Seasonal activity in heart failure with a heart device
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial studies how physical activity changes with the seasons in people with heart failure who have a pacemaker or defibrillator. It aims to help doctors understand how to better support your activity levels throughout the year.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older
- You have heart failure (from blocked arteries or other causes)
- You have a pacemaker, defibrillator, or similar heart device
- Your heart failure symptoms are mild to moderate (Class I, II, or III)
- You live within 50 miles of a weather station
- You can walk without help (no wheelchair, serious joint problems, or recent major surgery)

This study compares different types of arm exercises for people with heart failure who have a pacemaker or defibrillator implanted. The goal is to see which exercise approach best improves how well your arms function and help you stay active.
This study looks at how well people with heart failure and certain heart devices (ICD or CRT) can use their arms and hands. It aims to understand if these devices affect upper body function.
This study tests a home-based physical activity program for people with heart failure. The program is designed to be safe and easy to follow, using a smartphone app to guide you, and may help you feel stronger and more active.
This study looks at how physical activity affects heart outcomes in people with chronic heart failure. If you have a pedometer or activity tracker, you may be able to join.
This study looks at whether implantable defibrillators can reduce dangerous heart rhythms in people with non-ischemic cardiomyopathy (heart weakness not caused by blocked heart arteries), a heart scar, and very low pumping strength despite best treatment. It compares different approaches to choosing which patients should receive these devices.
This study tests a mobile health program to help people with heart failure become more physically active at home. The program may improve your symptoms and quality of life.
