Heart failure blood test trial
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a new blood test (NTproBNP) to help diagnose heart failure. It is looking for existing blood samples from people with current or past heart failure symptoms or diagnosis.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had symptoms of heart failure or been diagnosed with heart failure, now or in the past.
- Your blood sample has a unique ID, your age, gender, date collected, and your diagnosis are known.
- The sample must be at least 2 mL of whole blood.
- Your sample was collected with ethics committee approval or a waiver of consent.
- Your sample was not already used in this trial, is not duplicated, and is good quality (no clots, visible blood breakdown, or contamination).

This study is measuring a heart-related substance called NTproBNP in healthy people to set a normal reference range for a test kit. Participants must be generally healthy with no major heart, kidney, or metabolic conditions.
This trial is testing a simple blood test (NT-proBNP) to find heart failure early in people who have symptoms but haven't been diagnosed yet. If the test levels are high, it could help doctors start treatment sooner.
This study looks at certain proteins in your blood to help doctors better understand and diagnose a type of heart failure called HFpEF. You might be able to join if your doctor recently ordered a blood test for NT-proBNP because they thought you might have heart failure.
This trial tests whether simple screening using a blood test (natriuretic peptides) plus an ultrasound of the heart (echocardiogram) can find early heart failure sooner. Finding it earlier may help doctors start the right management to prevent it from getting worse.
This trial tests whether checking a blood marker called NT-proBNP at your bedside while in the hospital helps doctors better manage acute heart failure. It could lead to more personalized treatment and a clearer picture of your recovery.
This study is a registry that collects information about people who come to care with sudden (acute) worsening heart failure symptoms. If your test shows a higher BNP level, your doctors may use your details to better understand and track acute heart failure care.
