New calculator could spot heart failure before it strikes
NCT ID NCT05955456
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing a risk calculator that predicts who might develop heart failure, so doctors can catch it earlier. Researchers will recruit 600 adults aged 50 and over with conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure. The goal is to see if the calculator works well in real-world clinics and helps reach people from diverse backgrounds.
