Metabolic Changes in Patients With Chronic Cardiopulmonary Disease
An observational study of Heart Failure and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, run by General and Teaching Hospital Celje at 1 site in Slovenia.
Trial summary
This study aims to evaluate prevalence of sarcopenia and cachexia in patients with chronic cardiopulmonary disease. The investigators will also investigate metabolic disorders like glucose metabolism, presence of metabolic syndrome, body composition and histological changes in skeletal muscle and body fat.

About this study
Official title: Metabolic and Histological Changes in Skeletal Muscle and Fat Tissue in Patients With Chronic Cardiopulmonary Disease
This study aims to evaluate prevalence of sarcopenia and cachexia in patients with chronic cardiopulmonary disease. The investigators will also investigate metabolic disorders like glucose metabolism, presence of metabolic syndrome, body composition and histological changes in skeletal muscle and body fat. Finally, patients will be followed for clinical endpoints.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Heart Failure and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, run by General and Teaching Hospital Celje at 1 site in Slovenia.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Sep 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Slovenia. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
Results are not available in the source record.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Mitja Lainscak (mitja.lainscak@guest.arnes.si), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) (time frame: Baseline). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 16 Sep 2015; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
