Prevalence of ATTR Cardiac Amyloidosis in Patients Undergoing TAVR

Status Not yet recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

ATTR-cardiac amyloidosis (CA) is present in 4% to 16% of elderly patients with severe calcific aortic stenosis (AS). The reasons for this association are not fully known. It is hypothesized that an amyloidotic infiltration of the aortic valve acts as a trigger for the development of endothelial damage and subsequent calcification. Elderly patients undergoing TAVI will be evaluated for the presence of ATTR-CA in Jordan.

Clinical Trial Description

ATTR-cardiac amyloidosis (CA) is present in 4% to 16% of elderly patients with severe calcific aortic stenosis (AS). The reasons for this association are not fully known. Two hypotheses may explain this association 1. Amyloidotic infiltration of the aortic valve acts as a trigger for the development of endothelial damage and subsequent calcification. 2. The increased myocardial strain induced by AS may locally favor the process of amyloidogenesis and tissue infiltration. Transarterial AV replacement (TAVI) is the treatment of choice for elderly patients with severe calcific AS. Studies have shown a prevalence of about 10% of ATTR cardiac amyloidosis in patients undergoing TAVI. The diagnosis is based on a positive nuclear scan (PYP, DPD or HMDP) and ruling out AL amyloidosis in patients with positive scans. While studies have shown no impact of ATTR on prognosis in TAVI patients, there is evidence of poorer quality of life, increased in-hospital acute ischemic stroke, increased cardiac and heart failure hospitalizations, increased conduction abnormalities, compared to patients without ATTR undergoing TAVI. The prevalence of ATTR in TAVI patients in Jordan and Middle Eastern populations has not been previously evaluated. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the prevalence of ATTR cardiac amyloidosis in elderly Middle Eastern patients undergoing TAVI and to document the clinical characteristics, procedural outcomes and 1 year follow up of such patients compared to patients without ATTR. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
