Scientists search for hidden clues to muscle wasting in heart patients

NCT ID NCT06217640

Summary

This study aims to understand why people with heart failure often lose muscle mass and strength, a condition called sarcopenia. Researchers will study 80 participants, comparing those with heart failure to healthy individuals. They will use blood tests, body scans, and fitness assessments to look for patterns that could help doctors spot this muscle loss earlier and guide future treatments.
