Plain-English translation of NCT06884631 on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗ ·
Researchers are studying a new way to predict which heart failure patients face the greatest health risks. The MECKI score combines information from an exercise stress test with measurements of heart function and kidney health to give doctors a more complete picture of each patient's condition. This approach aims to identify patients who need the most urgent care and treatment.
Current methods for predicting outcomes in heart failure patients often miss important clues from exercise tests and kidney function. This trial exists to prove that combining exercise data with heart and kidney measurements can help doctors spot high-risk patients earlier and make better treatment decisions.

You will complete an exercise stress test (walking or cycling while monitored) and have blood tests to measure your heart and kidney function. Researchers will track how these measurements change over time to develop a better risk prediction tool. The study is enrolling up to 10,000 heart failure patients, and you would be contributing your medical data to help improve care for people with your condition.
