Finding early heart failure in at-risk adults across Germany
Part of Heart & circulation, Injuries & trauma, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study uses heart MRI scans to find unrecognized heart failure in people who have risk factors like diabetes, kidney disease, high blood pressure, or obesity but haven't been diagnosed with heart failure yet. If you join, you will help researchers learn how common hidden heart failure is and take an important step for your own heart health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 40 and 69 years old.
- You have at least one heart risk factor: diabetes, kidney disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, obesity, or being a smoker (current or past).
- You have never been told you have heart failure or a weak heart pump.
- You are able to have an MRI scan (no pacemaker, defibrillator, or metal in eyes; not claustrophobic).
- You are willing to provide written consent to participate.

This trial uses a special heart MRI to create pressure-volume loops in people with heart failure who have a normal pumping strength (ejection fraction of 50% or higher). It aims to better understand heart function and could help guide future treatments. You may qualify if you have heart failure symptoms and specific heart structure or function changes.
This study looks at people with a type of heart failure where the heart pumps normally but still doesn't fill properly. Researchers are using ultrasound pictures of the heart (echocardiograms) and blood tests to better understand this condition and find better ways to treat it.
This trial studies people who have heart-related symptoms but do not have clear blocked heart arteries, using special heart imaging. It may help researchers better understand early forms of heart weakness (with preserved pumping function) and improve how these conditions are diagnosed.
This study is for people in the Capital Region of Denmark who are at least 50 years old and have certain health conditions that put them at risk for a type of heart failure where the heart pumps normally but doesn't relax properly. The study aims to find and help people before heart failure develops.
This study looks at whether fat around the heart affects a type of heart failure where the heart pumps well but is stiff (HFpEF). You may be able to join if you have this condition, are 18 or older, and can understand English.
This study looks for people who may have heart failure with preserved pumping function, where the heart is stiff and doesn't fill properly. It aims to better understand and identify this condition to improve care.
