Hidden heart condition may be common in seniors with heart failure

NCT ID NCT06427304

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at how often cardiac amyloidosis—a condition where abnormal proteins build up in the heart—occurs in people aged 80 and older who have been hospitalized for heart failure. Researchers will use bone scans to detect the condition in 637 participants. The goal is to find out how many of these older patients have undiagnosed cardiac amyloidosis, which could help improve future screening and care.

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 show that cardiac amyloidosis is a common, hidden cause of heart failure in older adults, leading to better screening and earlier diagnosis.

What could go wrong

This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It will not test any therapy, and the results may not apply to all older adults with heart failure.
