NCT ID NCT07315958
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Aug 14, 2026 · Updated 4 times
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.
