An observational study in Heart Failure, Comorbidity and Osteoporosis, sponsored by Medical University of Graz. Completed at 1 site in Austria. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2019-06-24.
Sponsored by Medical University of Graz · Observational
This study aims to create a database of patients with stable and chronic heart failure with comprehensive assessment of bone, skeletal and vascular status. RoC-HF will facilitate cross-sectional and, eventually, longitudinal mechanistic epidemiological analyses to disentangle the role of the bone- vascular axis in chronic heart failure. Blood and urine samples will be stored to facilitate future biomarker analyses.
1,640 studies on the registry are indexed under Osteoporosis; 212 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 205 is above the median of 174 across 446 observational studies indexed under Osteoporosis.

Stable patients with chronic heart failure
Exclusion Criteria:
Every participant will undergo X-ray of the spine so that vertebral fractures can be quantified using the Genant score.
ABPM will be performed using the brachial, oscillometric, automated self-measurement mobil-O-Graph device (I.E.M. GmbH, Stolberg, Germany) with integrated ARCSolver®-Software (Austrian Institute of Technology Wien).
Individual bone mineral density and T-Score will be determined by X-ray absorptiometry.
Other non-invasive study procedures include structured patient interview, sampling of blood, buffy coat and spot urine (including biobanking), electrocardiogram, pulse wave velocity and analysis, transthoracic echocardiography, 4-meter gait speed test, hand grip test, questionnaires
