Digoxin after a recent heart failure hospitalization
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether digoxin, a heart medication, can help people who were recently hospitalized for heart failure with a weak heart pump. It aims to see if it improves symptoms and daily activity.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a recent hospital or ER visit for heart failure with a weak heart pump (ejection fraction 40% or less)
- Your resting heart rate is at least 60 beats per minute (without a pacemaker)
- You can walk 450 meters or less in 6 minutes, or less than 80% of what is normal for your age and height
- Your NT-proBNP level is high (a blood test that measures heart stress) or you have signs of fluid buildup on an echocardiogram
- You are not currently taking digoxin
- You do not have severe kidney disease, a very high body mass index, or other serious health conditions that might affect the trial

This trial tests a new, faster way to increase heart failure medications during a hospital stay, aiming to get patients on the right doses sooner. It is for people with weak heart pumping (ejection fraction 40% or less) who are currently in the hospital for heart failure and are on low doses of standard medications.
This trial tests a digital health tool to help manage heart failure medications after you leave the hospital. If you were recently hospitalized for heart failure and have a smartphone or tablet, you may be able to join.
This trial tests a digital program (called HeartMed-HF) that uses a smartphone to guide your exercise and recovery after a recent heart attack, to help improve your exercise capacity. If you have heart failure after a heart attack, this program might help you feel stronger and do more in your daily life.
This trial tests whether digoxin, a heart medication, can reduce harmful aging-related changes in heart failure patients who also have type 2 diabetes. It aims to improve heart function and potentially slow disease progression.
This trial studies whether a physical rehabilitation program helps older adults recover and function better after a recent hospital stay for heart failure when the heart’s pumping strength is preserved. It may help you regain walking ability and daily independence after your episode.
This trial tests a program to manage heart failure at home after you leave the hospital. It aims to safely adjust your medications to optimal doses while you recover at home.
