Heart-brain oxygen and thinking changes in heart failure
Part of Heart & circulation, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how well your heart and brain work together to use oxygen, and how that relates to changes in thinking and memory for people with heart failure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 69 years old
- You have been diagnosed with heart failure and are currently in the hospital or being treated as an inpatient
- You do not have severe lung disease or end-stage kidney failure
- You have not had a heart attack or stroke in the last 3 months
- You have no metal implants or other reasons that would make an MRI unsafe
- You are able to cooperate with study tests and procedures

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether special breathing exercises—done alone or while doing a mental task—can improve memory and thinking skills in people with heart failure. Researchers want to see if training your breathing muscles helps your brain work better.
This trial tests whether doing a combined mental (cognitive) and physical exercise program can improve thinking and how well blood flows to the brain in people with chronic heart failure. It may help by strengthening both brain function and physical capacity while your heart condition stays stable.
This trial studies whether a noninvasive ultrasound test of blood flow in the brain, along with memory and thinking questionnaires, can help explain thinking changes in people with stable heart failure. It may help researchers better understand why some people develop cognitive (thinking) difficulties as heart failure progresses.
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 whether combining light exercise and brain training can help men in their 50s-60s recover from acute heart failure. It aims to improve physical and mental function together.
This study looks back at records of healthy people who completed 60 sessions of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber) to see if it improved their heart fitness and thinking skills. Researchers will compare test results from before and after treatment.
