Filter by:This is a Phase 1 study to determine the safety and efficacy of allogeneic neonatal mesenchymal stromal cells (nMSCs) for the treatment of Dilated Cardiomyopathy. The purpose of the study is to help doctors and scientists learn if allogeneic neonatal mesenchymal stromal cells (nMSCs) infusions are a safe and effective way to improve cardiac function and left ventricular ejection fraction.
HCM FLIP study is a two-phase protocol focusing on the detection of Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy using Electrocardiograms and Echocardiograms through Federated Learning.
Development of pacing induced cardiomyopathy (PICM) is correlated to a high morbidity as signified by an increase in heart failure admissions and mortality. At present a lack of data leads to a failure to identify patients who are at risk of PICM and would benefit from pre-selection to physiological pacing. In the light of the foregoing, there is an urgent need for novel non-invasive detection techniques which would aid risk stratification, offer a better understanding of the prevalence and incidence of PICM in individuals with pacing devices and the contribution of additional risk factors.
Genetic cardiomyopathy is increasingly recognised and can lead to heart failure, arrhythmia and sudden cardiac death. Some gene positive patients have rapidly progressive disease with high rates of heart failure and cardiac transplantation, while others present with SCD. Other gene positive patients will never develop cardiomyopathy. At present, we cannot distinguish between these groups and rely on expensive and labour-intensive surveillance by electrocardiography, echocardiography and sometimes cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. This study will investigate existing and novel biomarkers (including blood, urine electrocardiographic and imaging) at various stages of disease in patients with a personal or family history of TTN, MYBPC3, LMNA, FLNC or DSP gene variant, which are known to cause cardiomyopathy.
Coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) is among pathophysiological states of significance in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). The index of microcirculatory resistance (IMR) has been recognized as an indicator of CMD and considered of important prognostic value in various conditions. The angiography-derived index of microcirculatory resistance (angio-IMR) is a novel guidewire-free method to assess IMR and proved to have favourable correlation with it. This study was designed to assess prognostic impact of CMD in HCM patients, using angio-IMR as a novel non-invasive assessment tool.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if sotagliflozin, a dual SGLT1 and SGLT2 inhibitor, works to treat symptomatic, nonobstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (noHCM) in adult patients. It will also learn about the safety of sotagliflozin in this patient population. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Will sotagliflozin be well tolerated in patients with nonobstructive HCM? 2. Will sotaglifozin improve exercise capacity, diastolic dysfunction and/or physical functioning in patients with nonobstructive HCM? 3. Will sotagliflozin improve circulating markers of cardiac metabolism in patients with nonobstructive HCM? Researchers will compare sotagliflozin to a placebo (a look-alike substance that contains no drug) to see if sotagliflozin is effective at treating hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Participants will: Take sotagliflozin or a placebo every day for 12 weeks. They will then cross-over (or switch) to taking placebo or sotagliflozin (whichever one they did not take initially) for an additional 12 weeks. Visit the clinic once every 4-12 weeks for checkups, surveys, and tests including a stress test and echocardiogram.
Cirrhosis and portal hypertension are associated with a hyperdynamic circulation and decompensation events, including development of ascites, variceal bleeding, acute kidney injury, and susceptibility to infections. Rationale: Cirrhosis and portal hypertension are associated with a hyperdynamic circulation and decompensation events, including ascites, variceal bleeding, acute kidney injury, and susceptibility to infections. CCM, present in 30-70% of patients, is characterized by structural and functional abnormalities in the heart, and is associated with progression of cirrhosis, impaired quality of life and poor survival. Statins play a crucial role in reducing proatherogenic LDL cholesterol levels, making them a cornerstone in managing diabetes and cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) with the aim of decreasing or reversing atherosclerosis. This trial aims to evaluate the impact and safety of simvastatin in cirrhotic cardiomyopathy. Novelty: Simvastatin might be of special value in diastolic dysfunction through its hemodynamic and functional effects on LV remodeling and improve portal hemodynamics through the pleotropic effects of lipophilic statins. Objectives: The primary objective is to assess the combined effects of carvedilol and simvastatin in managing CCM vs carvedilol alone for a composite outcome to prevent decompensation and reduce all-cause mortality. We will comprehensively evaluate cardiac function, decompensation events and survival based on impact of simvastatin over the standard betablocker carvedilol. Methods: This is double-blinded randomized placebo-controlled trial involving patients diagnosed with CCM. Clinical data, including cardiac imaging, cardiac biomarkers, and survival outcomes, will be assessed for either group. Expected Outcome: We anticipate that the synergistic use of simvastatin and carvedilol will effectively reduce portal pressure, improve portal haemodynamic, and enhance cardiac remodelling. Successful reversal of LVDD can potentially prevent clinical events such as ascites, encephalopathy, and acute kidney injury (AKI).
This is a randomized controlled clinical trial that aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Dapagliflozin as a cardioprotective in doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity in breast cancer patients.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety and PK of aficamten in a pediatric population with symptomatic obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (oHCM).
Heart scarring, also known as fibrosis, plays a major role in a lot of heart muscle abnormalities. These abnormalities of the heart muscle can lead to major issues such as symptoms of heart failure, dangerous heart rhythm disturbances and even death. However, a lot of these conditions are still not fully understood and treatment options are limited. We here aim to use a new radioactive dye called 68Ga-FAPI to identify patterns and the activity of heart muscle scarring. This radioactive dye is being used in humans particularly in identifying and monitoring cancers and has shown promise in identifying scarring in the heart as well. This will help us not only understand the underlying disease process and risk stratify these patients but also potentially help us develop new targeted therapies that can affect heart muscle scarring. Participants will undergo a baseline MRI scan using this new dye and a plain MRI scan will repeated 12-18 months after to see if there are any changes in the process.
