Hidden lung disease common in heart patients who smoke?

NCT ID NCT07315958

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study will check 1,000 smokers aged 40+ who visit heart doctors to see how many have undiagnosed COPD, a lung disease that often goes unnoticed. Participants will take a simple breathing test and answer a questionnaire. The goal is to find out how common hidden COPD is in this group, which could help doctors catch it earlier.

What this could lead to

If successful, this study could help doctors identify hidden COPD in heart patients, leading to earlier treatment and better outcomes.

What could go wrong

This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It only measures prevalence and does not test any intervention, so direct patient benefits are limited.
