Biomarker test for early heart failure worsening
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at using a blood test to find early signs that heart failure may be getting worse. It aims to help doctors provide better care after a hospital stay.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 85 years old.
- You have chronic heart failure (stage C or D).
- Your heart's pumping function has been low (LVEF 40% or less) at some point in the past.
- You were recently hospitalized for heart failure, but have been stable for at least 3 months.
- You are not on dialysis and do not have a terminal illness.

This study looks at blood “markers” (substances in the blood) to help explain how some people move from early heart strain to full heart failure. You may be enrolled if you have stable or worsening heart failure symptoms, or you may qualify as a healthy control for comparison.
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.
This study looks for markers in the blood that can predict whether the heart's pumping function improves in people with chronic heart failure. It may help doctors understand which treatments work best for each person.
This study looks at whether certain new blood tests (biomarkers) can help doctors learn more about chronic heart failure. You might be asked for blood samples and health information, and the results could improve how heart failure is understood in the future.
This study checks whether a simple blood test (and a short questionnaire) can help find early signs of heart failure in people who are seeing a heart doctor for other reasons. It aims to make it easier to catch heart failure sooner.
This study monitors heart failure patients after a hospital stay or urgent clinic visit to better understand the signs of worsening heart failure. It may help researchers find ways to predict and prevent future exacerbations.
