TRITON-CM: A Phase 3 Global, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Nucresiran in Patients with Transthyretin-Mediated Amyloidosis with Cardiomyopathy (ATTR amyloidosis with cardiomyopathy)
The purpose of this research study is to test whether nucresiran is safe and helps people with transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR) with cardiomyopathy. In this study, the effects of nucresiran are compared to the effects of placebo. At the beginning of this study, each person will have a 2 out of 3 (67%) chance of being placed in the nucresiran group.

A Multi-Center, Double-Blind, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Trial to Assess Efficacy and Safety of Omecamtiv Mecarbil in Patients with Symptomatic Heart Failure with Severely Reduced Ejection Fraction (COMET-HF)
A new study called COMET-HF (sponsored by Cytokinetics, Inc.) is looking to see whether a study medicine called omecamtiv mecarbil can lower the risk for heart failure-related events and deaths, heart transplant, and strokes in people who have heart failure with a low ejection fraction (when the heart isn?t pumping out as much blood as it should with each beat).

ACHIEVE GREATER: Addressing Cardiometabolic Health Inequities by Early PreVEntion in the GREAT LakEs Region
ACHIEVE-P4: PATHFINDER is a study looking at the impact on symptoms and outcomes of heart failure patients utilizing portable air cleaners in their home. Participants will receive two portable air cleaners and an indoor air quality sensor. The air cleaners will be randomized to either have filters in them or not. Follow-up in-person visits are scheduled at 30- and 90-days after enrollment.

Home-based Exercise Program Using Mobile Technology After Left Ventricular Assist Device Implantation (MOVE-LVAD II)
This study is looking at whether a home-based exercise program, supported by mobile technology (such as a smartphone app, wearable device, or remote monitoring tools), can help people who have received a HeartMate 3 (HM3) LVAD become more active, stronger, and healthier after surgery.

Using polygenic scores to guide betablocker therapy for heart failure with mildly reduced ejection fraction (UPBEAT).
Heart failure (HF) is a major public health problem that displays wide variation in progression and response to therapy. UPBEAT is a clinical trial pilot study that will use polygenic scores, a tool which describes differences in genetics, to examine effectiveness of beta blocker medication, a cornerstone of heart failure therapy. Participation requires 8 in-person visits, and randomized assignment to beta-blocker versus placebo medication.

A phase III, double-blind, randomized placebo-controlled study to evaluate the effects of dalcetrapib on cardiovascular (CV) risk in a genetically defined population with a recent Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS): The DAL-302 (dal-GenE-2) trial
This research study is testing whether a medication called dalcetrapib can help lower the risk of future heart attacks in people who were recently hospitalized for acute coronary syndrome and have a certain genetic profile. The study compares dalcetrapib to a placebo to see if personalized, genetics-based treatment can better prevent serious heart problems.

Diuretics Alone vs. Aortix Endovascular Device for Acute Heart Failure (DRAIN-HF)
This study is testing whether the Aortix System is safe and works better than standard medical treatment for people who are hospitalized with acute heart failure and still have excess fluid buildup (congestion) even after receiving the usual treatments.

A research study providing new treatment for pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the arteries in the lungs) caused by left -sided heart disease. This study will evaluate the safety and effectiveness of investigational device called the Multi-Pole Pulmonary Artery Frequency Ablation Enhancor System ("Enhancor System").

THE MAGENTA ELEVATE HIGH-RISK PCI PIVOTAL TRIAL PROTOCOL (ELEVATE III)
For patients having a procedure to open severe blockages in the heart's arteries. Due to your severe blockages and weakened heart function, you may be at higher risk of having a drop in blood flow. THE MAGENTA ELEVATE device heart pump device is used during the procedure. This device is intended to prevent drops in blood flow during the procedure. It does this by assisting the heart in pumping blood through the body.

Randomized Evaluation of Bromocriptine in Myocardial Recovery Therapy (REBIRTH) for Peripartum Cardiomyopathy
Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is a rare type of heart failure that can happen during the last month of pregnancy or within five months after giving birth, causing the heart to weaken and not pump blood well. Many women improve with heart failure treatment. This study is testing whether bromocriptine, a drug approved in the U.S. for other conditions but not PPCM, can help improve heart function in women recently diagnosed with PPCM.
