Predicting heart function using echocardiography and body composition data

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to develop and validate a predictive model for cardiac function, specifically left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), by combining echocardiographic measurements with body composition data from the QCCUNIQ BC 720 device. It will enroll 2,000 adult participants, half with normal LVEF and half with heart failure, to undergo standard echocardiography and body composition analysis. The study seeks to analyze the relationships between echocardiographic parameters and body composition measures to create a non-invasive prediction model for identifying individuals at higher risk of cardiac dysfunction.
