Nerve Stimulation Therapy for Heart Failure With Strong Pumping
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a special pacemaker that uses nerve stimulation to help people with heart failure where the heart pumps normally but doesn't relax well. You would receive this device during a standard pacemaker procedure, and researchers would track how it affects your symptoms and quality of life.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older and need a dual-chamber pacemaker (a device that helps regulate heartbeat) or need to replace an existing one
- You have been diagnosed with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF)—meaning your heart pumps at normal strength but doesn't fill or relax properly
- You have a history of high blood pressure
- Your heart failure symptoms are mild to moderate (NYHA class II or III: you feel short of breath with activity or have some limitations)
- You are taking stable heart failure medications as prescribed by your doctor
- You can sign a consent form showing you understand the study and agree to participate

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests a new pacing approach for people with a specific type of heart failure (HFpEF) to see if it can improve symptoms and quality of life. It involves a pacemaker-like device that adjusts heart rate based on your needs.
This trial tests whether placing stents in coronary arteries helps patients with heart failure who still have a strong-pumping heart. The study aims to see if improving blood flow to the heart reduces symptoms and improves quality of life.
This trial studies people who have heart failure symptoms but whose heart pumping strength is largely preserved. It aims to better understand this specific type of heart failure and how best to treat or evaluate it.
This trial tests an investigational drug for people with a type of heart failure where the heart pumps normally but is stiff. The goal is to see if the drug can improve symptoms and quality of life.
This trial tests a special pacemaker setting to help your heart beat faster during exercise. It may improve your ability to be active if you have heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and a low resting heart rate.
This trial studies a heart pacing approach in people with heart failure symptoms despite preserved heart pumping. It aims to see whether changing heart timing can improve how you feel and how your heart works during exercise.
