New study aims to improve COPD care by checking the heart too

NCT ID NCT07481825

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

Summary

This study tests whether adding a thorough heart evaluation to standard lung care helps people with mild-to-moderate COPD who also have heart risks. About 350 adults will be randomly assigned to either the combined heart-lung check or usual respiratory care. The goal is to see if the combined approach improves heart function, exercise ability, and quality of life over 12 months.
