Oral nitrate is a medicine used to improve blood flow for certain heart conditions. Participants will provide blood, stool, saliva, and urine samples and have their vitals checked at several points in the study. This research will help reveal how oral nitrate affects oral and gut bacteria. To participate in this study, you must be at least 18 years old and either be healthy or have pulmonary hypertension and heart failure that was confirmed by right-heart catheterization in the past 6 months.
This study is located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. This study will test whether hormone therapy with liothyronine is safe and effective for treating people who have heart failure with reduced ejection fraction and low triiothyronine T3 syndrome. Low T3 syndrome is a type of thyroid hormone that helps control many functions of your body.
To participate in this study, you must be at least 18 years old and diagnosed with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. This study is located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This study aims to better understand why heart failure can make it hard to exercise and perform daily activities.
This complication is called exercise intolerance. Participants in the study will complete physical activities and then undergo magnetic resonance imaging MRI to look for changes in the chemicals the body uses for energy. To participate in this study, you must be at least 21 years old, diagnosed with heart failure, and be medically stable. This study is located in Baltimore, Maryland.
View more information about Exercise Intolerance in Heart Failure. This study aims to test whether a medicine called sodium nitrite can help reduce exercise intolerance in people who have heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. Exercise intolerance occurs when a person is unable to exercise at a normal level or length of time.
You will be randomized to receive either sodium nitrate or a placebo while taking part in cardiac rehabilitation for exercise training. To participate in this study, you must be at least 40 years old, diagnosed with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, and have shortness of breath. This study is located in Rochester, Minnesota.
This study is testing whether electronic educational resources, in addition to in-person training , help home aids be more knowledgeable and confident in caring for adults who have serious heart failure. To participate in this study, you must be between 18 and 75 years old, be employed at Visiting Nurse Service of New York's Partners in Care agency, and care for an adult who has heart failure.
This study is located in New York, New York. This study will test whether a type of pacemaker called a cardiac resynchronization device can help the heart pump more blood in people who have mild heart failure HF and left bundle branch block. In the study, participants will have a cardiac resynchronization device implanted. To participate in this study, you must be at least 18 years old and have mild heart failure and a left bundle branch block.

This study assesses an online program for people 65 and older who have some combination of diabetes, high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol, COPD, obesity, congestive heart failure, chronic kidney disease, arrhythmia, pulmonary heart or vascular disease, chronic pain, and arthritis.
Follow-up surveys will help researchers evaluate the effectiveness of the care and support offered through the online program and determine if it decreases the use of health care services and improves health measures. To participate in this study, you must be at least 65 years old and be receiving treatment for at least three chronic conditions at a University of Wisconsin health clinic.
This study is located in Madison, Wisconsin. This study is looking at the effect of an oral medicine called a nitrate on the ability to exercise in people who have pulmonary hypertension and normal pump function of their heart, also known as pulmonary hypertension and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction PH-HFpEF. To participate in this study, you must be at least 18 years old and have PH-HFpEF that was confirmed by right heart catheterization. This study is testing whether a medicine called spironolactone can help treat heart failure with preserved ejection fraction when paired with the standard treatment.
Spironolactone helps to remove excess water and sodium from the body. To participate in this study, you must be between 50 and 99 years old and diagnosed with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction.
This study has 81 locations in the United States and Sweden. This study aims to see whether stepped care for depression helps people who have heart failure manage their care follow heart-healthy lifestyle recommendations and take their prescribed medicines.
Participants will either receive usual care for depression or take part in cognitive behavioral therapy, where they work with a mental health counselor to learn ways to manage symptoms and cope with challenging situations.
Certain participants may then be referred for antidepressant medicines. All participants will then receive heart failure education. To participate in this study, you must be at least 25 years old and diagnosed with heart failure and major depressive disorder.
This study is located in Saint Louis, Missouri. This study is comparing the effectiveness of two medicines, torsemide and furosemide, in treating serious heart failure in patients who are hospitalized.
Torsemide and furosemide are medicines used to treat heart failure by removing excess water in the body. To participate in this study, you must be at least 18 years old and hospitalized because of serious heart failure. This study has 56 locations across the United States. More Information.

These conditions force the heart to work harder to overcome heart muscle weakness or damage. Heart, blood vessel, and lung conditions can make the heart work harder than it should. Conditions linked to heart failure include:. Metabolic conditions can cause changes that increase pressure on the heart such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and elevated heart rate. Conditions associated with increased risk of heart failure include:.

Supporting Our Community Our tremendous staff gives back to our community by coordinating free health screenings, educational programs, and food drives. What Our Patients are Saying A leading indicator of our success is the feedback we get from our patients. Home Health Library. Other risk factors for heart failure include: Having certain health conditions can put you at an increased risk for heart failure. Conditions linked to heart failure include: Coronary artery disease: CAD Cholesterol and fat can build up in the arteries that supply the heart with blood.
This buildup narrows the blood vessels, causing reduced blood flow to the heart muscle. High blood pressure: Narrowing and hardening of the arteries reduces systemic blood flow and increases blood pressure.
This will help give you the highest possible quality of life. More than 6 million Americans are living with heart failure, and over , new cases are diagnosed each year. You can manage this condition. Learn more about the risks and costs associated with HF.
