Heart failure and protein levels in the blood
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial checks if a protein called PRMT5 in the blood is linked to heart function in people with heart failure. It compares healthy volunteers and those with heart failure to see if this protein can help understand the condition better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older
- You have not been diagnosed with heart failure and your blood pressure is normal (systolic ≤120, diastolic ≤80) OR you have been diagnosed with heart failure and your heart's pumping ability is reduced (ejection fraction 50% or less)
- You do not have any other major diseases or congenital (present from birth) conditions

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study is measuring the normal levels of a heart hormone called NT-proBNP in healthy people to help doctors better understand heart failure tests. If you join, you will provide a blood sample and have some basic health checks.
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 blood “markers” (substances in the blood) to help explain how some people move from early heart strain to full heart failure. You may be enrolled if you have stable or worsening heart failure symptoms, or you may qualify as a healthy control for comparison.
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 at how “personalized” (precision) treatment planning for heart failure may work, using results from heart imaging (echocardiogram) or a blood test called B-type natriuretic peptide. You may join if you have heart failure and can follow frequent study check-ins.
This trial tests a new blood test that measures a heart-related protein (NT-proBNP) to help diagnose or monitor heart failure. It uses blood samples already collected from patients, so no new blood draws are needed.
