Nurse-led remote preconditioning for heart failure
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests if a simple, nurse-guided technique called remote ischemic preconditioning can help people with a type of heart failure where the heart pumps normally but doesn't fill well (heart failure with preserved ejection fraction). The goal is to see if it improves how well you can exercise, your blood vessel health, and artery flexibility.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).
- You are 40 years or older.
- You do less than 60 minutes of planned exercise per week (like brisk walking or gym classes).
- Your heart condition has been stable for at least 6 weeks, and you are on the right medicines for that time.

This trial tests if a simple, non-invasive blood pressure cuff procedure can improve blood vessel health in people with possible heart failure. It is an early, single-session study to see how the body responds.
This study tests whether a remote, arm-based treatment done around the time of a heart attack can improve outcomes in people with STEMI (a serious heart-attack type). Some participants receive the real treatment and some receive a sham version, while others may be followed observationally depending on how long ago symptoms started.
This trial tests whether high-intensity interval training can improve heart function and fitness in people with a type of heart failure where the heart pumps normally but doesn't fill properly. You will do supervised exercise sessions to see if it helps you feel better and be more active.
This study tests whether a simple, non-invasive procedure on your arm can change certain substances in your blood. It may help researchers understand how to protect the body from injury.
This trial tests whether a simple “arm cuff” treatment done before a heart artery procedure can help protect the kidneys and the heart in people with congestive heart failure. If it works, it may lower the chance of kidney injury around the time of the scan/stent procedure.
This study tests whether a simple, non-invasive treatment called remote ischemic preconditioning (using brief periods of blood pressure cuff inflation on the arm) can help prevent early neurological worsening in people who have had a small, specific type of stroke. It may offer a safe way to protect your brain while you recover.
