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 training and resistance training—to see which helps people with weakened heart function improve their ability to perform daily activities. Both programs are designed to be safe and manageable for people living with heart failure.
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 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.
This trial tests whether high-intensity interval training can improve heart function and fitness in people with a type of heart failure where the heart pumps normally but doesn't fill properly. You will do supervised exercise sessions to see if it helps you feel better and be more active.
