Delirium and heart failure study
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at the link between delirium (sudden confusion) and heart failure. It may help understand how to better care for people with heart failure who experience confusion.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have heart failure stage C, which means you have been diagnosed with heart failure and have had symptoms.
- You must not have any thinking or memory problems, like dementia.
- You must not have a major brain condition, such as a stroke or brain injury.

This trial tests whether better managing heart failure after a hospital stay can protect against thinking and memory problems. It is for people who have heart failure and have had some cognitive difficulties.
This study looks at “delirium,” a sudden confusion that can happen during critical care, in people receiving ICU treatment for stroke. It includes both adults and children in specific ICU settings and may help clinicians better prevent or manage confusion during recovery.
This trial is testing practical ways to recognize delirium, a sudden type of hospital confusion, in older patients. It may help your care team spot confusion earlier and respond sooner.
This trial tests new ways to help hospitalized older adults (and their family/care partners) stay comfortable and avoid or reduce episodes of acute confusion. It focuses on people who are likely to develop delirium during their hospital stay.
This study tests a new way to check for delirium (sudden confusion) in patients staying in the intensive care unit (ICU). It also looks at how family members can help spot these changes, so the care team can help sooner.
This study tests a new way to predict delirium (sudden confusion) after heart surgery by using brain monitoring. It may help doctors detect early warning signs so they can act faster.
