Simple Finger-Prick test could uncover hidden heart failure
NCT ID NCT07320677
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a simple blood test (NT-proBNP) can help find heart failure earlier in adults who take water pills (loop diuretics) but haven't been diagnosed with heart failure. About 400 people from GP practices in Jersey will take part. Some GP practices will offer the blood test, while others will continue usual care. The goal is to see if the test leads to more heart failure diagnoses and uncovers other heart problems within a year.
