Can your muscles predict a heart attack? new AI study aims to find out
NCT ID NCT07476456
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at 421 people who are getting a heart device (ICD) to see if muscle health can help predict sudden cardiac death. Researchers will use AI to combine muscle scans, blood tests, and other data to build a risk prediction tool. No new treatments are tested—the goal is to better understand and forecast dangerous heart events.
