Heart pump secrets could predict complications
NCT ID NCT06039176
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at data from the HeartMate 3 heart pump to see if it can help predict problems like bleeding, infection, or frailty in people with advanced heart failure. Researchers will track 150 adults getting the pump and compare pump alarms and readings to their health over 12 months. The goal is to find patterns that could lead to better care and quality of life.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help doctors predict and prevent serious complications like bleeding or infection in LVAD patients, improving their quality of life.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It may not find clear links between pump data and outcomes, and results may not apply to all patients.

Who is studied
The sample for this prospective study will derive of a goal of 15 individuals recruited at each of the 10 different dLVAD implanting centers, recognizing that not all sites may be able to recruit 15 participants. Participants will be selected through sequential convenience sampling, meaning each center will recruit participants in a sequential fashion in each of the centers based upon availability.
