Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to describe insulin resistance in a general chronic heart failure population, in combination with muscle strength, body composition and cardiac function.

It is assumed that insulin resistance is increased in CHF patient, and that this is related to decreased muscle strength and decreased lean tissue mass.
