Patients presenting with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy and left ventricle dysfunction (LVEF <40%), naive of anti-remodeling cardiac medical therapy, will undergo invasive coronary microvascular assessment based on thermodilution. The primary endpoint, namely the left ventricle reverse remodeling, will be assessed after 12 months of optimal medical therapy based on transthoracic echocardiography. The primary endpoint will be evaluated by an independent central core lab. Patients enrolled in the study will be followed for a period of 5 years to monitor their clinical status. During the study period participants may undergo multimodality diagnostic tests including ECG telemetry monitoring, cardiopulmonary exercise testing, cardiovascular cardiac magnetic resonance.
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.
Evaluating the efficacy of sirolimus (compared to standard therapy alone) in the treatment of dilated cardiomyopathy infected with Kaposi Sarcoma-associated virus -- a multicenter randomized controlled study.
Prospective, randomised, multicentre, open-label study to assess the non-inferiority of a personalised precision strategy for Sudden Cardiac Death (SCD) prevention in patients with non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy with Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF) ≤35%

This open-label, single-arm multi-center study studying the safety and efficacy of TXA127 on non-ambulant patients with DMD Cardiomyopathy will comprise of two phases: 1. 6-month open-label treatment phase: Male DMD patients with documented cardiomyopathy, will receive a daily subcutaneous injection of TXA127 0.5 mg/kg. Treatment will be provided for 6 months. Treatment safety will be assessed by collection and review of AEs, vital signs, ECGs, physical examinations, PFTs, and laboratory parameters on Day 1, Month 1, and Month 6. Ejection Fraction, upper extremity strength and biomarker levels will be assessed at these study visits as well. In addition, an abbreviated safety visit will be conducted at Month 3. 2. 12-month optional extension phase: Patients will continue the same study drug regime for an additional 12 months. The primary objective of this phase is to obtain long-term safety data. Efficacy data will also be collected. Safety, efficacy, and exploratory biomarkers will be assessed at Month 12 and Month 18, using the same methods as in the treatment phase. In addition, abbreviated safety visits will be conducted at Month 9 and Month 15.
The purpose of this study is to learn about the natural progression of DCM (dilated cardiomyopathy) caused by BAG3 gene mutations. DCM is a condition as the heart muscle is weakened and the heart becomes enlarged. This makes it hard for the heart to pump enough blood for the body. The study is seeking up to about 35 participants who have: - BAG3 mutation (change in the gene) that causes or is likely to cause dilated cardiomyopathy - NYHA (New York Heart Association) Class I-IV at screening (Stage B-D) - Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction less than or equal to 50% (meaning reduced heart function) All participants in this study will receive their usual treatment. The investigators will observe the natural progression of people who have BAG3 DCM. This will help the investigators better understand the disease and aid in future research. Participants will take part in this study for one year. During this time, participants will visit the site at least 4 times (about every 3 months). Participants will undergo study procedures and give information about their health. These procedures will include a physical exam, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, echocardiography, ECG monitoring, activity monitoring, cardiopulmonary exercise testing, and blood tests. Participants will answer questions about health and quality of life. The study team will also call participants about 1 time over the phone.
The goal of the current research is to develop personalized risk prediction for functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) patients through explainable unsupervised phenomapping enriched with advanced cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging biomarkers, and to determine the CMR predictors of reverse remodeling following modern therapies for FMR. The prospective study entails aiming to recruit 360 adult patients (ages >18 years) with EF 10-50% and FMR RF> 20%, who are clinically referred for CMR evaluation. Patients who enroll in our study will be referred for optimization of mGDMT and will undergo follow-up CMR studies at 6months. NICM patients who are fully medically optimized with significant FMR at the time of the baseline CMR and are referred for Mitraclip treatment will undergo follow-up CMR 6 months from Mitraclip intervention. NICM patients referred for mGDMT optimization, but have persistent or progressive FMR at the time of 6 month follow-up CMR and referred for Mitraclip therapy, will undergo a 2nd follow-up CMR 6 months from Mitraclip therapy.
A significant reduction in the incidence of CV death or hospitalization for HF has been observed in randomized trials investigating the CV benefit of Dapagliflozin. Mechanistic investigations are required to interpret the positive clinical effects of Dapagliflozin on heart structure and valvular regurgitation.
