Heart Failure Risk Test Study (HF-QRS and Fibrosis Markers)
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at whether a special EKG test (HF-QRS) and a blood test for fibrosis can help doctors better predict risks in people with chronic heart failure. If you join, you will help see if these tests work as well as or better than standard tests alone.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 85 years old
- You must be diagnosed with chronic heart failure by a doctor using standard guidelines
- You must have current symptoms like shortness of breath or swelling, and signs that your doctor can see on exam
- A blood test must show a high NT-proBNP level
- An ultrasound of your heart must show an abnormality of structure or function
- You cannot have severe kidney disease requiring dialysis, severe lung disease, active cancer, or other serious illnesses that might explain your symptoms

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 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 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.
This study combines electronic health record data and detailed heart testing to better understand different heart failure types and what treatments may work best for each. It mainly enrolls people with known heart failure, and also some people without heart failure for comparison.
This study is testing better ways to understand and manage heart failure where the heart pumps normally but still doesn't work as well as it should. It looks at people with symptoms like shortness of breath and fatigue, using blood tests and heart imaging to check eligibility.
This trial tests a multidisciplinary care approach aimed at helping people with high risk for heart failure get diagnosed earlier. It may help you catch heart failure sooner if it starts, so treatment can begin earlier.
