Heart failure screening in primary care for older adults
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial is testing a simple screening tool to find early signs of heart failure in people aged 50 or older, especially those with risk factors like diabetes or high blood pressure. If you're at risk, this could help catch heart problems sooner.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 50 years or older
- You have symptoms that might point to heart failure, or you have at least two heart-related risk factors (like diabetes, high blood pressure, or a history of heart attack)
- You can give permission to join the study

This trial tests whether simple screening using a blood test (natriuretic peptides) plus an ultrasound of the heart (echocardiogram) can find early heart failure sooner. Finding it earlier may help doctors start the right management to prevent it from getting worse.
This study is testing a way to catch heart failure earlier by using a simple blood test (NT-proBNP) in primary care. If you have symptoms that might be heart failure, this test could help your doctor diagnose it sooner so you can get the right treatment.
This trial tests a multidisciplinary care approach aimed at helping people with high risk for heart failure get diagnosed earlier. It may help you catch heart failure sooner if it starts, so treatment can begin earlier.
This study is looking for people who may have undiagnosed heart failure. It tests a self-screening method at home to find heart problems earlier.
This study tests a new way to find people who might develop heart failure early, using electronic health records. If you are at risk, screening could help start care sooner and prevent serious problems.
This study uses simple heart tests and blood markers to sort people with chronic heart failure into different risk levels, which may help guide treatment. You may join if you have heart failure symptoms and certain test findings.
