Summary

This study looks for better ways to detect muscle loss (sarcopenia) in people with heart failure. Many heart failure patients also have muscle loss, which makes their condition worse. Researchers will measure muscle mass, strength, and walking speed in 80 adults aged 50 and older to find early warning signs. The goal is to improve diagnosis and help tailor treatments.
