better understand heart failure through advanced testing, and it includes people who are newly diagnosed or have had a recent hospitalization.
This Phase 2 study tests how matching heart “filling pressure” and heart muscle “energy use” may improve understanding or treatment of HFpEF, a type of heart failure with preserved pumping strength. You may be asked to have heart scans/tests and follow a study plan if your symptoms and test results fit.
This trial tests whether a structured exercise training program can improve symptoms and quality of life in people with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), a condition where the heart pumps normally but is too stiff to fill properly. Participants will receive exercise training alongside their usual heart failure medications.
This study tests an investigational medicine called EDG-15400 for people with a type of heart failure where the heart muscle is stiff and doesn't relax properly, even though the pumping function is normal. The goal is to see if the medicine improves symptoms and daily functioning.
This study looks at people with heart failure who still have a normal pumping ability (HFpEF). Researchers want to find what factors predict a worse outcome, so they can better understand and treat this condition.
