Filter by:The primary objective of this observational registry is to develop a comprehensive clinical and imaging score (incorporating echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance data) that enhances risk stratification for patients with Takotsubo syndrome. The secondary objectives of this registry are as follows: Investigate the diagnostic value of cardiac magnetic resonance parameters in predicting in-hospital and long-term outcomes in patients with Takotsubo syndrome. Compare the proposed risk stratification score for patients with Takotsubo syndrome with previously existing scores. Investigate the contribution of machine learning models in predicting in-hospital and long-term outcomes compared to standard clinical scores. The design and rationale of this registry are available at 10.1097/RTI.0000000000000709
The goal of this clinical trial is to test IC14 (atibuclimab) in patients with arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM) and who have an implantable cardoverter/defibrillator in place. ACM is also called arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia (ARV) or arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC). The main questions the study aims to answer are the effect of treatment on blood markers of inflammation, safety, and pharmacokinetics. There will also be measurements of myocardial imaging of C-C chemokine receptor type 2 (CCR2+) immune cells (optional), monitoring of cardiac arrhythmias using the patient's pre-existing intracardiac cardioverter/defibrillator (ICD) and a Holter monitor, electrocardiogram (ECG), echocardiogram (ECHO), and blood tests. Results will be compared to baseline; there is no inactive placebo treatment group. Participants will be asked to undergo screening and baseline testing, then receive 4 intravenous infusions with blood measurements before and after the infusion (including 24, 48, and 72 hours and 7, 14, and 28 days). Participants will be offered specialized scanning of the heart muscle, and will be asked to provide recordings from their ICD, undergo Holter monitoring twice, and have electrocardiograms (ECG), echocardiograms (ECHO) and blood tests.
The aim of this study is to investigate the association between increased lifetime physical activity and the development of wild-type transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy.
This study will test a medicine, NNC6019-0001, for people who have a heart disease due to TTR amyloidosis. It will look at how safe this medicine is in the long term and if it can reduce symptoms of a heart disease due to TTR amyloidosis, such as heart failure. It is an extension to a study called "A research study to look at how a new medicine called NNC6019-0001 works and how safe it is for people who have a heart disease due to TTR amyloidosis". Only participants who have completed that study will be invited for this new study. Participants will get NNC6019-0001, regardless of whether they got placebo or NNC6019-0001 in the first study. The study will last for up to 157 weeks (36 months/3 years).
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a pathology with a highly variable course, ranging from patients who are asymptomatic throughout their lives to those who experience sudden death and/or terminal heart failure. The main objective is to develop and validate an algorithm (constructed through supervised learning) using cardiac imaging data to predict the risk of cardiovascular events in sarcomeric hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of mavacamten in adolescent patients with symptomatic obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM).
All ATTRwt patients on tafamidis 61 mg treatment will be clinically evaluated before treatment initiation and subsequently every six months for the eligibility to continue tafamidis treatment, according to Italian Medicines Agency regulations. C onsidering the significant risk of developing heart rhythm disturbances due to cardiac amyloidosis, especially in transthyretin form (ATTRwt), in routine clinical practice a stricter heart rhythm monitoring is recommended in ATTRwt patients. Moreover, particular attention is usually paid for those who present atrio-ventricular and/or intraventricular block at the baseline electrocardiogram. Data about rhythm disturbances and diuretic dose need will be collected during the planned physical examination every six months and the Holter ECG monitoring requested by the physician at the end of every planned clinical evaluation.
Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a condition associated with Left and /or right ventricular (LV) dilatation and systolic dysfunction without coronary artery disease or abnormal loading circumstances proportionate to the severity of LV impairment. It is one of the leading causes of heart failure in younger adults, often requiring cardiac transplantation, and is caused by various factors, including myocarditis, alcohol, drug, and metabolic disturbances. About 35% of patients have genetic mutations affecting cytoskeletal, sarcomere, and nuclear envelope proteins. The prognosis depends on the severity and heart remodeling, with the worst outcomes in patients with low ejection fractions or severe diastolic dysfunction. Although it is more common in men, DCM also occur in women, and hence hormonal factors can play a role in the development of DCM in women. Bromocriptine has been suggested as a potential treatment option. Bromocriptine is a dopamine agonist that is primarily used to treat conditions such as hyperprolactinemia, and acromegaly. However, it has also been studied in the context of heart failure, and some studies have suggested that it may be beneficial in women with Peripartal cardiomyopathy (PPCM), a form of DCM that occurs in the last month of pregnancy or up to five months postpartum. The mechanism by which bromocriptine may improve left ventricular function in DCM is not fully understood, but it is thought to be related to its ability to reduce prolactin levels. Prolactin is a hormone that has been shown to be elevated in some cases of DCM, and it may contribute to the development and progression of the condition. To date, the use of bromocriptine is recommended for the treatment of pregnancy-related cardiomyopathy (PPCM) due to a significant increase in prolactin levels. However, prolactin level may increase during menstrual cycles of reproductive-age women, which candidates the use of bromocriptine in women of all reproductive ages. The aims of this study is to assess the use of bromocriptine in terms of LV function improvement, overall improvement of heart failure symptoms and reduced mortality and improved quality of life, in dilated cardiomyopathy among women of reproductive age.
This study aims to evaluate the incidence of coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) and its prognostic implication for the improvement of left ventricular function in patients who have been diagnosed with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) caused by non-ischemic etiology.
