Arterial stiffness and blood vessel function in heart failure
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how stiff arteries are and how well blood vessels work in people with heart failure. It aims to understand these changes better to improve future care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have been diagnosed with heart failure with preserved or reduced ejection fraction.
- Your heart failure is stable, meaning your symptoms are under control.
- You are able to take part in study activities and give your consent.
- You do not have severe symptoms, other serious illnesses, or a recent heart attack (within 60 days).
- You are not pregnant, have severe kidney problems, or a life expectancy less than 12 months.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at the health outcomes of people with common heart conditions like coronary artery disease, high blood pressure, heart failure, or cardiomyopathy. It may help researchers understand how these conditions progress and how to better manage them.
This trial uses ultrasound to check how well the heart pumps in people with blocked leg arteries. It aims to find early signs of heart strain that standard tests might miss.
This study tests a new handheld device that uses gentle pulses to measure stiffness of your arteries, which can help predict heart disease risk. It is a quick, non-invasive test for people coming in for regular check-ups.
This study looks at how heart mechanics, blood markers, and frailty relate to symptoms and heart measurements in people with aortic stenosis (a stiff, narrowed heart valve). It may help doctors better understand who is at higher risk and how disease changes over time.
This study checks if tiny blood vessel problems in the heart affect how well the heart muscle recovers after being weak. It uses special imaging during a routine heart catheterization to look at these small vessels.
This study looks at whether stiffer arteries can help predict a type of heart failure where the heart doesn't relax properly (HFpEF). It's for people who have risk factors like high blood pressure, diabetes, or being older, and who may have early signs of heart trouble.
