Clinical Trials

Do you have heart failure? In this clinical trial, researchers are using images of the heart and blood tests to learn more about Black and Hispanic patients with heart failure. You may be able to participate if you are at least 60 years old; of Black, Hispanic, or Caribbean origin; and have been diagnosed with heart failure. The study is taking place in locations in Connecticut, Massachusetts, and New York.

Do you have endometriosis? Researchers in this clinical trial are studying the effect of therapy that lowers estrogen levels on the risk of cardiovascular disease among women with endometriosis. To join the study, you must be between the ages of 18 and 45. The study is enrolling women with endometriosis, as well as women without endometriosis. The study is taking place in New Haven, Connecticut.

Are you an adult with heart failure and an implanted CardioMEMS pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) monitor? This study is investigating whether psychological stress can make the symptoms of heart failure worse. Participants of this study will have their blood pressure monitored and their blood drawn after undergoing mental stress in a controlled setting, within a laboratory. To participate in this study, you must be at least 18 years old. This study takes place in New Haven, Connecticut.

Do you have heart failure and need treatment with intravenous (IV) diuretics? This study is exploring the use of chloride supplementation in people with heart failure who require treatment with IV diuretics, which are used to help rid your body of excess water and salt. To participate in this study, you must have heart failure with signs of volume overload (rales, edema, elevated jugular venous pressure [JVP], or weight gain of at least 5 pounds) requiring treatment with IV diuretics. This study takes place in New Haven, Connecticut.

Have you been diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and been referred to the Yale New Haven Hospital Sleep Center for continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment? This study is examining how the features that can raise or lower the risk of OSA can impact how well CPAP works in an individual. Researchers will use detailed sleep studies to determine which features contribute to OSA. Results from this study will help researchers develop treatment plans that can lead to personalized OSA treatments to improve patient lives. To participate in this study, you must be at least 19 years old. This study takes place in North Haven, Connecticut.
