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 trial tests a web-based prevention program for people recently hospitalized with heart failure (with low pumping ability). The goal is to help you stay healthier and avoid another hospital stay.
This study tests whether combining a diabetes medication (SGLT-2 inhibitor) with probiotics can improve heart failure symptoms in older adults. It aims to see if this combination helps the heart work better and reduces symptoms.
This trial tests a medicine (a gliflozin) given in the emergency department to older patients with worsening heart failure. It aims to see if early treatment can help them feel better and avoid complications.
This study tests different treatments for heart failure, a condition where the heart doesn't pump blood as well as it should. It aims to find better ways to manage symptoms and improve quality of life for people who are hospitalized or living with heart failure at home.
