Diet and exercise for heart failure with weak heart pumping
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether combining a healthy eating plan (DASH diet) with supervised exercise can help people with heart failure where the heart doesn't pump strongly enough. The goal is to see if these lifestyle changes improve heart function and symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age 30 or older
- Diagnosed with chronic heart failure (long-term condition) at mild-to-moderate severity
- Heart's pumping strength (ejection fraction) is less than 40%
- Kidney function measured by glomerular filtration rate is 30 or higher
- No severe anemia, uncontrolled thyroid problems, or severe liver disease
- Able to follow a modified DASH diet and participate in structured exercise without major physical limitations

This study tests a new exercise program for people over 65 with heart failure where the heart pumps less efficiently. The goal is to see if tailored exercise is safe and helpful for breathing, energy, and daily function.
This trial tests whether a structured exercise program can help people with heart failure. It focuses on people who are currently not very active, aiming to improve symptoms and heart/fitness measures safely.
This study compares two types of exercise programs (neuromuscular vs. resistance training) to see which one better improves daily functioning in people with heart failure. If you join, you'll do a supervised exercise routine that may help you feel stronger and more capable in your everyday activities.
This study looks at how metabolic changes, diet, and lifestyle patterns affect heart failure. It may help find ways to improve symptoms and health by targeting diet and daily habits.
This trial tests whether a structured exercise training program can improve symptoms and quality of life in people with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), a condition where the heart pumps normally but is too stiff to fill properly. Participants will receive exercise training alongside their usual heart failure medications.
This study looks at exercise intolerance in heart failure, using heart and lung tests to understand how symptoms affect activity. It may help researchers better identify what limits exercise and how heart failure impacts quality of life.
