Exercise for non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy
Part of Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests whether combining aerobic and resistance exercise helps people with non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy. It aims to improve heart function and fitness.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 40 and 60 years old.
- Your left ventricle pumps out less than 50% of the blood it holds (called ejection fraction below 50%).
- You do not have heart valve disease, certain abnormal heart rhythms, or congenital heart disease.
- You do not have a nerve or muscle condition like stroke or Parkinson's disease.
- You do not have a long-term lung disease.
- You do not have serious memory or thinking problems.

This study compares two types of exercise programs—neuromuscular training and resistance training—to see which helps people with weakened heart function improve their ability to perform daily activities. Both programs are designed to be safe and manageable for people living with heart failure.
This study tests whether a 24-week exercise program can improve exercise tolerance in people with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (a thickened heart muscle). You may be asked to use phone-based tools and complete surveys during training.
This study looks at how small blood vessels in the heart affect outcomes in people with dilated cardiomyopathy (an enlarged, weak heart). You may qualify if you have heart failure with a weak pump and no significant blockages in your main heart arteries.
This trial tests whether combining modern heart failure medications with an implantable defibrillator (ICD) can reduce the risk of dangerous heart rhythms and improve survival in people with dilated cardiomyopathy. It focuses on those with a weak heart pump and specific scarring seen on MRI.
This study tests whether a personalized treatment approach can improve heart function in people with dilated cardiomyopathy (a condition where the heart becomes enlarged and weak). It focuses on patients who still have low heart function despite standard medications.
This trial tests whether a high-fat diet can help change how your heart uses energy, potentially improving heart function in people with non-ischemic heart failure.
