First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how inflammation and oxidation (chemical reactions in the body) might damage the heart and lead to heart failure. Researchers are tracking over 1,200 healthy adults aged 40+ (or 18+ with a family history of heart failure) to see if waste products in blood or urine can predict future heart problems. The goal is to find early warning signs before symptoms appear.
