Obesity Trial, Recruiting

Written by an AI model from the ClinicalTrials.gov eligibility criteria and checked on a sample basis. Please confirm against the original criteria.

Who might be able to join this trial:

• People aged between 65 and 85 years old
• People who have been diagnosed with stable heart failure where the heart is either pumping normally (preserved function) or pumping with reduced strength (confirm with trial site for specific measurements)
• People whose heart failure symptoms are classified as mild to moderate — meaning everyday activities cause little to some limitation (known as NYHA Class 1, 2, or 3)
• People who have been diagnosed with sarcopenia (a condition involving low muscle strength and reduced muscle mass) or sarcopenic obesity (low muscle mass combined with excess body fat), based on specific measurements of muscle strength, muscle mass, and in some cases waist size — a trial site assessment would determine whether the specific measurements meet the criteria

Who may not be able to join:

• People with severe obstructive heart disease
• People with aortic valve stenosis (a narrowing of a major heart valve)
• People who showed severe irregular heart rhythms during an initial exercise stress test
• People who have a blood clot inside a heart chamber
• People with severely high blood pressure in the lungs (above a specific measurement)
• People who have had a blood clot in a vein or lung within the past three months
• People who have previously had a heart transplant
• People with other medical conditions that significantly limit their physical ability beyond what is caused by their heart failure

Important: Always verify eligibility with the trial site directly before applying.
