Support for LVAD patients to improve quality of life
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a program that provides extra support and care planning for people who have been living with a heart pump (LVAD) for at least a year. The goal is to help you feel better and manage your health.

This trial is studying a non-surgical (conservative) treatment approach for people being considered for a left ventricular assist device (LVAD). It may help some patients who are too sick or unable to tolerate standard heart failure medicines, but it will only match people with specific heart function and health-test results.
This trial tests a new left ventricular assist device (LVAD) for people with advanced heart failure who are not responding to standard treatments and are eligible for a heart transplant. The pump helps the heart circulate blood.
This trial tests whether patients with recently implanted heart pumps (LVADs) can safely exercise at home via video calls instead of traveling to a hospital gym. The goal is to help improve fitness and heart function without requiring in-person visits.
This trial looks at how well people with advanced heart failure do over the long term after getting a left-ventricular assist device (LVAD). Researchers will check blood and heart tissue samples to learn more about recovery and outcomes.
This study tests a compassion-based support program for people with a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) and their family caregivers. It aims to improve emotional well-being and reduce distress.
This trial compares an LVAD device (a pump placed in the chest) plus medicines versus medicines alone for people with advanced, end-stage heart failure. It aims to see which approach works better to help patients live and stay out of the hospital.
