First seen Feb 14, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 16 times

Summary

This study looks at how a special MRI scan can measure muscle health in people with heart failure who also have muscle loss (sarcopenia). Researchers will scan 70 adults—some with heart failure and sarcopenia, some without—to compare muscle changes. The goal is to find better ways to detect and track sarcopenia, not to test a treatment.
