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 smartphone-based program (HeartMed-HF) to see if it can help people with heart failure after a recent heart attack exercise more and feel better. If you join, you'll use a digital tool to guide your recovery.
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 study tests if adding a special exercise program (called ExCR) to usual care is safe and helps people recover faster while in the hospital for worsening heart failure. It looks at how this exercise affects symptoms, strength, and overall recovery.
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.
