What the studies found
Curcumin (turmeric) has been tested in randomised trials in people with Heart failure.
We found 23 published papers on Curcumin (turmeric) and Heart failure. They were published between 2008 and 2025.
1 of them are studies in people (1 randomised trials), 4 are reviews, 13 are studies in animals and 2 are studies only in the lab.
