Blood and scans may predict heart recovery in severe heart failure
NCT ID NCT07701876
First seen Jul 14, 2026 · Last updated Jul 15, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at why some people with severe heart failure (called HFrEF) see their heart function improve after standard medical therapy, while others do not. Researchers will collect blood samples and imaging data from 1,740 patients in China and follow them for 12 months. The goal is to find molecular and imaging markers that predict improvement, which could help tailor treatments in the future. No experimental drugs are given—participants receive their usual care.
