Summary

This study looks at whether standard blood tests for heart failure show different results in African American and Caucasian patients. Researchers will compare levels of cardiac biomarkers in 400 adults newly diagnosed with heart failure. The goal is to see if current tests miss or underestimate heart failure severity in African American patients, which could lead to better, more personalized care.
