HFpEF - Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction study: HEART Camp vs HEART Camp Connect
Official title HEART Camp Connect -Promoting Exercise in Adults With Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05784753
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- The study wants to see if meeting with a coach, either in person or by video, helps people with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction exercise more, feel better, and change blood markers.
- Who it's for
- Adults who have heart failure with preserved ejection fraction.
- What's involved
- Participants will use a fitness center, wear a watch and heart‑rate monitor during exercise, and keep a daily exercise diary. They will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: a control group with exercise videos only, an in‑person coaching group, or a video‑coaching group. All groups will have exercise tests, training, and wear an activity monitor for 7 days at four time points, plus blood draws and questionnaires.
- Time commitment
- The study lasts 18 months and includes regular visits for exercise tests, training, blood draws, questionnaires, and wearing activity monitors for 7 days at each of four time points.

Compensation & support
A stipend or payment for your time may be offered.
No amount is published here because ClinicalTrials.gov has no reliable field for payment or travel support. Ask the study team what's actually covered (payment for your time, travel, parking, or other study costs), and never join a trial for the compensation alone.
