NCT ID NCT06200636

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

Summary

This study looked at whether signs of heart failure can be found in fluid just under the skin, called dermal interstitial fluid. Researchers tested 20 heart failure patients using a special device to collect this fluid during exercise. The goal was to see if these skin-based markers could one day help track the disease without needing blood draws.
